Abstract

This phenomenological study explores the lived experiences and meaning-making processes of religious tourists visiting Gua Maria Ambarawa, investigating how spiritual service quality, worship facilities, accessibility, and religious atmosphere contribute to visitor satisfaction. Employing an interpretive qualitative approach, this research engaged 100 purposively selected participants through in-depth phenomenological interviews, participant observation, and hermeneutic analysis of tourist narratives. Four primary experiential dimensions emerged: spiritual service as divine mediation (prayer services, spiritual guidance, religious information, ritual ceremonies, worship timing); sacred infrastructure as embodied faith (worship capacity, cleanliness as spiritual purity, liturgical equipment, contemplative spaces, supporting facilities); accessibility as pilgrimage preparation (road conditions, transportation, parking, location accessibility); and religious atmosphere as numinous experience (sacred ambiance, tranquility, religious ornamentation, spiritual atmosphere). Through thematic analysis and phenomenological reduction, the research demonstrates that visitor satisfaction transcends conventional service quality metrics, representing holistic spiritual transformation where pilgrims construct meaning through embodied encounters with the sacred. The findings reveal that 86.6% of satisfaction variance reflects these experiential dimensions, while 13.4% represents the irreducible mystery of individual spiritual journey and divine encounter. This study contributes to religious tourism phenomenology by demonstrating how quantitative satisfaction correlates with qualitative spiritual transformation, offering implications for sustainable sacred site management that honors both visitor spiritual needs and religious authenticity while fostering interfaith dialogue and community development.

Abstract

Increasing investment is a national strategic priority to boost economic growth, job creation, and regional competitiveness. A key challenge in realizing investment lies in the complexity of licensing, especially environmental permits that require compliance with technical standards and sectoral regulations. To address this, the government implemented a risk-based business licensing policy through digital systems OSS and JOSS. This qualitative study analyzes the effectiveness of this policy in East Java, using a framework of institutional capacity and effectiveness, viewed from the perspective of collaboration among policy actors. Findings show that OSS and JOSS systems have improved licensing efficiency, accelerated Business Identification Number (NIB) issuance, and strengthened DPMPTSP’s role as the implementing institution. However, challenges remain in environmental licensing, including weak cross-sectoral coordination, limited human resources, inconsistent spatial and environmental data, and the absence of a structured collaborative mechanism involving local governments, businesses, and environmental oversight institutions. These barriers hinder optimal implementation. The study concludes that digital innovation alone is insufficient for successful policy outcomes. Effective implementation also requires regulatory consistency, institutional strengthening, and adaptive collaborative governance to respond to the complexity and dynamic nature of cross-sectoral policies, especially in environmentally sensitive areas.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effectiveness of digital marketing strategies in a leather product SME in Malang City using two approaches: Customer Journey Mapping (CJM) and Marketing Funnel Analysis. The SME relies on Instagram and WhatsApp as its main interaction and sales channels but faces low user engagement and limited conversion of inquiries into transactions. A descriptive qualitative method was applied based on the analysis of customer conversations and social media insights. Data were collected from exported WhatsApp chats, Instagram Direct Messages (DMs), and customer interviews and surveys. The analysis included persona categorization, mapping of funnel stages (awareness, interest, consideration, conversion, loyalty), and identification of touchpoints, activities, emotions, and pain points, complemented by conversion rate calculations. The results show that most customers interact through WhatsApp (62.6%), with an overall conversion rate of 35.48%. The transition from interest to consideration recorded the highest drop-off, while customer loyalty and repeat orders emerged as the SME’s strongest asset. Interactions involving the owner achieved higher conversions than those managed by the admin, indicating the importance of personalized communication. CJM analysis also identified key pain points in sizing accuracy and product revisions, although these challenges were partly mitigated through after-sales support. Overall, the study concludes that digital marketing for SMEs can be strengthened by leveraging funnel and CJM-based insights to improve content quality, enhance communication performance, and optimize customer experience. These findings offer practical guidance for developing more targeted and data-driven digital marketing strategies within a business intelligence framework.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the current legal phenomenon with the Omnibus Law on Job Creation, which allows the establishment of Limited Liability Companies with only one person, known as a sole proprietorship (as referred to in this law). This company is formed by electronically filling out the required forms through the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Article 13 of Minister of Law and Human Rights Regulation Number 21 of 2021 concerning the Requirements and Procedures for the Registration of Establishment, Changes, and Dissolution of Limited Liability Companies). In this context, the individual acts as the founder, shareholder, and concurrently as the director of the sole proprietorship. One of the main differences in the form of a company lies in the aspect of liability. In the legal context, both the Limited Liability Company as a sole proprietorship and the Limited Liability Company as a corporate legal entity are recognized as legal entities with rights and legal obligations. Therefore, the conformity of the legal concept of the Limited Liability Company as a sole proprietorship with the Limited Liability Company as a corporate legal entity depends on compliance with the requirements and legal provisions applicable to each form of the Limited Liability Company, taking into account the business and financial needs of the company owner. The two issues addressed in this research are the nature of the Limited Liability Company as a Legal Entity and the conformity of the legal concept of the Limited Liability Company as a sole proprietorship with the Limited Liability Company as a Corporate Legal Entity. In line with the focus and issues raised, this research employs a normative method that considers law as a normative system. The research relies on documents, primarily regulations in Civil Law, Commercial Law, and Law Number 40 of 2007 concerning Limited Liability Companies to explain and address the conformity of the legal concept of the Limited Liability Company as a sole proprietorship with the Limited Liability Company as a corporate legal entity.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the dynamics of the business environment and formulate adaptive strategies focused on sustainability for a state-owned beef processing company. Specifically, this research examines the impact of sustainable operational management on environmental and financial performance. Findings: The analysis shows that high waste ratios and a lack of real-time technology are internal weaknesses that can be addressed.

Originality/Value: This study offers a unique contribution by integrating business environment analysis, operational strategy, and performance impacts into a single, coherent framework, specifically within the context of the meat processing industry in a developing country. Practical/Policy Implications: The results of this study offer practical guidance for managers in designing efficient and sustainable operational strategies. For policymakers, these findings can serve as a basis for formulating regulations and incentives that encourage the industry to adopt more responsible and competitive business practices.

Abstract

Experiential nature-based tourism has become a hype after the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, not every special interest tourism provider like SAREMA in Garut is able to ride this wave. Therefore, this research is going to unveil the conventional 7Ps Marketing Mix and psychological aspect to analyze the most dominant factor in driving customers’ decisions in this niche market segment. The study is constructed using a quantitative method by utilizing survey data from 210 respondents using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) to test a mediation model. The bootstrapping result was that the Product, Place, Promotion, People, and Process had no positive correlation towards Customer Attitude. Meanwhile, Price, Physical Evidence, Push Motivation, and Pull Motivation show positive correlation. Through this analysis, it is proven that Customer Attitude is still relevant as the highest and strongest mediator (O = 0.711, ρ = 0.000) of Purchase Intention. This research show that service products like tourism cannot solely rely on traditional 7Ps as their marketing strategy methods. However, the 7Ps remain as ‘hygiene factor’ (a primary antecedent to prevent customers’ dissatisfaction) while the psychological constructs (Push and Pull Motivation) need to be captured in the marketing strategy to increase the destination’s attractiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of store atmosphere on customer satisfaction and revisit intention among consumers of Café Nakoa, Bethek branch, Malang City. The research is based on the growing trend of coffee shops in urban areas and the importance of creating a store atmosphere that enhances customers’ experiences. Store atmosphere is considered a key factor in shaping customer perception, comfort, and loyalty. This research uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research type. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire distributed to 90 respondents who were customers of Café Nakoa Bethek. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the help of SmartPLS 4 software. The variables studied include store atmosphere (X), customer satisfaction (Z), and revisit intention (Y). The results indicate that store atmosphere has a positive and significant influence on customer satisfaction and revisit intention. Moreover, customer satisfaction also significantly affects revisit intention. Another finding reveals that customer satisfaction mediates the indirect effect of store atmosphere on revisit intention. These results imply that optimizing store atmosphere can be a key strategy for enhancing consumer loyalty and business sustainability in the café industry.

Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) operating in the processed food sector have great potential in supporting the local economy, but still face challenges in improving competitiveness and business performance, especially related to innovation, market response, and mastery of business strategies. This phenomenon indicates the need for more adaptive and responsive managerial strategies, particularly through entrepreneurial and market orientation approaches. This study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory design, data were collected through a census technique using questionnaires from 51 MSME entrepreneurs and analyzed using SEM-PLS with the help of the SmartPLS application. The research results show that entrepreneurial orientation has a positive and significant effect on business performance. Additionally, market orientation also has a direct influence on business performance while partially mediating the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and business performance. These findings recommend the importance of integrating entrepreneurial spirit and market understanding as a strategy to enhance the performance and sustainability of SMEs amidst increasingly competitive competition.

Abstract

This study is intended to analyse the legal implications of financial statement fraud in the eFishery case, a prominent Indonesian aquaculture startup that achieved unicorn status. By employing a normative legal research method and case study analysis, this study investigates the modus operandi behind the alleged fraud, the violations of fiduciary and statutory duties, and the potential application of criminal liability. The need for this study is underscored by the rising complexity of startup ecosystems and the limited regulatory safeguards protecting investor and public interests. This study introduces a groundbreaking approach to examining digital corporate fraud by integrating legal doctrine with contemporary fraud theory, such as the Fraud Triangle. Our analysis reveals that the dual financial reporting system used by eFishery executives was a deliberate attempt to mislead stakeholders, violating multiple provisions under Indonesian corporate, financial, and criminal law. These findings are crucial as they demonstrate how current legal frameworks may be inadequate in addressing sophisticated fraud in tech-based startups. This study significantly advances our understanding of legal accountability in digital business models and provides policy insights for improving regulatory oversight. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi hukum dari pemalsuan laporan keuangan dalam kasus eFishery, sebuah startup akuakultur Indonesia yang telah meraih status unicorn. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dan pendekatan studi kasus, penelitian ini mengkaji modus operandi di balik dugaan fraud, pelanggaran terhadap kewajiban fidusia dan hukum, serta kemungkinan penerapan pertanggungjawaban pidana. Urgensi penelitian ini didasarkan pada kompleksitas ekosistem startup yang terus berkembang serta lemahnya perlindungan hukum terhadap kepentingan investor dan publik. Penelitian ini memperkenalkan pendekatan baru dalam menganalisis fraud korporasi digital dengan menggabungkan doktrin hukum dan teori fraud modern seperti Fraud Triangle. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa sistem pelaporan keuangan ganda yang digunakan oleh eksekutif eFishery merupakan tindakan yang disengaja untuk menyesatkan para pemangku kepentingan, dan melanggar berbagai ketentuan dalam hukum perusahaan, keuangan, dan pidana Indonesia. Temuan ini penting karena mengungkapkan kelemahan kerangka hukum saat ini dalam menangani fraud kompleks di sektor startup teknologi. Penelitian ini berkontribusi secara signifikan dalam memperkuat pemahaman mengenai akuntabilitas hukum dalam model bisnis digital dan memberikan rekomendasi kebijakan untuk peningkatan pengawasan regulasi.
