Abstract

This study investigates the trends of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India, focusing on both inflows and outflows as a percentage of GDP from 2000 to 2022. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has become a key driver of economic growth, shaping India’s integration into the global economy. This study employs econometric techniques such as autoregressive (AR) models, Moving Average (MA) models, the Johansen Co-integration Test, and the Granger Causality Test to analyze historical FDI data. These methods help evaluate the dynamic relationships and long-term equilibrium between FDI inflows and outflows. The analysis reveals that historical FDI patterns significantly predict future trends. Specifically, past values and forecast errors influence the direction of FDI, particularly outflow. The Johansen cointegration test confirms a long-term equilibrium relationship between inflows and outflows, while the Granger Causality Test identifies a predictive relationship between net outflows and inflows. The findings suggest that inward and outward FDI are interlinked and play vital roles in India's economic development. Understanding these dynamics can help policymakers craft strategies to enhance India's global investment, while sustaining domestic economic growth

Abstract

This study aims to identify and formulate a risk mitigation model for human resource management (HR) in Indonesian universities with a focus on academic sustainability. Using a qualitative approach and Grounded Theory, data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants from various higher education institutions. The analysis process was conducted through the stages of open coding, axial coding, and selective coding to build a theoretical model based on the data. The results of this study indicate that universities in Indonesia face various structural and systemic HR risks, such as dependence on senior lecturers, weak regeneration and retention policies, and workload imbalances. Based on the findings, a risk-mitigation model was developed based on a proactive approach that includes succession planning, continuous training systems, work flexibility, and integration of risk management into institutional governance. This model has practical implications for the formulation of adaptive and long-term HR policies. This study contributes to the development of HR risk management theory in the higher education sector and provides a policy reference for educational institutions to improve academic resilience and sustainability. Further research is recommended to test this model in various types of institutions and in the context of digital transformation in higher education.

Abstract

Quality health services are an important element in supporting public health status. This study aimed to analyze the level of community satisfaction with health services at Puskesmas Temayang and Bojonegoro Regency. The research method used was descriptive quantitative with 218 respondents selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected through a standardized questionnaire based on Permenpan-RB Number 14 of 2017, with nine elements of the Community Satisfaction Survey indicator. The results showed that the Community Satisfaction Index (IKM) was in the good category. The dimensions of cost/tariff and complaint handling are at the highest value, while the facilities and infrastructure aspects have the lowest scores of other aspects. This shows that there is a need for improvement in physical facilities, both buildings, completeness of service support tools, and strengthening of the competence of health workers. This study is expected to be a strategic input for policymakers to improve the quality of health services, especially at the Puskesmas level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of government spending, investment, and labor force on regional economic growth in the South Sumatra Region (Sumbagsel) from the perspective of Islamic economics over the period 2016–2024. The study employs a quantitative approach using a Fixed Effect panel data regression model covering 25 districts/cities across three provinces: South Sumatra, Bangka Belitung, and Lampung. The findings reveal that all three independent variables have a positive and statistically significant effect on regional economic growth. Foreign direct investment (FDI) exerts the most substantial impact compared to government spending and domestic investment, while the labor force contributes the least, indicating the urgent need to improve labor quality. From the Islamic economic viewpoint, the pattern of regional economic growth has not yet fully reflected key principles such as equitable income distribution, environmental sustainability, and fair business partnerships. A high Gini ratio and a low partnership index highlight the dominance of large economic actors and persistent inequality. This study recommends reforms in fiscal policy, strengthening Islamic financial institutions, and promoting halal-based economic sectors as long-term strategies. Policy implications are directed toward implementing maqashid sharia values ​​in development planning to achieve economic growth that is not only inclusive and sustainable but also aligned with Islamic moral and ethical standards

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally transformed the global economic landscape, accelerating digital adoption across all business sectors. In Indonesia, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which contribute 61.9% to the national GDP and employ 97% of the workforce, have undergone unprecedented digital transformation to survive and thrive in the post-pandemic era. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the impact of digital economy transformation on MSME productivity in Indonesia's post-pandemic landscape, examining both opportunities and challenges while providing strategic recommendations for sustainable growth. This research employs a qualitative methodology through systematic literature review and content analysis of 45 peer-reviewed articles, government reports, and international publications spanning 2020-2024. The study integrates Resource-Based View Theory, Technology Innovation Theory, and Transaction Cost Economics Theory to provide theoretical foundation. Digital transformation has demonstrated significant positive impact on MSME productivity, with studies showing productivity increases of up to 30% and profitability improvements averaging 35% through adoption of e-commerce platforms, digital marketing, and cloud-based management systems. However, challenges persist including limited digital literacy, inadequate infrastructure, and high implementation costs. While digital transformation presents substantial opportunities for MSME growth and competitiveness, successful implementation requires coordinated support from government, private sector, and educational institutions to address existing barriers and ensure inclusive digital economic development.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines the economic impact of Integrated Sustainability Reporting (ISR) on firm value and stakeholder trust amid the evolving regulatory environment driven by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Unlike conventional compliance-based reporting, ISR integrates financial and non-financial disclosures to provide a holistic view of a firm’s sustainability performance. Through thematic analysis of documents and semi-structured interviews with corporate sustainability officers, investors, and regulatory experts, this research uncovers how ISR influences firm valuation and strengthens stakeholder relationships. The findings reveal that ISR enhances transparency and accountability, which fosters increased stakeholder trust and positively affects firm reputation and market perceptions. Consequently, firms adopting ISR benefit from improved access to capital and stronger engagement with stakeholders including customers, employees, and regulators. Challenges remain in harmonizing sustainability data and measuring outcomes comprehensively, yet the strategic value gained through ISR implementation surpasses these hurdles. This study highlights ISR’s role beyond mere regulatory compliance, positioning it as a critical tool for sustainable value creation and trust building in the CSRD era. The insights provide valuable implications for firms seeking to leverage integrated sustainability disclosures to achieve competitive advantage and long-term growth
