<![CDATA[Although project management (PM) literature has addressed project success, attention has not been paid to statistically testing the relationship between various critical success factors (CSFs) and project success in developing countries. Determining the most relevant factors can optimize efforts and boost the project success dimension in this specific environment that struggles to achieve the desired development objectives. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to statistically prove the relationship between project success and an extant range of selected CSFs that englobe PM variables, organization structure, project manager competencies, communication, top management, risk management, and prioritize them to provide valuable information to project managers and enhance the likelihood of project success. The data were collected by means of a survey addressed to project managers and practitioners from Morocco in both public and private sector. Multiple stepwise regressions were conducted to uncover the relationship between each success criteria and the considered CSFs. The results show that the considered model for the first factor of project success covers 59,1% of its variance. The significant variables of this model are PM competencies and PM KPI that increase the success of the first factor by 49% and 29%, respectively. The variance of the second factor of project success is explained by 68%. The significant independent variables are communication, top management support, PM Partnership, PM KPI, and PM policy and strategy. According to the results, the variables participate in project success by 37%, 28,1%, 19,8% 29,9% and 15,5%, respectively.]]>

<![CDATA[Rapid development in the perfume industry has been accompanied by accelerated digitalization, which was unexpected by most Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Many MSMEs in this sector experience problems with access and knowledge of digital technology, especially in digital marketing and e-payment. Most MSME players are still learning and are slow to adopt digitalization in their perfume business. This research aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing, e-payment and digital orientation on the performance of perfume MSMEs in West Java Province. A sample of 100 respondents, company owners or managers, was selected using stratified sampling. Data analysis uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The results show that digital marketing and digital orientation have a positive and significant effect on MSME performance, while e-payment does not have a significant effect. Digital orientation also negatively and insignificantly moderates the influence of digital marketing and e-payment on MSME performance. Perfume MSMEs are advised to consider the role of digital orientation and optimize digital marketing strategies to improve their business performance.]]>

<![CDATA[This research explores the growing internet usage and rapid advancements in information and communication technology. Indonesia has witnessed increased adoption of digital financial technology, particularly in the form of fintech and digital payment systems. It is crucial to differentiate the characteristics and advantages among Indonesia’s top three e-wallets: GoPay, OVO, and DANA. This study employs a comparative approach to analyze the relationship between user preferences and factors within GoPay, OVO, and DANA e-Wallets in the context of digital payment systems. Using a quantitative research approach and statistical verification. Data analysis employs SEM with the PLS method, involving 150 respondents whose results are compared across the platforms. The study finds that electronic service quality significantly impacts consumer loyalty and satisfaction across all three platforms. In GoPay and OVO, it notably influences satisfaction, but less so in DANA. Customer satisfaction mediate loyalty in GoPay and OVO but not in DANA. Responsiveness is a key component of e-wallet service excellence. Loyalty is influenced by referrals (GoPay and OVO), regular use (DANA), and pricing (DANA), whereas customer satisfaction (GoPay), pricing (DANA), and convenience (OVO) determine contentment. Limiting the study to three variables and three e-wallets may restrict the comprehensiveness of factors affecting consumer satisfaction and loyalty, potentially limiting the generalizability of findings to other digital payment platforms or market contexts. The novelty lies in the direct comparison of investigative outcomes among these three subjects within the context of digital payment systems, selecting high-value study indicators and advancing the prior research.]]>

<![CDATA[The accounting profession faces a challenge known as the CPA shortage, marked by a decline in employed accountants. This study, guided by Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), investigates factors influencing individuals’ intentions to become Certified Public Accountants (CPAs). As industry leaders seek to attract the next generation, our research explores the interplay between personal perceptions and external influences, emphasizing attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. This study involves undergraduate accounting students from 16 state universities in Sumatra, employing a Likert scale questionnaire and descriptive and correlation analyses. The results show positive attitudes toward the accounting profession, with variations in salary expectations. Subjective norms, including family, professors, and peers, significantly influence interest in becoming a public accountant. Perceived behavioral control factors, such as professional experience and job security, receive positive evaluation. Therefore, this study provides insights for institutions and policymakers, laying the groundwork for targeted initiatives to ensure a thriving future for the accounting profession despite technological advancements and evolving perceptions.]]>

<![CDATA[Few MSME skincare and cosmetics brands focus on developing brand value to build their business. Among them is Daviena Skincare in Indonesia. This article examines Daviena's entrepreneurship-based brand development strategy using the Branderpreneurship Framing Analysis (BFA) methodology approach. BFA systematically traces and details the value development strategy according to the elements in BrandCoVD (Branderpreneurship's Circle of Values Development), namely identifying, creating, delivering, communicating, maintaining, evaluating, and renewing values. The analysis shows that as a startup that cannot afford influencers and celebrities like other skincare brands, Daviena Skincare utilizes social media with self-demo techniques by the owner and models to convince consumers of the unique advantages of its products. This communication technique provides a domino effect for consumer users to express their experiences through organic testimonials. This study can inspire other MSME and startup brands to develop their brand value with limited resources.]]>

<![CDATA[In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, the significance of digital transformation for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) cannot be overstated. CV Karya Makmur, an Indonesian automotive repair shop, stands at the forefront of this change, recognizing the urgent need to incorporate advanced Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into its operations. This transformation is not just about adopting new technologies; it is a comprehensive shift that redefines how the business interacts with customers, optimizes operational processes and improves its overall financial health. The journey of CV Karya Makmur highlights the broader implications of digital transformation in this sector. This case study delves into the multifaceted process of integrating technologies such as augmented reality (AR) and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance service efficiency, tackle logistical hurdles, and improve access to vital information. Yet, the transition from conventional practices to a digital framework is fraught with obstacles, primarily due to resistance to change. Effective change management, focusing on the human elements of organizational transformation and employee engagement, is pivotal. CV Karya Makmur's experience underscores the critical need for digital systems that promote data-driven decisions, standardize operations, and facilitate better communication. Despite the initial challenges, the potential benefits—increased productivity, reduced operational costs, and a competitive edge in the market—are compelling. This study suggests that considering an organization's unique context and objectives, a tailored digital transformation strategy is essential for leveraging technology to enhance business outcomes in developing countries like Indonesia.]]>
