Abstract

The critical role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in driving economic growth and fostering social stability is well-recognized globally. These enterprises are the backbone of economies, contributing significantly to employment creation, innovation, and equitable income distribution. However, despite their potential, MSMEs face persistent challenges that hinder their growth and sustainability, with access to capital and loan-related anxieties standing out as primary barriers. This study aims to identify the factors that cause anxiety of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME) about capital loans and develop strategies to mitigate capital shortages to encourage the progress of MSMEs. This research employed a qualitative approach involving in-depth interviews with ten microenterprise actors engaged in beverage sales in Pangkajenne City. The participants were selected based on specific criteria: they had been operating for a minimum of one year, offered a diverse range of beverage products, and reported experiencing anxiety related to the need for capital. Research has found that loan-related anxiety is mainly caused by uncertainty of returns, ignorance of loan terms, and social stigma related to default. On the other hand, mitigation strategies such as financial literacy training, simplification of the loan application process, and access to flexible microfinance schemes have proven effective in reducing the concerns of MSME actors. This study was limited to a sample of MSMEs in specific regions and did not cover all business sectors. In addition, this study must discuss in depth the influence of macroeconomic factors on MSME capital access. This research provides valuable insights into the relationship between loan anxiety and capital shortages and offers relevant mitigation strategies. The results of this study enrich the literature on MSME financial management, especially in the context of developing countries. This study combines the perspectives of MSME actors and financial service providers to understand the dynamics of loan-related anxiety, which has been previously underexplored in the literature.

Abstract

This conceptual study employs a Critical Realist approach with context-mechanism-outcome (CMO) logic to examine how boundary objects facilitate design-led innovation through dynamic capability development. It is conceptually framed by boundary object theory and dynamic capability theory. This study develops a conceptual framework linking different types of boundary objects to key dynamic capabilities (sensing, seizing, reconfiguring) and posits that these shared artefacts and processes act as generative mechanisms driving innovation outcomes across diverse contexts. This CMO-based perspective provides a nuanced explanation of how specific contexts activate these mechanisms to shape innovation results. The primary contribution of this study is a set of theoretical propositions delineating how various boundary objects serve as generative mechanisms in design-led innovation. This bridges boundary object theory with dynamic capability theory and enriches our understanding of cross-boundary knowledge integration and organizational adaptability.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of green technology adoption (GTA) on sustainability initiatives, focusing on energy management, water conservation, and waste management within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in South Africa. The study explores the mediating role of knowledge sharing in enhancing the adoption of green technologies and the moderating effect of regulatory support. A quantitative research design was employed, with a survey administered to 450 participants from SMEs across South Africa. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS, a structural equation modeling tool, to assess the relationships among GTA, sustainability practices, knowledge sharing, and regulatory support. The results indicate that knowledge sharing significantly mediates the relationship between GTA and sustainability initiatives, particularly in the areas of energy management, water conservation, and waste management. Additionally, regulatory support moderated the effect of knowledge sharing on green technology adoption, strengthening the adoption process and amplifying sustainability outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of fostering knowledge-sharing practices within SMEs and the critical role of supportive regulatory frameworks in promoting green technologies. This study contributes to the understanding of how SMEs in South Africa can leverage internal collaboration and external policies to enhance sustainability initiatives, offering valuable insights for policymakers, business leaders, and researchers focused on sustainable development in resource-constrained environments.

Abstract

Ethnic dishes play a crucial role in defining and preserving cultural identity. Upon the migration of Muslim ethnic groups to urbanized areas, their everyday life, cultural practices, and food intake behavior may be heavily influenced by the new environment. This led the researchers to investigate the transmission of food knowledge about ethnic dishes among Muslim-migrated ethnic groups. Most studies on the transmission of food knowledge have focused on Malay, Ainu, and other indigenous groups in other countries. This research addresses the lack of empirical studies on the food knowledge transmission of Muslim-migrated ethnic groups. Moreover, migration to a non-Muslim region changes the setting of passing on ethnic food knowledge from one generation to the next. This qualitative research employed the philosophical paradigm of interpretivism to investigate the transmission of ethnic food knowledge among Muslim migrant families. Using a semi-structured interview, the participants consisted of four sets of parent-child pairs selected through purposive sampling. Participants described the type of knowledge transmitted, strategies for transmitting ethnic food knowledge from parents to children, and adjustments made to ingredients due to limited access to raw materials. Findings explain further the translocalism framework, which initially focused only on migration networks, remittances, geography, and social resilience. This research demonstrates how Muslim migrants sustain their ethnic food knowledge traditions and transmission, further adding cultural remittance to the framework, despite moving to other regions in the Philippines.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Systems Thinking (ST) and Entrepreneurial Thinking (ET) as complementary cognitive frameworks to develop a comprehensive approach to effective corporate turnaround management. Traditional turnaround strategies often emphasize linear processes, such as retrenchment and restructuring, while overlooking corporate decline and recovery's cognitive dimensions and dynamic nature. By synthesizing insights from various theoretical perspectives—including Resource-Based Theory, Stage Theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Theory, and Political Behavior—this research proposes a cyclical model that recognizes four interconnected stages: Cognitive, Behavioral, Turnaround Outcome, and Learning. This model highlights how managerial cognition shapes strategic choices and implementation effectiveness throughout the turnaround process. Unlike conventional approaches, the framework of this study incorporates cognitive adaptation, feedback loops, and resilience-building elements to enhance organizational recovery and long-term sustainability. The study culminates in developing an Integrated Turnaround Strategy Canvas. This practical tool enables decision-makers to apply cognitive skills in assessing corporate decline, implementing practical recovery actions, and building adaptive capabilities. This research contributes to the turnaround literature by highlighting the importance of cognitive flexibility, holistic thinking, entrepreneurial innovation, and political engagement in navigating organizational crises, moving beyond cost-cutting measures to foster strategic agility and sustainable competitive advantage in volatile business environments.

Abstract

Fintech lending has emerged as a transformative tool for expanding financial inclusion and reducing poverty. This study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) of 39 articles published between 2010 and 2023, using Scopus as the primary database, to evaluate the impact of fintech lending on poverty alleviation across different socio-economic contexts. The findings reveal that fintech lending enhances financial accessibility through mobile money, digital microfinance, and alternative credit-scoring mechanisms, particularly benefiting underserved populations. However, challenges such as the digital divide, financial literacy gaps, and risks of over-indebtedness persist. Islamic finance models, including digital zakat and Shariah-compliant microfinance, have shown the potential to support poverty alleviation in Muslim-majority regions. Effective fintech implementation depends on adaptive regulatory frameworks, consumer protection measures and integration with traditional financial institutions. This study contributes to the literature by synthesizing global insights on fintech’s role in poverty alleviation and identifying key success factors for sustainable financial inclusion. Policymakers and practitioners can leverage these findings to develop inclusive fintech ecosystems that mitigate risks while maximizing social and economic impact. Future research should explore the long-term effects of fintech lending and its role in environmental sustainability and regulatory advancements.

Abstract

The current commercialization business model in universities emphasizes the role of the Technology Transfer Office (TTO) with its main activities in licensing and incubators with university spin-off incubation activities. Few studies have highlighted a business model in the form of a university profit-oriented company that focuses specifically on accommodating technology commercialization activities, especially in the Indonesian context. This study constructed technology commercialization business models from PT Rekacipta Inovasi, Institut Teknologi Bandung (PT RII). We conducted interviews with eight informants who are company’s management and staff, university’s management, and technology inventors. Using abductive approach, we found that business models for university technology commercialization are not only includes licensing practices and establishment of spin-off companies that focus on the Business to Business (B to B) market, but also joint venture and joint operation practices and direct selling with the Business to Costumer (B to C) market. Through this business model, universities can direct the commercialization practice of research results towards business practices that can generate revenue. This research provided a novel commercialization model for developing countries context which can be a reference for universities in carrying out their technology commercialization activities.

Abstract

Stunting, which affects around 22% of children under five worldwide, is a serious public health issue that threatens the future of generations. Traditionally linked to poor nutrition, recent research shows that immune system imbalances and chronic inflammation also play a significant role in stunting, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This review examines how immune dysfunction and inflammation impact growth from pregnancy through early childhood, highlighting the importance of immune-related pathways in growth. Key findings reveal the significant influence of maternal immune health, neonatal immune activation, and recurrent infections on stunting. The review advocates for a shift in stunting prevention strategies, suggesting that integrating immune-targeted interventions with traditional nutritional approaches can more effectively address this issue. Policy recommendations include early health screenings to monitor inflammation and immune status, maternal supplementation with essential nutrients such as vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids, and enhancing vaccination and breastfeeding practices. These strategies align with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, particularly those focused on hunger and health. By combining nutrition and immune system interventions, we can reduce stunting and ensure healthier futures for children globally.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of exports and imports on inflation in Indonesia. The analysis considers macroeconomic variables such as money supply, interest rates, exchange rates, and foreign exchange reserves during 2014-2023. Studying inflation in Indonesia is crucial because it affects economic stability, purchasing power, and policy effectiveness. The Error Correction Model (ECM) is used, which allows for the analysis of long-term and short-term dynamics. The unit root test for stationery and Johansen’s co-integration tests were carried out to examine long-term relationships. The multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity tests are applied to the Best Linear Unbiased Estimators (BLUE) assumption. The estimation results indicate that exports significantly affect inflation, whereas imports do not. Foreign exchange reserves have a negative and significant impact, whereas the amount of money in circulation is insignificant. This emphasizes the importance of adaptive monetary policy, a more competitive export strategy, and more flexible management of foreign exchange reserves to maintain inflation stability in Indonesia. Bank Indonesia must consider the persistence of inflation when determining its interest rate policy and controlling liquidity so that its impact on the economy can be more controlled.

Abstract

Researchers have studied economic integration since the late 20th century as global markets become interconnected. ASEAN, China, and India are critical political, economic, and infrastructural players, with a growing middle class of over 3.50 billion projected to rise as the fourth-largest economy by 2030. This study examines trade policies, GDP, FDI, proximity, and regional agreements to assess trade flows and economic integration. This study uses a gravity model with panel data regression (1999-2023) to examine regional trade flows. The gravity model estimates the impact of economic size and distance on trade volumes, whereas panel data regression evaluates the relationship between trade policies and economic integration. Data include trade statistics from secondary sources. The finding reveals that economic integration improves trade volume through aligned policies and economic interdependencies. The gravity model highlights that economic size and proximity sustain trade flows, whereas FDI shows a positive correlation, indicating the potential for more profound integration; the trade potential model examines how trade policies and economic size affect intra-regional commerce, a topic rarely studied in the literature. This study calculates trade potential, offering insights for policymakers to improve trade efficiency. Unlike past research that has isolated ASEAN, China, and India, this study provides a comprehensive regional perspective. However, these limitations exclude exchange rates, technology, language, tariffs, and post-2023 applicability.
