Abstract

The advancements in information and communication technology, particularly social media, have globally reshaped the business landscape. SMEs are expected to leverage these technologies to expand their markets, enhance operational efficiency, and strengthen customer relationships. This research aims to identify the critical role of industry-academia partnerships in supporting the transformation of social media and information technology in SMEs. The study employs a qualitative approach with a literature review method. Data for this research are sourced from scholarly articles indexed by Google Scholar from 2013 to 2024. The findings indicate that the transformation brought by social media and information technology has profoundly changed how SMEs operate. Through the adoption of social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram, as well as e-commerce technologies, SMEs can extend their market reach, reinforce brand identity, and enhance direct interaction with potential customers at minimal costs.

Abstract

This study explores the sustainable ecotourism development strategies for Mina-Minanga Beach in North Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi. Utilizing SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and ANP (Analytic Network Process) analyses, the research identifies key factors influencing ecotourism management and prioritizes strategic actions to enhance sustainability. The findings highlight the beach's stunning natural landscapes, including coral reefs and mangrove forests, and the strong community support for ecotourism as significant strengths. However, challenges such as poor waste management, limited infrastructure, and insufficient local tourism management knowledge must be addressed. Opportunities lie in the beach's strategic location and the growing global interest in ecotourism, which can be leveraged to develop unique cultural, educational, and adventure tourism products. Key strategies recommended include activating beach cleanliness programs, implementing sustainable conservation practices, and building disaster-resilient infrastructure. Additionally, ongoing training and education for local communities are crucial to ensure their active participation and capacity to manage tourism effectively. This research contributes to a comprehensive framework for developing sustainable ecotourism at Mina-Minanga Beach, aiming to balance environmental conservation with economic growth and community empowerment. The insights gained can inform policy-making and strategic planning, positioning North Buton Regency as a leading ecotourism destination in Indonesia while preserving its rich natural_and_cultural_heritage

Abstract

This research examines the impact of Social Media Marketing on preserving local wisdom on Lombok Island. By employing quantitative methods and multiple linear regression, the study evaluated five independent variables: social media marketing content (X1), user interaction on social media (X2), paid advertising on social media (X3), entertainment and trends on social media (X4), and Electronic Word-of-Mouth (e-WOM) (X5), on the preservation of local traditions and culture (Y). Data from 108 randomly selected participants revealed that user interaction on social media (X2) exerted the most significant influence on the preservation of local traditions and culture, with a coefficient of 0.532 and a t-value of 5.108, significant at p < 0.001. The other variables—content marketing, paid advertising, entertainment, and e-WOM—did not exhibit significant effects. These results indicate that marketing strategies emphasizing active user engagement on social media are more effective in promoting the preservation of local wisdom. Consequently, it is advised that programs aimed at preserving local traditions and culture should prioritize enhancing user interaction on social media, complemented by a holistic approach integrating diverse marketing and community engagement techniques.
