Abstract

This study aims to analyze the quality of service and the taste of food at Cafe Uni, a café that serves traditional regional dishes with authentic interior design and cultural atmosphere. The focus of the research is on how Cafe Uni maintains taste consistency despite the challenge of limited availability of spices, as well as how its service strategies create customer satisfaction and loyalty. This approach is relevant given that culture-based culinary businesses have great potential to attract market interest while preserving tradition. The research employed a qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews with the owner and staff of Cafe Uni, as well as direct on-site observations. Data analysis was conducted using a descriptive qualitative method, linking field findings to relevant theories such as the SERVQUAL model for service quality, the expectancy-disconfirmation model for customer satisfaction, and the concept of experiential marketing for dining experiences. The findings reveal that Cafe Uni successfully preserves authentic flavors by sourcing spices directly from their regions of origin, either through staff traveling home or via cargo shipments. The quality of ingredients is maintained through proper temperature-controlled storage to preserve their color and texture. Friendly, smiling, and interactive service creates a welcoming atmosphere for customers, even for those dining alone. The integration of authentic taste, quality service, and cultural ambiance significantly enhances customer satisfaction and fosters repeat visits. This study provides practical insights for regional culinary business owners in managing unique dining experiences to remain competitive in the market.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the production and marketing aspects as key indicators of business feasibility for tofu and tempeh MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) in Teja Village, Pamekasan Regency, Indonesia. The business involves traditional soybean processing into high-value food products while maintaining a strong market orientation. Based on field observation and interviews, the enterprise operates four times a week, producing approximately 30 kg of tofu and 30 kg of tempeh per day. With an initial capital of less than IDR 50 million, it qualifies as a micro-enterprise. This study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizing SWOT analysis and a basic feasibility analysis based on production efficiency, market potential, and direct marketing strategies. The findings reveal that the business is feasible and promising for further development, especially due to stable local demand and low per-unit production costs. These insights offer valuable contributions to MSME development strategies that leverage local potential and operational efficiency. The study recommends adopting digital marketing innovations and modernizing equipment to enhance competitiveness and expand market reach.

Abstract

This study explores the Trust Paradox phenomenon among Tokopedia users, a condition where consumers still intend to buy even though their level of trust in the platform is low. Using a quantitative approach and PLS-SEM analysis of 154 respondents, it was found that Perceived Value, User Experience, and Trust Paradox have a significant effect on Purchase Intention. In contrast, Trust and Perceived Risk do not show a significant direct effect. Exploratory analysis identifies user segments with high purchase intentions despite having low trust, strengthening the existence of the Trust Paradox in digital consumer behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the evolution of intellectual capital in public organization knowledge management globally, focusing on the period 2000–2025, to identify current trends, challenges, and best practices. This study uses a systematic literature review (SLR) method based on the PRISMA protocol, analyzing 10 articles indexed in Scopus and Web of Science. The research findings reveal three main findings. First, human capital in public organizations has undergone digital transformation, where technology-based competencies such as data analytics and AI have become critical, although skill gaps remain a challenge, particularly in developing countries. Second, structural capital is rapidly developing through the adoption of cloud-based knowledge management systems, blockchain, and collaborative platforms, but is hindered by rigid bureaucracy and infrastructure limitations in some regions. Third, relational capital is strengthened by social media and digital public participation mechanisms, although it is vulnerable to misinformation. This study also identifies the emergence of the concept of “green intellectual capital,” which integrates sustainability principles into the three dimensions of intellectual capital. Theoretically, these findings enrich the discourse on intellectual capital by integrating the perspectives of the Knowledge-Based View, Institutional Theory, and Complexity Theory. Practically, this study recommends accelerating digital training for public human resources, standardizing the interoperability of knowledge systems, and strengthening technology-based multisectoral collaboration. Policy implications include the need for a regulatory framework that supports intellectual capital innovation while addressing the challenges of the digital divide and knowledge governance.

Abstract

This study aims to assess and map business opportunities in rural areas of several states in Nigeria's South-South zone, focusing on agribusiness, non-farm enterprises, cooperatives, information and communication technology, and formal and informal financial systems. The main objective of the study was to identify factors that support and constrain rural enterprise growth, and to provide contextualized policy recommendations for sustainable economic empowerment. The research method used a mixed approach with a combination of quantitative surveys, in-depth interviews, and field observations in rural communities in Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, and Edo states. Data were analyzed using descriptive methods, SWOT analysis, and the theoretical frameworks of rural development, entrepreneurial ecosystems, and small towns theory. The results showed that the agribusiness sector, particularly cassava production, oil palm, and fisheries, has great potential but is constrained by market access, capital, and processing facilities. Non-farm businesses are growing as a diversification strategy, with women playing a significant role in petty trade and services. Cooperatives and informal financial systems such as Esusu are the main support for business capital, while access to formal banks remains limited. The potential for digitization through social media and digital banking services is emerging, although hampered by limited infrastructure and literacy. SWOT analysis confirmed that natural resources and local social networks are key strengths, while weak infrastructure and economic uncertainty are threats. Overall, this research emphasizes the need for an integrative approach that links local resources with institutional support and inclusive development policies to foster sustainable rural entrepreneurship in South-South Nigeria.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing internal auditing mechanisms to prevent and detect fund embezzlement within the Nigerian banking sector. The primary objective is to evaluate how AI-driven audit systems contribute to mitigating fraud risks while addressing the organizational and human factors that shape their effectiveness. A qualitative research design was employed, combining semi-structured interviews with internal auditors from selected Nigerian banks and direct observations of AI-enabled audit systems. Data were analyzed thematically using coding techniques, and the findings were interpreted through the lenses of Fraud Triangle Theory, Agency Theory, and Technology Adoption frameworks. Results reveal that AI strengthens audit effectiveness by improving anomaly detection and reinforcing internal controls, thereby narrowing opportunities for fraud. However, the study highlights that pressures and rationalizations driving fraudulent behaviors remain persistent challenges beyond the scope of technology. Additionally, the adoption and effectiveness of AI are influenced by organizational readiness, auditor competence, and cultural attitudes within the banking sector. This research contributes both theoretically and practically by integrating multiple perspectives to explain fraud dynamics in developing economies, emphasizing that technology alone cannot eliminate embezzlement risks without complementary regulatory, cultural, and human resource interventions.
