Abstract

A successful enterprise in the contemporary economy requires appropriate skills and persons possessing an entrepreneurial mindset. The entrepreneurial mindset is crucial for achieving success in the company. The current degree of entrepreneurial mindsets within each group must be assessed by identifying the deficiencies that require modification to promote entrepreneurial success. This research examines successful entrepreneurs' inner mindset and characteristics and the variables contributing to their career achievements. The study's respondents consisted of four entrepreneurs from the Central Java region.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how behavioral intention to use the digital payment service DANA is influenced by perceived ease of use and how perceived usefulness functions as an intervening medium in this connection. The issue addressed is the poor acceptance rate of digital payment services, despite their excellent usability. A population survey of DANA users in Makassar is the methodology employed. Purposive sampling is the method utilized, and 150 respondents who have used DANA for at least six months were included in the sample. A questionnaire addressing the factors of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and behavioral intention was used to gather data. The results of the linear regression analysis show that perceived ease of use has a positive and significant effect on perceived usefulness, which in turn positively affects behavioral intention. These results imply that improving the DANA application's usability can raise users' opinions of its value and, in turn, their desire to keep using the service. In order to design better user-friendly features and promote wider adoption, app developers can benefit greatly from the insights this research offers.

Abstract

Research Aims: This study aims to determine the effect of community participation and the application of standard unit pricing on the quality of village financial reports in the Moutong District, both partially and simultaneously. Design/methodology/approach: This research uses a quantitative method with a descriptive quantitative approach. The primary data was collected through questionnaires distributed to village officials in the Moutong District. The study involved a sample size of 100 respondents, and the data was analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. Research Findings: The results show that (1) community participation has a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial reports, (2) the application of standard unit pricing has a positive and significant effect on the quality of financial reports, and (3) simultaneously, community participation and the application of standard unit pricing significantly affect the quality of financial reports. The determination coefficient is 43.1%, indicating that 43.1% of the variability in the quality of financial reports can be explained by community participation and the application of standard unit pricing. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the understanding of how community engagement and adherence to pricing standards impact the quality of financial reporting in village administrations, providing insights for improved governance and accountability in rural financial management (Book Antiqua 10pt). Research limitation and implication: The study is limited to village administrations in the Moutong District, and the findings may not be generalizable to other regions. Future research could explore additional factors influencing financial report quality or expand the geographic scope of the study. The results have implications for policymakers in enhancing community involvement and standard compliance to improve financial reporting practices.

Abstract

This research analyzes the handling of delays in stock of fertilizer raw materials at the Pupuk Gresik Company by applying the safety stock and reorder point methods. The main problem faced by the company is the lack of supply of raw materials due to short arrival times and seasonal demand, which has an impact on smooth production. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with observation methods, interviews with the President Director and Head of Operations, as well as analysis of historical data related to the use of raw materials, lead time and delivery delays. The research results show that companies still use manual recording in inventory management, which contributes to low accuracy in stock planning. By implementing the safety stock and reorder point methods, companies can determine the optimal amount of reserve inventory and more effective reorder points to achieve the desired service level (95%). The implementation of this method is expected to reduce the risk of delays in raw materials and increase operational efficiency at the Gresik fertilizer company.

Abstract

This study analyzes efforts to reduce the defect rate at a fertilizer factory in Gresik Regency, a company that produces agricultural fertilizers, by implementing the Six Sigma method. The main problem faced by the company is the high level of product defects caused by human factors, methods, machines, and materials, which have an impact on fertilizer quality and production efficiency. This study uses a qualitative approach with the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) method to identify the main causes of defects and formulate improvement strategies. Data were collected through direct observation, interviews with the production and quality control teams, and analysis of documentation related to the level of product defects. The results of the study indicate that the main factors causing defects include lack of operator skills, inconsistency of production procedures, disruption to machines, and instability of raw material quality. By implementing the Six Sigma DMAIC method, the company can reduce the defect rate by improving workforce skills, standardizing work procedures, optimizing machine maintenance, and strict supervision of raw material quality. The implementation of this method is expected to improve the quality of fertilizer products and production efficiency at fertilizer factories in Gresik Regency

Abstract

Electricity production costs in power plants are closely linked to electricity tariffs (selling prices). To fund power generation, both direct and indirect costs, including basic and overhead costs, are calculated as components of the Power Generation Supply Cost (BPP). Changes in BPP components impact overall costs, affecting total BPP. This study aims to compare and analyze cost differences among PLN power plants and identify which types of power plants show significant cost variations. Conducted at PT PLN (Persero) in 2023, the research uses an exploratory descriptive method with quantitative data from financial reports and time-series data. The study examines four BPP subcategories across 38 power plants, grouped into six categories. Multivariate analysis is applied using SPSS. Results show that power plant groups significantly influence inefficiencies in BPP. Specifically, BPP A has inconsistent cost variations, with high deviations in fixed asset depreciation, leased asset depreciation, and loan expenses. Certain power plants show inefficiencies affecting BPP. PLTGU and PLTD contribute the highest costs in BPP A and BPP D, respectively. Overall, PLTU is the most efficient group, significantly impacting BPP elasticity.
