Abstract

Global economic crises triggered by financial shocks, pandemics, and geopolitical instability demonstrate that national economies become highly vulnerable when their structural foundations are weak. This study aims to analyze the role of the real sector as a pillar of economic stability during crises using a narrative review approach of eleven relevant studies covering agriculture, MSMEs, the informal sector, real estate, and their linkage with the financial sector. The findings indicate that the real sector is relatively more resilient than other sectors because it sustains production activities, supports domestic consumption, and provides adaptive capacity through flexibility and business diversification. Meanwhile, the financial sector remains important but must operate within policy frameworks that strengthen real economic activities to avoid excessive volatility. These results emphasize that strengthening the real sector, ensuring synergy between fiscal and macroprudential policies, and providing inclusive financial support are essential strategies to build a robust and sustainable national economic resilience.

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the leading sectors of the Gresik Regency economy based on Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) data by business field for the period 20202024. The study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data sourced from the Gresik Regency and East Java Province Central Statistics Agency. The research instrument consists of GRDP data based on constant prices, which is analyzed using the Location Quotient (LQ) method, Dynamic Location Quotient (DLQ) method, and Growth Ratio Model (MRP). The LQ method is used to identify the base sector, DLQ to analyze changes in sectoral advantages dynamically, and MRP to assess sectoral and regional growth performance. The results of the study show that the Manufacturing and Mining and Quarrying sectors are the base sectors with comparative advantages in Gresik Regency. Dynamically, the Manufacturing sector shows more sustainable growth performance compared to other sectors. Meanwhile, some agricultural and service sectors still show relatively lower growth. These findings indicate that the economic structure of Gresik Regency is still concentrated in certain sectors and requires more balanced development policies to promote sustainable regional economic growth.

Abstract

Amid intense retail competition near Bandung City Hall, KPKB Mart faces challenges in digital promotion effectiveness despite high purchase intention among consumers. This study aims to analyze the influence of online promotional strategies and consumer behavior on purchase intention at KPKB Mart. A quantitative associative approach was employed with primary data from online questionnaires distributed to 95 consumers (convenience sampling from a 2000 population, September-November 2025). Data analysis included classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, correlation, coefficient of determination (R²), and hypothesis testing (t-test, F-test) using SPSS. Results reveal a regression equation MB = 40.356 + 0.613SPO + 0.286PK, with strong correlations (r_SPO-MB = 0.820, r_PK-MB = 0.410), simultaneous effect (F = 78.738, p < 0.001, R² = 0.631), and partial effects (t_SPO = -12.181, t_PK = 4.634, both p < 0.001). Online promotions and consumer behavior significantly influence purchase intention, explaining 63.1% of variance. In conclusion, enhancing targeted digital promotions and understanding consumer patterns can optimize KPKB Mart's market position.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of Manufacturing Information System (MIS) to improve operational efficiency, inventory control, and readiness at scale for Dasteran Bendino MSMEs. The qualitative descriptive research uses interviews, field observation, and literature review. The results show hybrid operations, manual transaction recording and flow, dependence on suppliers, and centralized administrative burdens; therefore, the addition of divisions (administration, warehousing, logistics, R&D) and the implementation of an integrated digital system (e.g., Notion), along with improvements in transaction flow, automated recording, and supplier diversification, are necessary. The recommended implementation is expected to enhance recording accuracy and the competitiveness of MSMEs in the e-commerce ecosystem.

Abstract

MSMEs play an important role in Indonesia's economy but face significant challenges in adapting to digital transformation. This study aims to analyze opportunities and formulate strategies to enhance the competitiveness of MSMEs in the digital economy era, using a case study of the “Ayam Kecap Pedas” (AKP) MSME in Magelang. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study strategy. Data collection techniques include observation, document analysis, and interviews. The results identify several key opportunities, such as broader market access through e-commerce, operational efficiency through digitalization, and government support programs. Based on these findings, strategies for enhancing competitiveness are formulated in four main aspects: (1) operational system digitalization through the implementation of POS systems and digital literacy training; (2) marketing digitalization through social media optimization, digital promotions, and expanding e-commerce partnerships; (3) improvement of internal management; and (4) service innovation. The implementation of these strategies is expected to strengthen the competitiveness of AKP MSME and serve as a reference model for similar culinary MSMEs in adapting to the digital era.
