Abstract

Using an analysis of the film “The Great Hack,” this paper aims to examine the economic transformation of society from the post-Fordist era to the information society. The film reveals how data and information have become key commodities in today's digital age, impacting various aspects of social and economic life. The film “The Great Hack” serves as the main case study in this research, which uses a qualitative approach. Content analysis and critical discourse analysis are the instruments used in this study. This method involves reading literature on relevant economic and social theories, as well as conducting a critical analysis of the film's content and message. This research uses the theoretical frameworks of post-Fordism, network society, cognitive capitalism, and information society to study the forms of economic change that have occurred. The results of the study show that the film “The Great Hack” adopts the principles of post-Fordism that have developed in the digital context, resulting in a network society, the concept of cognitive capitalism, and a network society where data is the main resource. In conclusion, the film shows how the principles of post-Fordism have developed in the digital context, resulting in a network society, the concept of cognitive capitalism, and a network society in which data is the primary resource. The practices of Cambridge Analytica demonstrate cognitive capitalism, which shows that economic value comes from knowledge and information.

Abstract

The management of hazardous and toxic waste (B3) presents a major challenge in environmental governance, particularly in industrial areas such as Dumai City. Although regulations such as Dumai City Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2017 have been established, the evaluation of the local government’s collaborative capability in B3 waste control remains suboptimal. This study formulates the research question: how can the collaborative capability of the local government be evaluated in the implementation of Collaborative Governance within the B3 control program in Dumai City? The theoretical framework applied is the Collaborative Capability Evaluation Theory, which consists of four key dimensions: relational, structural, resource, and adaptive capacities. This research employs a qualitative case study approach using interviews, observations, and documentation techniques. The findings indicate that the local government’s collaborative capability is at a moderate level. The main barriers lie in inter-actor trust, inter-agency coordination, and limited resources. Strengthening the four dimensions of collaborative capability is essential to achieving effective, participatory, and sustainable environmental governance in Dumai City.

Abstract

This study, entitled "A nalysis of Population Density, Economic Growth Rate, and the Number of Motorized Vehicles on Environmental Quality in Indonesia," aims to analyze: 1) the development of environmental quality in Indonesia; 2) the influence of population density, economic growth rate, and the number of motorized vehicles on environmental quality in Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative method, utilizing secondary data from 2019-2023, sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Ministry of Environment and Forestry (KLHK), and other sources. Panel data analysis tools, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing were used. Panel data regression results indicate that, partially, population density has a significant negative effect, economic growth rate has a negative and significant effect, while four-wheeled and two-wheeled motorized vehicles have a positive and significant effect on environmental quality in Indonesia. Meanwhile, collectively, population density, economic growth rate, and the number of motorized vehicles significantly influence environmental quality in Indonesia.

Abstract

Digital development has significantly influenced business practices, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), which are required to adapt to technological changes in order to remain competitive. However, many MSMEs still rely on conventional marketing methods and have limited understanding of digital marketing and digital financial management. This community service program aims to strengthen MSMEs’ competitiveness through the implementation of digital marketing strategies that support market expansion and improve business sustainability. The program was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach through a series of community service activities, including field observations, interviews, seminars, and mentoring sessions for MSME actors. The focus of the activities was to introduce and assist MSMEs in utilizing digital marketing platforms, particularly social media such as Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, as well as online marketplaces, to promote products more effectively. In addition, MSME participants were introduced to basic digital financial applications to support more structured and transparent financial recording. The results of the community service activities indicate positive changes among MSME participants, including increased awareness of the importance of digital marketing, improved product branding, broader market reach beyond local areas, and better financial management practices compared to previous manual recording methods. The adoption of digital marketing strategies enabled MSMEs to communicate product information more efficiently and build consumer trust through online presence. This community service program demonstrates that digital marketing assistance combined with practical mentoring can enhance MSMEs’ competitiveness and contribute to improving community economic welfare. Continuous support and consistency from MSME actors are essential to ensure the sustainability of digital transformation initiatives.

Abstract

This study addresses low student engagement and high levels of boredom in entrepreneurship courses that rely heavily on one-way PowerPoint-based lectures. Preliminary observations in-dicated that 80% of students experienced low motivation and difficulty generating innovative business ideas. The purpose of this research was to examine the effect of gamification on student learning motivation and business creativity.A quantitative approach was employed using a pre-experimental (One-Group Pretest–Posttest design). The sample consisted of 25 students selected through total sampling. Gamification elements, including: points, badges, and leaderboards, were integrated into the learning process to replace conventional lecture methods.The findings indicate that the implementation of gamification significantly trans-formed student learning behavior and classroom dynamics. Students shifted from passive disengagement, characterized by limited interaction and high distraction levels, to proactive participation. Verbal interactions increased substantially, moving beyond administrative ques-tions toward meaningful business discussions. Students demonstrated heightened engagement and responsiveness during learning activities. The gamified learning environment also fostered a safe space for creative experimentation, enabling students to take entrepreneurial risks without fear of academic or financial failure. Improvements were observed across key di-mensions of business creativity, including fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The study concludes that gamification is an effective pedagogical strategy for enhancing student motivation and business creativity in entrepreneurship education. By transforming learning from a passive knowledge-transfer model into an experiential and interactive process, gami-fication supports the development of an entrepreneurial mindset among digital native students.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of Online Travel Agent (OTA) distribution channels in influencing room sales volume and net profit for hotels in Java. Although OTAs have become a primary distribution choice that successfully boosts sales figures, there is still a lack of research highlighting the impact on net profitability due to high commission costs.Using a quantitative associative method through panel data regression analysis, this study examines the causal relationship between the proportion of sales made via OTAs and two performance indicators over a two-year period (2021–2023). The primary findings reveal a dual effect:OTA Distribution Channels have a positive and significant influence on Room Sales Volume (supporting Hypothesis H1).Conversely, OTAs have a significant negative impact on Hotel Profit Margins (supporting Hypothesis H2), indicating a substantial financial trade-off.The contribution of this research is to provide balanced empirical evidence regarding volume gains versus margin losses resulting from OTA usage. The managerial implications suggested by these findings are that hotels need to implement distribution strategies focused on Net Revenue Management and channel mix optimization to achieve a balance between volume requirements and profitability.

Abstract

The Indonesian hospitality industry is currently facing a post-pandemic "profitability paradox," a phenomenon where increased occupancy rates do not guarantee a proportional increase in net profit margins due to persistent operational cost inflation. This study aims to evaluate operational cost efficiency strategies and their impact on profitability across three star-rated hotels with contrasting locational and market characteristics: @Hom Hotel Kudus (Central Java), Grand Verona Samarinda (East Kalimantan), and FUGO Hotel Banjarmasin (South Kalimantan). This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach with a comparative multiple-case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with top management, participant observation, and financial document analysis. The results reveal that geographical characteristics and market segments are the primary determinants in selecting efficiency strategies. (1) Hom Hotel Kudus, located in a secondary industrial area, implements Lean Operations strategies through workforce multi-skilling to address market price sensitivity. (2) Grand Verona Samarinda, in the East Kalimantan business hub, focuses on Supply Chain Engineering by localizing raw materials to mitigate high logistical costs. (3) FUGO Hotel Banjarmasin, in the lifestyle segment, adopts Technology-Driven Efficiency to suppress utility costs without degrading the guest experience. The study concludes that sustainable profitability is achieved not through aggressive cost-cutting, but through strategic cost management adaptive to local contexts. These findings provide a new managerial framework for the hospitality industry to shift from a revenue-centric orientation to value optimization.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of memorable tourism experiences and operational risk management in tourist train transportation on positive Word of Mouth (WOM), with tourist satisfaction serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, and data were processed using SEM-PLS 4. The research sample consisted of 247 respondents who had used tourist train services within the past year. The results reveal that both effective risk management practices and memorable tourism experiences perceived by tourists significantly impact tourist satisfaction. Additionally, tourist satisfaction plays a crucial mediating role in generating positive WOM. The study highlights that memorable tourism experiences, including aspects such as comfort, scenic views, and the quality of service, significantly enhance tourist satisfaction. Furthermore, operational risk management, which includes ensuring passenger safety, maintaining service reliability, and handling emergencies effectively, is essential for cultivating satisfaction and positive WOM. The findings suggest that businesses in the tourism industry, particularly those operating tourist trains, should prioritize both risk management and creating memorable experiences to foster customer loyalty and enhance WOM. This study contributes to understanding the dynamic relationship between risk management, customer satisfaction, and WOM in the tourism sector, providing valuable insights for improving service strategies in tourist train transportation.
