Abstract

ABSTRACT Purpose: The main focus of this study is to understand research trends, identify key academic actors, and explore the impact of the circular economy in various dimensions of development. In this way, it is hoped that this study will not only contribute to the development of knowledge but also serve as a reference for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in developing strategies for the transition to a circular economy in developing countries. Design/methodology/approach: This This study uses a bibliometric approach to identify and map publication trends in circular economy research in developing countries. With this approach, researchers can identify the extent to which the circular economy has become a focus of research, as well as the topics that dominate scientific debate. The bibliographic data collection process involved several stages. The first stage involved entering the terms “circular AND economic AND in AND developing AND country” in the article title field of the Scopus database for the period 2017-2025 with the document type “Article,” which yielded 364 documents. Then, the language was limited to English, resulting in a dataset of 358 articles. To ensure the relevance and accuracy of these articles, a recheck was performed using Microsoft Excel to review the titles, followed by a review of the abstracts for content suitability, with a final result of 168 articles that met all the specified criteria. Findings: The review indicates that growing global attention to the topic. The dominant themes focus on waste management, recycling, and sustainable development, while research trends are gradually shifting toward more empirical, policy-oriented, and interdisciplinary studies. However, gaps remain in integrating renewable energy, social aspects, and circular business models, and scholarly contributions are still concentrated in a limited number of countries, highlighting the need for broader participation and more collaborative, policy-driven research in developing economies Research limitations/implications: This study is limited to the selected database and publication period, which may limit the generalization of the findings. Future research should expand the data sources, apply empirical approaches, and integrate less explored aspects such as renewable energy, social dimensions, and circular business models to strengthen circular economy studies in developing countries. Practical implications: These findings provide insights for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners in identifying key trends and research gaps in circular economy studies. These results can support the development of more effective policies, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, and guide the implementation of circular economy practices to promote sustainable development in developing countries. Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature by presenting a structured thematic mapping of circular economy research and by identifying emerging themes and potential gaps for future research.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how consumption patterns and hanging-out culture shape students’ purchasing decisions in Surabaya, addressing the limited attention to the socio-symbolic dimensions of student consumption in urban Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative phenomenological approach was employed to capture students’ lived experiences. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with eight university students selected using purposive sampling and analysed using thematic analysis to identify recurring meaning structures. Findings: The findings suggest that purchasing decisions are not primarily driven by economic rationality, but by the interaction of habitus, social context, and symbolic value. Two fluid consumption orientations emerge: social-oriented consumption and experiential consumption. The findings also indicate that students shift dynamically between these orientations depending on situational contexts, indicating that consumption behaviour is not fixed but relational and adaptive. Research limitations/implications: The study is limited by its qualitative scope and small sample size. Future research should incorporate mixed methods to examine the relationship between symbolic consumption and spending patterns quantitatively. Practical implications: The findings suggest that coffee shop strategies should move beyond price competition and focus on creating socially and symbolically meaningful experiences for student consumers. Originality/value: This study provides empirical insights into how Bourdieu’s concept of habitus operates in a fluid and situational manner within student consumption practices.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how cybersecurity resilience can be strengthened by integrating technological capabilities and human factors. Specifically, it explores the role of cybersecurity technology and digital security awareness in enhancing cybersecurity risk management, using a combined perspective of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Resource-Based View (RBV). Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative approach was employed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from digital companies operating in Denpasar to test the proposed relationships and moderating effects. Findings: The results indicate that cybersecurity technology significantly improves cybersecurity risk management. In addition, digital security awareness strengthens this relationship, suggesting that higher awareness enhances the effectiveness of technological tools. Research limitations/implications: The study is limited by its focus on a single geographic area and a cross-sectional design, which may limit broader applicability. Future research is encouraged to involve multiple regions and longitudinal data. Practical implications: Organizations should not rely solely on technological investments but also prioritize improving employees’ digital security awareness to achieve stronger cybersecurity resilience. Originality/value: This study contributes by integrating TAM and RBV to highlight the interaction between technological and human capabilities in cybersecurity risk management.

Abstract

The transition to sustainable development is a crucial agenda for Indonesia in achieving its 2045 Golden Indonesia Vision. The government has developed a series of composite indices to measure progress and identify challenges. This paper presents a systematic literature review of four major sustainability indices in Indonesia: the Green Economy Index (GEI), the Indonesian Blue Economy Index (IBEI), the Environmental Quality Index (EQI), and the Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI). Using a literature review method that synthesizes government reports, official publications, and academic journals, this study analyzes each index's conceptual framework, methodology, and key findings. The results of the analysis reveal a complex and sometimes contradictory narrative. On the one hand, the GEI shows a trend of progress driven by improvements in the socio-economic pillar. On the other hand, the environmental pillar is consistently the weakest, and the EQI shows volatility in marine water quality (MWQ), indicating a gap between blue economy ambitions and the reality of ecosystem health. Furthermore, the IBEI has a relatively low initial national score (43.98). Meanwhile, the RCI highlights sharp regional competitiveness gaps, which have the potential to become structural barriers to the implementation of inclusive sustainable development at the national level.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines Indonesia’s transition toward sustainable development in achieving the 2045 Golden Indonesia Vision by analyzing the performance and challenges reflected in four major sustainability indices: the Green Economy Index (GEI), Indonesian Blue Economy Index (IBEI), Environmental Quality Index (EQI), and Regional Competitiveness Index (RCI). It aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how these indices collectively portray sustainability progress and reveal structural gaps. Design/methodology/approach:This study employs a systematic literature review approach by synthesizing data from government reports, official publications, and academic journals. Each index is analyzed based on its conceptual framework, measurement methodology, and key findings to identify patterns, inconsistencies, and policy implications. Findings: The findings reveal a complex and sometimes contradictory picture of sustainable development in Indonesia. The GEI indicates progress mainly driven by improvements in the socio-economic dimension, while the environmental dimension remains relatively weak. The EQI demonstrates fluctuations, particularly in Marine Water Quality (MWQ), highlighting a gap between blue economy ambitions and environmental realities. The IBEI records a relatively low national score (43.98), suggesting that Indonesia’s blue economy development is still at an early stage. Furthermore, the RCI reveals significant regional disparities in competitiveness, which may hinder inclusive and balanced sustainable development. Research limitations/ implications: This study is limited to secondary data and literature-based analysis. Future research is recommended to incorporate empirical and quantitative approaches to validate the findings and explore interrelationships among indices as well as regional dynamics. Practical implications: The results highlight the need for more integrated and balanced policy strategies, particularly in strengthening environmental performance, aligning blue economy initiatives with ecological sustainability, and reducing regional disparities. Policymakers should enhance cross-sectoral coordination to achieve inclusive and sustainable national development. Originality/value: This study provides a comprehensive synthesis of Indonesia’s key sustainability indices, offering a holistic perspective that highlights inconsistencies and structural challenges often overlooked in single-index analyses.
