Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore how the adoption of green economy principles encourages sustainable innovation from a managerial perspective in addressing environmental challenges. Specifically, the study investigates how managers formulate strategies, allocate organizational resources, and implement environmentally responsible business practices to achieve sustainability while maintaining organizational competitiveness. The research also seeks to identify the opportunities and barriers encountered during the implementation of green economy initiatives and to understand how managerial decision-making contributes to long-term environmental and business performance. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs a qualitative research design using a multiple case study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with managers and business owners who have implemented green economy practices in their organizations, supported by direct observations and document analysis. The participants were selected using purposive sampling based on their experience in sustainable business management. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, involving data coding, categorization, and theme development to identify managerial strategies, implementation processes, challenges, and best practices related to sustainable innovation. Triangulation of data sources and member checking were conducted to enhance the credibility and trustworthiness of the findings. Findings: The findings indicate that managerial commitment is a critical driver of sustainable innovation within the framework of the green economy. Organizations that integrate environmental considerations into strategic decision-making demonstrate greater innovation in product development, resource efficiency, waste reduction, and environmentally friendly operational processes. The study also reveals that organizational culture, stakeholder collaboration, and leadership support significantly influence the successful implementation of green economy practices. However, several challenges remain, including limited financial resources, inadequate technological capabilities, regulatory uncertainty, and low environmental awareness among some stakeholders. Despite these obstacles, organizations adopting green economy strategies experience improved operational efficiency, stronger competitive advantage, enhanced corporate reputation, and increased long-term sustainability. These findings highlight the importance of managerial capability in transforming environmental challenges into opportunities for sustainable business innovation. Research limitations/implications: This study is limited by its qualitative design and relatively small number of case organizations, which may restrict the generalizability of the findings to other industrial sectors or geographical contexts. The research focuses primarily on managerial perspectives, while the views of employees, customers, policymakers, and other stakeholders are not comprehensively explored. Future studies are encouraged to employ mixed-method or quantitative approaches involving larger samples across different industries and countries to validate and extend the proposed managerial framework. Additionally, longitudinal research could provide deeper insights into the long-term impact of green economy practices on organizational sustainability and innovation performance. Originality/value: This study contributes to the growing body of literature on sustainable innovation by integrating green economy principles with managerial decision-making in addressing environmental challenges. Unlike previous studies that predominantly examine technological or policy aspects of the green economy, this research emphasizes the strategic role of managers in fostering sustainable innovation within organizations. The findings provide both theoretical and practical insights into how managerial capabilities, leadership commitment, and organizational strategies facilitate environmental sustainability while enhancing business competitiveness. The study also offers a conceptual reference for managers and policymakers seeking to promote sustainable business transformation through green economy practices.

Abstract

Purpose: Set Theory is a fundamental yet abstract topic in Discrete Mathematics that often challenges students in connecting mathematical concepts with real-world applications. This study proposes an AI-Assisted Case-to-Project Learning approach that transforms Set Theory learning into marketplace application development while fostering interdisciplinary and digital competencies. Design/methodology/approach: A convergent mixed-methods design was employed involving 50 undergraduate vocational students organised into ten project teams. Students first analysed Set Theory through the Shopee marketplace, then investigated different domestic and international marketplaces before developing simplified marketplace applications using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Generative AI. The project integrated Programming, Database Systems, Computer Architecture, and Marketing, with Set Theory serving as the conceptual foundation. Data were collected through competency-based assessment rubrics, project documentation, and application analysis. Findings: All project teams successfully developed functional marketplace applications featuring product catalogues, seller and buyer interactions, digital payment options, and delivery services. The findings demonstrate that students effectively translated abstract Set Theory concepts into authentic digital solutions while Generative AI supported mathematical modelling, programming, debugging, and iterative problem solving. Research limitations/implications: The study was conducted in a single vocational higher education institution, limiting the generalisability of the findings. Practical implications: The proposed approach provides an authentic instructional framework that connects mathematical reasoning with interdisciplinary software development and computational thinking. Originality/value: This study introduces an AI-Assisted Case-to-Project Learning approach that positions Set Theory as the conceptual backbone of marketplace application development, enabling students to integrate mathematical reasoning, Generative AI, and interdisciplinary knowledge in solving authentic problems.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyses the partial and simultaneous influence of promotion, service quality, and brand image on the purchase decision of subsidized home ownership loans (Kredit Pemilikan Rumah/KPR) among the community of Central Java, Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative explanatory design was employed. Primary data were collected online from 101 respondents residing in Central Java who had applied for, or already held, a subsidized KPR, selected through non-probability purposive sampling. Data were analysed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics 26, preceded by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. Findings: Promotion (t = 3.859; Sig. = 0.000), service quality (t = 4.078; Sig. = 0.000), and brand image (t = 2.068; Sig. = 0.041) each have a significant positive effect on purchase decisions, with service quality being the most dominant predictor. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence purchase decisions (F = 83.048; Sig. = 0.000), explaining 71.1% of the variance (Adjusted R² = 0.711). Research limitations/implications: The sample of 101 respondents, drawn through non-probability purposive sampling from cross-sectional data, limits the generalisability of the findings to the wider population of Central Java. Practical implications: The findings offer guidance for subsidized-mortgage distributor banks and housing-finance institutions in Central Java on strengthening promotional strategy, service quality, and brand image to broaden the reach of subsidized housing programmes. Originality/value: This study provides new empirical evidence on the determinants of subsidized KPR purchase decisions specifically in Central Java, a province with a high yet unevenly distributed realisation of subsidized housing loans, thereby addressing a research gap left by inconsistent prior findings.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to explore how local culture contributes to the subjective well-being of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSME) actors in East Java, Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach: This study employs a qualitative case study approach to explore the experiences and perceptions of MSME actors regarding the relationship between local cultural values and subjective well-being. Data are intended to be collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation involving MSME owners and workers in selected areas of East Java. Data analysis follows an interactive qualitative analysis process involving data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. Findings: The study is designed to examine several dimensions of local culture that may contribute to subjective well-being, including social relationships, mutual cooperation, local values, community support, cultural identity, and meaning derived from economic activities. The empirical findings should be finalized bsed on the actual interview and observation data collected from MSME actors. Research limitations/implications: The study focuses on MSME actors in East Java and therefore requires careful consideration when transferring the findings to other regions or economic groups. Future research may employ comparative studies across regions or integrate quantitative measures of subjective well-being. implications: The study is expected to provide insights for MSME development programs by demonstrating the importance of incorporating local cultural values, social relationships, and community-based approaches into economic empowerment policies. Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature by positioning local culture as an important contextual factor in understanding subjective well-being among MSME actors. Rather than viewing MSME welfare solely from an economic perspective, the study emphasizes the subjective and culturally embedded dimensions of well-being. Paper type: Qualitative Case Study
