Abstract

Economic policy uncertainty arising from fiscal, monetary, and regulatory fluctuations poses significant challenges to corporate financial decision-making. Financial managers are therefore required to maintain business stability and sustainability amid dynamic and unpredictable conditions. This study examined financial management strategies adopted by companies in response to economic policy uncertainty and analyzed their theoretical and practical implications. Using a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review, data were collected from scientific journals, academic books, and reports published by international financial institutions. The findings reveal that companies tend to implement conservative and flexible strategies, including increasing cash reserves, reducing leverage, diversifying business and operational activities, and utilizing financial derivatives for risk mitigation. Firms also tend to delay large-scale investments and rely more heavily on internal financing. These responses reflect corporate efforts to cope with heightened policy risk and support the relevance of trade-off theory, pecking order theory, and signaling theory in corporate financial decision-making under uncertainty. Overall, adaptive and risk-anticipative financial management strategies have become crucial for enhancing corporate resilience and flexibility. This study contributes both conceptually and practically to the development of stronger corporate financial policies in the face of global and domestic economic uncertainty

Abstract

The marine product sector in West Sumatra shows significant export potential but faces challenges in distribution efficiency and quality. Logistics partnerships and supply chain integration are key drivers for improving performance across industries. This study examines the relationship between logistics partnerships and supply chain integration and their effects on distribution performance of marine commodities in West Sumatra. Using a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), official secondary data from BPS West Sumatra, Pelindo Teluk Bayur, KKP, and national export statistics over four years were analyzed. The results indicate a significant positive effect of logistics partnerships on supply chain integration, which in turn significantly enhances distribution performance by reducing lead time and increasing export volume and value. The study concludes that optimizing marine product distribution in West Sumatra requires strengthening strategic logistics partnerships and deeper integration of processes among all stakeholders from capture and cultivation to export port.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the startup ecosystem necessitates the strategic management of human talent as a core asset for sustained business viability and competitive differentiation. Accordingly, this study investigates the role of Human Capital Management (HCM) practices in enhancing startup competitiveness within dynamic and resource-constrained markets. A quantitative approach was employed by integrating official secondary data across three levels—firm, talent market, and ecosystem context—with primary HCM data collected from Jakarta-based startups as Indonesia’s national digital economy hub. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the effects of key HCM variables, including training investment, equity-based compensation, and employee turnover, on performance indicators such as revenue growth and funding success. The findings reveal that higher investment in employee development and the provision of equity compensation have a positive and statistically significant impact on funding success and employee productivity. In contrast, elevated turnover rates exhibit a significant negative relationship with revenue growth, highlighting the critical importance of employee retention. Overall, the study concludes that strategic and adaptive HCM practices oriented toward long-term value creation are essential for startups operating in highly competitive ecosystems.

Abstract

This research investigates the structural relationship between Strategic Content Management and Competitive Advantage among SMEs in West Sumatra, specifically examining the mediating function of Digital Marketing Integration. Grounded in the Relational View Theory, the study utilizes official secondary data from BPS and KKP, analyzed via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to ensure robustness in handling non-normal distributions. The findings reveal that Strategic Content Management significantly impacts Digital Marketing Integration ( = .72; p < .001) and Competitive Advantage ( = .25; p = .002). Notably, Digital Marketing Integration is confirmed as a strong partial mediator with a Variance Accounted For (VAF) value of 75.3%. This empirical evidence underscores that the strategic value of internal content is effectively realized only through synchronized digital processes. This study advances the body of knowledge by clarifying the causal mechanisms that transform operational data into sustainable market dominance within the SME digital ecosystem.

Abstract

Primary Health Care (PHC) serves as the frontline of national health systems, making digital transformation essential for improving service quality, efficiency, and coverage. This study aims to assess the level of Information Technology (IT) adoption and evaluate supporting management practices at Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat (Puskesmas) in Indonesia. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using official secondary data obtained from government institutions, including the Ministry of Health, BPJS Kesehatan, and the Central Statistics Agency, with West Java Province designated as the study area. The analysis encompassed five dimensions: infrastructure availability, utilization of clinical information systems (SIMPUS/ASIK), IT human resource capacity, service performance indicators, and IT management maturity. The results indicate a high adoption rate of basic infrastructure such as internet access and computers; however, the utilization of core clinical systems, including ASIK and PCare, varies considerably across Puskesmas. Limited availability of dedicated IT personnel and insufficient IT management training for leadership were identified as key constraints. Overall, successful digital transformation in PHC depends not only on adequate infrastructure but also on strengthened management practices, particularly in human resource capacity, data governance, and effective use of clinical information systems to achieve improved service outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of an inclusive work environment on the job performance of employees with disabilities in formal companies in DKI Jakarta and West Java, Indonesia. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, the study analyzes key dimensions of inclusiveness—reasonable accommodation, inclusive organizational culture, and managerial and peer support—and their influence on performance. Data from 312 employees with disabilities working in companies with Disability Service Units or inclusive policies were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that the model significantly predicts job performance, explaining 21.8% of the variance. Inclusive organizational culture had the strongest positive effect, followed by managerial and peer support, while reasonable accommodation showed a smaller but still significant impact. These findings emphasize that fostering an inclusive organizational culture and providing psychosocial support are more critical for enhancing employee performance than focusing solely on physical accommodations. The study supports the Social Model of Disability by highlighting the importance of removing environmental and social barriers in the workplace. Accordingly, the study recommends strengthening inclusive organizational culture and leadership practices to achieve equitable employment outcomes for persons with disabilities.
