This study focuses on the appraisal of firms’ performance and on its representation and reporting. Using interviews and inquiries in firms operating in the cement industry in Vietnam, two points are investigated. First, whether firms’ top executives consider that firms’ sustainable performance may include economic, social or environmental performance that is not integrated in financial statements. The theoretical framework is the stakeholder theory complemented with the institutional theory. Second, whether economic, social and environmental performance should be disclosed to answer the expectations of the various stakeholders. Therefore, our research contributes to corporate governance studies by focusing on reporting dedicated to all the stakeholders.

Indonesia downfall as represented in the economic crisis is due to the inability of the government to restore the pre-crisis level of investment in 1997. This could happen although the government has enforced Law No. 1 of 1967 Jo No 11 of 1970 on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Law No. 6 Years 1968 Jo No 12 Year 1978 on Domestic Investment (DCI). This study attempts to reveal whether the investment is quite effective in accelerating investment through the stabilization of money. This is very important because the stabilization of money can raise investments, which finally affect greatly the condition of the state economy. The data were collected from 1970 to 2012. Econometric model is employed for testing the hypotheses because it can handle the mutual dependence (interdependence). Besides that, econometric model is an invaluable tool for understanding the way the economic system works and so to test and evaluate policy alternatives. Hypothesis is tested using multiple regressions with Two Stages Least Square method. The result shows that the stabilization of money could accelerate the investment by looking at the intermediate indicators on the exchange rate. However, it cannot be seen through the indicators of inflation.

The issue of gender equality has still been a global topic. This implies that male and female should be treated equally. In Indonesia, the realization of gender equality should be pursued by providing wider opportunities for females in various aspects such as in social life with their role in the economy. Nowadays, females can freely open businesses or become entrepreneurs, and even they have opportunity to lead an organization. However, in reality, the number of business females is still very limitedcompared to the males. For that reason, it requires empowering the female for increasing the number of female entrepreneurs in Indonesia. This study provides a typical character of leadership and entrepreneurship of females in running the business. It explores the role of leadership and entrepreneurship of female in business in Surabaya.

Yet, they tend to act as a controller while the role as an enabler is done only for certain conditions. From the entrepreneurship point of view, it shows an important role of entrepreneurship that is to build a culture of innovation and create competitiveness.

Accounting information allows management to implement strategies and operational activities which are necessary to achieve the objectives of the organization as a whole, including on Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Many SMEs have difficulty in understanding the accounting information well, whereas the accounting information plays an important role in creating the flow of financial information to support sur- vival or going concern of the SMEs. This study has two objectives. First, to determine the effect of knowledge of accounting, business scale, business experience, and types of businesses on the use of accounting information with the environmental uncertainty as a moderating variable on SMEs in Surabaya and Sidoarjo, second, to determine the effect of the use of accounting information on the performance of SMEs. The result shows that knowledge of accounting, business scale, and business experience affect the use of accounting information. However, the variable of type of business does not affect the use of accounting information. The result of hierarchical regression analysis shows that the variable of environmental uncertainty strengthens the efffect of the variables of knowledge of accounting, business experience, and type of business on the use of accounting information. However, the environmental uncertainty does not strengthen the effect of business scale on the use of accounting information. The test result also shows that the use of accounting information can improve the performance of SMEs.
