Navigating Flexible Work Arrangements to Foster Sustainable Growth through Adaptive Innovation
This study examines the impact of flexible work arrangements on innovation and sustainable growth in companies. Flexible working hours allow employees to set their own schedules and decide where and when they work most effectively. This allows them to spend more time at home or in the lab. Detaching the office helps increase productivity, creativity, and employee happiness. However, flexible office models and innovative product breakthroughs have become successful models, leading to success for their practitioners in every way. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, using questionnaires to collect data from 400 organizations across various industries. We also interviewed top managers in five cases. The results show that organizations that adopt flexible work significantly improve their ability to innovate. In technology, financial services, and manufacturing, organizations that work on innovative projects with at least one employee have shortened the overall time to market for new products while launching more successful products. Furthermore, improving employee quality of life is associated with higher levels of employee satisfaction, as employees enjoy their work more, which is beneficial for all parties involved. Furthermore, cyber leadership and digital collaboration technologies are key tools for the success of flexible work arrangements. The results of this study show that in terms of helping companies survive and thrive, adaptive work patterns are not only beneficial but also provide a competitive advantage for our organization over others in an already crowded market.

Analysis of the Relationship Between Energy Consumption and Economic Growth in Indonesia: An Empirical Perspective and Environmental Impact
This study examines the relationship between energy consumption and the concept of economic growth in Indonesia, and evaluates its impact on carbon emissions from 2019 to 2025. In examining the relationship between variables, a mixed-form log-linear Cobb-Douglas production function model is used to adopt a dynamic approach with an explanatory design. Annual data are taken from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics, Energy, and Development Indicators. The analysis stages include the Augmented Dickey-Fuller stationarity test, the Granger causality test, Ordinary Least Squares analysis estimation, and to ensure model validity, diagnostic testing. The estimation results show that energy consumption has a positive and significant effect on real Gross Domestic Product. The elasticity coefficient of 1.523 indicates that a one percent increase in energy consumption is associated with a 1.52 percent increase in output. The Granger causality test shows a one-way relationship from energy consumption to economic growth, reflecting the function of energy as the main driver of national production activities. The increase in energy consumption during the economic recovery period is also accompanied by an increase in carbon dioxide emissions, indicating a high carbon intensity in our economic structure. Dependence on fossil-based energy sources continues to be a major factor causing increasing environmental pressure. These findings highlight the need for policies that support energy mix diversification, increased efficiency, and accelerated renewable energy development that can secure long-term growth rates and ensure environmental stability.

The Role of Learning Openness in Moderating Tacit Knowledge and Heritage-Based Learning by Doing on Human Resource Productivity in Ulu Belu Coffee
This study examines the role of learning openness in moderating the relationship between tacit knowledge, learning by doing (heritage learning), and human resource productivity in Ulu Belu coffee MSMEs, Indonesia. Grounded in the Knowledge-Based View and Organizational Learning Theory, this research investigates how experiential and inherited knowledge contribute to workforce productivity within traditional agribusiness settings. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using survey data collected from 200 coffee MSME actors in Ulu Belu, Lampung. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that tacit knowledge significantly and positively influences human resource productivity. Likewise, learning by doing through intergenerational knowledge transfer significantly enhances productivity. These results confirm that experience-based and socially embedded learning mechanisms remain critical drivers of performance in traditional coffee enterprises. Furthermore, learning openness plays a significant moderating role. It strengthens the relationship between heritage learning and productivity, indicating that openness to new ideas, external collaboration, and technological adoption amplifies the benefits of traditional knowledge transfer. Learning openness also moderates the effect of tacit knowledge on productivity, although the effect size is relatively weaker. This study contributes to the literature by integrating tacit knowledge, heritage learning, and learning openness into a single empirical model within the agribusiness MSME context. Practically, the findings suggest that enhancing learning openness alongside preserving traditional knowledge can improve workforce productivity and sustainability in coffee-based MSMEs.

Implementation of Data Security Framework in Microservices Cloud Computing Architecture for E-Learning Platform
Secure cloud infrastructure is necessary for Indonesia's e-learning to undergo a digital transition. This study examines how a data security framework is implemented on a microservices architecture based on Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). Using a kualitatif approach through case studies, this study integrates the principles of Arsitektur Zero Trust, end-to-end encoding, and service isolation. According to the research findings, this integrated framework can enhance system resilience, speed up security incident response by 65%, and lower the chance of data breaches by up to 87%. The PaaS model's high scalability and inadequate resource control make this framework easily applicable to a variety of other large-scale digital platforms. When creating an e-learning ecosystem that is resistant to cyberattacks, developers and educational institutions can use this research as a strategic guide.

Securitization of Local Maritime Governance: The Institutional Role of Poskamladu Tamperan in the Maritime Security System of Pacitan Bay
Maritime security has evolved beyond traditional military concerns to encompass multidimensional non-traditional threats, particularly at the local governance level. This study analyzes the securitization process of the Integrated Maritime Security Post (Poskamladu) at Tamperan Port within the maritime security system of Pacitan Bay. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. The analysis applies the Copenhagen School’s securitization framework, focusing on securitizing actors, existential threats, speech acts, and referent objects. The findings indicate that Poskamladu functions as a securitizing actor by framing non-traditional issues—illegal fishing, coastal spatial conflicts, and disorderly port activities—as existential threats to marine sustainability, community stability, and local economic security. Unlike classical securitization models emphasizing formal declarations, securitization at Tamperan occurs through informal, practice-based speech acts embedded in mediation, coordination, and licensing control. However, the effectiveness of this securitization process is constrained by fragmented authority, limited infrastructure capacity, and insufficient preparedness for technology-based threats. This study contributes theoretically by extending securitization analysis to subnational maritime governance and highlighting the role of informal institutional practices in constructing security threats.

Internal Audit Strategies in Strengthening Corporate Governance: A Risk Management and Compliance Analysis
This study aims to analyze the role of internal audit in strengthening corporate governance. This study focuses on the risk management and compliance aspects of an organization's ability to comply with accepted standards, laws, and regulations, especially in this era of digital transformation. Internal audit plays a crucial role in reviewing the suitability of internal control systems, risk management, and compliance. The application of technology in internal audit has enabled increased risk detection efficiency while ensuring better compliance. This study uses a comparative approach, comparing companies that have switched to digital technology systems for internal audit with companies that still use traditional methods. Data collection comes from interviews, surveys, and document analysis of 200 respondents (internal auditors, audit committee members, and senior managers) in 50 companies. Newly introduced digital technologies in internal audit have been shown to strengthen risk management and compliance, thereby improving overall corporate governance. Organizations with strong governance structures, having more independent directors and more effective audit committees, tend to be more successful in risk management. The study also found that clear policies on internal control play a very important role in improving compliance. However, issues such as unreliable investment costs, complete system integration, and resistance from top management remain barriers to implementing digital technologies in internal audit.

Collaboration of the 'Merah Putih' Village Cooperative Business Model and Public Kitchens in Supporting Local Food Security
Local food security is a strategic issue in sustainable development, especially amidst challenges in food distribution, unequal access, and increasing nutritional needs of the community. Strengthening community-based food systems has encouraged the emergence of the Merah Putih Village Cooperative (KDMP) as a village economic aggregator and the Free Nutritional Meal Program (MBG) through public kitchens as food providers for vulnerable groups. The collaboration between these two institutions is seen as capable of shortening the supply chain, increasing the absorption of local products, and strengthening the people's economy. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, documentation studies, and focus group discussions, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques to obtain a comprehensive contextual understanding. The research findings indicate that collaboration between KDMP and public kitchens has significant potential to build a more organized food distribution chain, provide a stable market for village products, and create economic opportunities for local communities. However, institutional fragmentation, technological limitations, varying procurement mechanisms, and the lack of quality standards remain key obstacles. This study concludes that collaborative business models can be an effective strategy for building an inclusive and resilient local food ecosystem if supported by strengthened governance, supply chain digitalization, and cross-sector partnerships. Theoretically, this research contributes to the development of collaborative governance and community-based business models by demonstrating that synergy between local organizations can increase food system resilience while expanding the role of cooperatives as community economic institutions. Consequently, local governments and program managers need to promote collaborative regulation, institutional capacity building, and investment in logistics infrastructure to ensure the sustainability of village-based food systems.

The Board's Commitment as a Factor Strengthening the Influence of Board Characteristics on Company Financial Performance
This study examines the effect of board characteristics on financial performance of manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2019–2023. Specifically, it investigates the influence of board size, board independence, board expertise, and female board representation on firm performance, while incorporating board commitment as a moderating variable and firm size, firm age, and leverage as control variables. Financial performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). The study employs a quantitative research design using secondary data derived from annual reports of 55 manufacturing companies selected through purposive sampling. Panel data regression analysis is conducted using EViews 9. The findings reveal that firm size and firm age positively affect ROA, whereas leverage negatively affects ROA. For ROE, board size, board commitment, and leverage show positive effects, while female board representation, firm size, and firm age demonstrate negative effects. Furthermore, board commitment negatively moderates the relationship between board size and ROE. The results suggest that larger boards may enhance performance through diverse expertise and experience; however, higher female board representation is associated with lower performance within the observed context. This study contributes to corporate governance literature by highlighting the contingent role of board commitment and provides practical implications for corporate governance design and investment decision-making.

Identification of Factors of Small Enterprise Coffee Development: A Case Study in UUT Agro Semesta, Bali
This research aims to identify the critical internal and external factors influencing the development of coffee MSMEs and to formulate strategic recommendations for UUT Agro Semesta in Pajahan Village, Tabanan, Bali. Addressing the slow growth and conventional management practices in the region's coffee sector, this study contributes to the field of management science by providing a strategic framework for small enterprise sustainability. The study employed a quantitative case study design, collecting primary data through structured questionnaires, interviews, and observations from 30 respondents selected via purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS Version 25 for descriptive statistics and the SWOT framework, involving Internal Factor Analysis Summary (IFAS) and External Factor Analysis Summary (EFAS) matrices. The results reveal that the enterprise possesses strong internal foundations (IFAS score: 2.93), primarily driven by specialized farmer skills and high family involvement (90%). However, external analysis (EFAS score: 3.10) highlights significant opportunities in government subsidies and cooperative networks, contrasted by threats from market access barriers (90% reported obstacles) and climate dependency. The findings suggest that the business is in a growth-oriented position, recommending an S-O (Strengths-Opportunities) strategy that prioritizes the utilization of government-led technical training to enhance production and leveraging cooperatives for market expansion. Practically, this study recommends that policymakers facilitate micro-financing and climate-adaptive irrigation technologies to mitigate technical weaknesses. These results offer a roadmap for coffee MSMEs to improve competitive advantage through integrated management and strategic institutional collaboration.

Comparative Analysis of SAW and WP Methods for Employee Selection in MSMEs
The process of selecting new employees in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is often still carried out subjectively, which can lead to less optimal decision-making. This study aims to apply and compare the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) and Weighted Product (WP) methods as decision support systems for new employee selection in MSMEs. The evaluation is conducted based on four criteria: education level, work experience, skill competency, and interview results. The dataset consists of ten job candidates that are processed through weight normalization, preference value calculation, and ranking stages. The results show that both methods are capable of providing objective and measurable recommendations for selecting the best employees, although differences appear in the final ranking of candidates because the SAW method calculates scores by summing weighted normalized values for each criterion, while the WP method multiplies each criterion value raised to its weight, making the influence of high or low scores more pronounced. The SAW method is simpler and easier to understand, while the WP method is more sensitive to criterion weights and better distinguishes candidates with varied performance levels. The best alternative tends to consistently rank at the top in both methods. Therefore, the implementation of the SAW and WP methods can assist MSMEs in making systematic and accurate employee selection decisions based on a dataset of ten candidates evaluated across four assessment criteria.

The Impact of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Integration on Decision-Making and Supply Chain Efficiency in Modern Logistics
This study examines the impact of the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data on decision-making and operational efficiency in the logistics sector. AI accelerates data processing, while Big Data enables large-scale analysis to make more informed decisions. Both technologies can improve planning, distribution, and equipment monitoring, as well as enhance supply chain operability by reducing human error. The study included case studies of 50 logistics companies that have adopted AI and Big Data. Using this quantitative method, the research team developed survey questions based on the four parameters listed above and answered them by interviewing representatives from each company's management department. The results show that 70% of companies have implemented AI across various operational aspects. Sixty percent of companies are fully utilizing Big Data. AI improves demand forecast accuracy by 30% and reduces inventory waste by 25%. AI implementation saves 15-20% on delivery time in route management, while reducing operational costs. However, there are several drawbacks: it is expensive to build systems using all these technologies, there is a shortage of skilled labor, and companies struggle to integrate new systems with existing legacy systems. This study also shows that organizational readiness plays a critical role in leveraging the technical potential of these two technologies to improve supply chain operational efficiency.

Tableau-Based Business Intelligence Analysis For the 4P Strategy and Product Sales KPIs in Vending Machines at Minori Group
This study aims to analyze the application of Business Intelligence (BI) using Tableau in supporting data-driven decision making in the marketing mix strategy (4Ps) and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for vending machine product sales at Minori Group. With the increasing need for efficiency and competition in the South Cikarang industrial area, Minori Group faces challenges in integrating marketing and sales data scattered across various sources. The research method used is a descriptive quantitative approach with the following stages: data collection from vending machine applications, data cleaning using Excel, integration into Tableau for visual analysis, interpretation of visualization results, and preparation of strategic recommendations. The results show that visualization with Tableau is able to provide a comprehensive picture of product performance based on the aspects of Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. The main findings show that inconsistent product placement per slot (BIN) causes sales analysis to be less accurate, while KPI calculations reveal significant variations in performance between products. Tableau has proven to be effective in helping management identify sales patterns, high-performing products, and areas that need to be optimized through promotional strategies and slot rearrangement. The integration of Marketing Mix theory, Business Intelligence, and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) confirms that Tableau not only serves as a visualization tool, but also as a strategic platform in building a data-driven organizational culture. The implementation of BI through Tableau is expected to increase marketing effectiveness, operational efficiency, and company profitability.

Optimizing Natural Resource Products through Sustainable Branding, Human Capital Strengthening, and Financial Resilience in the Age of Millennial and Gen Z Consumers
This paper explores sustainable branding, human resource capability, and financial sustainability on anesthetic competitiveness of nursery product in Millennial and Gen Z era consumers. Despite young consumers’ strong environmental concern, an attitude–behavior gap is observed between their attitudes and actual purchasing behavior. From interviews with 20 informants including young consumers, producers and fintech developers we conclude that sustainability matters, but only if authenticity and transparency are there to back it up. The challenges for producers are often reduced digital skills, weak financial literacy, and difficult access to capital. These constraints inhibit their ability to market sustainably, generate innovations, and manage financial risks. The research recommends that natural resource enterprises should include sustainable brand credence, robust human resources capability, and better financial resilience in order to thrive and grow in the era of digitalization and environmental awareness in Indonesia.

The Impact of Economic Uncertainty on Food Security and the Role of Business Openness as a Moderating Factor in Indonesia's Economic Development
The economic uncertainty experienced by developing countries like Indonesia has the potential to disrupt food security, which is an essential element for social and economic stability. Changes in the international economic environment, such as inflation, fluctuation in exchange rates, and variations in international policies can often have an impact on supply or availability of food. But it is under these circumstances that business openness must function as an instrument of moderation in increasing uncertainty for food security. As a result, this research attempts to discuss the relationship between economic uncertainty and food security in Indonesia, and how business openness serves to amplify or dampen the effects of economic uncertainty on food production. Panel data from the years 2019 to 2024 is used cm this analysis. The findings bring out that business openness has a positive effect on food security, while economic uncertainty has a negative one. Meanwhile, interaction between economic uncertainty and business openness suggests that the more open an economy is economically, the less negative will be its weight on food production. It underscores the importance of policies combining good with global integration to the domestic food sector, if food security in Indonesia is to be secure in the face of global economic uncertainty that unsettles everything.

The Impact of Social Media Marketing on Brand Loyalty: The Role of Brand Trust and Brand Equity as Mediating Variables
The development of social media has significantly influenced the way companies establish relationships with their consumers, In an increasingly competitive environment, marketing strategies that involve direct interaction through digital platforms are becoming more crucial for building brand loyalty. This study aims to understand how promotional activities through social media can strengthen consumer loyalty, by considering brand trust and perceptions of brand value as mediating factors that connect these elements. After the raw data had been collected and analyzed through a process that included picking out active Instagram users, we selected those who have followed skincare brand accounts and bought products right after exposure to promotional information. Utilizing SmartPLS software for Structural Equation Modeling, it was found that the quality of a message, visual impact and social interaction represent the three factors which have great influence on whether trust is established or else there will be positive or negative evaluation for your brand. Trust, which builds up from good experiences and consistent communication, as it turns out leads to emotional connections. With these connections in place, it becomes easier to stick around and harder to leave--for repeated generic preferences over time. Also, perceptions of product value and quality serve as reinforcing factors in shaping repeat purchase decisions. The research findings suggest that successful marketing strategies can not only be based on the frequency of social media appearances, but should instead see how relationships are actively and authentically fostered. Enterprises that keep up two-way communication and give consistent experiences will have a better chance for higher customer loyalty. These findings lay a necessary groundwork for business practitioners to design digital approaches less reliant on random solitude and more enabled through social relationships.

Functional Oversight Reform as a Strategic Instrument for Effective Regional Financial Governance
This study examines functional oversight reform as a strategic instrument to strengthen regional financial governance in Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province. The research is motivated by weak internal control systems and limited inspectorate capacity, which often trigger irregularities in financial management. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with key informants the Inspector of Bone Bolango Regency, three auditors, and two supporting staff supported by observations and document analysis. The analysis identifies five core themes. First, functional oversight reform through the Government Internal Control System SPIP, shifting supervision from reactive to preventive. Second, financial governance strategies emphasizing risk-based auditing and the creation of task forces within OPD. Third, the use of information technology to enhance transparency, efficiency, and real time risk mapping, though constrained by infrastructure and human resources. Fourth, the role of organizational culture, especially integrity, professionalism, and participatory leadership, in sustaining effective oversight. Fifth, community involvement via the whistleblowing system and the WASKITA Clinic, which strengthens accountability despite low participation. The study contributes theoretically by emphasizing the interplay of structural, cultural, and technological factors in determining the effectiveness of public sector oversight. From a policy standpoint, it highlights the need for stronger governmental commitment to empower inspectorates as internal supervisory bodies (APIP), enhance digital infrastructure, improve human resource competence, and expand public literacy on financial monitoring. These policy implications aim to build a more adaptive, accountable, and transparent financial oversight system that supports sustainable regional governance.

The rising incidence of HIV in Indonesia necessitates the development of more effective and precise screening techniques for early identification. The created methodology improves the accuracy of HIV status prediction by integrating many laboratory indicators, including total blood count, viral load, CD4 count, and patient demographic information. For the years 2020–2024, 5,847 patient samples from different Indonesian hospitals made up the dataset. A Deep Neural Network (DNN) architecture with Grid Search hyperparameter optimization was employed in this investigation. According to the evaluation results, the model obtained an F1 score of 93.5%, a sensitivity of 92.8%, a specificity of 95.1%, and an accuracy of 94.2%. When compared to using only laboratory data, the model's performance increased by 3.7% when demographic data was included. This methodology can lessen laboratory burden while assisting medical staff in doing HIV screening more quickly and accurately. An external validation plan has been created with a testing strategy using a separate dataset from ten referral hospitals that were not part of the model training process in order to guarantee the model's dependability in clinical application. To boost the confidence of medical staff, a workable implementation has been created in the form of an API and web application that can be included into the hospital's current information systems and provide an explanation of the prediction results. To help healthcare facilities with different resource levels embrace this technology, technical and clinical implementation recommendations are offered. In order to assess how well the model works to increase HIV detection rates and clinical workflow efficiency, a post-implementation impact evaluation is planned. The efficiency of HIV prevention and control initiatives in Indonesia might be greatly increased by incorporating this paradigm into the healthcare system.

The Influence of Internal and External Factors on Stock Price Fluctuations in Manufacturing Companies
As far as stock prices are concerned, the consideration of both internal and external factors, is very necessary. In this study, we use financial ratios and interest rates as variables to study from 2019 - 2023 the stock prices of manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Internal variables investigated here include Return on Assets (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Earnings Per Share (EPS); while the external variable to be considered is the benchmark interest interest rate. The data used in this study is from the company's own annual reports and internet sources such as Yahoo Finance. A regression model with a Fixed Effect approach took into account both the differences in company characteristics. These analyses shed light on problems such as whether the ROA and EPS affect stock price positive effects at the expense of DER. Instead, we find a significant negative effect on stock prices by benchmark interest rate. The adjusted R² nugget shows that the model is capable of shedding 0.961 units lighter elsewhere in explaining stock price changes. These results are able to help investors and company managers make their market performance related decisions more intelligently by revealing the factors that influence stock price movements.

Cluster of Foreign Tourists Using the K-Means Method Based on Arrival Data at I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport (2018-2024)
Tourism is a vital sector in the economic development of Bali Province, with the number of international tourist arrivals through I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport as the main indicator. According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of international tourists reached its peak in 2019 with over 16.1 million visits. However, in 2020–2021, there was a drastic decline due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, the number of international tourist arrivals began to show a significant recovery. In 2023, the number of international tourist arrivals to Indonesia reached 11.68 million, most of whom entered through major airports such as I Gusti Ngurah Rai Airport (Bali). The inaccuracy of the tourist arrival grouping process has had a negative impact on business growth and tourism revenue. This study aims to classify the countries of origin of international tourists based on the number of visits using the K-Means Clustering method, an effective unsupervised data mining algorithm for data segmentation. Data was obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), covering the number of tourist arrivals and their countries of origin from 2018 to 2024. The analysis process involves determining the optimal number of clusters using the Elbow Method, followed by grouping countries based on visit characteristics. The results of the study indicate that tourist countries of origin can be grouped into three main clusters: high-visit countries (Australia and China), medium-visit countries, and low-visit countries. This study provides strategic insights for the government and tourism industry stakeholders in developing more targeted policies, such as improving transportation infrastructure and implementing more effective marketing strategies to maintain and increase the number of tourist visits to Bali.
