This study investigates KIDI IoT, an educational service by PT Telkom Indonesia designed to bridge the skills gap between Vocational High School (SMK) graduates and the demands of the Industry 4.0 workforce. The primary objective was to assess the extent to which the KIDI IoT service fulfilled the requirements of educators and learners to substantiate its value proposition. A qualitative, exploratory methodology was employed utilizing in-depth interviews and the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) framework for analysis. The outcomes demonstrate how effectively the program's project-based, experiential approach increases user motivation and offers a practical, industry-relevant learning environment. The service successfully generates the desired customer benefits. A major customer pain point that the current model ignores is that participants often expressed that the two-day offline training period was insufficient to help them master the material or build their confidence for working independently. This led to a significant misalignment. The KIDI IoT value proposition is fundamentally strong and well-regarded; however, the study concludes that its implementation necessitates improvement, particularly through the provision of more specialized teacher training and an extended training duration, to ensure sustained impact and skill acquisition.

This Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) assistance program aims to improve business capacity, strengthen branding, expand marketing reach, and provide formal legal status to MSMEs. Activities carried out include digital marketing training, assistance in creating e-commerce accounts, designing and delivering MSME logos, providing grants for sealing equipment, and assisting in obtaining a Business Identification Number (NIB) through the OSS system. The implementation methods include initial observation, activity planning, interactive training, direct mentoring, and post-activity monitoring and evaluation. These methods are designed to ensure that MSMEs are not only equipped with technical knowledge but also empowered with the practical tools necessary for success in a competitive market. The results of the activities show an improvement in the digital marketing skills of MSMEs, allowing them to reach a wider audience through social media platforms and online advertising. The creation of logos as brand identities has significantly boosted the recognition of these businesses, helping them establish a stronger presence in their respective markets. Additionally, the enhanced product packaging quality with the provision of sealing tools has led to better product presentation, which is essential in attracting customers and increasing sales. Furthermore, the acquisition of NIBs as business legal status has provided MSMEs with greater legitimacy, enabling them to access more formal business opportunities and funding options. This program has had a positive impact on the professionalism and competitiveness of MSMEs, which has been reflected in their increased ability to market their products effectively and efficiently. However, further assistance is needed in optimizing digital promotion, such as improving online advertising strategies, and fully utilizing NIBs for better business expansion. Moreover, it is crucial to offer ongoing support and guidance to ensure that MSMEs can continue to thrive and adapt to the rapidly changing digital landscape

The concept of company value is critical for investors as it reflects the potential growth, profitability, and long-term sustainability of a business. Company value is a critical factor that guides investment decisions, as it embodies both tangible and intangible factors that contribute to the firm’s success. The factors that influence company value include Good Corporate Governance (GCG), which refers to the practices that ensure a company’s management is held accountable, transparent, and efficient. It also includes profitability metrics, such as Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), which indicate how well a company is performing in generating profits from its assets and equity. This study aimed to analyze how GCG and profitability influence company value, specifically in the infrastructure sector of Indonesia, listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). By using multiple linear regression analysis with data collected from 8 companies between 2020 and 2024, the research uncovered some insightful findings. It was found that the presence of Independent Commissioners, as part of GCG, had a positive and significant effect on company value. This highlights the importance of having independent oversight to ensure that the company operates in the best interests of its shareholders. In contrast, Institutional Ownership had no significant impact on company value, which might suggest that larger institutional investors do not always influence the company’s strategic direction in a way that directly affects value. Additionally, profitability, as measured by ROA and ROE, had significant effects on company value. ROA negatively influenced company value, which may indicate that companies with higher assets do not always perform better in terms of profitability, possibly due to inefficiencies. However, ROE had a positive influence on company value, suggesting that companies that efficiently use equity to generate profits are viewed more favorably by investors.  

This study evaluates the effectiveness of the SAP accounting information system in supporting the implementation of the Independent Learning–Independent Campus (MBKM) Internship Program at PT Japfa Comfeed Indonesia Tbk, Gedangan Unit. SAP, as an integrated Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, was adopted to replace the previous desktop-based system, which had significant limitations, such as restricted local access, dependence on additional licenses, and lower integration capabilities across departments. The main objective of this research is to determine how SAP contributes to improving organizational efficiency while simultaneously providing practical learning opportunities for students participating in the MBKM internship program. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through direct observation of company operations, semi-structured interviews with student interns and field supervisors, and analysis of company documentation. The findings indicate that the use of SAP has enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and speed in recording and reporting financial transactions. Through their internship, students engaged directly in business processes, particularly in handling purchase requisitions, reimbursement procedures, and asset management activities. This exposure enabled students to develop a deeper understanding of integrated financial systems and the workflow of a large-scale agribusiness corporation. Although several technical challenges were encountered, particularly in the form of temporary network disruptions, such issues did not substantially hinder the system’s overall performance. The availability of prompt technical support from the company’s IT team minimized potential negative impacts and ensured system continuity. Beyond improving corporate financial governance, SAP also offered valuable experiential learning for interns, bridging theoretical knowledge acquired in academic settings with real-world industrial applications. Overall, the study concludes that SAP functions not only as a strategic enterprise tool for the company but also as an effective educational medium that supports the success of the MBKM internship program.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have long been recognized as a vital driver of economic growth, particularly in rural areas where access to large-scale industries is limited. In Dahu Village, the community relies on local products such as melinjo as one of the main sources of livelihood. However, despite the potential of melinjo-based products, business development has been constrained by limited innovation, low product diversification, and weak marketing strategies. These challenges hinder the competitiveness of local SMEs in wider markets, especially in appealing to younger consumers who often prefer modern and innovative products. To address these challenges, the 2025 Student Work Study Program (KKM) conducted by the University of Bina Bangsa implemented a community empowerment project aimed at enhancing the capacity of SMEs in the melinjo sector. The program introduced the development of an innovative product, namely chocolate-flavored keceprek, a melinjo-based snack with a unique taste and higher market value. The initiative not only focused on product innovation but also provided comprehensive support in production techniques, hygienic and attractive packaging, logo and banner design, as well as digital marketing strategies tailored to rural entrepreneurs. The results of the activity highlight that even a relatively simple innovation can significantly increase product appeal, improve branding, and create new market opportunities. Early feedback indicated that chocolate-flavored keceprek products successfully attracted interest from younger consumers, demonstrating the importance of innovation in maintaining the relevance of traditional products. Furthermore, the project functioned as a collaborative platform where students and local communities worked together in applying entrepreneurial concepts to local potential. This synergy not only contributed to improving the competitiveness of SMEs in Dahu Village but also encouraged sustainable economic development in rural areas through innovation, creativity, and digital-based marketing.

The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression after being collected through questionnaires. Research shows that human resource training, work motivation, and transformational leadership simultaneously and partially have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The results indicate that organizations must enhance their inspiring leadership styles, boost employee morale through internal and external approaches, and implement sustainable training programs to improve their employees' skills. This study provides a theoretical basis for the advancement of human resource management science and offers practical benefits for human resource managers and practitioners in improving organizational efficiency.

This study aims to analyze the effect of relationship marketing on customer loyalty with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable at Sky Beauty Care Surabaya. Relationship marketing, which encompasses aspects of trust, commitment, communication, and complaint handling, has been identified as an important strategy in building long-term relationships with customers. In this study, a quantitative approach was used with a survey method, where data was collected through questionnaires distributed to customers who have used Sky Beauty Care services. The analysis results show that relationship marketing has a significant effect on customer satisfaction. The trust built between customers and the company, the company's commitment to providing the best service, clear and open communication, and prompt and effective complaint handling all contribute to increased customer satisfaction. This high customer satisfaction, in turn, has a positive effect on customer loyalty. Customers who are satisfied with the service they receive are more likely to use the service again and recommend it to others, ultimately strengthening the customer's relationship with the company. These findings provide an important contribution to Sky Beauty Care in formulating more effective marketing strategies. Better implementation of relationship marketing can increase customer satisfaction and loyalty, which ultimately has a positive impact on business sustainability and growth. Therefore, companies need to continuously strengthen customer relationships by improving service quality, communicating effectively, and responding to customer complaints. Therefore, relationship marketing can be key to successfully retaining customers and increasing their loyalty. Furthermore, this study also shows that customer satisfaction is not only a direct result of relationship marketing but also a key driver in fostering sustainable customer loyalty.

Pesantren, as an Islamic educational institution that has long been a center of religious learning and character development, has great potential in advancing entrepreneurship based on local wisdom. The role of pesantren is not only limited to teaching religious studies, but also includes coaching students to have economic independence and competitiveness in the midst of the Times. Local wisdom that grows around pesantren can be an important capital in developing businesses that are relevant to the needs of the community. However, optimizing the function of pesantren in producing students who are independent and able to compete still faces various challenges. One of the main obstacles is the development of Human Resources (HR) which is not only oriented to mastering the theory, but also on practical skills and understanding of local values. Without the right strategy, such great potential is difficult to realize sustainably. This study aims to explore strategies that can be applied in the development of human resources in order to improve the performance of local wisdom-based entrepreneurship in the boarding school. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case studies on several boarding schools that have succeeded in forming productive business units by utilizing local potential, such as agriculture, fisheries, crafts, and food product processing. Research findings indicate that several crucial factors in building entrepreneurial human resources in pesantren include: strengthening character and work ethic, hands-on practice-based training in the field, collaboration with local business actors for knowledge transfer and market networking, as well as historical and philosophical understanding of local wisdom values. The success of entrepreneurship development in pesantren depends on the integration of spiritual aspects, practical skills, and knowledge about the potential of the region. Based on the results of the study, an integrated entrepreneurship training model that combines science, faith, and concrete action is recommended. This Model is expected to produce great pesantren entrepreneurs, competitive, and able to adapt and face global challenges without leaving their identity and noble values.

Free trade provides significant opportunities for developing countries to increase exports, expand market access, and drive economic growth. Through engagement in global markets, products and services can reach a wider range of consumers, creating the potential for increased national income. However, global economic integration also presents serious challenges, particularly in terms of the protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). As national boundaries in economic activity become increasingly blurred, intellectual property—including patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyrights, and trade secrets—becomes increasingly vulnerable to infringement. Common forms of infringement include piracy, counterfeiting of branded products, and theft of technology or innovation. These practices not only harm creators or rights owners but can also hinder the development of innovation, reduce industrial competitiveness, and undermine consumer confidence. Adequate IPR protection requires a combination of strong national regulations and an effective international legal framework. Instruments such as the TRIPS (Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights) Agreement under the WTO provide global standards to which compliance must be adhered, but implementation at the national level is crucial for their success. Weak or inconsistent law enforcement can open the door to violations that harm both domestic and foreign businesses. Beyond legal aspects, effective IPR protection also impacts the investment climate. Investors tend to invest in countries that can guarantee the security of their intellectual assets. Therefore, IPR protection is not only a legal issue but also a long-term economic development strategy. Therefore, in the era of free trade, developing countries need to balance market openness with strengthening IPR protection systems to create a conducive environment for innovation, sustainable economic growth, and public welfare.

This study examines the phenomenon of the religious jargon “Go Berkah No Riba” (Go Blessed, No Interest) as a digital marketing communication strategy employed by entrepreneurs on social media, particularly Facebook. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and visual discourse analysis, this research seeks to understand how the jargon is interpreted, constructed, and widely disseminated in the context of product marketing and business opportunities. The findings indicate that “Go Berkah No Riba” functions not only as a marker of religious identity but also as a rhetorical device that combines spiritual values with aspirations for material success. Visual analysis of promotional materials, such as flyers and Facebook posts, reveals the use of hyperbolic language, symbolic imagery—such as the Kaaba and piles of money—and religious narratives designed to build credibility and persuade potential consumers. The integration of religious elements with economic appeal creates a sharia-compliant business image that simultaneously promises profitability. However, the study also uncovers ambiguity in the use of this jargon. On the one hand, it can strengthen the image of a business operating ethically according to Islamic principles. On the other hand, it risks being exploited merely as a marketing gimmick without a strong foundation in ethical business practices. This creates the potential for a gap between the religious message communicated and the actual business conduct. The findings underscore the importance of critical literacy in understanding religious communication strategies within the digital business sphere. Consistency between religious messaging and real-world business practices is crucial for maintaining consumer trust and avoiding the excessive commodification of religious values. Therefore, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the dynamics of religion-based marketing communication in the era of digital transformation.

The rapid growth of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in the culinary sector in Denpasar City has made a significant contribution to the regional economy and job creation. This sector has become one of the key drivers of local economic activity, attracting both residents and tourists. However, despite its potential, challenges persist. Fluctuations in the number of MSE actors and the suboptimal use of social media for marketing hinder sustainable income growth. Moreover, poor decisions regarding business location and inappropriate pricing strategies often become barriers to achieving business success. This study aims to analyze the simultaneous effects of business location, pricing, and social media usage on the income of culinary MSEs in Denpasar City. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method, in which questionnaires were distributed to 99 culinary MSE actors. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to evaluate the influence of each variable both simultaneously and partially. The results reveal that business location, pricing, and social media usage together have a significant effect on MSE income. Partially, business location and pricing show a positive and significant influence, indicating that strategic location selection and competitive pricing play crucial roles in increasing income. In contrast, social media usage does not significantly affect income, suggesting that while digital platforms have potential as marketing tools, their benefits remain limited without effective content strategies and adequate digital literacy. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening fundamental business aspects, particularly location and pricing strategies, to improve MSE performance. Furthermore, policy support and targeted assistance programs focusing on enhancing digital literacy and managerial capacity among MSE actors are essential. By addressing these areas, the culinary sector in Denpasar City can achieve more sustainable growth and contribute even more effectively to the local economy.

The shift in lifestyle patterns, particularly in urban areas, has driven rapid growth in the fast food industry in Indonesia. Many franchise businesses are chosen by the public because they offer proven systems that reduce the risk of failure. This study aims to analyze and examine the market expansion strategies implemented by fast food franchise brand owners in Indonesia. The focus of this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with case studies of several local and international fast food franchises. The methods used in this study include in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation to gather relevant data on the strategies employed. Successful franchises are influenced by several key factors, including strong brand equity, clear operational standards, and support systems provided by the franchiser to franchisees. Furthermore, the ability to adapt to local tastes is also an essential aspect in the success of expanding fast food franchises in Indonesia. The study also reveals that the utilization of digital media, selection of strategic locations, and partnerships with food delivery services are major drivers of market expansion strategies. The results of this study emphasize that fast food franchises looking to grow further need to implement product differentiation strategies to remain competitive in an increasingly crowded market. Product innovation is key for franchises to stay relevant and stand out from other brands. Additionally, continuous mentoring and evaluation of franchise partners are critical for ensuring sustainable and mutually beneficial collaborations. Overall, applying the right strategies and ensuring sustainability will ensure the success and broader market expansion of fast food franchises in Indonesia.

WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging platforms, offering fast and simple communication. Among its active users are students from Islamic boarding schools (santri), including those involved in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, despite its convenience, many users lack awareness regarding digital safety and privacy, exposing them to cyber risks such as phishing, scams, and identity theft. In Nusukan, Surakarta, this issue is particularly relevant for santri who rely on WhatsApp for both academic and business communication. This community service initiative was conducted at Al-Mukminun Islamic Boarding School in Nusukan, Surakarta, with the aim of increasing awareness and understanding of safe WhatsApp usage among MSME santri. The program consisted of counseling sessions, which included lectures and interactive discussions tailored to the participants’ needs. Key topics included how to adjust privacy settings, identify suspicious links and messages, protect personal data, and recognize common cyber threats. Participants responded positively to the training. Feedback showed that 80% of them reported they would avoid clicking unknown links in messages. Another 80% stated they would refrain from sharing personal information with strangers. Furthermore, 80% expressed their commitment to regularly updating the WhatsApp application to ensure optimal security features are in place. This program successfully raised awareness and empowered santri with essential knowledge about digital communication safety. It highlights the importance of integrating communication psychology and practical digital literacy into community education to support secure online behavior for young entrepreneurs. Overall, this training shows that a contextual and applicable communication psychology approach is very effective in forming positive digital awareness and behavior in religious-based communities such as MSME students.

This community service activity was carried out with the aim of increasing the capacity of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Panda Village, Palibelo District, Bima Regency, particularly in the culinary MSME sector in terms of preparing digital-based financial reports. MSMEs often face obstacles in maintaining structured financial records, so intervention in the form of appropriate guidance and training is needed. The solution offered in this activity is the use of the General Accounting (AKU) application which is specifically designed to facilitate digital business financial recording. The community service activity was carried out through three main stages, namely: (1) an initial survey to identify the needs and level of understanding of participants regarding financial reports; (2) direct training and mentoring related to the use of the AKU application, which included an introduction to the application features, practice recording transactions, and simulation of creating financial reports; and (3) evaluation of the results of the activity to assess the effectiveness of the training. The results of this activity showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of preparing MSME financial reports. Before the training, only around 20% of participants had a basic understanding of financial recording. After the training, the level of understanding increased to 80%. Furthermore, 100% of participants were able to operate the AKU application effectively, understand its features, and successfully apply it to record transactions and prepare financial reports for their respective businesses. Thus, this activity has had a positive impact on the digital financial literacy of MSMEs and made a real contribution to supporting more professional and sustainable business management. It is hoped that this training can serve as a model for similar programs in other regions.

Entrepreneurship has long been recognized as a driving force for a country's socioeconomic growth, becoming increasingly important in facing the challenges of globalization, which demand creativity and innovation. Fierce competition demands that students, as the younger generation, possess greater competencies to compete in the workforce.
