Competition law is an important instrument in maintaining healthy and fair market dynamics, especially in the era of globalization marked by increasingly competitive economic growth. This article discusses how business competition takes place at the regional level, with particular attention to the obstacles faced by small entrepreneurs in facing the dominance of established companies. The competition that emerges is not only limited to price issues, but also involves difficulties in accessing capital, distribution networks, technology, and unfavorable regulations. Existing companies generally have strong structural strengths and networks, which create major barriers for new entrants. In addition, there are signs of unfair competitive practices that can threaten the survival of small businesses. However, advances in technology and digitalization are opening up new avenues for small entrepreneurs to enter the market and establish direct relationships with customers. This article aims to identify various forms of business competition at the local level, analyze the opportunities and challenges that exist, and develop strategies that encourage the creation of a healthy and inclusive competitive environment for the sustainability of local economic growth.

Indonesian local culture, which is the heritage of the younger generation as a national identity, is now facing serious threats due to globalization and modernization. The young generation in this era of globalization tends to be indifferent and even abandon traditional cultural values and prefer foreign cultures that are considered cooler and more modern. This can certainly make the Indonesian nation an identity crisis. Therefore, this research was carried out with the aim of analyzing the extent to which local culture began to be abandoned by the Indonesian people as a young generation. The research method used is a literature study. This method is done by analyzing various sources such as scientific journals, books, and relevant articles. Then, the results of this literature study review show that local culture has been degraded due to the dominance of global culture. This will certainly have implications for the weakening of the nation's identity. The preservation of local culture requires the active role of education and digital media as a means of spreading the nation's noble values.

In an effort to understand the richness of local culture that continues to survive amid the tides of changing times, this study examines the philosophical meaning of the traditional expression Panjang Tong Dipotong, Pondok Tong Disambung as a foundational value in cultural preservation in the Cikondang Indigenous Village. This research aims to reveal how this philosophy is applied in the daily lives of the community and its role in maintaining cultural continuity. The study was conducted using a qualitative method with an ethnographic approach, and data were collected through in-depth interviews with several informants from the Cikondang Indigenous Village community. The findings show that the expression is not only a symbol of tradition but also serves as a guiding principle that preserves cultural heritage in an intact and adaptive manner amidst the forces of globalization and modernization.

Public finance is a key element in state governance, especially in the collection and allocation of funds for public services and government. In the Islamic tradition, the concept of public finance has developed since the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW with sharia principles such as justice, transparency, and accountability to achieve prosperity (falah) in the world and the hereafter. In the modern era, Islamic public finance faces new challenges and opportunities, especially through digitalization and economic globalization. Technologies such as blockchain and big data open up opportunities to increase the effectiveness and openness of Islamic public financial management. Innovations in sharia financial instruments such as zakat, waqf, and sukuk further strengthen the contribution of Islamic public finance to social and economic development. However, challenges such as low public understanding of sharia finance, gaps in access to technology, and the need for supporting regulations and infrastructure are still obstacles. Issues of fiscal sustainability, debt management, and the development of adaptive sharia instruments are also important concerns in the dynamics of the global economy.

Civic education plays a central role in shaping responsible and politically aware citizens. Amid the challenges of globalization, it serves as a strategic tool to enhance civic engagement. This article aims to examine the contribution of civic education in promoting civic engagement in Indonesia. Using a qualitative approach through literature review, this study analyzes various research findings and theoretical frameworks related to the relationship between civic education and socio-political participation. The findings indicate that effective civic education can develop civic competencies, including knowledge, critical thinking skills, and positive civic dispositions. These competencies significantly influence citizens' awareness and active participation in democratic life. Contextual and progressive strategies and curricula are needed to ensure civic education can adapt to social dynamics and serve as a platform for shaping democratic and inclusive citizen character.

This study aims to examine the role of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) in the formation of students' character in the era of globalization which is full of value challenges due to technological developments and information flows. Globalization has had a significant impact on the morality of the younger generation, so that religious-based character education is becoming increasingly important. Using a qualitative research method based on literature studies, data were collected from various relevant scientific literature sources and analyzed thematically. The results of the study indicate that PAI plays a central role in instilling students' faith, morality, and social values ​​through value-based learning, habituation of worship, and teacher role models. However, globalization is a contextual factor that can weaken or strengthen this influence depending on the implementation strategy. These findings strengthen Lickona's character education theory and Bandura's social learning theory, and show the importance of an adaptive and contextual approach in teaching PAI. The implications of this study are the need to develop a more innovative, integrative, and collaborative PAI curriculum and learning strategy between schools, families, and communities so that religious values ​​remain firmly embedded in students amidst the challenges of globalization.

Early science education has a strategic role in forming critical and innovative thinking patterns in children as a provision to face challenges in the era of globalization and technological advancement. However, the implementation of the scientific approach at the early childhood education (PAUD) and elementary school levels still faces various obstacles, such as limited teacher knowledge, lack of contextual learning facilities, and teaching methods that tend to be one-way. In fact, childhood is a phase of cognitive development that is very potential to foster curiosity and scientific thinking skills. The low science literacy scores of Indonesian students in international studies indicate the need for intervention from an early age. Therefore, community service programs that aim to build a foundation for children's science from an early age are very important. This program includes teacher training, development of learning media, and exploratory activities based on simple experiments that are appropriate to the world of children. Through this approach, it is hoped that a young generation can be created who not only understand science conceptually, but also have the ability to think critically, creatively, and find solutions in facing problems in the future.

Indonesia is widely recognized as a diverse country with differences in ethnicity, religion, culture, and language. This diversity, while being a national strength, can also create social tension if not properly managed. In this context, Pancasila plays an essential role as a guiding principle in maintaining social harmony. This study aims to explore how Pancasila contributes to creating harmony within Indonesia’s diverse society. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review of recent academic sources. The findings indicate that the values of tolerance, unity, and social justice embedded in Pancasila are still relevant and influential in shaping harmonious social interactions. However, in reality, the implementation of these values has not been fully optimal, especially due to the influence of globalization and the rapid development of digital technology. This study suggests that strengthening Pancasila-based education and increasing public awareness are necessary to maintain social balance. Therefore, continuous efforts are needed so that the values of Pancasila remain alive and practiced in everyday life.

This article discusses the purpose-oriented church model as a relevant strategy in facing the challenges and dynamics of the church in the modern era. In the context of globalization, secularism, and rapid social change, many churches face an identity crisis and declining congregational engagement. The purpose-oriented model offers a systematic approach to strengthening the church's mission through a clear vision, effective strategy formulation, and active congregational participation. The research method used in this study is an in-depth literature analysis, covering various sources such as scriptures, contemporary theological books, and scholarly articles related to church transformation. In addition, this study evaluates several case studies of churches that have successfully implemented this model to better reach and serve their communities. The results of the study indicate that churches that apply the principles of the purpose-oriented model are not only able to increase congregational engagement but can also adapt better to the needs of the ever-evolving community. Thus, this article becomes a reference source for church leaders and academics in designing effective strategies for church transformation and growth in the future.

Research on the preservation of local culture amidst globalization emphasizes the importance of a systematic educational strategy aligned with government policy. The main focus of this study is the role of educational institutions in introducing and maintaining the sustainability of Simalungun culture, considering that the cultural knowledge of the younger generation is declining due to modernization and the influence of the media. The research objective was to develop and evaluate SIMALOKA, an artificial intelligence-based framework with a teacher-in-the-loop approach that integrates Simalungun language, arts, rituals, and crafts into both formal and non-formal curricula. The method used combines natural language processing to tag content, a knowledge graph to map cultural concepts and skills, and a multi-objective optimization algorithm to develop balanced learning modules according to the cultural calendar. The system was tested using a dataset containing 1,850 cultural learning objects and produced modules with an average cultural coverage deviation of 3.4%, a content relevance score of 0.92, and an engagement rate of 87.1%, superior to two state-of-the-art baseline models. The results show that the combination of AI-based optimization and human validation can maintain cultural authenticity while significantly increasing student participation. These findings strengthen the hypothesis that context-sensitive, technology-based curriculum design can strengthen local cultural identity without neglecting educational policy demands. The study's conclusions confirm that SIMALOKA is a large-scale model that can be adapted to other local cultures, providing important implications for policymakers, educators, and cultural organizations in maintaining the sustainability of cultural heritage. Future research directions are directed at assessing long-term retention, resource constraints, and cross-cultural adaptation to make cultural preservation more inclusive and effective.

This paper provides a comprehensive examination of the concept and implementation of skill management as a cohesive set of competencies encompassing technical, interpersonal, conceptual, and strategic skills within organizational and entrepreneurial contexts. The background highlights the critical role of skill management in addressing the challenges posed by a highly competitive and rapidly evolving business environment, where mastery of these competencies determines both individual and organizational effectiveness in planning, organizing, leading, and controlling resources to achieve collective objectives. Grounded in a literature review of seminal works by Robbins & Coulter, Katz, Drucker, Mintzberg, Armstrong, and Barney & Hesterly, this study adopts a structured approach that covers definitions, classification of skill types, their roles in organizations, development strategies, implementation challenges, and applications in entrepreneurship. The findings indicate that: (1) technical, human, and conceptual skills are complementary across different managerial levels; (2) skill development requires a blend of formal education, field practice, mentorship, and technology utilization; (3) primary challenges include technological adaptation, complexity of decision-making, and limitations in training resources; and (4) in entrepreneurial ventures, effective skill management is fundamental to planning, finance, human resources, innovation, and communication. In conclusion, skill management should not be viewed as a static competency but as a strategic asset that must be continuously enhanced through lifelong learning, enabling both individuals and organizations to sustain growth and resilience in the era of globalization and digital transformation.

The use of foreign languages in the hospitality industry is very important considering the development of globalization and the increasing need for cross-country communication.

The research method used in this study is through a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey questionnaire to students majoring in Hospitality. The results showed that foreign languages have been integrated in the hospitality study program, the use of foreign languages is implemented through practice-based learning, hotel service simulations, and conversation habituation in foreign languages. However, challenges such as lack of student motivation and limited practice environment are still encountered. The implications of this study suggest the need to increase the intensity of language practice with more interactive teaching methods, as well as the provision of facilities that support foreign language learning, in order to improve students' language skills in the field of hospitality and prepare them to face the demands of the global hospitality industry.

This study examines in depth the history and development of Kaing Lunggi—the local term for songket cloth—in the Sambas region, West Kalimantan. This study has two main focuses. First, tracing the history of the cloth and textile trade in Southeast Asia that became the background for the entry of external influences into the Sambas region. Second, understanding how Kaing Lunggi emerged, developed, and transformed within the social, economic, and cultural contexts of the local community. Using a historical approach and textile cultural analysis, this study positions Kaing Lunggi as a cultural product born from the dynamics of regional trade since the Sambas Sultanate era. Historical records show that trade networks during that period connected Sambas with major trading centers such as Malacca, Singapore, and the coastal areas of Borneo. Through this route, there was an exchange of raw materials, weaving techniques, and decorative motifs that were then adapted by local artisans. The process of aculturation is visible in Kaing Lunggi motifs that combine local elements with external influences, such as typical Indonesian flora and fauna combined with geometric patterns and typical Malay stylization. The songket weaving technique demonstrates high skill and has been passed down through generations, making it an important part of intangible cultural heritage. Besides its economic value as a trade commodity, Kaing Lunggi also holds a symbolic role. It is worn in various traditional ceremonies, religious celebrations, and as a marker of social status in Sambas society. The use of color, gold thread, and the complexity of the motifs serve as indicators of the wearer's identity and prestige. The results of this study confirm that traditional textiles such as Kaing Lunggi function not only as cultural artifacts but also as active agents in shaping the history and identity of the community. They represent cross-cultural encounters and serve as evidence of the resilience of local traditions amidst globalization.

In the era of globalization, the tourism sector is experiencing rapid growth and requires a workforce that not only has technical skills, but also intercultural communication abilities. The ability to master more than one language or multilingualism is a crucial skill for tourism students to compete in an increasingly competitive job market. The purpose of this study was to analyze the role of multilingualism in expanding career opportunities for tourism students at STIEPAR. The method applied was a survey using a questionnaire addressed to tourism students. The results of the study showed that all respondents (100%) considered the importance of foreign language skills in the world of tourism. Many students believe that their multilingual ability increases their competitiveness and helps prepare them to face the work challenges that exist in the global industry. However, there are challenges such as lack of opportunities for hands-on practice and adequate language learning facilities. The results of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening the foreign language curriculum in tourism education institutions, as well as the need for policy support and external collaboration to create a learning atmosphere that is active, relevant, and in line with industry demands.

In the digital era and the Industrial Revolution 4.0 towards Society 5.0, innovation becomes crucial, but many young people are still trapped in consuming information immediately without sufficient analytical skills. The absence of a culture of literacy and reading causes innovation that is only based on imitation. The initial message of Islam "Iqra' wa rabbukal-akram" (Read, and your Lord is Most Gracious) provides a solution, emphasizing that reading is the key to gaining knowledge, broadening your views, and developing critical thinking. Reading includes observing nature, social phenomena, and the signs of God's power, which require reflective thinking. The history of Islamic civilization shows progress triggered by the spirit of "iqra'," which gave birth to famous scholars such as Ibn Sina and Al-Khawarizmi. In the current era of globalization and technological challenges, these values ​​are becoming increasingly crucial. Al-'Alaq 3 serves as an eternal call to develop critical thinking as a moral and spiritual responsibility, linking contemporary innovation with the ability to read critically. This article is intended to analyze QS. Al-'Alaq 3 as the basis of critical thinking in Islam, encourages scientific research and creative expression of gratitude. This study applies qualitative literature methods, which combine Islamic literature and contemporary critical thinking.
