Butgeting is an important instrument in managing retail businesses such as Toko Harapan Teknik Boyolali, as it functions as a tool for planning, control, and evaluation of company performance. Budget effectiveness is influenced by both internal and external factors of the organization. This study aims to analyze the effect of company performance and environmental uncertainty on budget effectiveness at Toko Harapan Teknik Boyolali. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method by reviewing and synthesizing information from various sources, including books, scientific journals, and previous studies. The results indicate that company performance has a positive effect on budget effectiveness, as good performance supports more realistic and accurate budget preparation. In addition, environmental uncertainty, such as changes in market conditions, business competition, demand fluctuations, and economic dynamics, can hinder budget effectiviness.

Therefore, companies need to improve performance and implement flexible and adaptive budgeting systems to address environmental uncertainty.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in driving economic growth; however, their production activities frequently face uncertainty in achieving predetermined targets. Such uncertainty arises from fluctuating market demand, delays in raw material supply, labor limitations, variations in processing time, and other technical constraints. Conventional deterministic production planning methods often fail to capture these real-world risks and variations, leading to less accurate and suboptimal decisions. Therefore, a more adaptive analytical approach that incorporates probability and uncertainty is required. This study aims to analyze the probability of achieving MSME production targets using the Monte Carlo Simulation method. This method models random production conditions by generating data based on probability distributions derived from historical records. Simulations are repeated through numerous iterations to estimate possible variations in production output and measure the likelihood of meeting targets. The results indicate that Monte Carlo simulation provides more realistic and comprehensive production forecasts compared to traditional planning approaches. By understanding both the probability of success and potential risks, MSMEs can design adaptive strategies, optimize resource allocation, manage inventory more effectively, and improve overall production planning accuracy to ensure long-term business sustainability in a dynamic environment.

Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a crucial role in ensuring that a company is able to grow, compete, and sustain its operations in an increasingly dynamic business environment. Effective HRM practices help organizations optimize employee performance, improve productivity, and maintain workforce stability. One of the key aspects of HRM that significantly influences employee performance is workload and job satisfaction. An imbalance in workload or low levels of job satisfaction may lead to decreased motivation, stress, and reduced work performance. This research aims to explore and evaluate the levels of workload and job satisfaction among employees at PT Indomarco Tangerang 1. Understanding these factors is essential to identify potential problems that may affect employee performance and organizational effectiveness. The study employs a quantitative research approach, which involves collecting numerical data that can be statistically analyzed to provide objective and measurable results. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires distributed to employees. A total of 30 employees from various divisions at PT Indomarco Tangerang 1 participated in this study. Statistical analysis was used to assess the relationship between workload and job satisfaction, as well as their overall condition within the company. The findings of this research are expected to provide useful insights for management in developing appropriate strategies to manage workload effectively and enhance job satisfaction. Ultimately, improving these aspects is expected to contribute to higher employee performance and support the long-term success of the company.

Focusing on Yuli Bakery, this study aims to examine in depth how production planning budgets and cost effectiveness influence business profitability, particularly in the food and bakery industry sector. This research is based on the assumption that effective production planning can optimize the utilization of available resources, minimize raw material waste, and establish more efficient and structured business operational performance. The study explores the implementation of labor management, raw material management, and production process control oriented toward cost efficiency without reducing product quality, thereby enabling sustainable profitability improvement. The results of the analysis show that Yuli Bakery successfully reduced its cost of goods sold (COGS) by IDR 12,800,000, which directly contributed to an increase in operating profit and gross profit. This cost reduction did not affect overall production volume nor generate additional expenses in other cost components. These findings indicate that even in the absence of significant revenue growth, cost optimization through proper production planning can make a substantial contribution to improving Yuli Bakery’s profitability.

The creative economy industry serves as a strategic pillar of the national economy, experiencing significant transformation in the digital era. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the pattern of human resource (HR) competency gaps within priority subsectors of Indonesia's creative economy and formulate effective, multi-stakeholder development strategies. Employing a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, this research rigorously analyzes 30 scientific journal articles, government reports, and publications from global institutions published between 2014 and 2024. The findings delineate three primary clusters of competency gaps: (1) The Digital-Technical Competency Gap, encompassing deficiencies in data analytics, specialized software mastery, and digital content creation tools; (2) The Digital-Business Competency Gap, which includes shortcomings in digital financial literacy, online business model development, and management of digital intellectual property rights; and (3) The Social-Cognitive Competency Gap, highlighting needs in adaptability, complex problem-solving, and effective virtual collaboration. In response, this paper proposes an integrative strategic framework grounded in a collaborative multi-stakeholder approach. Key recommendations include revitalizing educational curricula through industry-embedded learning and micro-credential integration, developing agile and accessible training ecosystems featuring bootcamps and digital platforms, and fostering supportive policies through fiscal incentives and the alignment of national qualification frameworks with digital skill standards. The successful implementation of this synergistic strategy is expected to significantly enhance the adaptability, innovation capacity, and global competitiveness of Indonesia's creative workforce, thereby ensuring the sustainable growth of the creative economy sector in the face of rapid digital disruption.
