From a policy perspective, the study recommends strengthening digital infrastructure and improving national digital literacy. This research emphasizes that the success of e-business depends on technology access, human resource competence, and support through public policy. It can be concluded that internet technology serves as a vital foundation for e-business competitiveness in the digital era.

This study examines the price elasticity of fresh cow’s milk on the demand for raw materials at Anisa Yoghurt Company using a demand theory approach. Milk is the main input in yoghurt production, making price fluctuations potentially influential on production decisions. The objective of this research is to analyze the responsiveness of raw milk demand to price changes and to identify the elasticity characteristics of milk demand in a small-scale food processing business. This study employs a quantitative case study method using primary data collected through weekly observations of milk prices and quantities purchased over a three-month period, from September to November. The analysis applies the midpoint elasticity formula to measure price elasticity of demand. The findings indicate that the demand for raw milk is consistently inelastic across the observed periods, as shown by elasticity values with absolute magnitudes less than one. Both price decreases and increases result in relatively small changes in the quantity demanded, indicating low sensitivity of demand to price fluctuations. These results suggest that raw milk is an essential production input, and purchasing decisions are driven more by production needs than by short-term price changes. The study implies that yoghurt producers should prioritize supply stability and production efficiency rather than adjusting purchase volumes in response to minor price changes. This research contributes empirical evidence on demand elasticity in dairy-based agro-industries, particularly at the small enterprise level.

The development and revitalization of the Sungai Asam drainage system in Jambi City face serious problems in the form of river sedimentation and limited channel capacity, which trigger flooding. These conditions necessitated a design change for bank protection from revetment to a retaining wall (Dinding Penahan Tanah/DPT) in the SA223 to SA228 segment. This study aims to analyze the construction cost and implementation duration of the DPT resulting from the design change. The theoretical framework covers retaining wall concepts, cost estimation (Bill of Quantities), and construction project scheduling. A descriptive-analytical method was applied using secondary data, including design drawings, work volumes, the 2025 Water Resources and Human Settlements Unit Price Analysis (AHSP), the 2025 Jambi Provincial Standard Unit Prices, and time analysis using the S-Curve and Critical Path Method (CPM). The results indicate that the total construction cost of the DPT in the SA223–SA228 segment is IDR 9.524.259.092,02, while the project duration is determined based on the critical path identified through CPM analysis. The discussion confirms that the design change significantly affects work complexity, construction costs, and schedule adjustments. The study concludes that systematic and measurable cost and time analyses are essential as a technical basis for decision-making in river revitalization projects to ensure effectiveness, efficiency, and the sustainability of flood control infrastructure.

Finally, during the Refreezing phase, the values ​​of independence and professionalism are institutionalized within the boarding school's culture. Key factors contributing to its success are visionary leadership, a culture of student autonomy, and alumni support; obstacles encountered include internal resistance and a lack of resources. Overall, Darunnajah has succeeded in becoming an adaptive and productive model of modern da'wah that remains rooted in Islamic values.

Transformational leadership has a strong and positive impact on employee performance across various organizational sectors. This leadership style, which is based on four main dimensions—Idealized Influence, Inspirational Motivation, Intellectual Stimulation, and Individualized Consideration plays a very important role in creating a shared vision, driving high internal motivation, and producing positive change. Research shows that this positive influence is often affected by factors such as commitment to the organization, job involvement, and organizational behavior. By encouraging employees to put aside personal interests to achieve collective goals, transformational leaders enhance effectiveness, productivity, and the quality of work outcomes. Bass's theory (1985) states that this leadership style drives performance beyond normal expectations. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the application of transformational leadership style is crucial for organizational management in efforts to improve the quality of human resources. Companies are advised to conduct leadership training that focuses on developing emotional intelligence and visionary communication skills for managers.

Formal organizational structures are crucial for ensuring the effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability of work processes within an institution. However, many organizations still face challenges such as overlapping tasks, ineffective communication, and inadequate control mechanisms. This study aims to analyze formal organizational structure design strategies through systematic steps, implementation mechanisms, and ongoing evaluation.
