This study aims to analyze the role of internet technology in enhancing the competitiveness of ebusiness in Indonesia, particularly in the sector of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Based on theoretical reviews, internet technology, e-business, technology adoption (TAM), and the concept of competitiveness serve as the main foundations for understanding the ongoing digital transformation. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a purposive sampling technique, involving five informants consisting of digital SME owners, online store managers, and users of service platforms. Data were collected through interviews and observations, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the internet plays a crucial role as an essential infrastructure that enhances marketing effectiveness, expands market reach, and improves operational efficiency. Marketplaces, social media, and delivery-service platforms contribute significantly to sales growth and service quality. However, challenges such as low digital literacy, platform commission fees, changes in social media algorithms, and uneven infrastructure development still limit optimal utilization. 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.

The intervention generated a positive net profit and strengthened the partner’s capacity for independent business management. This study contributes to the literature by positioning traditional food MSMEs as sites of cultural innovation and micro-governance, while supporting Sustainable Development Goals related to inclusive economic growth, cultural preservation, and responsible production.

This study aims to analyze the opportunities, threats, strengths, and weaknesses of Arch Barbershop, a modern barbershop in Maumere City.

Business is an economic activity carried out by individuals or organizations to produce and sell goods or services with the aim of making a profit. The NSH Group Store is a business that sells carpets, pillows, bolsters, and dolls located in the Sei Dadap I/II Plantation, Sei Dadap District, Asahan Regency, North Sumatra 21225. The NSH Group Store was established in 2016 and is owned by Mrs. Siti Komariah Siregar. Among the challenges faced by the NSH Group Store owner are irregular stock procurement. Sales transaction processes still use conventional methods, reducing efficiency and time effectiveness, and potentially leading to data errors. Supply Chain Management is a series of approaches used to efficiently integrate suppliers so that goods can be distributed in the right quantities, locations, and at the right time, with the aim of minimizing overall system costs. A bolster pillow is a pillow that can function as both a pillow and a bolster. Bolster pillows are oval and long, so they can be hugged while sleeping. The benefits of a bolster pillow include maintaining a proper sleeping position, reducing pressure on joints, helping reduce aches, improving sleep quality, and improving overall health. Therefore, by implementing Supply Chain Management (SCM), data processing will be faster and more accurate.

This study aims to analyze the profitability and feasibility of sheep farming using intensive and semi-intensive rearing sistems in Suka Raya Village, Pancur Batu Sub-district. The research employed a survey method with purposive sampling, involving 16 farmers (8 intensive and 8 semi-intensive), each rearing more than 15 sheep and operating for at least 3 years. Data were collected through questionnaire interviews and field observations, then analyzed descriptively to calculate production costs, revenue, income, R/C ratio, and Break Even Point (BEP). Results showed that the average total production cost for the intensive sistem was Rp 52,429,313, higher than the semi-intensive sistem at Rp 39,664,375. The average revenue for the intensive sistem was Rp 69,150,000, while the semi-intensive sistem was Rp 63,712,500. The average income for intensive farmers was Rp 16,720,688, compared to Rp 24,048,125 for semi-intensive farmers. The average R/C ratio for the intensive sistem was 1 (near break-even), while the semi-intensive sistem was 2 (more efficient and profitable). BEP analysis indicated higher sales for the intensive sistem (Rp 844,022/sheep/period) compared to the semi-intensive sistem (Rp 691,052/sheep/period), with a larger production BEP for the intensive sistem (44 sheep) than the semi-intensive sistem (33 sheep). The semi-intensive sistem is recommended for farmers with limited capital and small to medium-scale operations due to lower costs and higher profit margins, while the intensive sistem is more suitable for large-scale operations with adequate capital, feed management, and health care.

This study aims to examine the effect of accounts payable, profitability, and Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) on audit fees in FMCG Food & Beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2020–2024. A quantitative method using multiple linear regression was applied, supported by classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests which indicated that the model is statistically valid. The regression results show that accounts payable significantly affects audit fees (sig 0.002), while profitability (sig 0.286) and OCI (sig 0.064) have no significant partial effect. Simultaneously, all variables significantly influence audit feeswith an F-test value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.576 indicates that 57.6% of audit fee variation is explained by the independent variables. These findings highlight that company risk, reflected in higher accounts payable, is the primary determinant of audit fees in the FMCG sector.

This study analyzes the forms of risk and risk management strategies in melon farming in Brebes as an impact of climate change. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied using a case study through in-depth interviews with a farmer who has more than ten years of experience, supported by secondary data from BPS, BAPPENAS, and related literature.

Current strategies are still basic, including fertilization, pesticide application, and water channel arrangement. Strengthening adaptation is needed through irrigation technology, climate-resilient varieties, marketing diversification, and improved access to information and institutional support.
