This study explores how the integrated Resource-Based View (iRBV) and Dynamic Capabilities (DC) explain the early stage of SME internationalization in Indonesia. An exploratory single-case study design is employed on a koi-breeding SME that has engaged in export activities, using a Likert-scale questionnaire to identify VRIN resources, dynamic capabilities, export performance, and internationalization barriers. The findings indicate that the SME possesses relatively strong export market knowledge, network competence, and quality reputation, but remains weak in global certifications, administrative support, and logistical capacity. From a DC perspective, sensing and seizing capabilities are already developed, whereas transforming capability is still limited in terms of reconfiguring the business model, strengthening human resources, and institutionalizing export routines. Overall, the results underscore that the success of SME internationalization is determined not only by the ownership of internal resources, but also by the firm’s ability to reconfigure those resources in the presence of environmental and institutional constraint.

This research addresses a paradoxical phenomenon in Lampung Province's Micro and Small Industry (MSI) sector (2018-2022), where high technology adoption is accompanied by declining business units and income inequality. The objective is to evaluate technical efficiency and productivity changes across 15 regencies/cities using the Variable Returns to Scale (VRS) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model and the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI). Results show an average technical efficiency of 0.838, indicating a 16.2% room for output improvement. Mesuji Regency serves as the benchmark with perfect efficiency. The main inefficiency stems from labor slack (averaging 3,458 people per region), reflecting disguised unemployment. The Malmquist index records an asymmetric productivity growth of 2.1% annually, entirely driven by technological progress (3.5%), while internal managerial efficiency contracted (-1.4%). Consequently, technology adoption requires structural intervention; regional governments must prioritize vocational training and basic managerial strengthening to reduce labor slack and break the MSI inefficiency cycle.

This study aims to examine the influence of investment, labor, and unemployment rates on economic growth in Aceh Province. Economic growth is one of the main indicators in assessing the success of a region's development, so it is important to understand the factors that can influence it. The data used in this study are secondary data in the form of annual data for the period 2009–2023 obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Aceh Province and several related institutions. Data analysis was conducted using the multiple linear regression method with a time series approach. The results of the analysis show that the investment variable has a positive and significant influence on economic growth in Aceh Province, indicating that increased investment can encourage increased regional economic output. The labor variable also has a positive influence on economic growth, although its significance is lower compared to investment. Meanwhile, the unemployment variable has a negative and significant influence on economic growth, which means that increasing unemployment rates can suppress the rate of economic growth in Aceh Province.

The implementation of online zakat payments by BAZNAS Jambi Province faced several challenges, including suboptimal use of the Simba application due to system errors. Additionally, there was a lack of public trust in online zakat payments, insufficient public literacy on the matter, and inadequate socialization and education from BAZNAS Jambi regarding the online payment process. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach, with data collection via interviews. To optimize digital zakat management, BAZNAS Jambi implemented a strategy involving both their website and the SIMBA system, offering two digital payment options: transfers and QRIS codes. They also pursued partnerships with companies and promoted zakat payments through social media platforms such as YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, Google Ads, Meta Ads, as well as TVRI and RRI television. However, there were challenges, including human resource limitations at BAZNAS Jambi, which resulted in delays when verifying factual data. Additionally, high IT operational costs limited the effectiveness of SIMBA and the website. The coordination issues, including both functional and institutional coordination, were also identified as significant problems. To address these challenges, BAZNAS Jambi has been working on solutions such as community education, socializing zakat management with the public and local government agencies (OPDs), and improving internal coordination.         

This study aims to evaluate the sharia financial service strategy of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Banjarnegara Branch through the VRIO and PEST approaches, in order to identify internal advantages and external dynamics that affect the competitiveness of the institution. Using a qualitative-descriptive method, this study reveals that BSI Banjarnegara has a sustainable competitive advantage through sharia-based products that are difficult to imitate, a wide community network, and a personal service approach. In addition, the results of the PEST analysis show that political support, stable economic conditions, and the level of community religiosity are great opportunities for the growth of sharia finance in the region, although the level of digital technology adoption is still a challenge. The strategy of strengthening digitalization, education of sharia financial literacy, and product innovation such as Cicil Emas are the main keys in responding to market challenges and increasing financial inclusion. Thus, the results of this study provide a strategic direction for the development of sustainable and adaptive sharia services to changes in the business environment.    

Industrialization has been a major driver in Indonesia’s transition from an agrarian to a modern economy. Its contribution to productivity growth, job creation, and economic diversification makes it a strategic component of national development. The integration between industry and other sectors such as agriculture, services, trade, and labor proves essential in strengthening competitiveness and achieving inclusive growth. Findings indicate that despite its potential, industrialization in Indonesia still faces challenges such as import dependency, limited skilled labor, and regional disparities. Therefore, future industrial strategies should focus on enhancing sectoral linkages, promoting equitable development, and improving human capital and infrastructure capacity to support sustainable economic growth.
