The findings indicate that dividend policy, investment decisions, and leverage have a positive impact on firm value within Indonesia's manufacturing industry. This study provides empirical support for both the pecking order theory and agency theory.

Matrix organizational structures are increasingly being used by multinational companies in response to the complexities of global account management (GAM). This article explores the challenges and opportunities in implementing a matrix structure for GAM through a qualitative, case study-based approach. The study was conducted across four global companies in the technology and manufacturing sectors. The results show that matrix structures enhance cross-functional and cross-regional coordination, but also create role conflict, authority ambiguity, and high communication burden. This study provides strategic insights for top management to balance the need for global integration and local adaptation in the context of global strategic account management.

This study analyzes the effect of green accounting, carbon emission disclosure, and environmental performance on firm value. The research is motivated by growing awareness of environmental sustainability, climate change concerns, and the demand for corporate transparency and accountability in managing environmental impacts. Firms are expected not only to achieve financial goals but also to actively manage environmental responsibilities to create long-term value for stakeholders. The research sample consists of 64 manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2021–2023 that meet the purposive sampling criteria and provide complete sustainability and annual reports. A quantitative approach is used with secondary data from annual and sustainability reports. The independent variables are green accounting (X1), carbon emission disclosure (X2), and environmental performance (X3), while the dependent variable is firm value (Y), measured by Tobin’s Q ratio. Multiple linear regression analysis is applied along with classical assumption testing to ensure reliability, followed by partial and simultaneous hypothesis testing. The results indicate that green accounting has no significant effect on firm value, implying that adopting green accounting alone may not influence investor perceptions without broader environmental initiatives. Conversely, carbon emission disclosure and environmental performance have a positive and significant effect on firm value, showing that transparent reporting and measurable environmental improvements can strengthen market confidence. The R² value is 4.4%, suggesting other factors also contribute to firm value. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly affect firm value, highlighting the combined importance of environmental responsibility. The findings provide practical insights for managers, investors, and policymakers: implementing sustainability practices, particularly carbon emission disclosure and improved environmental performance, can enhance investor trust, strengthen corporate reputation, and ultimately increase firm value in the competitive market.

This study investigates the impact of real and accrual earnings management on idiosyncratic risk, with a focus on the moderating role of good corporate governance, proxied by managerial ownership, in manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2020 to 2022. Using moderated regression analysis, the findings reveal that both real and accrual earnings management practices negatively affect idiosyncratic risk, suggesting that earnings management may serve as a risk mitigation tool under efficient contracting perspectives. However, managerial ownership exhibits divergent effects: while it strengthens the risk-reducing impact of real earnings management, it unexpectedly amplifies the idiosyncratic risk associated with accrual earnings management, potentially due to managerial motivations to meet financial targets. These results highlight the complex role of corporate governance in earnings management, as it may act as both a stabilizing and risk-amplifying factor depending on the type of earnings management practiced. The study underscores the need for stakeholders to critically evaluate earnings management and corporate governance practices, while encouraging future research to include additional variables to further explain idiosyncratic risk determinants. The study's Adjusted R Square value of 8.1% indicates that other significant factors affecting idiosyncratic risk were not captured in this analysis.

The quality of financial reporting has become increasingly important in the digital era, particularly for manufacturing companies facing complex operational challenges. The implementation of accounting information systems (AIS) and human resource competency are critical factors that may influence financial reporting quality. This study aims to examine the effect of accounting information systems implementation and human resource competency on the financial reporting quality of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This quantitative study employed a survey design with primary and secondary data collection. The sample consisted of 150 manufacturing companies listed on IDX during 2020-2023, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to finance managers and financial statement analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The findings indicate that accounting information systems implementation has a significant positive effect on financial reporting quality (β = 0.456, p < 0.01). Human resource competency also shows a significant positive effect on financial reporting quality (β = 0.387, p < 0.01). The simultaneous effect of both variables explains 68.7% of the variance in financial reporting quality (R² = 0.687, F = 165.42, p < 0.01). Both accounting information systems implementation and human resource competency significantly enhance financial reporting quality. Manufacturing companies should prioritize investing in advanced AIS technology and developing human resource competencies to improve their financial reporting quality.

This study examines the ef ectiveness of the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP) and Regency/City Minimum Wage (UMR) policies in alleviating poverty in Indonesia, using an in-depth literature study approach. Indonesia, as the fourth most populous country in the world and the largest economy in Southeast Asia, faces major challenges in reducing income inequality and poverty, especially after the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The UMP and UMR policies are designed to provide a decent standard of living for workers, but their impacts vary widely across provinces and economic sectors. This study finds that while the minimum wage policy can provide benefits for formal sector workers, its ef ectiveness in reducing poverty in the informal sector is limited, given that around 60% of Indonesia's workforce works in the informal sector that is not covered by this policy. In addition, this policy also has the potential to cause economic dislocation in areas with significant income inequality. Economic sectors that rely on cheap labor, such as manufacturing and agriculture, are vulnerable to the negative impacts of this policy. This study suggests adjusting the minimum wage policy to be more flexible and based on local economic conditions to maximize the impact of poverty alleviation.

The method applied in this study is Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and this work examines the pertinent literature between 2020 and 2024. The sources included here were Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar while using the following keywords; digital communication and profitability. The findings indicate that firms that engage in anticipatory digital media communication receive higher customer interactions of between 10-30% and continued patronage and sales. Furthermore, AI and big data help organizations tailor their communication strategies, maximize CLV and minimize operation expenditures. However, the study also revealed that digital skills’ dearth and organizational reluctance to embrace digital technology are a thorn for firms, particularly MSMEs, regarding the appropriate execution of digital communication strategies. Based on the findings of this study, the conclusion is that enhanced digital communication can enhance the profitability of the company as long as adequate technological platform and increased digitization of company’s employees are in place. As for the suggestions for future research, they include examining the effects of data privacy legislation on Digital Communications Planning and analyzing how manufacturing and, especially, financial service industries can leverage Digital Technology to create a sustainable competitive advantage.

The turret machine is one type of lathe that has The main characteristic is that the tool for sequential operations can be set in readiness for use in the appropriate sequence. This turret machine is intended for cutting, drilling and smoothing work pieces. The process of making this collar aims to find out what material is used and the function of the collar. In the process, the iron is clamped with a chuck then the drill which is located on the loose head is brought close to the workpiece then the chuck rotates so that the workpiece has a hole with an inner diameter of 11.2 mm, after that the workpiece is sprayed with bromus liquid to ensure that the workpiece does not rust easily and does not experience excessive heat which can damage the workpiece. Entering the next stage, the workpiece is cut to a length of 9 mm, and the next process is that the workpiece is placed in a jumper. The cumper process functions to smooth the workpiece so that it is not rough before entering quality control. After that, the object enters quality control. In quality control, the work object is measured using a jig measuring tool to determine whether the work object is OK or NG. The aim of this process is to make quality spare parts that are safe to use. The disadvantage of the turret machine is that it is a manual process that requires hand speed and expertise in operating the turret machine..
