This study aims to analyze the financial distress condition of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk during the period 2015–2024 using the Springate and Grover models. The research employs a quantitative descriptive approach with secondary data obtained from the company’s annual financial statements. Financial distress analysis is conducted by calculating financial ratios included in each model to describe the company’s financial condition over the observation period. The results indicate that PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk experienced financial distress during several periods, particularly before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, which was reflected in weakened liquidity, declining profitability, and reduced efficiency in asset utilization. However, following the financial restructuring process after 2021, both the Springate and Grover models show an improvement in the company’s financial condition, indicating a transition toward a more stable non-distress status. Although the Springate and Grover models use different financial indicators and classification approaches, both are able to descriptively capture the dynamics of financial distress experienced by the company. The differences in classification results reflect the distinct focus of each model, where the Springate model is more sensitive to liquidity and operational performance, while the Grover model emphasizes asset profitability. Therefore, the combined use of both models provides a more comprehensive overview of the financial distress condition of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk during the research period.

The restructuring of Indonesian state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and their subsidiaries following the establishment of Danantara has generated new organizational demands, particularly regarding employees’ psychological preparedness for change. This article develops a quantitative research framework to examine the effects of change communication, transformational leadership, job insecurity, and organizational culture on employees’ readiness for change, with perceived organizational support serving as a moderating variable. The study is designed as an explanatory survey targeting employees of PT Krakatau Steel subsidiaries affected by restructuring. Data are intended to be collected using a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The article proposes that change communication, transformational leadership, and organizational culture positively influence readiness for change, whereas job insecurity exerts a negative effect. In addition, perceived organizational support is expected to strengthen the positive effects of change communication, transformational leadership, and organizational culture while attenuating the negative effect of job insecurity. The article contributes to the organizational behavior literature by offering a contextually grounded framework for understanding employee responses to restructuring in SOE subsidiaries. It further highlights the strategic importance of organizational support in sustaining employees’ readiness to navigate changes in governance, work systems, and organizational direction.

The digital transformation of public administration represents a critical pathway toward modernizing governance, enhancing service delivery, and improving transparency in Indonesian government agencies. This study examines the current state of digital transformation initiatives across various levels of government in Indonesia, identifying key challenges and opportunities in implementing digital technologies within bureaucratic structures. Through a convergent parallel mixed-methods design combining surveys of 245 government officials from 32 agencies and in-depth interviews with 28 digital transformation leaders, this research reveals that while Indonesian government agencies have made significant progress, substantial barriers remain including limited digital infrastructure in remote regions, resistance to organizational change, insufficient digital literacy among civil servants, and inadequate legal frameworks. The overall mean maturity score was 2.87 (SD = 0.74), placing the average agency in the 'developing' category, with only 6% reaching the 'optimizing' level. The study identifies critical success factors: strong leadership commitment (β = 0.38, p < 0.001), citizen-centric design, comprehensive change management, and effective public-private partnerships. Findings indicate that successful digital transformation requires not merely technological adoption but fundamental organizational restructuring and cultural shifts toward data-driven decision-making and collaborative governance. Policy recommendations address digital infrastructure investment, human capital development, governance reform, and shared platform utilization. This research contributes to theoretical understanding of digital government in developing nations and provides practical guidance for policymakers navigating the complexities of public sector digitalization.

This study aims to improve the effectiveness of facility arrangement at Pabrik Oncom Bu Nana by analyzing interactions among production activities and designing spatial layouts based on their priority levels. The current layout presents several critical issues, particularly because the equipment sanitation area is combined with the toilet, creating a significant risk of contamination and reducing hygiene during production. In addition, irregular material flow and excessive worker movement lead to inefficient work processes and may affect the quality of the final product. To address these issues, this study employs the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) to evaluate the functional closeness among production areas, as well as the Total Closeness Rating (TCR) to determine facility placement priorities based on the intensity of inter-stage relationships. The results of the ARC analysis indicate that the fermentation room has the strongest link to the main stages of oncom production, requiring its placement to be closer to the preparation and molding areas. Findings from the TCR further emphasize that fermentation should become the primary focus in the layout redesign. Based on both methods, a more organized layout design is proposed by relocating the fermentation room to the beginning of the production flow, separating the toilet and sanitation room into two distinct areas, and restructuring the storage, molding, and drying spaces. This redesigned layout is expected to enhance cleanliness, improve material flow, and strengthen the operational effectiveness of Pabrik Oncom Bu Nana.

This study analyzes the implementation of the murabahah contract in resolving Non-Performing Financing (NPF) for micro-enterprises through collateral auction at the Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) Ahmad Yani Branch Office, Area Bandung Raya. The primary objective is to analyze the conformity of the auction process with comprehensive Sharia principles (fiqih muamalah), particularly focusing on the final stage of debt resolution. Employing a qualitative-descriptive method, data was gathered through literature review and direct interviews with personnel from the bank's collection and recovery department. The findings indicate that the NPF resolution procedure is conducted systematically and ethically, beginning with warnings, mediation, and intensive restructuring efforts, such as rescheduling and reconditioning, in line with the spirit of ta'awun and Fatwa DSN MUI No. 48/2005. The auction is only performed as a final, likuidatif resort when the customer is non-cooperative or entirely unable to pay after all 3R attempts have failed. Crucially, the process generally aligns with positive regulations and Sharia provisions, including the transparent process of Muzayyadah through KPKNL. Key aspects of Sharia compliance include the bank's commitment to returning any surplus funds from the collateral sale directly to the customer, thereby avoiding ghulul (fraudulent gain), and the provision of the option to waive the remaining debt for customers deemed genuinely unable to fulfill their obligations, in line with Fatwa DSN MUI No 47/DSN-MUI/II/2005. This research provides practical insights for Islamic financial institutions on balancing effectiveness in debt resolution with the imperative of comprehensive Sharia compliance and ethical transactional justice.

The 2020–2024 period is a crucial time for the Indonesian economy, which is facing severe pressure due to the COVID-19 pandemic and global economic dynamics. This study aims to analyze the development of the national economic condition over the past five years through key macroeconomic indicators, such as Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), forest area, industrial sector contribution, high-tech exports, domestic credit, trade in goods, and gross national income per capita (GNI per capita). The method used is descriptive quantitative based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and secondary sources from national and international institutions. The results show that despite a contraction in 2020 due to the pandemic, the recovery process has been rapid since 2021, with stable economic growth in the range of 5% until 2024. Increased GNI per capita, improved foreign investment flows, and the expansion of economic digitalization are key factors strengthening national resilience. However, challenges remain, such as a decline in the industrial sector's contribution and a reduction in forest area. These findings confirm that Indonesia's economic development is moving toward a structural transformation oriented toward sustainability, sector diversification, and social inclusiveness. Overall, the 2020–2024 period reflects a phase of recovery and restructuring of the economic foundations toward achieving the Vision of a Golden Indonesia 2045 with global competitiveness.

This study aims to analyze the financial risk of PT Smartfren Telecom Tbk during the 2014–2023 period, focusing on both short-term and long-term liquidity aspects. The analysis employs financial ratios as measurement tools to assess the company’s financial stability and its ability to fulfill financial obligations within their respective time frames. The ratios used include the current ratio, quick ratio, interest coverage ratio, and cash flow-to-debt ratio. The results indicate that the company faces significant challenges in maintaining short-term liquidity, as reflected in the consistently low values of the current and quick ratios throughout the observation period. This condition suggests a limited ability of the company to meet its short-term obligations using available assets. In terms of long-term liquidity, although there are efforts to strengthen the capital structure, the company still encounters difficulties in meeting its long-term debt obligations. This is evident from the low interest coverage ratio and cash flow-to-debt ratio. Therefore, improving operational efficiency, implementing more effective cash management, and undertaking financial restructuring are essential measures to strengthen the company’s liquidity position sustainably.

Capital structure is a strategic decision made by companies in determining the combination of debt and equity financing. Financial market dynamics can influence companies' strategies for obtaining financing for expansion, operations, or financial restructuring. Companies have the flexibility to determine when and how to obtain financing by considering market conditions, a practice known as market timing. This study aims to examine the impact of market timing on capital structure and to determine the persistent long-term effects of market timing. The research focuses on non-financial companies that conducted an initial public offering (IPO) in 2020-2021, with a population of 105 companies. A purposive sampling technique was employed, using specific criteria, resulting in a sample of 65 companies. The data used are secondary data analyzed using multiple linear regression with panel data. The results indicate that market timing, measured by the market-to-book ratio, has a significant negative impact on capital structure. The study also shows that market timing, does not have a persistent impact on capital structure in the long term. Companies tend to take advantage of momentum when stock valuations are high by conducting initial public offerings, while in the long term, companies tend to make adjustments, so the impact of market timing does not last long.

This study aims to analyze the marketing strategies, operational mechanisms, and key challenges faced by the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) BONA MANDIRI JAYA. A qualitative research approach was employed, utilizing in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis as data collection methods. The results show that the cooperative adopts a direct marketing strategy targeting underserved and remote areas, combined with a personalized approach in monitoring its clients. Despite its growth, the cooperative encounters several challenges, including limited capital, low member financial literacy, non-performing loans, and the need to adapt to digital transformation. To overcome these obstacles, the cooperative implements credit restructuring policies and intensive field monitoring. The study recommends strengthening institutional capacity and adopting digital systems to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of cooperative operations.

This study contributes to a better understanding of how companies can survive and grow amidst intense market competition.  

This study looks at bad debt resolution strategies and their effect on the financial performance of Semerbak Citra Wangon Saving and Loan Cooperative (KSP) using the SPACE Matrix technique. The financial stability of cooperatives is severely threatened by bad debts, which can reduce liquidity and profitability. The four main dimensions of the SPACE Matrix approach - industry strength (IS), environmental stability (ES), competitive advantage (CA), and financial strength (FS) - were used to evaluate the cooperative's strategic position. The conclusion of the analysis, which places the cooperative in the aggressive quadrant (coordinates 5.00, 2.67), indicates that the cooperative has significant internal strengths and outward growth potential. Some recommended strategies include improved market segmentation, longer loan periods, liability restructuring, and lower interest rates. These strategies are expected to improve the cooperative's long-term financial stability and reduce the likelihood of bad debts.

This study aims to analyze credit management strategies in reducing non-performing loans (NPL) at PT. BPR Ambulu Dhanaartha in Jember Regency. This study uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through direct interviews with the bank, observation, and documentation studies from various relevant sources. The results of the study indicate that PT. BPR Ambulu Dhanaartha implements credit management strategies through the stages of planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring. The factors causing non-performing loans come from internal aspects, such as credit analysis errors, as well as external factors, such as economic conditions and disasters. The handling strategies implemented include restructuring, rescheduling, and confiscation of collateral. By implementing strict credit analysis, structured credit policies, periodic supervision, and effective collection strategies, PT. BPR Ambulu Dhanaartha is able to minimize the risk of non-performing loans and maintain its operational stability.  

The declaration by President Muhammadu Buhari that he is willing to reduce the rising expenses of managing public affairs is a major surprise. Newspapers everywhere have stated that he will face the confront the problem head-on by reforming numerous government agencies, merging others, and dismantling others. We are still figuring out the specifics. The only information that has been made public thus far is that the plan's first casualties will be the Universal Tertiary Matriculation Examination, the National Examinations Council, and the National Poverty Eradication Programme. It is evident from the announced strategy that the president and his officials either do not understand the seriousness of the issue or are once again manipulating a terrible sickness that is plaguing the nation. In what way would eliminating NECO and instructing WAEC to take on the personnel reduce costs? Or how would renaming NAPP contribute to improving governance value? How does he make sure that each and every Kobo that goes into counted national treasuries? What steps is he taking to guarantee that public policy is geared toward reducing people's suffering? The cost of governance during Jonathan's administration is examined in this study. It examines the cost of government from a thematic perspective, emphasizing its main points with specific examples. According to the paper's conclusion, the so-called clause of "senior ministers and junior or ministers of state" has led to the current unhealthy rivalry and widespread bitterness, but it has also resulted in needless waste of public funds in the payment of entitlements due to over-bloated administrative costs.  

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are widely recognized as strategic instruments for corporate growth, restructuring, and competitive advantage. This semantic review synthesizes recent Scopus‑indexed literature to examine the strategic implications and performance outcomes of M&A. The study highlights that strategic alignment between acquiring and target firms is fundamental to synergy realization, operational efficiency, and innovation. Managerial expertise emerges as a decisive factor, with effective leadership ensuring smooth integration and long‑term value creation. Market dynamics, including economic volatility, regulatory changes, and geopolitical tensions, significantly influence M&A strategies and outcomes, while technological integration accelerates digital transformation and enhances competitive positioning. Cultural fit is identified as a critical determinant of organizational cohesion, with misalignment often leading to employee resistance and reduced productivity. Financial outcomes vary, ranging from profitability improvements through economies of scale to underperformance caused by overestimated synergies or poor integration. Furthermore, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations are increasingly shaping M&A strategies, reinforcing stakeholder trust and sustainable value creation. By adopting a holistic approach that integrates strategic foresight, managerial acumen, market awareness, technological innovation, and sustainability, firms can optimize M&A as a tool for growth and resilience in dynamic global markets.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of credit risk management in Islamic banking, which is a crucial aspect in maintaining business stability and sustainability. The research focuses on identifying credit risk control strategies, such as supervisory oversight by the board of commissioners, risk management policies, and internal control systems. The research method used is a literature review, examining various sources, including journals, books, and official documents. The article shows that credit risks in Islamic banking arise from customers' failure to meet payment obligations and involve concentration and counterparty risks. Islamic banks apply several strategies to address non-performing loans, such as rescheduling, restructuring, reconditioning, and, when necessary, collateral seizure. The implementation of credit risk management helps banks reduce potential losses and improve operational efficiency. Effective credit risk management enables Islamic banks to mitigate losses and maintain customer trust while adhering to Sharia principles and OJK regulations. With the right strategies, Islamic banks can ensure financial stability and sustain long-term growth..

Restructuring is a step in overcoming financing problems that arise because debtors experience difficulties in fulfilling their obligations, which is known as default. The government, through the Financial Services Authority, asks banking institutions to identify debtors and provide financing restructuring policies with the aim of providing relief to the public, especially debtors, in financing payments. This research aims to find out how restructuring is implemented as an effort to manage problematic financing at KB Bank Syariah KC Surabaya. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach in the nature of library research, namely by using books and literature related to this research. The results of this research are that implementing restructuring of problematic financing in banks will benefit in the form of reducing Non-Performing Finance (NPF), which will ultimately have a positive impact on the overall health of the bank. Apart from that, from an economic perspective, the Bank will receive installment payments from debtors in accordance with the restructuring agreement that has been agreed between the bank and the debtor. The success of implementing financing restructuring depends on the intention and willingness of both parties, namely the debtor and financing, to work together in resolving financing problems that arise.  

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence earnings management in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the financial sector in Indonesia, causing a decrease in profitability, an increase in non-performing loans, and credit restructuring policies that affect company operations. In the face of these challenges, companies try to maintain a good image and investor satisfaction through earnings management. This study focuses on four factors that influence earnings management: profitability is measured by Return on Assets (ROA), dividend policy by Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), tax planning by tax retention rate, and deferred tax expense by comparison of deferred tax expense to total assets. The inconsistency of previous research results regarding the relationship between these variables encourages further research. The sampling method uses purposive sampling on financial companies listed on the IDX. The analysis in this study used multiple linear regression analysis. The samples used in this study included 15 financial companies and were analyzed using the classical assumption test, multiple linear regression using SPSS software version 25. The results of this study (1) Profitability and dividend policy partially do not affect total assets. (2) Tax planning and deferred tax expense partially have a significant effect on earnings management. (3) Profitability, dividend policy, tax planning and deferred tax expense simultaneously have a significant effect on earnings management.

Infrastructure management is coordination between the physical work environment and employees and work in an organization to maintain the quality of an integrated work environment in operating, maintaining, improving and adapting through the organizational restructuring process so that employee contributions can be realized in achieving company goals. Strength in the form of commitment and individual strength is individual capital that is important for management. This shows that the organizational role of employee contributions as superior employees (store employees) creates intellectual capital through greater effort and hard work which is closely related to the creation of intellectual capital.

The unemployment situation in West Java remains a serious concern, particularly due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, technological changes, and industrial restructuring. During the transition period of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) in West Java Province decreased, indicating a potential relationship between unemployment rates and economic growth. This study aims to identify and analyze the effect of unemployment on economic growth in West Java using descriptive analysis and quantitative analysis with a multiple linear regression approach. Statistical analysis results show the regression equation Y = 6.170 – 0.088X1 – 0.771X2 + e. This means that if the variables unemployment (X1) and COVID (X2) are zero, economic growth (Y) remains constant at 6.170. Each 1% increase in unemployment reduces economic growth by 0.088%, while each 1% increase in COVID cases reduces economic growth by 0.771%. The F-test simultaneously, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05, indicates that the percentage of unemployment and the COVID dummy variable significantly affect economic growth in West Java. With an F value of 0.05, the alternative hypothesis (H1) is accepted, and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected, indicating that unemployment and COVID variables significantly influence economic growth.      

The Covid-19 pandemic has occurred. Since 2019, almost all countries in the world have experienced it. The Indonesian population is experiencing a pandemic that causes millions of people to experience difficulties, one of which is economic factors, namely in paying off debt or murabaha financing at Islamic banks and conventional banks. This is due to a decrease in daily income. If these conditions are not addressed properly, it will result in a decline in the economic growth of a country. This article aims to examine the application of the Qur'an Surah Al Baqarah verse 280 to the gift of restructuring murabahah financing to customers affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. The researcher used the literature review method. In addition, this study also uses a narrative analysis method to describe the reality that occurs in the field and conducts interviews with customers and the Bank. The research study conducted in this article shows that the application of Surah Al Baqarah verse 280 during the Covid-19 pandemic can be a solution to maintain the level of economic growth in Indonesia.
