This study investigates the effectiveness of the case method in enhancing business negotiation skills through English language learning among management students at STIE Ganesha. Employing a qualitative approach, data were gathered via in-depth interviews, participatory observations of cross-cultural negotiation simulations, and thematic analysis of reflection journals from 20 purposively selected participants. Findings revealed three core themes: (1) the case method deepened contextual understanding of business communication strategies through localized scenarios, such as partnerships with Balinese SMEs; (2) iterative case discussions enhanced adaptive problem-solving skills in multicultural settings; and (3) collaborative analysis strengthened persuasive language use and emotional intelligence. Key challenges included uneven group participation dynamics and balancing linguistic precision with strategic negotiation goals. The study proposes a pedagogical framework integrating localized case narratives (e.g., disputes over sacred land use or artisan collaborations) and structured peer feedback to align language education with managerial competencies. These insights underscore the role of situated learning in bridging theoretical knowledge and practical negotiation praxis within Bali’s unique global-local business ecosystem.

Selo Village in Boyolali Regency is a center for dairy cattle farming and is also developing as a tourist village. However, most local residents still sell raw milk to middlemen without applying marketing strategies or product innovation. This community service activity aimed to provide education on the importance of dairy product marketing and to introduce innovative ideas based on local potential. The methods used included preliminary observation, open interviews, focus group discussions, interactive counseling, and evaluation through questionnaires and reflection. The activity involved 15 participants, including dairy farmers, homestay operators, café owners, and local youth. The results showed increased participant understanding of marketing strategies, tourism market opportunities, and the potential for milk processing. Most participants expressed interest in further training and began formulating product ideas such as yogurt, ice cream, and pasteurized milk. This program not only improved marketing literacy but also built motivation and collective awareness to develop independent businesses based on the village’s potential. Thus, the activity served as an initial step in promoting sustainable rural economic development.

The objective of this study is to empirically assess the tactics that the CBN of Nigeria has implemented as the key component of the new naira note policy. The research employed a survey design with a sample size of about fifty (50) responders, comprising accountants and auditors from ten (10) ministries chosen from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) of Abuja, Nigeria. At the 5% significant level, the hypotheses are tested using analysis of variance (ANOVA). The study's conclusions showed a strong association between forensic accounting and the litigation support service provided by Nigerian courts, as well as the effectiveness of forensic accounting in the country's public sector in identifying fraud. In a similar vein, the CBN of Nigeria uses techniques and policies that work well to stop fraud. Therefore, the study suggests that the public sector implement a continuous improvement in the internal control officers responsible for their acts.

This study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the critical role of forensic accounting in enhancing transparency and accountability within the Nigerian public sector, ultimately fostering a more robust financial environment.
