The aim of this paper is to establish how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability has no effect on competitive advantage through the entrepreneurial orientation and organizational agility of Indonesian SMEs in the apparel retail sector. The study is based on resources that cannot be directly converted into the competitive advantage of companies but must instead be subjected to an entrepreneurial process and offer new insights into the use of ICT as a valuable corporate resource. The paper is based on a quantitative approach using a population comprising apparel retailers from traditional markets in Jakarta, Indonesia. The sample was obtained using random sampling. The survey was conducted among 462 small businesses across five traditional apparel markets managed by PD. Pasar Jaya. The data were processed using Structural Equation ModelingPartial Least Squares. The results show that ICT capability has no significant effect on competitive advantage, although it does have a significant effect on entrepreneurial orientation and organizational agility. Organizational agility and entrepreneurial orientation have a significant effect on competitive advantage, thus indicating that ICT capability in small businesses cannot be directly converted into a competitive advantage. The finding of the research is that ICT capability is able to create competitive advantage in small businesses but only when present in conjunction with entrepreneurial orientation and organizational agility.
Peatland restoration is a potential solution to resolve peatland damage but faces an economic-social-environmental exchange (Sustainable Development Goals) that results in strong disagreements between stakeholders who have different interests such as company, community and local or regional government concessions. Successful peatland restoration will depend on how various priorities have been reconciled, as much as it depends on improving governance and cross-sector collaboration well done. The purpose of this paper is to find a solution how to be managing peatlands in Sungaitohor, Indonesia. We use social maps to show the communities concern to restoration of degraded peatland, we try to compare the level of public awareness to prevention efforts and the restoration of peatland damaged by fires Forest and peatlands. The findings of this paper are social map, that explain the community’s participation to efforts of peatland restoration in Sungai tohor, Indonesia.
The research objective was to analyze the determninant factors of Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) in the Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) of the traditional food centers in Bandung. It used the EO dimension at the organizational level. Five dimensions were used to measure the EO level, namely risk-taking, innovativeness, competitive aggressiveness, proactiveness, and autonomy. The questionare’s was distributed to eight MSEs in Bandung. The sample size is 100 employee Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis techniques with Partial Least Square (PLS) was used to test the samples. This research shows that the EO level in the micro and small enterprises in the traditional food centers in Bandung is at a moderate level. Although EO of MSEs in the traditional food centers in Bandung is in the moderate category, the results of testing on the EO model find out that each EO dimension forms a significant EO construct. The four dominant and recommended dimensions forming an EO construct in MSEs are risk-taking, innovativeness, competitive aggressiveness, and proactiveness. Among the four dimensions, risk-taking is the dominant dimension. It indicates that courage in taking risks in MSEs is a natural characteristic of the EO in the traditional food centers in Bandung.
Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) has been used to reduce traffic in metropolitan cities. This system has proven to reduce the rate of vehicles entering the limited area effectively as well as increasing the rate of vehicles that use the highway around the limited area thus increasing the usefulness of the road. However, a thorough understanding of the state-of-art on ERP is still needed. Therefore, this article aims to classify, identify scientific publications, and conduct a thematic analysis of the current literature in the ERP to create an extensive and detailed understanding. The results of this mapping are expected to contribute to both researchers and practitioners in determining the research focus gap and the next type of ERP research. The research method is done by systematic mapping study (SMS) to review the scientific publication of ERP conducted time to time, research focus and paper type of the most widely investigated, and research methods that have been applied. SMS Procedures follow established empirical guidelines and mapping data using the Scopus electronic database library. Based on the results of the SMS on research in the field of ERP, it is found out that there are fifty empirical studies that meet the inclusion criteria. The writers classify fifty articles on the research focus areas underneath the categories: ERP, traffic congestion, road pricing, traffic management technology, transportation demand management. Then the studies are grouped into six categories: validation research, evaluation research, solution proposal, philosophical papers and experience papers. Afterall, this article also produces the categorization and quantification of current ERP studies in various dimensions as well as an overview of current research topics and trends.
