The present study not only focuses on single measure of technological innovation but included three core dynamics of measuring technological innovations. These include research and development expenditures, High-tech exports and patents by residents. This kind of extensive examination will provide greater understanding regarding which form of technological innovation have the tendency to curtail or augment levels of energy intensity in Indonesia. The awareness derived from such broad inspection would be able to identify not only the overall contribution of technological innovations in affecting country's power intensity but highlight the specific role of each form of innovation in influencing energy intensity levels and the particular association to guide effective policy making process. The current study has adopted the refined methodology of auto-regressive distributed lags (ARDL) bound testing approach to examine the dynamic relationship among energy intensity and technology innovation with amplified understanding of the critical association to support the course of economic planning and policy making. The results of ARDL bound testing approach confirm that high technology exports, research and development expenditure and number of registered patents are strong determinants of energy inefficiency in Indonesia. Likewise, the outcomes affirm that all the three proxies of technology innovation have a constructive and negative effect on energy inefficiency in Indonesia which implies that the high technology exports, number of registered patents and R&D expenditure are the main source of reducing energy inefficiency in Indonesia in the long run and short run. Also, the results of Granger causality method confirm a bi-directional causal relationship between energy intensity and technology innovation in Indonesia.

The current examination aims to explore the critical relationship of energy, in the form of electricity with economic growth of Indonesia. Contrary to traditional approach of assessing the impact of energy consumption, the present study analyzes the association from production point of view by assessing the impact of electricity production on economic development. In doing so, the current study has adopted the refined methodology of auto-regressive distributed lags (ARDL) bound testing approach to examine the dynamic relationship among renewable (RE) electricity generation, non-renewable (NRE) electricity generation and economic growth with amplified understanding of the critical association to support the course of economic planning and policy making. The results of ARDL bound testing approach confirm that RE electricity generation, NRE electricity generation and carbon dioxide emission are solid determinants of economic development in Indonesia. Moreover, the results avow that RE electricity and NRE electricity generation have a useful and beneficial outcome on economic development in Indonesia.

The aim of the study is to solve the problem of decreasing student academic performance which is influenced by satisfaction in using e-learning, the quality of e-learning systems, environment, and organizational culture. The research method used is verification by using structural equational modeling test with partial least square approach, primary data obtained from questionnaires designed by researchers. Respondents are students who are in management accounting courses with the number of samples using the power analysis. The results of the study answer the problems that occur that there is no evidence of environmental uncertainty, organizational culture towards e-learning. But, e-learning affects user satisfaction, and user satisfaction influences student academic performance. The results of the study are expected to provide input for managers to consider the application of e-learning system learning in management accounting courses. The uniqueness of this research is the development of a success model of information systems from DeLone & McLane, shown by the addition of exogenous variables, namely the environment and organizational culture that were not previously present in the model.

The present study analyses the causal relationship between CO 2 emissions, energy consumption, value added of three development sectors and household final consumption expenditure in Indonesia using annual data from 1975 to 2014. We applied ADF and PP unit root tests, Johansen co-integration test, and Granger causality test based on vector error correction modelling. Our results indicated that although CO 2 emission and energy consumption have a mutual effect, increase CO 2 emissions tend given greater effect on energy consumption. CO 2 emissions, energy consumption, the value added of industry sector and household final consumption expenditure have a significant effect on the added value of agriculture sector and service sector, while the added value of agriculture sector is a key factor that driven increases the added value of service sector. In the long term, we discover that a cointegration relationship occurring when energy consumption, household final expenditure, and the value added of three development sectors, respectively, are determined as the dependent variables in the model. Based on these results, we concluded that energy conservation and mitigation policies which accompanied the application of energy-saving technologies should be an important priority on the sustainable development planning in Indonesia, especially in order to reduce CO 2 emissions and accelerate economic growth rate in Indonesia.

The actual and virtual realms in the present economies are expending to respond well to technological evolutions. In fact, the emergence of fourth industrial revolution (4IR) has stimulated the organization to adopt innovations in the production and process with extensive integration of ecofriendly practices to ensure sustainability. The automation of work and emerging digitalization is known as the 4IR. This industrial revolution has several effects on person's career involvements. Still, the past literature in careers research and vocational psychology has been surprisingly quiet on this pattern up until now. In this regard, the present study examines the impact of industrial revolution factors on environmental and economic performance (ECP) in manufacturing small and medium enterprises in Malaysia. The results of structural equation modeling confirm that green product innovation and green process innovation have positively and significant impact on project innovation (PRI). Moreover, the results further confirm that PRI has positive and significantly impact on ECP and environmental performance (ENP). Finally, economic and ENP have a positive and significant impact on competitive advantage (COM). Therefore, it is recommended that 4IR factor is a source to enhance the economic and ENP of the firm which ultimately leads the COM.

The aim of the current study is to examine the importance of natural gas (NG) energy utilization in influencing economic growth using time series data from 1980 to 2017 in Indonesia. In doing so, the current study has adopted the refined methodology of Auto-Regressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) bound testing approach to examine the dynamic relationship among NG and economic growth with amplified understanding of the critical association to support the course of economic planning and policy making. The results of ARDL bound testing approach confirm that capital, labor force and NG utilization are strong determinants of economic growth in Indonesia. Likewise, the outcomes affirm that NG utilization have a constructive and positive effect on economic growth in Indonesia which implies that the NG is the main source of economic growth in Indonesia in the long run and short run. Also, the results of variance decomposition method confirm a bi-directional causal relationship between economic growth, NG utilization, labor force and capital in Indonesia.

This research discussed the opportunities for Indonesia to act as humble-hard power in South China Sea dispute. Permanent Court of Arbitration’s decision in July 2016 to give South China Sea based on UNCLOS’s regulation has provoked China’s objection. This research question is on how to understand the conception of humble-hard power and the possibility for Indonesia to be humble-hard power in the South China Sea dispute? This article borrowed the concept of humble-hard power from Adam Nieves Johnson. This research shows two findings. First, the recent victory of the Philippines’ case in the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) should be opportunities for Indonesia to play his role as humble-hard power. Secondly, following the announcement of the ruling, there were already signs that the Chinese government was looking for more detailed the implementation of humble-hard power with Indonesia.
