This study investigates the eco-innovation variable which has the significant effect on creative industries center's performance of marble and natural stone craft sector in Tulungagung, Indonesia. The object of the study is the creative industries center with the non-renewable raw material. Mostly, the companies are in form of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which is 'passive eco-innovator' and their eco-innovation variables have not been investigated before in terms of their influence on their performance. The respondents were 81 craftsmen taken from the population. The data were collected through questionnaires which were tested, processed and analyzed by using Consistent Partial Least Square (PLSc). The eco-innovation variables which significantly effect on innovative performance are eco-organizational innovation and eco-product innovation. Eco-process innovation and eco-marketing innovation don't directly affect on innovative performance, but its significant effect on eco-product innovation may influence innovative performance. Improving innovative performance will impact on financial performance through improvement of production performance, but market performance does not significantly affect financial performance. The findings of this study could be a reference for creative industries center's of marble and natural stone craft sector to prioritize which type of eco-innovation should be improved so that its impact on performance is more significant.

As one of the components of the national education system, teachers as the spearhead in achieving success in achieving national education goals play a very important role in the implementation of AKM.

This study aimed to see whether there is an influence between macro-economic variables include changes of USD / IDR exchange rate, change of CNY / IDR exchange rate, inflation change, change of WTI crude oil and change of ICP crude oil to return of sectoral indices, represented by return of consumption index stock, return of financial index stock, return of infrastructure index stock and return of trade and service index stock. In addition, this study also tested whether there is a causal relationship of one or two directions of endogenous variables. Period in this study began from July 2009 -December 2017 (102 months).
