Poverty is a universal reality that takes various forms worldwide. It is considered the most detrimental economic and social issue, being the root cause of human rights violations due to its destructive effects on individuals and society. In the modern era, poverty has become a major global issue, hindering economic and human development and leading to deprivation of well-being. Any credit type, micro or nano credit, must be implemented well to help the poor. Recently, there has been an interest in nanocredit. Although there are limited studies on nanocredit, there have been some attempts to review the topic. In contrast to other research, this study adopts a different methodology to thoroughly review the literature on the development of nanocredit to address the innovative and reliable tools that are dependable financial inclusion for the underprivileged. This study is being conducted to comprehensively review and analyse current research on nanocredit.

The current research explores how consumer brand engagement (CBE) serves as a mediator between social media marketing (SMM) and consumer- based brand equity (CBBE) within the context of luxury perfume brands. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 322 participants who possess substantial knowledge of luxury perfume brands and are actively involved on social media platforms. The study employed partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze the relationships among SMM, CBE, and CBBE constructs. Through thorough analysis, the study establishes significant positive correlations between CBE and CBBE, identifying cognition, emotion, and behavior as pivotal dimensions of CBE that contribute to the formation of CBBE. Furthermore, the research confirms the impact of various SMM dimensions—including entertainment, interaction, personalization, trendiness, and word of mouth—on CBBE components such as brand loyalty, perceived quality, and brand awareness/ associations. Additionally, it validates a direct link from SMM to CBE, where compelling content enhances consumer engagement. The study also verifies a sequential relationship from SMM to CBE and subsequently to CBBE. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed, emphasizing the importance of comprehending and leveraging consumer engagement and SMM dynamics to bolster brand equity in the luxury perfume sector. The study identifies limitations and suggests future research directions to guide further investigation into these relationships.

In response to the global challenges and the demands of the digital revolution, Bank Indonesia launched the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS), a unified payment system designed to enhance convenience and security. Despite these potential benefits, the adoption rate of QRIS has been relatively slow. This study aims to understand the factors driving the adoption of QRIS among Millennials in Eastern Indonesia by examining how attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control affect their intention to use QRIS. Using a quantitative approach and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), we analyzed data from 505 respondents. The findings reveal that attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control significantly impact Eastern Indonesian Millennials intention to adopt QRIS. Interestingly, even though Eastern Indonesia is known for its inadequate digital infrastructure and low digital literacy, these internal behavioral factors are remarkably positive. This indicates that the low penetration of QRIS in the region is mostly due to external factors rather than individual behavioral tendencies.

The COVID-19 era is an event that transitions all human activities in all parts of the world. This has an impact on various aspects including health, economic, and social aspects. All activities are carried out indoors and limit contact outside the room to avoid COVID-19, from social distancing to working from home. The implementation of this system makes people more 'literate' in technology. One of them is in the economic sector, where people have started using non-cash payment transactions. Because of this phenomenon, researchers analyzed the perception of security and risk, and benefits as the determining factors of in adopting the digital wallet. This research uses interviews and direct observation. The data collection was carried out on 15 respondents, people who have a high interest in the use of digital wallets. The results show that perceived security, ease of use, and benefits are the main factors in digital wallet adoption. Users prefer platforms with security features such as encryption and two-factor authentication. Perceived risks, such as data loss, can be mitigated with good education. Ease of use through an intuitive interface increases user satisfaction. Benefits such as ease of payment and financial incentives are strong motivators. To increase adoption, providers should focus on security, convenience, and clear communication of benefits. Keywords: Digital Wallet; Security and Risk; Benefits

The Covid-19 pandemic caused a negative contraction in the economic structure. In West Kalimantan province, despite negative growth, the primary and secondary sectors surprisingly showed positive growth in the mining, electricity, and agriculture sectors. Based on this situation, we investigated the possibility of the structural transformation process during the pandemic. We applied Lewis's transformation theory to the analysis of primary, secondary, and tertiary sectors to examine the general trends. We used Static-Dynamic Location Quotient, Klassen typology, and Shift Share analysis, and discovered that the negative contraction in 2020 did not significantly affect each sector. However, the pattern indicates a failure in the transformation process between the tertiary and primary sectors, with the primary sector naturally proving to be the main sector in the economic structure. The critical point of our finding is that the failure of the structural transformation process was potentially caused and locked by the failure of labour shifting. To unlock the interchange of labour to modern industries, the government must address human resource issues, identify definite interchanged sectors, choose key sectors, and ensure each stage is passed thoroughlywith all necessary resources.

Innovative behavior refers to the deliberate engagement in activities to generate and embrace novel ideas, concepts, or approaches to execute and accomplish tasks effectively. This study aims to investigate the impact of transformational leadership and emotional intelligence on innovative work behavior through knowledge sharing.

This quantitative study used survey methodology by sending questionnaires to administrative employees of public hospitals. The samples for this study consisted of 129 administrative employees with a minimum of one year of service at various public hospitals. The investigation employed a Likert scale questionnaire to gather data, which were subsequently analyzed utilizing SEM-PLS in conjunction with SmartPLS 4.0 software. The findings of this study indicate the influence between transformational leadership and emotional intelligence on knowledge sharing (p < 0.05) and innovative work behavior (p < 0.05). In addition, knowledge sharing affects innovative work behavior (p < 0.05). Knowledge sharing mediates the influence of transformational leadership on innovative work behavior (p < 0.05), and knowledge sharing mediates the influence of emotional intelligence on innovative work behavior (p < 0.05). AcknowledgmentThe funding for this study was provided by the budget allocated to Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara for the fiscal year 2023.

Intra-industry sectors are producers of asymmetric information, which in turn has an impact on capital structure decisions. The purpose of this study was to determine (1) differences in debt-equity ratio, growth opportunities, firm age, and firm size as firm characteristics and (2) differences in the effect of growth opportunities, firm age, and firm size on the debt-equity ratio between manufacturing and nonmanufacturing firms. We collected 3,063 observation units consisting of 2,628 manufacturing sectors and 435 non-manufacturing sectors in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and trimmed the data to eliminate the top and bottom 20%. Manufacturing firms are older and more stable, using their profitability to increase information disclosure. Although they produce lower asymmetric information, they do not prefer external financing as an effort to reduce intervention. In contrast, non-manufacturing firms have less tangible assets as a proportion of their total assets than manufacturing firms and therefore produce less asymmetric information of intrinsic value (tangible assets). As a result, manufacturing firms prefer debt issues over equity issues when financing new investments.

Information and communication technology advancement can transform traditional marketing into internet-based marketing. Marketing digitalization was initially more researched in large companies but was still limited in digital marketing research in SMEs. This study aims to close a knowledge gap to describe the implementation of digital marketing in SMEs and analyze the impact on SME performance. This study used 184 samples of SMEs in West Sumatra. Research variables include entrepreneur aspects, business aspects and infrastructure aspects. The data were analyzed using descriptive and binary logits. The findings show that gender and firm size significantly influence how well digital marketing is used in SMEs. Women entrepreneurs more intensively use social media for digital marketing activities, but limited resources and infrastructure cause SMEs more limited opportunities to adopt digital marketing.

AbstractThis study aims to analyze the main effect of perceived scarcity and perceived price on the panic buying behavior of palm oil in Indonesia.

The sample in this study was 289 consumers of palm oil in West Sumatra, Indonesia, which were collected by distributing online questionnaires via the link of google form. SmartPLS 3.0 tests the effect between the variables analyzed on the first-order level construct. The results show that perceived scarcity does not show a significant direct effect on panic buying behavior, but it does affect perceived control and consumer anger, which in turn affect panic buying behavior. Panic buying behavior is also influenced by perceived price. Briefly, the results of this study have practical and conceptual implications which provide valuable insight for further research.

Since there are inconsistent findings on the influence of entrepreneurial orientation on business performance, we aim to develop a conceptual model to explain how an entrepreneurial orientation has the potential to enhance business performance. We develop a concept of culinary-gastronomic value advantage as mediation for entrepreneurial orientation to improve business performance effectively. We examine the model by involving 241 owner-managers of micro and small-sized enterprises in the food industry, whose results were analyzed using SEM-AMOS software. This study’s results indicate that the culinary-gastronomic value advantage derived from the Service-Dominant Logic (SDL) theory is an acceptable solution as mediation for entrepreneurial orientation and performance. Another important finding is that the entrepreneurial orientation and culinary-gastronomic value advantages are highly dependent on the level of risk consciousness on the competitive pressures that occur in the market. This study brings several theoretical implications to service-dominant logic theory, particularly on value accentuation in the form of culinary-gastronomic value advantage for enhancing performance.

The company prefers the issuance of debt with lower information sensitivity than equity. Presence culture, such as majority ownership, generates incentives for open innovation from capital market regulators, which still contain information asymmetry.
