The discussion on corporate governance is focused on the duties of the board of commissioners (BOC). This is important, especially for countries that use the two-tier board model, such as Indonesia. This qualitative study aims to analyze the fulfillment of the number and composition of commissioners as well as the process of appointment and dismissal of commissioners in stateowned enterprises (BUMN) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results showed that BUMN had fulfilled the number and composition of commissioners. In addition, the existence of an audit committee and board of commissioner meetings is a component that plays an important role in assisting the commissioners in carrying out their supervisory functions. In the end, the process of succession of commissioners becomes an important part that affects the fulfillment of the number and composition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The catastrophic impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) is well-presented across countries featured on a helicopter view. However, studies on business activities as proxies to business functions that are exclusively affected by the pandemic are scarcely found, which in turn might cause ineffective recovery policy. Using Indonesia as a case in point, this study aims at codifying the particular business activities to proxy the functions that have been impacted across the sectors and business owners’ perception on the government’s policy. The study uses indicators for three business functions that are qualitatively constructed from previous studies to ensure their robustness. Data from the 220 respondents across Indonesia are collected using a non-probability sampling technique and the questionnaire is distributed online. The results are presented in descriptive statistics along with Kruskal-Wallist test to detect any difference across industries and duration of business. The study finds that production is the most severely impacted on creative sectors, whilst human resources issues are rampant for manufacturing and financial issues remain the center of the conundrum for all sectors. Notwithstanding the fatalistic result of downfall in demand of goods and services, the second most impacted business activity is productivity due to the reduced working hour of employees. In terms of COVID-19 Pandemic policy, financing facilities and health protocol are equally impactful for small businesses. These findings provide unambiguous evidence on specific business activities that are impacted, that is beneficial for evidence-based policy making. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
