Oversight of Special Authonomy Funds: Insights from the Papua Experience
Full text linkThe granting of special autonomy to Papua, as mandated by Law No. 21 of 2001, carries significant implications for the oversight of funds allocated by the central government to the regional administration. The supervision of these funds presents unique characteristics and fiscal privileges; however, existing oversight mechanisms remain inadequate due to weak institutional coordination, insufficient guidance, and fragmented supervision across different levels of government. As a result, the management of special autonomy funds has failed to substantially improve democratic governance, both in terms of vertical relations between the central and regional governments and horizontal dynamics at the local level. Moreover, it has not led to significant socio-economic advancements for local communities. This study highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive and structured supervisory framework to enhance the accountability and effectiveness of special autonomy fund management in Papua. It proposes a multi-layered oversight model that integrates central supervisory institutions with regional bodies, ensuring a more cohesive governance structure. Strengthening transparency, fostering active community participation, and enforcing robust legal frameworks are essential to establishing sound financial governance and maximizing the developmental impact of special autonomy funds

Examining the Role of Strategy Implementation in Enhancing the Performance of Egyptian SMEs
Full text linkThis study examines the effect of strategy implementation—focusing on organizational structure, organizational culture, and resource allocation—on the performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Egypt. The relevance of this research lies in addressing how effective strategy execution can enhance operational effectiveness and market competitiveness in dynamic environments. The purpose is to analyze the impact of these components and provide actionable insights for SMEs. A quantitative methodology was employed, utilizing regression analysis to examine data collected from SMEs in Egypt. The findings reveal that organizational culture and resource allocation collectively explain 57.9% of the variance in SME performance (R² = 0.579). Organizational culture emerged as the most influential factor, demonstrating a strong positive correlation (r = 0.733, p < 0.001) and fostering innovation, collaboration, and strategic alignment. Resource allocation significantly impacts performance (β = 0.276, p < 0.001), emphasizing the strategic importance of leveraging resources. In contrast, organizational structure presented mixed results, with areas of positive perception (mean = 3.97) and misalignments (mean = 2.7) highlighting the need for adaptive and decentralized structures. These results underscore the critical roles of culture and resource allocation in successful strategy execution, providing practical recommendations for Egyptian SMEs to enhance innovation, agility, and competitiveness
Poverty Analysis through Spiritual, Multidimensional and Monetary Material Approaches in Indonesia
Full text linkIn 2023, Banyumas' poverty rate rose, with Banyumas Regency, Central Java Province ranking eighth among all regions in terms of poverty in Indonesia. Other factors, such as social, cultural, and political factors, remain in this cycle of poverty. Low levels of education are the first step toward being unable to use and develop natural resources. After that, a poor work ethic eliminates the low production. In Banyumas district's, Central Java Province impoverished neighborhood, the study was carried out. The first year will involve selecting 200 impoverished people from four subdistricts in Banyumas Regency: Cilongok, Pekuncen, Wangon, Kedungbanteng, and Rawalo. This will allow for the identification of factors that affect the area's poverty level. The multinomial logit regression approach is an analytical tool used to address the study objectives. The findings of this study demonstrate that, in the instance of the Banyumas district region covered in this article, socioeconomic determinants do not necessarily have the same impact on multidimensional poverty or monetary poverty. The significance of formal employment status is limited to financial destitution. Multidimensional poverty alone is strongly influenced by regional geography. Only monetary poverty is impacted by informal credit, and that influence is favorable.
Contribution. This research can provide a comprehensive entrepreneurship concept that can accelerate poverty reduction in Banyumas Regency

Procurement Risk Management to Improve Supply Chain Performance
Full text linkThis research aims to analyze the impact of logistics integration and procurement risk management on supply chain performance in goods distribution for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies. The SEM method uses Smart-PLS software version 3.3. The respondents are 202 companies from the economic sector, logistics centers, and transportation service providers. The study results show that information sharing and supplier integration have a significant positive impact on supply chain performance through sharing information about plans, volumes, key performance indicators (KPIs), on-schedule delivery status, and transportation management systems. The novelty of this study is that it shows that procurement risk management is proven to moderate the impact of information sharing on supply chain performance. However, procurement risk management does not reduce the impact of long-term supplier relationships and integration on supply chain performance. It was clear that deliveries were not going well, as deliveries were made in response to demand via the spot market due to truck availability and high prices. Long-term relationships do not have a significant positive impact on supply chain performance
Analytic Hierarchy Process Optimization of Strategic Resource Management for Sustainable Development: Enhancing International Economic and Commercial Relations through Circular Economy Factors in Open Socio-Economic Systems
Full text linkThis article explores how the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) can optimize strategic resource management for sustainable development, emphasizing circular economy factors in open socio-economic systems. A thorough literature review links existing research in financial security, innovation, and risk management to illustrate the significance of integrating environmental considerations into long-term resource allocation. The proposed AHP framework decomposes complex decision-making into a hierarchical structure that includes both quantitative metrics, such as financial stability and waste reduction, and qualitative concerns, like stakeholder engagement and regulatory compliance. Expert evaluations highlight the primacy of environmental and circular economy factors in resource management, closely followed by financial and risk considerations. Waste reduction, resource reuse, and supply chain resilience emerge as top-ranked sub-criteria, underscoring the importance of balancing ecological imperatives with economic viability. The study further highlights digital transformation as an essential enabler of real-time analysis and adaptive resource allocation. Integrating these insights within a broader policy and managerial context offers a roadmap for enhancing international economic and commercial relations, especially in turbulence-prone global markets. The findings suggest that holistic, multi-criteria decision-making—supported by AHP—provides a robust pathway toward sustainable development, promoting resilience and competitiveness in open socio-economic systems
