THE EFFECT OF CHAIN VALUE CREATION ON INCREASING THE FASHION INDUSTRY BUSINESS PERFORMANCE IN BANDUNG CITY
Full text linkThe era of globalization causes increasingly competitive competition towards the creative economy. This creative economy is driven by an industrial sector called the creative industry. Creative industries that have optimal business performance are creative industries that apply value chains to each of their business processes. The value chain provides value delivery that offers superior value to the creative industries. However, this value chain is not owned or fully functional as it should be in the creative industry of the Binong Jati UMKM knitting center in Bandung. This article discusses aspects of business performance that are affected by value chain creation. This study uses descriptive-verificative survey research. The sampling technique used is probability random sampling. The results showed the influence of the value chain on business performance. So it can be concluded that the better the value chain, the higher the business performance at Binong Jati Knitting Center, Bandung City, and vice versa
Integrating Technology Adoption, Knowledge Sharing, and Financial Planning to Enhance Business Performance: A Model for F&B MSMEs in Jakarta
Full text linkThis study explores the impact of technology adoption, knowledge sharing, and financial planning on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Food and Beverage (F&B) sector in Jakarta, Indonesia. The research aims to develop an integrated model that illustrates how these factors contribute to improving business performance, particularly in the context of emerging markets. Using a quantitative approach, data was collected from 770 respondents via a survey, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to analyze the relationships between variables. The findings indicate that technology adoption significantly influences strategic absorptive capacity, which in turn enhances financial planning and business performance. Knowledge sharing was found to positively affect financial planning, but its direct impact on strategic absorptive capacity was weak. The study concludes that strengthening absorptive capacity and financial planning are critical for MSMEs to achieve sustainable growth and competitiveness in the digital age. This research offers valuable insights for MSME owners and policymakers aiming to improve the business performance of MSMEs through technology and knowledge integration
Integrating Risk Management and Absorptive Capacity: Enhancing Business Performance in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Food and Beverage Sector
Full text linkThis study examines the interplay between risk management and absorptive capacity in improving business performance for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Food and Beverage (F&B) sector. MSMEs face increasing challenges due to globalization, market uncertainties, and technological changes, making risk management and absorptive capacity crucial for sustaining competitive advantage. The research investigates how effective risk management strategies, combined with a strong absorptive capacity, can enhance MSMEs’ financial and operational performance. By employing a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), data from 650 F&B MSMEs in West Java, Indonesia, were analyzed. The findings reveal that risk management significantly influences absorptive capacity, which in turn positively impacts business performance. This study highlights the importance of integrating these two factors, with absorptive capacity serving as a key mediator between risk management and business performance. Practical recommendations for MSMEs include strengthening risk management frameworks and fostering employee engagement to enhance absorptive capacity, thereby improving business outcomes. The results provide valuable insights for MSME owners and managers on how to navigate uncertainties and leverage knowledge to improve sustainability and competitiveness in a dynamic market environment
Strategic Alignment and Absorptive Capacity as Key Drivers of Marketing Performance and Business Outcomes in Indonesian Food and Beverage MSMEs
Full text linkThis study explores the role of marketing performance in improving business outcomes for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia’s Food and Beverage (F&B) sector. Specifically, the research examines how strategic alignment and strategy absorptive capacity influence marketing performance and business performance. A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was applied to analyze data from 617 respondents, including owners and managers of F&B MSMEs in West Java. The results indicate that strategic alignment significantly impacts strategy absorptive capacity, which in turn enhances business performance. Additionally, the study highlights the mediating role of strategy absorptive capacity, demonstrating that the alignment of business strategies and the ability to absorb external knowledge directly improve marketing and business outcomes. The research provides practical implications for managers of F&B MSMEs, particularly in adapting their strategies to the dynamic market environment, leveraging digital marketing tools, and fostering organizational capabilities to absorb and apply new knowledge. This study contributes to the literature by integrating strategic alignment, absorptive capacity, and marketing performance into a unified model, offering valuable insights for both academics and practitioners
The Role of Strategic Leadership and Absorptive Capacity in Driving Innovation and Business Performance in MSMEs: Evidence from the Indonesian Food and Beverage Sector in West Java
Full text linkThis study investigates the interplay between strategic leadership, absorptive capacity, business innovation, and business performance in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) within the food and beverage (F&B) sector in West Java, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach, the research uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test hypotheses about the impact of strategic leadership and absorptive capacity on innovation and performance outcomes. The results indicate that strategic leadership influences business performance indirectly, primarily through its role in enhancing absorptive capacity, which, in turn, facilitates innovation. This absorptive capacity is identified as a key driver of business performance in MSMEs. The findings emphasize that effective leadership acts as a catalyst for fostering an environment conducive to learning and innovation, ultimately improving business outcomes. These insights are essential for MSME entrepreneurs and policymakers seeking strategies to enhance innovation and performance, particularly in resource-constrained environments. The study contributes to the theoretical understanding of strategic leadership and absorptive capacity in MSMEs and offers practical recommendations for strengthening business resilience and competitiveness in the rapidly evolving F&B sector
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
