2025-09-28T08:57:27+00:00

This research analyze the skills of staff and the human resource development strategy approaches at Kaliwatu Group, a top adventure tourism company in Bumiaji District, Batu, East Java. The study identifies employee knowledge, skills, and attitudes (KSAs), especially concerning whitewater rafting protocols specified in the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards (SKKNI) No. 62/2009 and No. 60/2024. This study utilizes a qualitative approach that includes interviews, site observations, and competency evaluations. Although most executive team members possess solid knowledge of operations, safety practices, and customer service, there are still gaps in advanced tourism management and regulation updates. The group's human resource strategy actively incorporates internal and external training, certification initiatives, and peer learning. Nevertheless, hiring tends to favour passion over formal qualifications or certifications, leading to inconsistencies in service quality. The results underscore the urgent need for ongoing, structured professional development to close existing competency voids, improve staff performance, and provide sustainable, high-quality tourism services. Suggestions involve enhancing training programs, aligning more closely with national criteria, expanding knowledge-sharing networks among local tourism experts, and collaborating with the local community.

Post-Event Analysis of The Influence of President Donald Trump's Tweet Sentiment on the Abnormal Returns, Trading Volume Activity, and Volatility of S&P 500 Companies

2025-07-20T07:54:51+00:00

This study examines the impact of tweet sentiment—both positive and negative—and its effect on the day the tweet is posted (event day) and the following day (post-event day) on abnormal return, trading volume activity, and volatility of companies listed on the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock exchange that were directly mentioned in President Donald Trump’s tweets between 2016 and 2019. Using panel data consisting of 326 time series observations and 29 company units, the results indicate a significant positive influence of sentiment on volatility, where positive sentiment tends to reduce market uncertainty. Additionally, there is a delayed effect of time on abnormal return, suggesting that the market responds slowly to information received. These findings support the semi-strong form of the Efficient Market Hypothesis, which posits that investors are capable of processing public information selectively but not operate full alignment when making decisions in the stock market.

Strategic Masterplan for Enhancing Oil Production at the Angsana Field

2025-07-16T14:08:14+00:00

Angsana Field, one of the major oil and gas fields in Indonesia that is operated by PT TerraNova, has received a national production target from the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources to produce up to 108 thousand Barrels Oil Per Day (BOPD) Annual Average (AA) in 2025. This production target proves ambitious, given that the base production from the Angsana Field is only expected to reach around 100 thousand BOPD AA. To bridge the gap of 8 thousand BOPD AA, TerraNova intends to implement a comprehensive production optimization strategy, focused on well work.

In the oil and gas industry, the potential oil gain from the well work strategies is usually evaluated using a deterministic approach via reservoir simulation model. However, this method has its own disadvantage of not fully reflecting the complexity of the actual implementation and uncertainty from subsurface aspect. In this study, the integration of deterministic analysis and Monte Carlo simulation are used to provide a more robust analysis on the potential oil gains from well work strategies. Operations management aspect is also considered to create a realistic strategy that aligns with the company’s objective. The results from the analysis indicate that the 8 thousand BOPD AA gap is highly likely to be achieved by prioritizing Type-C well work technology early in the second quarter 2025.

2025-01-06T20:21:43+00:00

After the Covid-19 pandemic ended, MSMEs selling online increased. However, price competition in the digital market is very tight, so MSMEs with small capital cannot compete with large companies that have entered the digital market first. The aim of this research is to analyze the impact of using digital marketing, financial inclusion and financial literacy on business performance which is mediated through self-efficacy. This research tests causality through a quantitative approach. The population in this study was 100 MSMEs in Kendal, Indonesia. The sample in this study was selected based on purposive sampling with certain criteria. The data analysis method uses linear regression analysis which is tested statistically via SmartPLS. The results of this research found that the use of digital marketing can influence or improve business performance. The use of digital marketing can also increase the self-confidence of MSMEs in managing their business (self efficacy). Ease of access to use financial products and services (Financial inclusion) can improve business performance. Then the ease of accessing financial products and services can also increase self-confidence to be successful (self-efficacy) in managing a business. Self-efficacy cannot mediate the influence of digital marketing, financial literacy and financial inclusion on business performance

Enhancement of the Role of Islamic Social Finance for Renewable Energy Project Financing in Indonesia

2025-09-30T14:06:35+00:00

Renewable energy, being environmentally friendly, needs to see increased utilisation due to the detrimental effects of fossil fuel usage on human life. The government has promoted the Energy Transition programme, yet the adoption of renewable energy remains limited, primarily due to financing challenges and the economic viability of projects. The government cannot tackle this alone; it requires the support of financing schemes backed by social funds from the community. In this regard, aligning with the objectives of Shariah (maqasid shariah), the role of Islamic Social Finance can be enhanced within the concept of Islamic Blended Finance to fund renewable energy projects that have social and environmental impacts. The aim of this paper is to develop the role of Islamic Social Finance within Islamic Blended Finance and the necessary regulations, making it a feasible financing scheme that can offer an alternative solution to the funding challenges faced by renewable energy projects. Previous research is limited due to the relative novelty of the topic. This study employs a mixed-methodology approach, incorporating literature review supported by secondary data, as well as primary data from interviews with competent informants.

Social Media, Influencers and FOMO : Key Drivers of Generation Z’s Cryptocurrency Investment Behavior

2025-09-04T10:31:00+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of social media, influencers, and the fear of missing out (FOMO) phenomenon on cryptocurrency investment decisions. In the digital era, social media has become a key channel for information and communication, including in finance and investment. Influencers on platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook often serve as sources of investment recommendations, particularly among Generation Z. At the same time, FOMO drives Generation Z to make investment decisions out of fear of being left behind by emerging trends. This research employs a quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to Generation Z respondents in Medan. The findings reveal that social media, influencers, and FOMO significantly affect investment decisions, with social media exerting the strongest influence in shaping quick and high-risk choices. Overall, the study shows that Generation Z’s cryptocurrency investment decisions are more emotionally driven—through social media, influencers, and FOMO—than based on rational information.
