The focus of this research was to investigate the effect of green market orientation on business performance. For that purpose, this research tested that green market orientation has a direct effect on business performance, that green market orientation affects green innovation, and that green innovation affects business performance. As a quantitative research, partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS–SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. Data were collected by using both online and offline questionnaires from owners/managers of the manufacturing micro, small- and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the East Java Province of Indonesia. A total of 175 respondents participated in this study. The results show that green market orientation has a positive and direct effect on business performance. The results empirically support the theory of sustainability and entrepreneurship in the research setting of Indonesian MSMEs. The results also imply that the owners/managers of MSMEs need to balance economic, environmental, and social issues in their business. In the era of sustainable development and environmental awareness, manufacturing MSMEs need to adopt a green market orientation and carry out green innovation in their business processes to obtain a better business performance.

Purpose – The paper aims to clarify the unclear relationship between management accounting information systems and SME business performance by having intellectual capital as mediating variable. This will expand the domain of management accounting information usage from SME’s perspective. Design/methodology/approach – The paper used a descriptive study using the close-ended questionnaire distributed to 428 SMEs in East Java Region. The data were complemented by statistical analysis using SMART PLS to test the mediation role of intellectual capital. Findings – The paper provided empirical evidence that intellectual capital plays as a quasi mediating for management accounting information system and business performance relationship. This encouraged SME to optimize their IT usage to maximize the benefit of implementing MAIS. Research limitations/implications – Since management accounting system needs for business varied, future study needs to consider the level of IT usage. Therefore, future researchers are encouraged to investigate how to set the usage level. Practical implications – The paper included implications for the development of higher level of IT usage, such as management accounting information system to gain the benefits, that is increased business performance. Originality value – This paper filled the gap in IT usage from SMEs’ perspective by expanding the role of intellectual capital on the relationship of management accounting information systems on business performance.

This study aims to examine the effect of global market orientation strategy on the performance of Indonesian Higher Education Institutions. Furthermore, it investigates whether this relationship is mediated by intellectual capital readiness and open innovation. This is a quantitative study employing a multi-mediation research model conceptualizing the relationship among the five constructs. This study employs a resource-based view to explain the relationships among constructs and partial least squares-structural equation modeling to test the hypotheses studied. A sample of 119 schools/faculties, derived from the 50 best state and private institutions in Indonesia and based on the Webometrics 2021, was used. This research reveals the following main results. First, intellectual capital readiness fully mediates the influence of global market orientation strategy on the institutions’ performances. Second, open innovation does not mediate the effect of global market orientation strategy on institutions’ performances. This study is the first attempt to understand how global market orientation strategy enhances institutions’ performances via intellectual capital readiness and open innovation. This study reveals the insignificant effect of open innovation on performance. Thus, the main implication of these findings is that institutions need to downstream their innovations to the community for future performance and communities’ benefits. The applied execution does matter in the open innovation–institution performance relationship.

Manuscript type: Research paper. Research aims: This study aims to examine how contextual variables which include innovation strategy, management accounting infor- mation system and internal business process performance affect the financial performance of manufacturing companies in East Java, Indonesia. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: This study employs a quantitative approach to explain the relationship among the variables. The data of 135 managers were collected and then analysed through the partial least squares (PLS) approach. Research findings: Results show that management accounting infor- mation system and business process performance partially mediate the innovation strategy-financial performance relationship. Theoretical contributions/ Originality: This study expands on pre- vious works by investigating the roles of management accounting information system and internal business process performance as mediating variables between innovation strategy and firm’s financial performance. Practitioner/ Policy implications: This study provides insights into how management accounting information system and internal busi- ness process performance impact innovation strategy and financial performance. The results imply that managers need to improve the design and implementation of their accounting system and their internal business process performance. This initiative can support the firm’s innovation strategy which impacts on the firm’s financial performance. The implications drawn from this study justify two things: (1) firms need to be more proactive in their product and process innovations so as to remain competitive in the global market; and (2) managers need to develop intangible assets such as a management accounting information system in the era of knowledge economy. Research limitation: This study focusses on the manufacturing companies of the East Java Province of Indonesia therefore, general- isability of the findings may be restricted. Future studies need to incorporate larger and more diverse samples. This study did not consider the companies’ business life cycle hence, the full impact of the firms’ financial performance may not have been captured. Keywords: Financial Performance, Innovation Strategy, Internal Business Process Performance, Management Accounting Information System. JEL Classification: M41

Indonesia is one of the most densely populated countries in the world so that this country has a population of productive age. However, Java Island has several provinces with varying unemployment rates. This study uses secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency and via the internet to complete the data. The analytical method used in this research is multiple linear regression with the help of Eviews software. The results showed that the education and investment variables consisting of foreign investment did not have a significant effect on the unemployment variable and investment which consisted of domestic investment had a significant effect on the unemployment variable through the t test. The coefficient of determination (R2) is 0.3686, which means that 36.9 percent of the variation in unemployment in Java can be explained by variations in the 3 independent variables, namely economic growth and unemployment, while it is explained by other variables not mentioned in the research model.   Keywords: Education , Investment, Unemployment Rate.
