This study investigated the influence of Dynamic Capabilities (DC) and Digital Transformation (DT) on Business Resilience During the COVID-19 Pandemic. Using cross-sectional data from 388 micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) of beekeeping in Indonesia. Furthermore, the data were analyzed by Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis and executed by SmartPLS 3.0 software. The main results of this study indicate that DC plays an important role in improving MSMEs’ DT. However, the essential role of DT on firm resilience only happened for micro, small, and medium firms of family businesses. However, DT has an insignificant effect on firm resilience in small nonfamily businesses. Yet, the effect of DC on firm resilience is mediated by DT. Nevertheless, our empirical findings indicate heterogeneous effects among micro, small, and medium firms. Based on the study’s findings, we suggested that the policy implication in developing beekeeping firms should be more specific based on the firm scale. The results of this study can be generalized to the national level to inform decision-making regarding the intangible assets of MSME livestock products in developing countries. The findings are also relevant to other livestock products, which tend to be dynamic during a crisis.
ABSTRAK Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis curahan tenaga kerja terhadap usaha sapi potong, analisis produktivitas teknik tenaga kerja dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi produktivitas teknik tenaga kerja usaha peternakan skala kecil. Lokasi penelitian di kecamatan Tumpang, Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur. Jumlah responden 90 peternak. Analisis data menggunakan Structural Equation Model (SEM), software yang digunakan warpPLS 5.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa curahan kerja anggota keluarga (suami, istri dan anak) sebanyak 4 jam/hari. Curahan tenaga kerja non keluarga sebanyak 0,08 jam/hari yang digunakan untuk menncari hijauan. Produktivitas teknis usahaternak sapi potong tidak efisien dan Tingkat partisipasi anak terhadap usahaternak sapi potong 11%. Model partisipasi tenaga kerja keluarga, jumlah kepemilikan ternak dan partisipasi anak terhadap usaha sapi potong memiliki pengaruh terhadap produktivitas teknis. Tingkat partisipasi anak dalan usahaternak sapi potong memiliki pengaruh positif terhadap produktivitas teknis tenaga kerja. Kata Kunci: curahan tenaga kerja, partisipasi anak, produktivitas tenaga kerja, usaha sapi potong ABSTRACT The research objective was to analyze the outpouring of labor for beef cattle business, the analysis of labor engineering productivity and the factors that influence the productivity of small-scale livestock business labor techniques. Research location in Tumpang sub-district, Malang Regency, East Java. The number of respondents 90 farmers. Data analysis using the Structural Equation Model (SEM), the software used warpPLS 5.0. The results showed that the workflow of family members (husband, wife and children) was 4 hours/day. Non-family labor was as much as 0.08 hours/day used to search forage. The technical productivity of beef cattle business was inefficient and the level of children's participation in the beef cattle business is 11%. The model of family labor participation, the number of livestock ownership and child participation in the beef cattle business influence technical productivity. The level of participation of children in beef cattle business has a positive influence on the Technical Productivity of Labor. Keywords: beef cattle business, child participation, labor productivity, the outpouring of labor
Baluran National Park faces public pressure in the form of illegal grazing, which threatens the preservation of flora and fauna in it. This study aims to analyze illegal grazing activities that threaten the conservation efforts of Baluran National Park in Sumberwaru Village, Asembagus district, Situbondo. Data collection was carried out from April to June 2021 with a qualitative approach. The data were taken from several key informants, namely 3 Baluran National Park officers, the Village Head of Sumberwaru, the Head of Loka Pasuruan, the Situbondo Livestock Service, and 12 extensive semi-intensive beef cattle breeders. The results showed that the behavior of illegal grazing was caused by cultural factors that did not prioritize profit but only as an investment and indicator of social status. As a result, maintenance management is very efficient and depends on feed that can be obtained for free by grazing wildly in the Baluran National Park conservation area. The solution required is a participatory Collaborative Forest Management that benefits all stakeholders.

| This study aims to investigate the role of customer knowledge management (CKM) in achieving competitive advantage (CA) through innovation capability (IC) and the role of firm age as a moderator between IC and CA. This study uses a quantitative approach with Smart PLS 3.0 multivariate Structural Equation Model (SEM) analysis. Data were collected from a survey with 210 business people selected using a purposive method. The first inclusion criterion is running a micro, small, or medium enterprise (MSME) in the beekeeping industry (with business sizes determined based on the number of workers, assets, and turnover as stipulated in the Law of the Republic of Indonesia No. 20 of 2008 concerning MSMEs. The second criterion is having been in business for at least ten years. The findings show that IC mediates CKM in achieving CA. There are also positive impacts of CKM on IC, IC on CA, and CKM on CA. The results indicate that young firms have higher IC, empowering them to obtain CA. This study confirms that CKM, IC, and CA are intangible assets sensitive to firm age. However, this study is limited to honey product MSMEs in East Java and respondents with a business aged ten years and above. Nonetheless, the findings can inform future studies on other dynamic MSME products in food and non-food sectors, especially in a post-crisis context, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. Understanding dynamic MSME products can help the sector bounce back after a crisis so it can contribute to GDP and the economy.
