Enterprise risk management and supply chain effectiveness: Evidence in the Indonesian electricity project

The research aimed to know the influence of long-term relationships, information sharing, Cooperation, and integration process in partial on the supply chain effectiveness of the EPC Steam Power Plant project in the Province of North Sulawesi. It was also to know whether enterprise risk management moderates the influence, long-term relationship, information sharing, Cooperation, and integration process toward supply chain effectiveness. The employees who became the sample in the supply chain activities of the steam power plant project in North Sulawesi were 250 people, 149 of whom were proportionally from the project owner. The research uses the data analysis technique using Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Square. The result of the study indicated that long-term relationships, information sharing, Cooperation, and integration process partially have a positive and significant influence on supply chain effectiveness. In addition, enterprise risk management proved to moderate the impact of information sharing. Still, it needed to moderate the effect of a long-term relationship, Cooperation, and integration process on the supply chain effectiveness of the EPC Steam Power Plant Sulut-3 project

Building Business Performance through Partnership Strategy Model: Evidence from Renewable Energy Industry in Indonesia

This research was carried out as an effort to encourage performance improvement of renewable energy power plants. The purpose of this study was conducted to measure the level of influence of strategic partnerships in creating better business performance in renewable energy industry companies in Indonesia. Strategic partnerships have an important role in developing business performance, including by encouraging dynamic capabilities, supply chains, and improving the regulatory system owned by the renewable energy business lines in Indonesia. Our previous research model that we published shows that regulation plays a very dominant role, then we modify it by issuing regulatory variables that uncontrollable by management. We try to see the effect of exogenous variables that can be fully controlled. Data related to renewable energy industry is collected and presented in this study for completeness. Test data using partial least square equipped with various supporting data obtained from government institutions and private sector that have sufficient information about renewable energy industry. The findings of this study state that to improve business performance, strategic partnerships need to be carried out optimally through various efforts including strengthening collaboration in aligning the supply chain and developing dynamic capabilities within the organization. For the future, it is expected that all stakeholders involved in the renewable electricity generation industry in Indonesia can improve their business performance so that they can increase electricity supply to remote villages and able to transform use of primary energy sources from fossils to environmentally friendly renewable energy where potential is widely spread throughout region so that sustainable life in the world is more awake.

THE UTILIZATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, THE USER SATISFATION OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEM AND TASK COMPLEXITY: Study in Banking Industry at Bengkulu city

The objective of the study was to know the effect of the utilization of information technology (in term of diversity of information technology utilization and the extent of information technology utilization) toward user atisfaction of accounting information system using the task complexity as the moderating variable. This research used survey method by using questioners to gather data. The samples of this research were 44 middle and lower managers from banking industry in Bengkulu city. To test the effect of the interaction between the utilization of information technology and task complexity toward user satisfaction of accounting information system used multiple regression analysis. The research showed that the diversity and the extent of information technology had the positive significant effect toward the user satisfaction of accounting information system. The interaction between the diversity of information technology utilization and task complexity significantly influenced the user satisfaction of accounting information system, and the interaction between the extent of information technology utilization and task complexity also significantly influenced the user satisfaction of accounting information system

The design and implementation of a performance measurement system to pursue school excellence: the integration of Indonesian National Accreditation Standard into Baldrige Education Criteria

In order to measure the school performance, Indonesian educational institutions used to pay attention only to the result of National Accreditation by the Government. However, it is not sufficient if they want a higher performance achievement. In pursuit of excellent school, educational institutions also need to make continuous improvements to enhance its performance and strive to deploy any initiatives that can help the schools to reach their excellent performance. This research aimed to develop an assessment tool for measuring the performance of excellent school, in which the design integrated the current measurement system (i.e. National Accreditation System) into the existing performance excellence model (i.e.Malcolm Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence). The integration is necessary due to the needs that the current measurement system should be upgraded with any performance excellence models, but the design itself will retain the local content that exists in National acreditation System. The first outcome of this research was a performance measurement model which is packaged into an online software called KiSekul v.1.0 (first edition). Then, the implementation of the design was done in two Indonesian high school institutions, namely SMAN 15 Surabaya and MAN Lamongan. The results showed that both schools have performance at advanced stage level. In terms of maturity level, SMAN 15 Surabaya was at the stage of benchmark leader, whereas MAN Lamongan was categorized as a world leader. As the final result, the evaluation was also made to the design and results of the implementation, hence its revision, KiSekul v.2.0 (second edition) was designed as a form of continuous improvement to revise the initial design of KiSekul
