Utječe li marketinška strategija usmjerena okolišu na marketinške i financijske učinke? Istraživanje indonezijskih izvoznih poduzeća

Purpose – Broadly speaking, the implementation of green practice leads to higher performance in exporting firms. To test this concept empirically, this study proposes environmental marketing strategy as an antecedent of product differentiation and cost leadership as a means to promote marketing and financial performance. Design/Methodology/Approach – This study was conducted on 388 respondents serving as operational, production, and marketing managers of Indonesian exporting firms and used structural equation modelling (SEM) with AMOS 18 as an analysis technique. Findings and implications – The findings revealed that environmental marketing strategy significantly influences product differentiation and cost leadership. More specifically, product differentiation simultaneously influences marketing and financial performance. However, cost leadership influences financial performance but not marketing performance. This study implies the importance of environmental orientation in setting a firm strategy and promoting the performance of international firms. Limitations – The measurement items proposed in this study were adopted from studies conducted in developed countries; they have not been proven appropriate for direct application in developing countries such as Indonesia. Originality – This study is original in that it explores the importance of environmental studies in setting a firm strategy and promoting the performance of international business.Svrha – Općenito govoreći, provedba zelene prakse vodi većoj učinkovitosti poslovanja izvoznih poduzeća. Kako bi se empirijski testirao taj koncept, u istraživanju se predlaže marketinška strategija usmjerena okolišu kao prethodnica diferencijacije proizvoda i vodstva u troškovima te kao sredstvo za promicanje marketinškog i financijskog poslovanja. Metodološki pristup – Istraživanje je provedeno na 388 ispitanika koji su operacijski, proizvodni i marketinški menadžeri indonezijskih izvoznih poduzeća pa je korišteno modeliranje strukturnih jednadžbi (SEM) sa softverom AMOS 18 za analizu podataka. Rezultati i implikacije – Rezultati otkrivaju da marketinška strategija usmjerena okolišu značajno utječe na diferencijaciju proizvoda i na vodstvo u troškovima. Konkretnije, diferencijacija proizvoda istovremeno utječe na marketinške i financijske rezultate. Međutim, vodstvo u troškovima utječe samo na financijske rezultate, ali ne i na marketinške. Istraživanje upućuje na važnost orijentacije prema okolišu u postavljanju strategije poduzeća i promoviranju poslovanja međunarodnih poduzeća. Ograničenja – Mjerne čestice korištene u istraživanju preuzete su iz postojećih istraživanja provedenih u razvijenim zemljama, a nije dokazana njihova pogodnost za izravnu primjenu u zemljama u razvoju kao što je Indonezija. Doprinos – Doprinos rada jest u istraživanju važnosti studija o okolišu u postavljanju strategije poduzeća i promociji djelovanja međunarodnog poslovanja

Internal Whistleblowing: Analysis of Personal Characteristics and Organizational Commitments with Ethical Climate as Moderating Variables

The desire of individuals within an organization to be willing to take whistleblowing actions will be very beneficial for the organization to achieve its goals. However, the desire or intention to carry out internal whistleblowing is still low in practice. This can be caused by organizational commitment, Personal Cost, Machiavellian Character, and Ethical Climate. This study examines and analyzes the effect of organizational commitment, personal cost, and machiavellian character on the intention to carry out internal whistleblowing with an ethical climate as a moderating variable. This research was conducted using a survey method by distributing questionnaires to civil servants in the finance department of the Riau Provincial Government. The non-probability sampling technique does the sampling technique. Seventy-three questionnaires can be used. Data analysis using WarpPLS 7.0. The findings of this study suggest that the intention to engage in internal whistleblowing is influenced by organizational commitment, personal cost, and Machiavellian character. The influence of organizational commitment, personal cost, and machiavellian character on the intention to engage in internal whistleblowing can be moderated by the ethical contex

THE CORRELATION OF LEFT VENTRICULAR MECHANICAL DISPERSION AND LEFT VENTRICULAR EJECTION FRACTION WITH QT DISPERSION IN END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE PATIENTS ON HEMODIALYSIS BEFORE AND AFTER DIALYSIS

Background: Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) is common in dialytic patients. Left Ventricular Mechanical Dispersion (LVMD) could provide an inhomogeneous of left ventricular myocardium contraction lead to VA. Reduced Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF) and QT Dispersion (QTd) are well-known VA predictors in dialytic patients. This study aimed to determine the relationship between LVMD and LVEF on QT dispersion in ESRD patients before and after dialysis.

Novel PID Controller on Battery Energy Storage Systems for Frequency Dynamics Enhancement

Frequency dynamics is one of the important aspects of power system stability. From the frequency dynamics, the operator could plan how is the reliability of the electricity. The frequency can be maintained by controlling the balance between load demand and generation. To maintain the balance of the generation, the governor is playing an important role to increase the speed of the turbine and enhance the generating capacity of the generator (ramp-up). However, as the speed of the governor is slower than the increasing load demand, in the sub-transient area, the frequency may experience higher overshoot. Hence, it is important to add additional devices such as battery energy storage systems to enhance the frequency dynamics response in the sub-transient area. One of the important parts of storage is the controller. The controller must make sure the storage charges and discharge energy are in the sub-transient area. Hence PID controller can be the solution to make the storage operate optimally This paper proposed a novel PID controller on battery energy storage systems (BESS) to enhance the dynamics performance of frequencies. The five-area power system is used as the test system to investigate the efficacy of the proposed novel idea. Time domain simulation is investigated to see the improvement of the frequency dynamics response. From the simulation results, it is found that adding a PID controller on BESS could enhance the BESS response and result in frequency dynamics response improvement
