This research develops and tests the consistencies of the relation between supply chain management practices, e-business technologies and operational performance. The data for this research is obtained from 67 companies. The relations proposed in the framework of this research are tested using partial least square analysis. The findings of this research shows the impact of supply chain management practices and e-business technologies have an effect on improvement of operational performance. The analysis also found the existence of interaction effect between SCM practices and e-business technologies, both on operational performance

Growth and Convergence in Southeast Asia Sugarcane Industries

This paper analyses growth and convergence on sugarcane industry in southeast Asia countries. Important questions in this paper are whether the growth of sugar cane industry in Southeast Asia moves toward a convergence or divergence trend over time and to what extent the economic integration influences the development and policy of those countries. This paper is a cross-country study and employs GLS techniques. Some countries involved in the analysis are Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, The Philippines, and Vietnam. The finding suggests that based on ƒÒ convergence approach, both basic variable and equation with dummy indicate that these variables could explain the convergence and speed of convergence within the industry. Furthermore, The regression results also strengthen the finding of £m - convergence.Convergence, Growth, Sugarcane.

Growth in East Java : Convergence or Divergence ?

This study try to identify the â-convergence process among regions in East Java using cross-section data of 30 regions for period 1983-2001, taking into account the presence of spatial heterogeneity and spatial dependence. Detection of spatial regimes using G-I* statistics on regional per capita GDP values in 1983 found cluster of high income regions (group of “rich”) in central & eastern part of East Java, and cluster of low income regions (group of “poor”) in western part. The result of OLS & GLS regression on absolute convergence model does not found any convergence process in East Java regional income. The convergence process is only found in spatial cross regressive absolute â-convergence model estimated for spatial club A (group of “rich”), but there is no evident for the same convergence process is happening in spatial club B (group of “poor”). Using the spatial cross-regressive model for absolute â-convergence this study founds that the coefficient of spatial lag of initial income (ô) is positive and significant in every equations. This shows how the spatial dependence has a significant contribution in explaining regional income growth in East Java. The positive and significant sign of (ô), means that the growth of a region is affected by initial income of its neighbors. The region which surrounded by wealthy neighbors will grow faster than the region surrounded by poor neighbors. The effect of neighbor’s initial income level to the growth of a region can be a result of technological or pecuniary spillovers. This will be the situation when technology or cost of production in a region depends not just on factors within the region but also on the level of technology in the neighbors (technology is embodied in in factors of production). These effects can be consider as supply-side externalitiesâ-convergence, spatial heterogeneity, spatial dependence

Marketing Communication Strategy Through Social Media to Increase Children Book Sales

The purpose of this research was to determine the marketing communication strategy of children\u27s books through social media in increasing sales. Qualitative research methods with the interpretive paradigm and the phenomenological approach were used in this research. The focus of this research was to observe about the children\u27s books marketing communication strategy using social media, for instance with Facebook and Twitter to attract consumer\u27s interest in order to increase children\u27s books sales. The results of this study show that the children\u27s book marketing communication strategies in publisher\u27s social media are fully and interactively utilized, as seen from the various activities posted on Facebook and Twitter. As well as the positive response from consumers who show their interest and desire to buy books offered or follow the event being held in order to increase sales

CLUB CONVERGENCE & REGIONAL SPILLOVERS IN EAST JAVA

This study try to identify the â-convergence process among regions in East Java using panel data of 37 regencies & municipalities between 1983-2002, taking into account the presence of spatial heterogeneity and spillover effects. Detection of spatial regimes using G-I* statistics (Getis & Ord, 1995) on regional per capita GDP values in 1983 found cluster of high income regions (group of “rich”) in central & eastern part of East Java, and cluster of low income regions (group of “poor”) in western part. The result of OLS & GLS regression on absolute convergence model found the existence of â-divergence process of East Java in overall period (1983-2003), consistent with the ó convergence which showing upward trend (divergence). Meanwhile, the same divergence process is also found in absolute convergence equation estimated for each club, even though in slower rate than East Java divergence rate. Using the methodology proposed by Burn, Combes, & Renard (2002) this study founds the existence of negative spillover effects between regions in “rich” clubs and from “rich” clubs to the “poor” one, where the magnitude is greater in the latter case. The club of “poor” regions is diverging faster than the “rich”. This finding is robust in every convergence equation (with or without the spillover effects). The lack of diversity on East Java’s manufacturing industries (Santosa & Michael, 2005 and Landiyanto, 2005) seems contribute to its divergence process by engaging a competitive mode between regions.â-convergence, divergence, spatial regimes, spillover effects

Pengembangan Model Simulasi Break Picture Berbasis Nilai pada Pembelajaran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan

The purpose of this research is to develop a Break Picture Simulation Models -Based Value, intended to attract learners in the Citizenship improvement learning; by blending simulation method with picture and picture model that has been modified to break picture. The selected Picture is a Picture Media -based value, so it's called Break Picture Simulations model-based value. Research methods using Research and Development (R and D). The development of research product design model, materials and media. The results showed ttest, of significance 5%, by techniques before and after: 20.880; when compared with ttab after the interpolation 2.002, it's seen ttes>ttab. Comparison with the control class, of significance 5%, indicates ttes 5,971; when compared with ttab after interpolated 2.002, then seen ttes>ttab. by effectiveness of models is Gain 2.00; or 1, 48 x conventional.Tujuan penelitian ini mengembangkan Model Simulasi Break Picture Berbasis Nilai, dimaksudkan untuk menarik minat siswa dalam peningkatan pembelajaran Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan; dengan memadukan metode simulasi dan model picture and picture yang dimodifikasi menjadi break picture.
