This study examines the interaction effect between transformational leadership, transactional leadership, wireless IT competence, ambidexterity and supply chain management capability in increasing innovation capability. By using a knowledge-based view and dynamic capability theory basis, this research has provided an exploration of the supply chain of a merchant marine college and its impact on innovation capability using a quantitative method approach. The authors collected data from a cross-section of 673 questionnaires distributed to Managers in 3 managerial classifications from top, middle and bottom in the technical service unit of the merchant marine college under the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation. A total of 523 data were collected from questionnaires that could be continued for data analysis. The results of this study indicate that all the hypotheses put forward in this study are accepted, and the role of mediating variables in this research has succeeded in demonstrating their role in mediating each antecedent variable to increase innovation capability. The theoretical implication of this research is the growth of cloud or virtual supply chains facilitated by digital wireless communications, and internet technology is advancing logistics and supply chain innovations. Also, it can reinforce theory and dynamic capability.

This study examines the impact of relaxation of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) access on the trans-regional investment behavior of Indonesian enterprises. Utilizing data from publicly listed companies between 2010 and 2022, this study investigates how easing FDI restrictions influences the geographic distribution of subsidiaries. The findings indicate that FDI access relaxation significantly promotes trans-regional investment, driven by reduced government subsidies and lower market intervention. These mechanisms enable enterprises to expand beyond local markets by decreasing their dependency on government support and lowering their transaction costs. Robustness tests, including first-order difference models and dynamic distribution tests, confirmed the reliability of the results. This study suggests that a further reduction in FDI restrictions can enhance domestic market integration, mitigate capital market segmentation, and promote inclusive economic growth. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence of the economic benefits of FDI access policies and offers new strategies for addressing market segmentation in Indonesia.

This research examined the connections of efficiency, regulatory and good corporate governance (GCG) variables on the achievement or performance of financial aspects and social reporting from Indonesia’s Shariah banks generally. Data and samples collected in this research include 34 Shariah banks, which are administered in the central bank, Bank of Indonesia for the year of 2009 until 2022. The financial achievement was determined with return on assets, and social reporting was determined with dummy 1 if the banks issue Islamic social reporting, and 0 otherwise. Regulation variables were measured with nonperforming financing (NPF), capital adequacy ratio (CAR), financial to deposit ratio (FDR), and net operating margin (NOM). Corporate governance variables were measured with firm age, board education, and board meeting. Efficiency variable was assessed with operating costs to revenue. The results show that regulation variables significantly impact financial achievement and social reporting, except NPF and CAR have nothing significant influence on Islamic social reporting. Efficiency variables significantly impact Islamic social reporting and financial achievement. Corporate governance variables significantly influence financial achievement and Islamic social reporting. Meanwhile firm age and board meetings have no remarkable influence on financial achievement.

Changes are occurring in customers demanding that companies produce environmentally friendly products. Apart from that, there is pressure from the government so that companies carrying out business activities can follow the rules and regulations set. The company has developed a system that uses technology to support production process activities properly and adequately. Blockchain technology makes green supply chain implementation faster and more flexible to continue improving supply chain performance. Data is collected on companies implementing blockchain technology and environmentally friendly programs. Data was collected at 512 manufacturing companies in Indonesia using Google Forms, which was distributed via email and social media. Data analysis used PLS to answer all research hypotheses. The research results showed that blockchain technology significantly influenced green supply chain management of 0.816, green practice of 0.370, supply chain flexibility of 0.115, and green supply chain performance of 0.150. Green supply chain management is a commitment for companies that have become top management commitments to adopt by reducing consumption of materials that impact the environment, which affects green supply practices of 0.473, supply chain flexibility of 0.244, and green supply chain performance of 0.247. Green supply practice, as a form of company best practice application, can influence supply chain flexibility by 0.428 and green supply chain performance by 0.214. Supply chain flexibility that has been running in manufacturing companies has had a significant impact on green supply chain performances of 0.331. This research provides a practical contribution to top management's commitment to running a green supply chain to increase company performance. Contribution for regulators and rule makers to continue to carry out continuous monitoring of business actors. Theoretical contributions to enrich theories about the green environment, green supply chain management, and blockchain technology.

Materialism has emerged as a growing global drift in the past decade. This study highlights the influence of materialism on consumers' attitudes and actions regarding the purchase of environmentally sustainable products (ESPs) in a country such as Pakistan, which environmental orientations are in the developing stage. Materialistic perspectives can hinder the formation of positive attitudes towards environmentally sustainable products, especially when consumers engage in product comparisons. To evaluate the effects of materialism and product comparisons on purchasing intentions and behaviors, a survey was conducted among university students. The results revealed that consumers tend to avoid purchasing experience goods primarily because these items require a higher degree of involvement and risk assessment due to their intangible and experiential nature. This avoidance is particularly pronounced when the subjective norms and attitudes toward these goods are influenced by materialistic values, which often prioritize tangible, ownership-oriented products.
