THE NEXUS OF FINANCIAL LITERACY, FINANCIAL TECHNOLOGY, AND FINANCIAL INCLUSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: INSIGHTS FROM LAMONGAN'S CULINARY MSMES

Background: The MSME culinary sector is one of the most popular industries in Indonesia, particularly in Lamongan. MSME entrepreneurs in this sector need to enhance their understanding of financial literacy and financial inclusion to improve their business's financial performance. Additionally, keeping up with modern developments by utilizing financial technology is crucial to optimizing financial management. Research Purpose: This study aims to understand how financial literacy, fintech, and financial inclusion impact the financial performance of culinary micro, small, and medium enterprises in Lamongan. Research Method: This study uses an explanatory quantitative research approach. Data collection was conducted through Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 140 MSME respondents in the culinary sector in Lamongan. These respondents were selected using purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Findings: The study reveals that financial literacy and inclusion enhance the financial performance of culinary micro, small, and medium enterprises in Lamongan. While fintech's role is insignificant, a synergistic approach involving all three factors significantly contributes to improved performance.

The defense industry has recently received attention due to its significant advancements. This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial performance of companies operating in the Turkish defense sector. The financial data from 2019 to 2023 of defense industry firms listed on Borsa Istanbul, namely ASELS, OTKAR, PAPIL, SDTTR, NETAŞ, and KATMER, were analyzed.

Manajemen Risiko Bisnis BMT di Tengah Pandemi COVID-19

The economic contraction in the MSME (Micro Small and Medium Enterprises) sector during the Covid pandemic directly impacted financial business performance. On a micro scale, BMT (Baitul Maal wat Tamwil) as a sharia microfinance institution is affected by the weakening of economic activity in the MSME sector. This is understandable because in its activities, BMT makes MSMEs its business partners.

Meanwhile, operational risks are characterized by restrictions on access to the office, physical distancing, and increased operational costs. Meanwhile, liquidity risk is characterized by an abundance of funds in cash. Second, risk management at BMT NU Jatim Balung Branch and BMT UGT Nusantara Rambipuji Jember is carried out sequentially starting from risk identification, measurement, analysis and control activities. Based on this process, tactical steps are then developed to handle each aspect of risk. Financing risks include financing moratorium steps, intensive collection, restructuring and creating reserves for losses. Operational risks are approached by the issuance of new rules regarding office operating systems and rules related to the implementation of Health procedures.

Credit Cost Management and Financial Performance of Hotel Businesses in Kenya

This study explores the impact of credit cost management on the financial performance of businesses in Kenya's hospitality sector. Specifically, it examines how interest rates, loan collateral, and loan repayment terms influence the profitability and financial stability of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the industry. The study is supported by Loanable funds theory, Credit scorecards theory and Tradeoff theory. Through a desk review of existing literature, the study identifies that high interest rates increase the cost of borrowing, creating financial pressure on businesses, while lower rates support profitability. Loan collateral is found to be a major determinant of access to credit, with businesses that provide sufficient collateral securing loans more easily. Flexible loan repayment terms contribute to better cash flow management and liquidity, improving overall financial performance. The study concludes that effective credit cost management is critical for the success of hospitality businesses and recommends that financial institutions and policymakers collaborate to provide more favorable credit terms, including lower interest rates, reduced collateral requirements, and more flexible repayment options. Increased transparency in loan agreements and government interventions to support SMEs are also essential for fostering financial growth in the sector.

Significance of Subsidiaries for Improving Financial Performance in the Sugar Industry: A Quantitative Analysis

One of the greatest plants today for converting solar energy into biomass and sugar is sugar cane. It is a plentiful supply of fuel, chemicals, fodder (green cane plant leaves and tops, bagasse, molasses, and to some extent press mud), food (sucrose, jaggery, and syrup), fiber (cellulose), and other nutrients. Bagasse, molasses, and press mud are the principal byproducts. Bangladesh has been farming sugarcane for the production of gud, sukker, and khandeswari since very ancient times. These sweeteners can also be made from palm and date juice. The objectives of the study were to examine the significance of subsidiaries for improving financial performance in the sugar industry. The utilization of secondary data helped researchers accomplish their goals. Multiple regression analysis will be employed to assess secondary data gathered from diverse sources in order to uncover significant predictors of the business's financial performance. The study revealed that the distillery unit significantly increases net profit every financial year, recovering losses from other units like sugar and agro-firms. The sugar division loses money each fiscal year, while the agro-farm unit gradually loses money. The fertilizer unit earns a significant profit, contributing to minimizing the losses of other units like sugar and agro-firms. Only Carew & Company (Bangladesh) Limited has a distillery plant out of the 15 sugar mills. [Keywords: Byproduct, sugar mills, distillery unit, cost minimize and sugarcane.]

Perubahan Kombinasi Bisnis Implementasi Dan Dampak PSAK 22 Terhadap Kinerja Keuangan Perusahaan

Using a literature research methodology, this paper investigates how business combination accounting was implemented both before and after PSAK 22, which is now known as PSAK 103 on Business Combinations. This research analyzes profit margin, return on equity (ROE), and return on assets (ROA) to assess the impact of PSAK 22 on the business's financial performance. Prior to PSAK 22, businesses often employed the "purchase method" or "pooling of interest." Results from prior research indicate that ROA, ROE, and profit margins are significantly impacted by business combinations. Although financial performance is frequently improved by mergers and acquisitions, the outcomes differ among industries. This article requires a broader range of information in order to function as a reference for future study on business combinations with PSAK 22/103 case studies and more diverse variables.

The Effect of Covid-19 on Business Financial Performance

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant negative impact on the Turkish economy and the global economy. Turkey’s economy contracted by 10.2% in 2020, recording the most significant decline since the 1950s. The effects of the epidemic could also be observed on companies which had to close or lay off staff. This study aims to examine the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the forest industry by revealing the financial performance of publicly traded forest industry companies in Turkey before and after COVID-19. For this purpose, the financial performances of 11 companies operating in the forest products industry in Turkey and registered in the BIST XKGT index in the 2017-2022 period were examined. In this context, we used the integrated Entropy-CP method. In the initial phase of analysis, criteria weights were determined using the entropy method to assess the significance levels of the financial ratios. Subsequently, financial success rankings were generated by employing the CP method. In general, it was observed that the weight values of the criteria were close to each other. As a result, it was determined that the companies showed the best average financial success in 2022 and the lowest average financial performance in 2017. Following the pandemic’s occurrence, some companies’ performance improved, while others experienced a partial decline. Therefore, no general improvement or worsening trend could be detected during the years of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the context of this study, it was concluded that the pandemic did not affect the financial performance of companies operating in the forest products sector.

MAXIMIZING RETURNS: UNVEILING THE IMPACT OF LIQUIDITY, EFFICIENCY, AND DIVIDEND POLICY ON ASSETS

With an emphasis on Return on Assets (ROA), this study examines the interdependent dynamics of liquidity, efficiency, and dividend policy on business financial performance. With a quantitative research design, the study seeks to clarify how these components together affect organizational effectiveness. Regression analysis is used in the study to look at the associations between the dependent variable, ROA, and the important independent variables, current assets, quick ratio, liquidity, and dividend, using data from ITC Ltd. that was obtained from Moneycontrol over a five-year period (2019–2023). The findings show a strong relationship between liquidity, efficiency, dividend policy, and return on assets (ROA), with liquidity standing out as the main factor and efficiency and dividend policy following closely behind. The results highlight how crucial these variables are in determining financial performance and provide insightful information for organizational resource allocation and strategic decision-making. The study does, however, admit certain limitations, such as the possibility of wider generalizability and the dependence on data from a single organization. Further research is recommended to increase the sample size, carry out longitudinal studies, and investigate qualitative techniques in order to gain a deeper comprehension of and identify the causal factors behind the dynamics of financial success.

How Can We Remove Psychological Entrepreneurship Barriers on Entrepreneurship Intention for Health Organizations in the Future?

Entrepreneurial orientation significantly influences business financial performance, particularly in global markets, making it pivotal across economies. Developed nations provide a conducive environment for entrepreneurship, supported by educational systems and skill development programs. Conversely, in developing countries, cultural and social disparities create unique challenges, shaping entrepreneurial intentions. Psychological barriers such as risk aversion, fear of failure, and resistance to change hinder potential entrepreneurs, particularly in health science faculties. A study conducted in Turkey aimed to explore these barriers among health science students. Data collected from 788 students revealed that psychological factors explained 72% of entrepreneurial intentions. Regression analysis confirmed the significance of risk avoidance, fear of failure, attitude towards change, and stress avoidance in shaping intentions. Despite these barriers, heightened entrepreneurial intentions among health students were associated with greater success in overcoming obstacles. The findings emphasize the importance of addressing psychological barriers in fostering innovative and entrepreneurial healthcare professionals. By understanding these dynamics, educational institutions, policymakers, and healthcare practitioners can better support the development of an entrepreneurial healthcare workforce. The intersection of healthcare and entrepreneurship presents opportunities for transformative solutions, potentially enhancing patient outcomes and advancing the healthcare sector. Despite challenges, emerging trends suggest a growing interest in leveraging innovation for positive change in healthcare, highlighting the potential for impactful contributions to the industry’s evolution.

Digitalization and Firm Performance: Empirical Evidence from Forbes-listed Companies

As the world goes digital, many companies have found that their performance improves when they digitize their operations. This is especially true in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, as companies must rely more on digital tools to survive. Our paper aims to examine the connection between digital competitiveness and the financial performance of 86 digital businesses at the country level before, during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic over the period 2017--2021. Unlike previous findings that relied on qualitative methods, our research relies on quantitative methods. More precisely, we empirically examine the impact of digital competitiveness (i.e., an index) on financial performance (i.e., measured by return on assets) through linear regression models and panel data regressions for three specific periods (2017-2019 pre-pandemic, 2020 pandemic, and 2021 post-pandemic). We found that COVID-19 allows firms to adopt digitalization. More specifically, comparing the three periods, we discovered that digital competitiveness positively influences business financial performance in the post-Covid era. Looking ahead to the post-Covid world, it is clear that companies must prioritize digital competitiveness to ensure their long-term success. Governments can learn important lessons from this research on how to help companies digitize."

Research on Enterprise Financial Management Strategy and Framework for Digital Transformation

Abstract In the wave of the information age, enterprises must undergo digital transformation in order to respond to and implement the national development strategy and improve their core competitiveness. This paper constructs a strategic framework for enterprise financial management in digital transformation and evaluates the effects of digital transformation on profitability levels and operating costs.
