The impact of corporate governance on firm performance: panel data evidence from S&P 500 Information Technology

This research is important for both the academic and business environments due to the extraordinary results obtained. Additionally, the significance of the study is also attributed to the addressed topic, which is intensively studied in the world of corporate finance. The primary aim of this research is to scrutinize a cohort of 66 information and technology (IT) companies, all of which are constituents of the American Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500). The study period spans two decades, covering the years 2003–2022. To summarize the outcomes, the analytical framework incorporated linear models with both fixed (fe) and random effects (re), as well as quantile regression models. This study's key outcomes highlight that firm size, sales growth, current ratio, long-term debt to capital, free cash flow, asset turnover and receivable turnover, board meeting frequency, female board representation, chief executive officer age, audit committee independence, and the presence of compensation and nomination committees, alongside a pandemic indicator, positively impact firm performance. Conversely, firm age, dividend payout ratio, effective tax rate, board size, chief executive officer duality, and corporate social responsibility committee presence have negative effects on performance. Also, regarding quantile regressions, CEO duality significantly influences companies with high profitability rates, and companies with low to medium profitability rates are more strongly and negatively influenced by board size. The implications of the core policy in this research focusing on corporate governance will consider certain rules and guidelines regarding financial transparency and protecting shareholders' interests. Additionally, it will take into account the independence of the board of directors and the presence of its committees, as well as ethical leadership practices.

Analisis Penerimaan Aplikasi Naskah Dinas Elektronik (Nadine) Di Biro Umum Sekretariat Jenderal Kementerian Keuangan Menggunakan Technology Acceptance Model (TAM)

One of the impacts of the rapid development of information and technology (IT) in the archives sector is the presence of an electronic records management system (ERMS). Many ERMS has been developed, but not all of them have been successfully implemented. One important factor in its implementation is user acceptance. User acceptance influences user intentions when using an ERMS application. One of the ERMS is the Naskah Dinas Elektronik (Nadine) application atthe Ministry of Finance, which was implemented five years ago but has not yet been tested for user acceptance. This research was conducted to analyze the factors involved in accepting Nadine's application at the General Bureau as Centre Archives of the Ministry of Finance through the technology acceptance model (TAM). The research method used was quantitativedescriptive, with questionnaires distributed to 72 respondents using the Nadine application at the General Bureau. The data obtained was processed using a non-parametric statistical method, namelypartial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The research results show that system quality factors, user training factors, and facility conditions significantly influence user intentions when using the Nadine application. Perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness show a positive correlation with intention to use. Perceived usefulness has a significant direct influence on intention to use, while perceived ease of use has an indirect influence on intention to use through perceived usefulness. The implications of this research provide suggestions for policymakers to improve the quality of implementation of the Nadine application by improving system quality, providing training programs, and providing adequate facilities. This research can also be used to explore factors that influence users' intentions to accept ERMS, especially perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been widely applied in environmental health, including determining the locations of waste banks. Currently, in Batam City, there is no mapping-based system available to track the distribution of waste banks, posing challenges for residents to access information about nearby waste bank locations. Population growth is correlated with rising household demands, including the need for food, clothing, and housing. People need their basic necessities to survive. The industries of manufacturing, transportation, healthcare, and communication have all seen significant advancements since the Industrial Revolution. With the advent of information and technology (IT), all of those areas' development in the 19th and 20th centuries was larger and faster. Hence, this study introduces a management information system with mapping technology for waste banks in Batam City. Employing a descriptive analysis approach, the software development follows the waterfall method, and Unified Modeling Language (UML) serves as the design tool. The resulting system proves effective in providing information on Waste Bank locations and assisting administrators in managing Waste Bank location data.

Customisable IT tool for on-field assessments to support disaster management

Information and technology (IT) based tools are widely used in all phases of the disaster management cycle (DMC), improving the effectiveness of the prevision-prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery phases. The availability of on-field collected data provides an answer to the need to represent the scenario in which decision-makers will intervene. In this context, disaster management experience has shown that in many cases the users of on-field assessment outcomes (i.e., decision-makers) need: a data collection tool quickly and simply adaptable to better respond to specific and conditional needs; the automated elaboration of situation results; and the ability to exchange the information between the different phases of the DMC. This paper illustrates the IT tool, called "SPRINT-Engine", which was developed to meet these requirements. The SPRINT-Engine has been specifically developed and improved to permit easy and rapid customizability, even in near real-time. The paper presents some applications in real cases of on-field assessment managed by SPRINT-Lab researchers in support of institutions in various activities and projects at different scales and in different phases of the DMC.

Concept and Implementation of Religious Character Education for Wiser Use of Technology

The unwise utilization of Information and Technology (IT) has resulted in negative impacts within society. This, in turn, gradually contributes to the formation of highly dangerous negative characters that threaten the moral resilience of the nation. The purpose of this paper is to present the concept and implementation of Islamic religious character education as an effort to prevent the negative consequences of the misuse of IT. Through a literature review approach, the authors found that to avoid the adverse effects of unwise IT usage, it is necessary to alter the perspective of learners in line with the Islamic worldview, especially regarding core beliefs in Allah, angels, scriptures, prophets, the Day of Judgment, and predestination. Other essential content that learners should master includes ethical behavior towards Allah, fellow human beings, and oneself. The process of implementing religious character is carried out through ta'dīb and tazkiyatun nafs, involving the stages of takhliyah and taḥliyah. Thus, the objective of this religious character education process is to cultivate learners who are virtuous and wise in their use of IT.

Pemanfaatan Informasi Dan Teknologi Dalam Implementasi Manajemen Pengendalian Risiko Likuiditas Di Bmt Ugt Nusantara

Some of the common issues and constraints faced by sharia cooperatives today concern the management of risk management, including liquidity risk. This risk is prone to occur in many sharia cooperatives, the majority is due to the simplicity of the information and technology (IT) systems they have. As a result, a commotion arose from the members because they had lost trust because the Cooperative could not fulfill its obligations to members when withdrawing their deposits. This is due to weak liquidity, and a weak supervisory and control system from managers regarding liquidity needs and time deposits or general term savings that are due. In fact, this function can be replaced by an increase in the latest Information and Technology systems. The use of technology has a very significant role in controlling liquidity risk.
 This study analyzes the use of information and technology in managing liquidity risk control in the BMT UGT Nusantara Cooperative. The methodological approach used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The results of the study show that the improvement of information and technology systems has a very important role in anticipating the occurrence of liquidity weaknesses.

INDONESIAN TAX REFORMS POLICY ALTERNATIVES FOR HANDLING SHADOW ECONOMY

Indonesian Directorate General of Taxes (DGT) has been running the tax reform covering human resource development, Information and Technology (IT), process business renewal, and policy reforms since 2016 to solve tax avoidance as a shadow economy activity. To make the process efficient, DGT needs to do prioritizing. The author analyzed the best tax reforms policy by assessing the symptoms covering the system burden from 2002 to 2017, including 15x taxpayers, 2x employees, and 3.5x offices. Then, the author argued to frame the DGT’s case as mainly about government failures related to representative government and bureaucratic supply, also determining the goals, including improving taxpayers’ trust and compliance, tax administration, and tax officers’ integrity. There are criteria for assessing the achievement of the plans: service, easiness, modernness, and professionality. The policy alternatives are mutually exclusive, covering tax officers’ training, tax-administration IT system updates, Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) improvement, and regulations creation. The author found that the tax-administration IT system updates got the most significant points through a multi-goal analysis framework. However, the author suggests considering another policy, SOP improvement, which can be an alternative for solving the limited resources but not removing the better quality of taxpayers’ services.

An Approach Based on Genetic and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithms for Dynamic Load Balancing in CloudIoT

CloudIoT is a new paradigm, which has emerged as a result of the combination of Cloud Computing (CC) and the Internet of Things (IoT). It has experienced a growing and rapid development, and it has become more popular in information and technology (IT) environments because of the advantages it offers. However, due to a strong use of this paradigm, especially in smart cities, the problem of imbalance load has emerged. Indeed, to satisfy the needs of the user, the intelligent objects send the collected data to the virtual machines (VMs) of the cloud in order to be processed. So, it is necessary to have an idea about the load of its VM. Thus, the problem of load balancing between VMs is strongly related to the technique used for the VMs selection. To tackle this problem, we propose in this paper a task scheduler called Scheduler Genetic Grasshopper Algorithm (SGGA). It allows to ensure a dynamic load balancing, as well as the optimization of the makespan and the resource usage. Our proposed SGGA is based on the combination of Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Grasshopper Optimization Algorithm (GOA). First, the tasks sent by the IoTs are mapped to the VMs in order to build the initial population, then SGGA performs the genetic algorithm, which has expressed a considerable performance. However, the weakness of the GA is marked by its heaviness caused by the mutation operator, especially when the number of tasks increases. Because of this insufficiency, we have replaced the mutation operator with the grasshopper optimization algorithm. The results of the experiments show that our approach (SGGA) is the most efficient, compared to the recent approaches, in terms of the response time to obtain the optimal solution, makespan, throughput, an average resource utilization rate and the hypervolume indicator.

945. Development of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in Central and South America

Abstract Background There is a need to assess current development of hospital Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASPs) in Latin America. Methods Cross-sectional evaluation of ASPs using a standardized and previously validated self-assessment tool derived from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Core Elements of Antibiotic Stewardship (AS). The assessment was deployed to 40 hospitals in Panama, Guatemala, Ecuador, Colombia, and Argentina in 3/2022 through a regional research network. The assessment included 94 questions, with each question including a graded response (meets criteria, partially meets criteria, does not meet criteria, and in some, not applicable). Results 22 public and 16 private hospitals completed the assessment (95% response rate), 10% and 25% of which were small hospitals (< 110 beds), respectively. 82% were academic, and all have an Infection Prevention and Control program/committee. >70% of ASPs have a physician and pharmacist involved, although 65% reported no salary support for AS activities. Only 13% and 29% of AS pharmacists and physicians, respectively, met recommended full-time equivalent/bed ratios; and 76% lacked information and technology (IT) support. 50% indicated the AS committee did not meet regularly, and another 50% reported not including non-AS physicians in the committee. Most hospitals have implemented prior-authorization and post-prescription review and feedback, with much fewer reporting a process to alert of duplicate therapy and use of auto-stops. 89% reported regular access to new antibiotics. While most hospitals monitor antibiotic consumption, few evaluate trends and/or appropriateness of use. Treatment guidelines for most common infections were missing in up to 50% of hospitals, especially in public hospitals. Most respondents indicated their hospitals promote teamwork, and in the vast majority, recommendations from AS are valued. Stratification of results by private and public hospitals in Table. Table:Results of a self-assessment of antimicrobial stewardship activities at the facility level in 38 hospitals in Latin America. Conclusion We found several opportunities for improvement, which differed between private and public hospitals. Common barriers to both settings include access to IT support; better pharmacist and physician resource allocation, education, and monitoring of process and outcomes measures. Disclosures Sara E.

A configuration taxonomy based on business process orientation: evidence from organizations in Indonesia

PurposeThis study aims to develop a taxonomy of organizations according to business process orientation (BPO) maturity and investigate the difference between clusters in terms of performance outcome.Design/methodology/approachA survey of various organizations in Indonesia is conducted. The main variables are critical practices (CPs) as the measurement variables of BPO maturity and performance outcome. Cluster analysis is performed to obtain an empirical taxonomy of the organizations. ANOVA test is used to test if there are statistically different performance outcomes across different clusters.FindingsCluster analysis resulted in six archetypes labeled according to their characteristics: Beginners, Non-technical, Domestics, IT laggards, Excellers, and Champions. The ANOVA test results show that the archetypes with high CPs tend to have high perceived performance results.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited because the authors use a single dataset from organizations in Indonesia. Further study involving more organizations will be beneficial to validate and enrich the taxonomy of organizational archetypes.Practical implicationsResults of the study can be used as a benchmarking tool by organizations to identify their positions against other organizations and set their areas for improvement. It can also help them identify a roadmap for improvement that will benefit their organization.Originality/valueUsing the CPs as a measure of BPO enables the authors to identify supplier orientation and information and technology (IT) implementation as the primary differentiators within the taxonomy. The use of IT differentiates the bottom, middle and top clusters.
