PERAN PEMUDA DALAM PEMBANGUNAN SEKTOR PERIKANAN MARIKULTUR DI TELUK AMBON DALAM

Building the mariculture fisheries sector in Ambon can be an effort to build the regional economy. Cultivated fisheries other than capture fisheries are an economic driver because Indonesia is one of the world's fish sources, so the development of marine and fisheries aims to meet the needs of the international market. In developing the mariculture fisheries sector, youth participation is very necessary. Youth is very decisive in determining the progress and decline of development, but in reality, the youth now lacks awareness and willingness to be involved in development. Partial Least Square in Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 3.0 software was used in this study to predict the effect of the exogenous latent variable X (factors determining the role of youth) to the endogenous latent variable Y (forms of the role of youth in the development of the mariculture fisheries sector) and describes the theoretical relationship between the two variables. SEM_PLS analysis results show that, resources have a significant effect on because the resources owned by youth are quite adequate. Social capital has a less significant effect because some youth are beginners. Public policies have a less significant effect because generally policies are directed at business managers who have succeeded in production so that young youth are less targeted for policy implementation. Entrepreneurship has a less significant effect because youth are still dominantly involved as members of business and labor groups so that not many have taken on the role of manager of floating net cage businesses.

Agile Roadmapping: A management Tool for Digital Entrepreneurship

How to adapt and still get the full potential of roadmapping to the context of Digital Entrepreneurship (DE)? To answer this question and design an agile roadmapping approach to support highly incremental planning done by startups, this article unfolded through a three-phase action research program that lasted 40 months and involved three startups and two startup accelerators. Typically, startups are not complex organizations but operate in turbulent markets—requiring constant changes in strategy, organization, and product decisions. Such an environment is notably adherent to the assumptions of agile methods, but not so to roadmapping, an approach typically tuned for larger companies. Thus, the DE context is explored to adapt the roadmapping approach to agile principles aiming at offering a nimble, living, and integrated process that can enhance business, product, and organizational decisions in startups. Finally, the resulting method helps to support 1) strategic to operational management by continuous planning of small teams dealing with constant changes; 2) better communication between investors, technical, and business members; 3) better absorption of roadmapping and its benefits by teams already proficient in agile approaches, and 4) better balance between plan and action in startups.

Whose Child is This? The Problem of Constructing and Deconstructing Kinship Bonds on the Donor Gamete Market

Invention and subsequent development of human reproduction technologies allow people to manage reproductive risks, overcome infertility and widen alternative reproductive choice. Medicine has given men and women the access to programmes of saving biogenetic material, DNA-tests for identifying paternity and services for creating a genetic passport which identifies potential diseases and genetic peculiarities. However, assisted reproductive technologies, such as donorship of sex sells and surrogate motherhood, are violating the familiar integrity of reproductive process and changing the usual perception of kinship as sharing of biological substance. A distinguishing feature of the market for gamete donation and surrogate motherhood lies in the importance of both construction and deconstruction of kinship between donors, recipients of reproductive goods and services and a baby, who is born with the help of the ART methods (assisted reproductive technologies).Basing on the results of sociological research of donor sex sells market, the author of the article shows us how members of reproductive business coordinate different parts of their work (technical, emotional, legal, financial etc.), in order to solve the controversial problem of defining kinship between the participants of the donor programmes. On the one hand, medical specialists and representatives of reproductive agencies take part in destroying the kinship between a gamete donor and a baby, and on the other hand, they participate in creating and supporting kin ties between parents received donor sex sells and a baby, who doesn’t have common gens with them. Empirical study base consists of expert interviews with the employees of medical clinics and reproductive agencies in Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

The institutional origin of private entrepreneurs’ policy influence in China: an analysis of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce

In this research, we examine the institutions of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce (ACFIC) and its political role from a historical perspective. By studying the ACFIC’s leadership, governing structure, and the activities of its affiliated business chambers and members, we argue that the ACFIC has evolved beyond its original mechanism as a component of the united front work and played an increasingly important role in the Party-state’s economic governance. Consequent to this development, nowadays the ACFIC has become a formal channel for private enterprises to articulate their collective interests and influence the national policy-making process.

MODEL EKONOMI SUFI: STUDI ATAS BUDAYA EKONOMI TAREKAT SHIDDIQIYYAH

Tarekat and Sufism are often used as scapegoats for the Islam declining issue. The concepts of zuhud, fakir, and tawakal are considered to alienate the activities of tarekat from worldly life, so that life is a way of fatalist life and away from the world. This fatalistic teaching adopted by Sufism is considered as the prior cause of cultural poverty among Muslims. The followers of tarekat and Sufism are identified with poverty and slum life.

<i>Uscio e Bottega</i>: an exploratory study on conflict management and negotiation during family business succession in Tuscany

This paper aims to explore how conflicts are managed, also through negotiations, during the succession phase in family businesses. The paper adopts a qualitative methodology and develops case studies of two companies, based on the interviews of the family business members belonging to multiple generations. The findings are interpreted with the dual concern model for the conflict management styles and the two-class model for the prototype of negotiators. The results of the study show an evolutionary path regarding the conflict management style adopted by the incumbent generation, which is influenced by the role taken in the company and the historical moment. The favourite negotiator's prototype of the incumbent generations is the emotional one. The study, although exploratory, investigates a topic that is under researched both in terms of family business literature and conflict management literature. Moreover, the study offers an interesting and important bridge of the two bodies of literature, which could benefit from cross-fertilisation.
