CAN CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY PERFORMANCE (CSP) OVERCOME INDONESIA'S CORPORATE DEBT PROBLEMS?

Based on IMF publications (2022), Indonesian companies have a risky debt level that may cause bankruptcy, so companies are required to make leverage adjustments to return the debt to its optimal level. In recent years, corporate sustainability performance (CSP) practices have been proven to improve performance and overcome financial problems such as debt by integrating sustainability aspects into business processes. Based on stakeholder theory and trade-off theory, this study aims to examine the effect of CSP on leverage adjustment and the role of competitive advantage, equity mispricing, profitability, and firm size in moderating this relationship. This study used a sample of 40 listed companies that registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and implemented CSP from 2019 to 2022. By using multiple linear regression analysis and moderated regression analysis, this study shows that companies with CSP can increase company leverage adjustments. Meanwhile, company characteristics such as equity mispricing and company size have proven to strengthen this relationship, but competitive advantage and profitability do not influence it. The results of this study provide theoretical and practical benefits by enhancing knowledge about CSP and leverage adjustments, as well as enabling managerial and regulatory parties to make the right decisions.

What is the impact of legal strategy?

AbstractLaw and strategy (LAS)—the study of the law's role in competitive advantage—has developed rapidly and with substantial promise for over 20 years. However, at this critical juncture in its development, the LAS literature lacks both a systematic review of its impact and an organized call for future research. To fill this scholarly gap, this article reports two citation analysis studies that identify the overall impact of the literature as well as the specific influence of seminal articles in the field. We find that LAS is widely cited, has a substantial and diverse disciplinary reach, and, crucially, that the influence of its seminal works has not faded over time. Building on these findings, we recommend pathways for future LAS research, including more cross‐disciplinary scholarship, a closer engagement with the related stream of proactive law, a deeper inquiry into ethics, more systematic theory‐building and empirical work, and a global perspective that tests the boundaries of LAS beyond fully developed markets. We conclude that LAS has a promising future with the potential for a wide range of applications that address significant challenges facing law and business.

SUPPLY CHAIN INNOVATION BOLSTERED UP BY SUPPLY CHAIN MODEL

Giri and Bardhan (2015) found out that supply chain process becomes inefficient and lack business strategies has affect the operation which led to poor profitability. That’s why manufacturing supply chain needs to innovate constantly for maintaining their position in the marketplace and to fight uncertainties. Hence firms are focusing on strategies for developing innovation within and across its manufacturing supply chain. In line with following objectives, this study employed a quantitative research approach that utilized stratified sampling technique and self-administered questionnaire survey. The respondents for this survey were the senior managers (top management) in operations management from manufacturing firms in Malaysia. Subsequently, the survey data have been utilized to test the research framework and hypothesis. The results of the study are useful for supply chain practitioners and manufacturers in integrating the right SCMPs and competitive advantage on improving SCI. Furthermore, industrial practitioners also receive insight on how to take account of the mediating effect of competitive advantage in designing their supply chain innovation for better manufacturing performance. In fact, organizations are not certain of what to implement, due to a lack of understanding of what constitute a comprehensive set of SCMPs. There was far too little knowledge available on the role of competitive advantage in mediating the effect between SCMPs and supply chain innovation. As such, this paper is one of the first to address the mediating effect of competitive advantage between SCMPs and supply chain innovation. Also, the results have suggested successful dimensions of SCMPs that could be implemented in order to obtain competitive advantage and foster supply chain innovation in manufacturing industry in Malaysia.

Research on the Mechanism of Collaborative Value Co-Creation of Enterprise–Science Community: A Case Study Based on the Green Brand Maoduoli

With the rapid increase of market competition pressure, enterprises’ collaborative innovation plays a more prominent role in competitive advantage. This paper aims to explore how the enterprise–science community can achieve sustainable collaborative value co-creation. Taking the Maoduoli Group as a sample, using the single case study method and grounded theory, a structural model of the enterprise–science community collaborative value co-creation mechanism is constructed. The proposed model is based on the value logic of “advocating value—creating value—delivering value—acquiring value”, which explains how the enterprise–scientific community collaborative value co-creation model is formed, how it is implemented, how it is delivered to customers, and the overall process of jointly harvesting value at last. The findings are as follows: First, government support, market demand, and entrepreneurial spirit are the internal and external factors for the enterprise–science community to develop collaborative value co-creation; secondly, the synergy mechanism of the enterprise–science community is to realize mutual activities such as joint research and development, a joint publication of papers, sharing of research results, joint research and development activities, and joint teaching practice through means of capital investment, concept support, and technical support. Third, the synergy mechanism of the enterprise–science community can realize the value of the economic and scientific research and the ecological and social benefits (narrow sense), and continuously feed back to further promote a deeper level of collaborative value co-creation of the enterprise–science community. This paper introduces the dimension of the scientific community, forms a special construct, and focuses on the collaborative value co-creation model of the enterprise–scientific community, which fills the gap in this research direction, and also provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the collaborative value co-creation model of the enterprise–scientific community.
