The Mangrove Petengoran ecotourism is a potential ecotourism site for development. However, based on the tourist visitation data in Gebang Village, Pesawaran Regency, the Mangrove Petengoran ecotourism still resulting in few visitors and remains at the level of an incipient tourism village according to the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. The development of the Mangrove Petengoran ecotourism is expected to uphold the local community's economy. The purpose of this study is to determine the effective strategy for the development of the Mangrove Petengoran ecotourism village in Pesawaran Regency based on the ASOCA analysis perspective. Researchers identify the internal and external factors of the Mangrove Petengoran ecotourism. Following the acquisition of these factors, the result is integrated into the ASOCA matrix and subsequently assessed via the Litmus test to derive scores. These scores are then utilized to ascertain the strategic issues pertinent to the evolution of the tourist site. Based on the ASOCA analysis, eight highly strategic issues are identified as top priorities and primary concerns for decision-making or policy formulation based on their significant impact on future generations. Subsequently, there are five strategic issues that can be implemented, given the significant impact on the incoming community. Therefore, these prior issue can be utilized for the development of the Mangrove Petengoran ecotourism.

Attention Focus and New Opportunities: The Moderating Role of Managerial Attention to Alternative Issues

The strategy literature highlights the critical role that managerial attention plays in shaping firms’ responses to industry change. However, attention to change alone is not sufficient to precipitate action. The context in which this attention is paid is also critical in determining the translation of attention to action as managers generally pay attention to multiple issues within their strategic agendas. We argue that attention to a competing issue and the breadth of managerial strategic attention impair the relationship between attention to a focal issue and related organizational action as these attentional constraints may lead to hesitancy or confusion at an individual level and reduced coordination at an organizational level. Realizing that at an organizational level, firms vary tremendously with respect to their sizes, resources, and by implication their overall attentional capacities, we argue that the negative moderation impacts of attention to a competing issue and the breadth of strategic attention on the attention to a focal issue–subsequent action relationship are larger for smaller firms. Studying the U.S. electric utility industry and the emerging new distributed electricity generation business model, we find broad support for our arguments and also important nuance. By melding theory, important details of our empirical setting, and intriguing empirical results, we develop greater insights into when and how the other strategic issues to which managers pay attention can shape the translation of managerial attention to a new business model into subsequent organizational action.

An Assessment of Strategies Adopted in Translating Selected Chapters of Atwans's Memoir: “A Country of Words” into Arabic

This study explored the strategies adopted in translating selected chapters from Abdelbari Atwan's political memoir A Country of Words by Husam Al-Din Mohammad. Back translation was used as a method. That is, an Arab Palestinian refugee endeavors to interpret his thoughts and transfer his experience of the Arabic culture to English as a SLT, and then the translator transfers those thoughts back into the original Arabic language as a TLT. The translation is analyzed in terms of its cultural, religious and political orientations endorsed by the researcher who seeks to identify and analyze the main problematic outcomes of the translation by means of observing the contextual and cultural concordance of the two texts. The analysis attempts to figure out if the translation retains the pragmatic and semantic orientation of each expression, the problems that the translator comes across in the process of translation, and the strategic issues adopted by the translator to retain the functional-equivalence of each expression. The study concluded that the strategies enable both the writer and the translator to preserve the Arabic language, which is the essence and the distinguishing feature of the Arabic culture. Atwan, as a bilingual writer, captured the Arabic aesthetic taste in his original text by preserving the Arabic cultural content and form in the original text.

Mengenali Isu Strategis Pengembangan Kawasan Desa Wisata Edukasi Kopi Rasagalor, Kabupaten Bandung

Determining the correct strategic issues when developing an area is crucial so that the solution can effectively be implemented to the existing dynamics. Unfortunately, determining strategic issues is often disregarded or not taken seriously during the planning process.

Is the Sky the Limit for Menteen Studios?*

ABSTRACTThis case exposes students to an intriguing industry: film production and distribution. The focus on relevant costing allows students to make recommendations about keeping, dropping, or expanding a distribution channel and about venturing into a new technology for film distribution. The analysis requires critical thinking. Because students are provided with relatively sparse financial information, they are less likely to be fixated on data and more likely to think critically about how to structure analyses to address strategic and operational issues being weighed by the studio. In addition, the case requires students to communicate their recommendations and the underlying assumptions effectively. This case is suitable for use in undergraduate and graduate managerial and cost accounting courses, introductory MBA courses in managerial accounting or strategic thinking, or undergraduate or graduate courses that are specific to the entertainment industry.

ANALISIS TUNJANGAN PROFESI PADA KINERJA GURU ASN DI SMKN 1 AMPELGADING KABUPATEN MALANG

The performance of civil servants is becoming an increasingly strategic policy issue, because improving the performance of the apparatus has broad implications in political economic life. This type of research is descriptive research. In conducting descriptive qualitative research, when collecting data in general a researcher can find research data in the form of words, pictures, data here are interview transcripts, field data notes, personal documents, cameras, notes, and others. There is a relationship between professional allowances and improved work performance, in the workplace environment. Teacher performance directly affects student learning outcomes. Teachers who are able to design challenging and relevant lessons, and provide constructive feedback, can improve students' understanding and academic achievement. It is concluded that the implementation of the ASN teacher performance allowance system at SMKN 1 Ampelgading is an important step in the effort to improve the quality of education. However, the success of this system cannot be guaranteed by providing financial incentives alone.

Self-operation or Authorization? Decision structure of crowdfunding supply chains with IP derivative products

Reward-based crowdfunding has become a widely adopted financing mechanism in the creative economy, particularly for IP derivative products, resulting in a typical crowdfunding supply chain comprising an IP owner, a crowdfunding platform, and a manufacturer. Our study aims to build a theoretical model to explore the strategic issue regarding how to design the decision structure of crowdfunding supply chains with IP derivative products. Our analytic results reveal that when the product quality remains consistent across decision structures, the IP owner prefers the self-operation structure (i.e., structure O) if the quality level is either low or high; otherwise, the authorization structures are preferred. When the platform’s commission rate is relatively low, authorizing the manufacturer (i.e., structure M) outperforms authorizing the platform (i.e., structure T), which is counter-intuitive. However, structure O always achieves the highest funding amount and can lead to a tripartite win–win situation under certain conditions. When the quality level is determined endogenously by the creator, in addition to structure O, structure T can also achieve the highest funding target and lead to a tripartite win–win situation in some cases by regulating the quality level. Notably, due to the double marginalization effect, structure M always leads to a sub-optimal outcome for the manufacturer regardless of whether the quality is constant or endogenous.

Additional court player: possibilities for tactical variations and their implications for the handball training process

Handball game passed by normative changes in 2016, and some influenced the use of the additional court player (ACP), both related to organizational, strategic, tactical, and technical issues. This study aimed to analyze, from the speeches of Brazilian handball coaches, the influence of ACP on handball training process after 2016. Seven coaches were interviewed, who have already been classified among the top four clubs in the Brazilian national men and women leagues and/or who participated in the technical staff of the Brazilian national teams (men and/or women). Data were thematically analyzed. The 2016 normative change raised new handball tactical landscapes, as the coaches developed changings on offensive and defensive actions using and playing against ACP.

N-type-2-ARAS: An efficient hybrid multi-criteria optimization approach for end-of-life vehicle’s recycling facility location: A sustainable approach

End-of-life vehicle (ELV) management is currently one of the most pressing environmental issues. Waste must be recycled to ensure that ELV management is both environmentally and economically sustainable. Cairo boasts the greatest percentage of Egyptian citizens who own a car and the country's oldest automotive fleet. There is a great desire to open a new ELV recycling factory in this city. One of the most difficult strategic issues facing decision-makers is determining where to build new facilities. ELV recycling facility selection is a multi-criteria and highly uncertain challenge, and this research presents a novel approach to help with the process. An extension of the Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) approach in a neutrosophic type-2 environment ((N-type-2 ARAS)) is described for the first time. The new approach (N-type-2 ARAS) is used to choose an ELV recycling facility location. The proposed N-type-2 ARAS method's potential and applicability are illustrated in the context of a real-life case study in Egypt. This study used five main criteria, twenty sub-criteria, and four alternatives (locations) to select the best location. The results show that Luxor is the best location. This method has been proven reliable and consistent compared to the current state-of-the-art interval type-2 fuzzy set-based MCDM methods. This study's sensitivity analysis was conducted to show rank stability from the (N-type-2 ARAS) methodology.

Ease of Doing Business

The World Bank offers 10 criteria that serve as the foundation for its rating of various nations according to their ease of doing business (EODB). It is widely acknowledged that the countries’ FDI influx is impacted by this ranking. The likelihood of FDI inflows increases with ranking, and vice versa. This research aims to investigate the relative importance of ranking elements and their suitability for various sets of economic development phases. Additional characteristics that contribute to the overall ease of doing business are also examined in relation to their impact on investment flow. The main strategy of the study is to review the existing literature on the subject and list the many components and their effects. Improved rankings are thought to generally encourage FDI influx, although not all of the metrics are equally efficient and their weights vary case by case, according to the research review. Prioritizing extra commercial factors is inevitable when it comes to serving investors’ strategic interests. Overemphasizing the EODB rankings also discourages developing nations, particularly those in developing nations, from pursuing structural reforms because they attempt to prioritize a small number of important factors over others. In addition to this, study of the de facto implications of various indicators and aspects should also be conducted at the micro- or sub-economic level, as these factors undoubtedly affect the EoDB rankings on a macro level. Finally, the Indian context has been taken into consideration in order to make conclusions about the usefulness of this healthy exercise in developing the current study. India has improved its position over the past few years, however given current global and strategic issues, the country’s socioeconomic development goals cannot be wholly driven by the market and paired with the desire for self-reliance.

Strategi Pengembangan Usaha Pelatihan Hidroponik Di Kota Bogor

Hydroponics is a method of cultivating plants without soil that is popular with Indonesian people. Its spread in Indonesia is supported by information openness via the internet and social media. Internet users reaching 77.2% have created a demand for hydroponic training. The urgency of training services is needed because hydroponic cultivation requires special skills. In the city of Bogor, there are business units that provide hydroponic training with limited face-to-face services which are very vulnerable to schedule limitations and social restriction policies by the government. The aim of this research is to formulate a strategy for developing a hydroponics training business in the city of Bogor. The approach uses qualitative methods with the Business Model Canvas framework to map digitalization adaptation and describe existing business models. Alternative strategies are formulated using SWOT analysis which combines internal strategic issues in the form of strengths and weaknesses with external strategic issues in the form of opportunities and threats. The formulated alternative strategy is implemented into the prototype canvas business model. Customer Response Index analysis is carried out to support SWOT analysis to obtain input based on responses from consumers. The research results found that digital adaptation was limited to business model marketing channels. Strength strategic issues lie in segmentation based on demand, service flexibility, and digital marketing adaptation. The weakness issue is dependence on one product and dependence on business partners. Strategic issues of opportunity are opportunities for product diversification, new partnerships, and conversion of training into digital products. The strategic threat issue is the opportunistic risk of business partners. The formulation of an alternative strategy recommends diversifying service products by adding services that are still in the hydroponics business line.

PurposeRenewable energy infrastructure is an important asset class in the context of reducing global carbon emissions going forward. This includes solar power, wind farms, hydro, battery storage and hydrogen. This paper examines the risk-adjusted performance and diversification benefits of listed renewable energy infrastructure globally over Q1:2009–Q4:2022 to examine the role of renewable energy infrastructure in a global infrastructure portfolio and in a global mixed-asset portfolio. The performance of renewable energy infrastructure is compared with the other major infrastructure sectors and other major asset classes. The strategic investment implications for institutional investors and renewable energy infrastructure in their portfolios going forward are also highlighted. This includes identifying effective pathways for renewable energy infrastructure exposure by institutional investors.Design/methodology/approachUsing quarterly total returns, the risk-adjusted performance and portfolio diversification benefits of global listed renewable energy infrastructure over Q1:2009–Q4:2022 is assessed. Asset allocation diagrams are used to assess the role of renewable energy infrastructure in a global infrastructure portfolio and in a global mixed-asset portfolio.FindingsListed renewable energy infrastructure was seen to underperform the other infrastructure sectors and other major asset classes over 2009–2022. While delivering portfolio diversification benefits, no renewable energy infrastructure was seen in the optimal infrastructure portfolio or mixed-asset portfolio. More impressive performance characteristics were seen by nonlisted infrastructure funds over this period. Practical reasons for these results are provided as well as effective pathways going forward are identified for the fuller inclusion of renewable energy infrastructure in institutional investor portfolios.Practical implicationsInstitutional investors have an important role in supporting reduced global carbon emissions via their investment mandates and asset allocations. Renewable energy infrastructure will be a key asset to assist in the delivery of this important agenda for a greener economy and addressing global warming. Based on this performance analysis, effective pathways are identified for institutional investors of different size assets under management (AUM) to access renewable energy infrastructure. This will see institutional investors embracing critical investment issues as well as environmental and social issues in their investment strategies going forward.Originality/valueThis paper is the first published empirical research analysis on the performance of renewable energy infrastructure at a global level. This research enables empirically validated, more informed and practical decision-making by institutional investors in the renewable energy infrastructure space. The ultimate aim of this paper is to articulate the potential strategic role of renewable energy infrastructure as an important infrastructure sector in the institutional real asset investment space and to identify effective pathways to achieve this renewable energy infrastructure exposure, as institutional investors focus on the strategic issues in reducing global carbon emissions in the context of increased global warming.
