Scenario Planning of Digital Transformation in Indonesia’s Fast-Moving Consumer Goods Sales Organization: Uncertainties and Possibilities

Since uncertainty in the business domain has increased the urgency for scenario development as a strategic tool, the research examined a relationships between a leadership model, organizational citizenship behavior, and sales management control variables using scenario planning. The questionnaire’s scaling using a Likert scale was done toward results from discussions and in-depth interviews with several experts in Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) organizations, FMCG organizational leaders (Chief Executive Officers/CEOs), leadership experts, organizational behavior consultants, and organizational performance practitioners. The research finds that external and internal forces determine the success of digital transformation. External forces consist of digital technology availability, consumer expectations,business competition maps, and digital talents. Internal forces are budget allocation, competency trap versus growth mindset, organizational structure, and organizational culture. The scenario matrix plot forms four scenarios of the digital transformation in the sales organization of Indonesia’s FMCG companies (realistic, pessimistic, optimistic, and superoptimistic), where realistic (iteration improvement scenario) is largely predicted to occur for companies carrying out digital transformation. Such scenario requires sales organizations to have a growth mindset to deal with the uncertainty of customer/consumer expectations properly. The strategy appearing as an FMCG digital transformation compass is expected to advise FMCG companies in Indonesia when executing and overseeing the digital transformation within theircompanies.

Regional rural transformation and its association with household income and poverty incidence in Indonesia in the last two decades

Increasing rural household income and reducing poverty rank among Indonesia’s top development priorities. Promoting rural transformation is one strategic policy framework to achieve these goals. In the last three decades, agricultural production has shifted from low-value food crops to high-value commodities, such as horticulture, estate crops, and livestock. Previous studies have analyzed rural transformation in Indonesia at the national level, but information on the magnitudes of impact across regions remains scarce. This study aims to analyze the changes in rural transformation at a regional level in the past two decades. The research utilizes secondary data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), covering 34 provinces from 2000 to 2020, analyzed using descriptive and panel data regression analyses. The results show an increasing trend in the share of high-value agriculture (RT1) and rural non-farm employment (RT2). Both RT1 and RT2 are positively associated with the growth of rural household income and a lower poverty rate. However, the speed of structural transformation (ST), RT1, RT2, rural income growth, and poverty reduction vary across regions. This research implies that improving rural income and reducing poverty should be done by integrating policies, i.e., promoting high-value agriculture and expanding rural non-farm employment. Particular attention should also be given to provinces with slow growth in ST, RT1, RT2, and rural household income.

Hoaxes and infodemics: Digital transformation challenges (Case study on Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia)

Digital transformation has many implications for society, not only positive, but also negative. Various crimes in the cyber world, including hoaxes and infodemics, are something that cannot be avoided. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the rise of hoax and infodemic news made the handling of Covid-19 in Indonesia more complex. Many people are victims of hoaxes which in the end take action against government policies related to Covid-19, such as reluctance to comply with health protocols and rejection of vaccination programs. This research contributes to studying the challenges of digital transformation in Indonesia, especially during the past Covid-19 pandemic. The research method used in this paper is a case study. Data collection was carried out by in-depth interviews from Ministry of Communication and Information Technology, literature studies, both from books, journals and scientific articles. The results of this study indicate that digital transformation has encouraged the growth of hoaxes and infodemics which have hampered efforts to deal with Covid-19. The Indonesian government needs to take structured actions in dealing with this hoax and infodemic, and make regulations to optimize the digital transformation process.

Unleashing the Power of Capacity Building: Transforming Governance and Policy Implementation in the Digital Era

This study aims to outline the strengths of capacity building and the problems associated with the lack of capacity in the context of governance transformation and policy implementation in the digital era, and initiate an innovative and sustainable capacity-building strategy as a fundamental solution. This study uses a qualitative approach and document analysis to obtain a more detailed analysis. Data was obtained from the National Planning and Development Agency, namely the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) 2020-2024. This data included human resource development and infrastructure development in terms of information and communication technology (ICT) related to digital transformation, as well as policies that support digital transformation. The findings of this research illustrate that in terms of the quality of human resources, there are still shortcomings in skills and collaboration between government, universities, and other stakeholders in the industry, and there are still inequalities in access to information in various regions. In addition, there are still obstacles to the implementation of digital transformation in Indonesia in the delivery of public services from the aspects of leadership and political commitment, budget availability, infrastructure readiness, and the digital divide. Thus, strategies are needed to deal with them effectively. It can then be concluded that the dimension of human resource development needs to increase worker skills and knowledge related to digital technology in the public sector. Likewise, the dimension of strengthening organizational capacity that changes in organizational culture are key to dealing with governance transformation in the digital era. In the institutional reform dimension, it is important to evaluate and make changes to the existing institutional structures and processes.

Presidential Election and SME Transformation in Indonesia: The Influence of Policies and Political Dynamics

Presidential Election and SME Transformation in Indonesia: The Influence of Policies and Political Dynamics

How the Introduction of AI (Media Monitoring) Tools Affects the Field of Public Relations

In the age of technological disruption, new technology has brought about many developments. The PR industry is affected by this disruption of old industries, markets, and processes. The rapid adoption of new PR technologies forces staff to be more adaptable. Artificial intelligence enters public relations. PR is fast shifting from traditional to digital PR with AI. AI and PR can collaborate on work. With the rise of AI in daily life, Indonesian public relations uses Media Monitoring. Public Relations professionals employ automated media monitoring to gain faster and more useful information. AI (Media Monitoring) techniques in PR are tested for user experience in Indonesian multinational private enterprises. Structured participant interviews are utilised for qualitative research. The results show that PR's transformation in Indonesia has changed PR practises; the use of AI technology in PR activities has had a positive impact; although AI technology is sophisticated and can transform various jobs, AI cannot replace the primary role of humans, especially in PR work; and the use of AI tools, such as media monitoring, has increased efficiency and effectiveness.

Representation of political conflicts in history textbooks

This research scrutinizes the representation of political conflict within contemporary Indonesian history textbooks. The research question is about how the contemporary history textbooks present political conflicts in Indonesian historiography for the younger generation within the frame of political interests, nation-building, and the demand of conflict reconciliation and transformation. Discourse Historical Analysis was used as the research method, particularly in investigating conflict representation from the analysis of nomination, predication, argumentation, perspectivation, and intensification. The object is Indonesian History textbook used in schools. Data analysis techniques are carried out with discourse historical analysis techniques through analysis of nominations, predicates, arguments, and perspectives. The findings show that historical conflicts in the textbooks are represented in two forms of historical narrative logic. The first is a simple plot and heroism narrative logic to present the conflicts in Indonesia from 1945 to 1965. The second is a cooperative-constructive narrative logic that emphasizes the conflict reconciliation rather than the conflictual process in presenting the conflicts in Indonesia from 1965 to 1998. Those logics consist of the binary system and schizophrenic feeling that shows the confusion of the historians in narrating conflict within the history textbook. Therefore, the chance to take advantage of the textbook in supporting conflict transformation in Indonesia can be hard to achieve. The historian has to find an alternative approach to solve the problem of conflict representation within the Indonesian history textbook. This alternative approach is carried out as an effort to support the transformation of conflict in Indonesian society.

The Implementation of MBKM Policy as a Government Communication Effort in Educational Transformation in Indonesia

The Freedom to Learn-Independent campus (hereafter, MBKM) policy provides opportunities for students to gain broader learning experiences and new competencies through some learning activities. Students are also free to take part in learning events that are not part of their study plan. It is important to follow this policy, so it needs to be shared with everyone who has an interest in it. This study aims to determine the extent of government communication in encouraging the successful implementation of the MBKM policy. This study used a quantitative approach, and the population was the MBKM unit (units or sections that facilitate students for MBKM activities) and students involved in the MBKM program, with a total of 100 respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires. Data were then tabulated and processed using SPSS. The results showed that government communication in the implementation of the MBKM Policy was procedural (with a mean value of 4.97) and accountable based on government communication procedures (with a mean of 4,96). The implementation of MBKM policy was to provide benefits for students in terms of creativity and innovation as demonstrated by the implemented MBKM programs. Indeed, the implementation of this policy faced some weaknesses in that the government communication regarding MBKM is not fully on target and lacks efficacy (with a mean value of 3.00). It means that some policy implementers have not fully implemented the policies and some students are less interested in being involved in MBKM programs.

A proposal to strengthen Indonesian democracy

AbstractFor centuries, Java‐based rulers employed economic, political, and military measures to control the myriad islands lying in the eastern reaches of the Indonesian archipelago. Following Indonesia's transformation into a presidential democracy, the country's leaders modified this strategy and sought to maintain regional control by implementing economic and political decentralization measures on a massive scale. These measures also gave the eastern populations an appreciable influence on presidential elections. However, population projections and recent election data indicate that inhabitants of eastern Indonesia may become electorally marginalized because the region's population growth is being far outpaced by that of Java and Sumatra. Such marginalization could lead to social unrest, separatist movements, and other malevolent behaviors that threaten the country's democracy. To address this scenario, this article suggests that implementing a presidential voting framework based on the US Electoral College could strengthen Indonesia's democracy by significantly empowering voters in the country's eastern provinces.

PENGARUH PEMBELAJARAN BERDIFERENSIASI TERHADAP KEMAMPUAN COMPUTATIONAL THINKING SISWA SEKOLAH DASAR

Education Transformation in Indonesia is now demanded to be faster and able to produce students who are not only proficient in reading and writing but also students who have skills in matters directly related to problem solving in real life. The ability to think critically, apply creativity, work together, solve problems and be communicative are some of the abilities that are the main capital in 21th Century Learning besides other abilities such as reading, writing science and mathematics. The purpose of this study is in accordance with the existing problem formulation, namely to determine the effect of differentiated learning on the computational thinking abilities of elementary school students.

The results obtained were that the Computational Thinking ability of elementary school students had increased after being treated with Differentiated Learning.

What Kind of Medical Specialist Can Support Primary Health Transformation in Indonesia?

The transformation of basic health services that was proclaimed as part of the transformation of health services by the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia in 2022 is a dream come true for me. Even though the World Health Organization (WHO) has been advocating for it since 2008 in its report Primary Care Now More Than Ever, Indonesia finally made it happen when the Ministry of Health was not led by a doctor. The emphasis on 'not working as a doctor' as the leader of the Ministry of Health seems to be 'beneficial' for primary health services in Indonesia, which so far has been under the shadow of the 'non-specialist and specialist' bureaucratic level of management which is equated with 'primary services and non-primary services'. So far, the terms and understanding of the government, BPJS, and doctors regarding medical specialist are essentially referral services, not primary services. It is as if a doctor working in primary care is considered not an expert. But if they become an expert, then they should be transferred to another place of work.

Digital Citizens: Efforts to Accelerate Digital Transformation

Digital transformation acceleration in Indonesia needs to be balanced with the civilization of its citizens. This research is an attempt to present a summary of empirical findings from high literature in the field of digital transformation acceleration. A critical review was carried out in 35 articles from 2017 to 2023 and focused on the progress of research on digital transformation acceleration. The literature review critically sees and conducts evaluations related to the digital literacy of citizens, digital transformation in Indonesia, and efforts to improve the character of citizens to be in harmony with digital acceleration. Digital literacy citizens are determined by several indicators of cognitive capabilities, maintaining data security, media use ethics, and collaboration and increasing digital literacy carried out starting from intense training, the formation of digital regulations, acceleration of community literacy, and the formation of third literacy space. Digital transformation in Indonesia occurs in various domains of life such as education, business, banking, and government. Analysis of efforts to improve the character of citizens in digital space can be done with citizenship education to be able to increase the value of community concern and responsibility. The implication of this finding shows that the acceleration of digital transformation must be balanced with Indonesian citizens. This can be realized with a joint effort of all components, families, schools, communities, and countries. Overall, this research can provide appropriate references for further research by looking at the Digital Citizenship implementation towards an intelligent and character society.

Relative Abundance in the Land of Oil: Reorganization of Extractive Resource Governance in Decentralizing Indonesia

This study aims to examine the governance of extractive resources by the state as an axis of development at the national and subnational levels. This study focuses on Indonesia and Bojonegoro Regency as the main unit of analysis. Using the method of historical sociology, this article argues that the institutional capacity of the state in the governance of extractive resources, particularly oil, depends on the extent to which the mechanisms of autonomy and distribution of state power are reorganized to achieve developmental transformation. The combination of historical evidence not only adds to the theoretical understanding of state social power but also contributes to development theory by adding a historical dimension. As a country with abundant natural resources, Indonesia has faced challenges in the governance of extractive resources since colonial times. The abundance of natural resources is not always linear with development outcomes in each period of governance. Indonesia has seventeen oil and gas-producing provinces. However, the resource curse still applies in eight provinces where the number of poor people is higher than the national average. The governance of Indonesia's extractive industries is no longer monopolized by the national government but involves subnational governments. Politically, many local governments have complained that the process of calculating, distributing and reporting oil and gas revenue-sharing funds often creates tensions between central and local governments. Synergies between the state and civil society in the governance of extractive resources are needed to accelerate development transformation. Historical experience shows that the limited distributive power of civil society in extractive resource governance hinders the process of accelerating development transformation in Indonesia.

Analysis and Design of Student Guidance Information System through Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) dan Waterfall Model

Universities play an essential role in encouraging digital literacy as a form of support to accelerate digital transformation in Indonesia. One of the strategic steps to support the acceleration of digital transformation is to carry out organizational change in the academic scope. One of the innovative ideas to facilitate the thesis registration process, selection of supervisors, and thesis consultation is the existence of an integrated and accountable control system. This research proposes an idea to analyze and design the Information System for Thesis Consultation Process known as SIBIMA using the Software Life Cycle Development (SDLC) method according to the Waterfall model. SIBIMA is intended to support services in the education sector by adjusting the context of the values of the Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia, namely Kristiani, Unggul, Peduli, and Profesional. Thus, students, lecturers, and academic staff complement each other in improving the quality of education. The case study of application design is adjusted to the registration process, selection of supervisors, and thesis consultation at the Head of Tourism Department, Faculty of Business Administration and Communication Sciences, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia.
