Abstract
Purpose: This study's objective is to examine the impact of firm-specific and macroeconomic factors on the business performance of non-cyclical and cyclicals sectors in Indonesian listed firms. The evaluation of business performance holds paramount importance for the achievement and long-term viability of a company. Research Design Data and Methodology: The data for 61 non-cyclicals sector companies and 57 cyclicals sector companies was gathered over a 4-year period from 2018–2021. The model integrates firm size, leverage, and sales growth as firm-specific factors, with real GDP growth and inflation rate as macroeconomic variables. ROA and ROE are indicators of a firm's business performance. The regression models are estimated using the distribution of a dynamic approach with Arellano-Bond Panel Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimation. Results: The results of the pooled sample indicate that the historical ROA and ROE have a positive relationship with the business performance of all sectors, including both non-cyclical and cyclical industries. The ROE of non-cyclical enterprises is primarily influenced by firm-specific characteristics and macroeconomic influences. Conclusion: To ensure the successful implementation of the distribution of a dynamic approach towards enhancing corporate business performance, organizations need to take into account a combination of firm-specific factors and macroeconomic factors.

Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the distribution of the audit committee, independent board of commissioners, and institutional ownership on earnings quality with strengthening earnings growth. Research Design data and Methodology: This quantitative research uses a comparative causal approach. The research population is manufacturing companies in the basic and chemical industry sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016-2022. Samples were obtained as many as 112 using purposive sampling method. The analysis technique to test the hypothesis uses multiple linear regression tests and moderation tests with an absolute difference approach. Results: The results showed that the audit committee and board of commissioners provide a significant positive distribution on earnings quality, while institutional ownership provides a significant negative distribution on earnings quality. Earnings growth strengthens the distribution of the audit committee and independent board of commissioners on earnings quality. However, earnings growth does not strengthen the distribution of institutional ownership on earnings quality. Conclusions: Audit oversight from the audit committee and management performance oversight from the independent board of commissioners improve earnings quality credibility. Management oversight from institutional ownership reduces earnings quality. The interaction of earnings growth with maximum supervision can improve earnings quality, except for supervision from institutional ownership.

Abstract
Purpose: Trade in small and medium businesses must improve innovation performance before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The requirement for rapid innovation is being able to compete and survive post-pandemic. This research attempts to investigate the influence of organizational forgetting, knowledge management, and business agility in distributing innovation performance improvements to SMEs in Tasikmalaya, Indonesia. Research design, data and methodology: In this research, a structural equation modeling approach with SmartPLS was applied. This research used 221 Tasikmalaya SMEs as samples. The findings of this study show that SMEs are still underrepresented in technological advancement. Results: Organizational forgetfulness does not have a significant impact on innovation performance, nor does it have an indirect impact through knowledge management. Business agility, on the other hand, has a significant indirect effect on innovation performance. Knowledge management does not have a significant and direct impact on innovation performance, but business agility has a significant impact. Conclusions: Efforts to enhance SMEs' trade must be willing to challenge the status quo or abandon knowledge that is no longer relevant to current developments to improve business agility and innovation. Technology-oriented SMEs can quickly become agile by implementing organizational forgetting. SME owners must be willing to adapt to technological advances to adopt organizational forgetfulness.
Abstract
Purpose: This study explores the effect on supply chain agility and logistics performance of building mutual trust between manufacturing companies that have adopted supply chain management. Previous studies has categorized trust into affective and cognitive types, and speed, flexibility, and responsiveness are recognized as subfactors of supply chain agility. Methodology: A survey gathered responses from employees of domestic manufacturing firms with supply chain management implementations. 254 valid responses underwent statistical analysis using structural equation modeling (SPSS 23.0 and AMOS 23.0). Results: Affective trust positively influences speed and responsiveness but not flexibility. Cognitive trust positively affects speed, flexibility, and responsiveness. Supply chain agility positively impacts logistics performance. However, neither affective nor cognitive trust significantly influences logistics performance. Conclusions: The study suggests that cognitive trust based on capabilities is more important than affective trust for flexibility in corporate relationships, a subfactor of supply chain agility. However, trust alone cannot enhance corporate performance. This research is significant as it examines the roles of trust and agility in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has exacerbated the manufacturing business environment.

Abstract
Purpose: This study examines short-platform content that is becoming more popular on social media. This study investigates the relationship between short-platform content experience, consumer participation behavior, and consideration set. Furthermore, the mediating effect on empathy factors was confirmed during consumers’ experience with short-form content. Data and methodology: Prior studies were reviewed, and hypotheses were developed. Consumers who had watched and shared short-form content within the previous three months were targeted to achieve the study’s goal. A structured questionnaire was used to conduct the survey. Results: First, users of short-platform content with practical, playful, and emotional value did not confirm a positive effect on consumer participation behavior. However, short-platform content with social value positively impacted consumer participation behavior. Second, consumer participation in short-platform content was confirmed to positively affect the consideration set. Third, in terms of the mediating effect of empathy factors, short-platform content with practical, social, and emotional values partially mediates consumer participation behavior, whereas short-platform content with playfulness value completely mediates consumer participation behavior. Conclusions: This study’s findings have academic and practical implications for the marketing field. The study highlights the value of usability in expanding short-platform channels.
Abstract
Purpose: The main objective of this research is to encourage the increase of local MSME businesses through the sustainable tourism sector in South Sulawesi by proposing a research model that focuses on increasing revisit intention. This, in turn, is expected to stimulate local trade and strengthen tourism attractiveness. Research design, data and methodology: A quantitative research method involving 190 domestic tourist respondents was employed, utilizing a questionnaire for data collection. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis through AMOS software was applied, and the Sobel test to assess indirect effects. Results: The research findings indicate that memorable customer experiences and travel motivations significantly influence destination image. However, travel motivation does not significantly affect revisit intention. Furthermore, memorable customer experiences and destination image significantly impact revisit intention. Notably, destination image plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between travel motivation and increased revisit intention. Conclusions: Memorable customer experiences and travel motivations directly contribute to the formation of a more positive destination image.

Abstract
Consumers have become more interested in eating organic food in recent decades because of the effect of merchants' advertising. Eating organic food is also shown to strengthen immunity, especially during the recent COVID-19 pandemic. However, encouraging consumers to purchase organic food in stores is a significant challenge for retail business. Consumers may find it more difficult to choose organic food retailers than to purchase conventional goods. This is because of the uncertainty characterizing the process of selecting organic food retailers, despite the growing rivalry across supermarket chains that sell organic goods. This study explores how consumers’ perceived image (social responsibility and ability image) of organic food stores affects consumer loyalty. We confirm the moderating influence of value co-creation activity and consider consumers' perceived values (social, emotional, and quality) regarding organic food stores. Based on structural equation modeling, the findings of the study demonstrate that store image positively impacts store loyalty, and that the mediator and perceived value affect the relationship between the two variables. A SmartPLS Bootstrapping test reveals that the relationship between store loyalty and the perceived image of organic food stores is moderated by consumers' value co-creation behavior.
Abstract
Purpose: Increasingly limited environmental resources encourage all sectors to implement robust distribution systems, including Logistics Service Provider (LSP) as a company that manages customer logistics activities. However, efforts to achieve a robust distribution system have many challenges. To overcome these challenges, as a first step, LSP needs to classify and analyze the challenges faced and find solutions. Knowledge of the challenges in managing robust logistics is still not widely researched in developing countries. This paper explores existing research gaps in the region. Research design, data and methodology: The research enquiries used are a questionnaire and in-depth interviews. In the field study, surveys, observations, interviews related to robust logistics implementation in the LSP were carried out. Results: The results of the study show that although robust logistics is recognized as very important, understanding among LSPs is still very diverse. The main challenges found in this study come from the economic aspect and the internal conditions of the organization. Conclusion: LSP is advised to carry out internal strengthening of the company, especially for economic and organizational aspects therefore they can implement robust and sustainability practices more intensively. LSP needs to have good financial support in order to implement the aspects on an ongoing basis.
