Developing Stakeholders' Participatory Framework in Rice Agribusiness: The Case of Pandan Wangi Rice from Indonesia
Authors: Purwanegara Mustika Sufiati , Garnida Nita , Kusumawati Nurrani
Published: December 2020

Rice is an important food crop in Indonesia pointing to the fact that majority of 267.7 million of Indonesian people consume rice in daily basis. Among hundreds of rice varieties in Indonesia, Pandan Wangi rice is superior rice cultivar and gains Geographical Indication (GI) certification for its unique characteristics. These attributes largely correspond with previous research finding of rice-eating consumers, which chose special features, quality of rice and certification logo as their rice preference (Sakolwitayanon et al., 2018). Despite the huge potential market and superior quality, the growth of Pandan Wangi rice agribusiness is still low. Previous research identified the need of stakeholder analysis to bring up development of rice agricultural sector (e.g. Spangenberg et al., 2018). However, current stakeholder analysis guideline is considered too general, lack applicability in stakeholder identification and good practice, and need a systematic framework particularly in a complex setting (Wang and Anies, 2019). Karakosta et al. (2017) suggested stakeholders' participatory approach which is capable of providing more accurate result based on key stakeholders' opinion in their specific area of expertise. In particular, Krywkow and Hare (2008) have developed four main phases of participatory processes: first, preparation of problem analysis and stakeholder layer; second, stakeholders' familiarization of problem and planning; third, dialogue among stakeholders to gain more solid information and contribute knowledge; and fourth, gaining response from the participants and validating the results. In view of the above, there is a need to investigate participation of key stakeholders in Pandan Wangi rice value chain as an effort to maximize Pandan Wangi rice business potential. Accordingly, the objective of this study is to develop stakeholder's participatory framework as the guideline tools to solve rice agribusiness growth problem. In particular, we assess preference of rice eating consumers, of which the result will generate input for the framework development and thus, allowing Pandan Wangi rice agribusiness to achieve the expected outcomes.

Analysing the Determinants of Poverty among Female-Headed Households: The Case of South Africa
Authors: Mdluli Phindile
Published: December 2020

Poverty remains a critical and complex phenomenon in developing countries, South Africa included. Over the years, poverty has escalated significantly, particularly in Africa, while it has declined in most developed regions. The worsening statistics in Africa have raised concerns of a lack of understanding of poverty among policymakers and governments. In South Africa, poverty has been increasing, with more than 50 percent of households living in poverty. Additionally, approximately 26 percent of females live in extreme poverty, while at the same time the country is experiencing a growing trend of female-headed households continually identified as vulnerable to the indignities of poverty compared to male-headed households. Although poverty in South Africa has been studied extensively, existing literature shows that it is still a debatable topic, since the dynamics have not improved much, but rather worsened in recent years particularly post-apartheid. Using the 2018 general household survey data with a sample of 19 219 observations collected by Statistics South Africa, the primary objective of the study is to examine the determinants of poverty among female-headed households in South Africa. The study uses the following statistical methods: descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations and a binary logistic regression. The estimated results show that factors such as education level, employment status, age, gender, race, household size and marital status determine the poverty status of female-headed households. Females experience higher levels of poverty when compared to their male counterpart using the upper bound poverty line.

Published: December 2020

In recent years, Saudi women have been empowered on plenty of levels which were not easily available at the dawn of this century. In the last two decades, social change has been initiated, constructed and distributed discursively on both governmental and non-governmental circles; with the topic of women's inclusion in unconventional work environments provoking controversial positions between the heterogenous society of Saudi Arabia. The current paper offers a critical discourse analysis on how these diverse positions are reported metaphorically in blog posts written by bloggers presenting themselves as supporters of change and women empowerment. Such posts were written between 2009 and 2011; thus, documenting the very early support and opposition to this topic, which has also intensified drastically after King Salman -the current Saudi monarch- ascended to throne in 2015, following the death of the late King Abdullah.

Demystification of Design Thinking in Problem-solving
Authors: MA Henry , CHAN Amelie
Published: December 2020

As one of the key components in design discipline, Design Thinking has regained its popularity in the last decade (Dunne & Martin, 2006; Cooper, Junginger & Lockwood, 2009; Kimbell, 2011). However, this did not occur in design schools or in design professions; rather, it occurred in other disciplines—like business. Some business schools and business organizations consider Design Thinking an effective method or process to generate innovative solutions for resolving complex or wicked problems (Davis, 2010; Dorst, 2011; Glen, Suciu & Baughn, 2014). Whether they be for-profit or non-profit, many organizations also use the Design Thinking process when making strategic decisions or solving problems. In order to solve a problem in an efficient and effective manner, traditional thinking and cognitive studies suggest the prevailing way to solve a problem is to follow an orderly and linear process that work from the problem to the solution. The logic starts by understanding the problem through analyzing the problem situation. After identifying the definition of the problem, one can formulates some possible solutions. The optional solutions are evaluated and the best will be chosen to implement and transform the situation to the specific goal.

The Influence of Regulation and Financial Performance on the Disclosure of Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Reputation Moderated By the Ownership Structure
Authors: Wilestari Median , Syahroza Akhmad , Djakman Chaerul D , Diyanty Vera
Published: December 2020

A study by Ernst and Young (2010) found that 84% of public companies believe that CSR is an activity that has a positive impact on the companies. However, only 11% of those companies disclose their CSR in their annual reports. The motivation underlying CSR disclosure in the voluntary situation is performance impression, whereas on the mandatory situation it is due to legitimacy pressure (Meng et al., 2014). CSR activities should be part of companies' activities and operations, which are well planned and have an impact on the companies' budget. The result of researches about the relation of CSR and financial performance are mixed (Huang and Watson, 2015). There is a classic endogeneity problem, whether firms are successful because they are socially responsible or whether CSR is merely something that successful firms do. Diyanty (2014) mentions that the ownership composition structure in Indonesian companies is dominated by family-owned (more than 50%) structure. The influence and impact of CSR is indirectly intended to increase corporate reputation, and in turn, the owners' reputation (Boivie et al., 2016). CSR activities are utilized to develop a reputation and competitive advantage for the company and the owners in the long run. This article reports on a study examining the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) regulation and corporate financial performance, measured by corporate liquidity, profitability, leverage and firm's value, on the disclosure level of CSR of public companies in Indonesia. The impact of disclosure was analyzed from the corporate reputation based on the alternative measurement of reputation. Ownership structure consisting of family ownership and foreign ownership were taken as the moderating variables on the correlation between financial performance and the disclosure of CSR.

Environmental Disclosure Performance and Firm Value in
Malaysia
Authors: Yip Y.Y., , Gan C.Y.
Published: December 2020

Lately, the question of how socially responsible behaviour may affect a firm's value has gained the interest of regulators, academicians and researchers. Earlier, scholar like Friedman (1970) claim that the objective of firms is to maximise profits to their shareholders, as such, additional costs incurred on environment conservation or socially responsible activities are detrimental to firm value. However, recently, there is a wind of change to this ideology. The concern on business sustainability has inspired firms to channel resources to tackle the environmental issues, to resist actions or activities which are harmful to consumers or employees. Overall, firms are expected contribute to social well-being in order to be acceptable by the society (Zuraida, Houqe & Van-Zijl, 2016). Product differentiation can be achieved by firms through their involvement in social responsibility programmes and eventually translate to better firm value (Wahba & Elsayed, 2015).

Relationship of Labour Costs and Labour Productivity with Foreign Direct Investment in the V4 Countries
Authors: Hudakova Jarmila , Papcunova Viera , Stubnova Michaela , Urbanikova Marta
Published: December 2020

The free movement of capital brings us increased interest but also a struggle for a foreign investor among individual countries. Four Central European countries joined their forces and created the Visegrad Group. The Visegrad Group (V4) represents an informal grouping of 4 Central European countries – the Czech Republic, Hungary, the Republic of Poland and the Slovak Republic. It is a lively and informal regional structure of 4 EU member states, which share the same values, have a common history, culture and geographical status. These countries work closely together; however, on the other hand, they also compete with each other. After the accession of these countries to the European Union (in 2004), there is a gradual convergence of these economies towards the original EU countries. The gradual convergence of prices of goods and services in these countries also causes the population's demand for growth in wages and salaries, which leads to an increase in the total labour costs. Labour productivity in these countries is on the rise, but still lags behind the EU average. Foreign direct investment is the driving force of any economy. In this context, we were interested in the relationship between labour costs and labour productivity in relation to foreign investment. It is important to see whether rising labour costs and lower labour productivity can lead to a slowdown in foreign direct investment inflows.

This is a qualitative research using interpretive paradigm with phenomenological methods. The data of this study are the results of observations and interviews with Corporate Taxpayers, Tax Experts, and Tax Officers . Based on the results of the interview, there are several factors that affect taxpayers willing to take advantage of this policy, including the ease of submitting incentives, certainty not to be audited, and not adding to the company's burden. Employers take advantage of this incentive, namely the company has an interest in maintaining internal stability of the company. The provision of this incentive will increase (at least maintain) the purchasing power of workers and create a conducive business atmosphere. So it is true that entrepreneurs will flock to take advantage of this facility. This policy is expected to reduce the burden on business activities and help improve the condition of the company's cash flow, particularly during and after the epidemic. Thus, the company is expected not to terminate employment. If this condition occurs, there is potential for the national economy to keep moving, both in terms of production and consumption.

Small enterprises contribute significantly to the economic growth and prosperity in countries (Birch, 1987). The field of entrepreneurship represents an increasingly dynamic productive force in the economy (Gavron et al., 1998). Various entrepreneurship researchers opposed the construct of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), defined as an individual's belief in his or her ability to achieve various entrepreneurial tasks (Miao, Qian and Ma, 2017). Many studies have found positive relationships between ESE and entrepreneurial intention. On the contrary, there are some ambiguity on relationship between ESE and entrepreneur's post- start up performance (McGee et al. 2009). One of the affective entrepreneurial dimension is passion. Many researchers have opposed passion as a key element of entrepreneurial effort (Cardon et al., 2009; Chen et al., 2009) because it is able to bring up creativity and the recognition of new information patterns critical to the encounter and exploitation of encouraging opportunities (Baron, 2008; Cardon et al. 2013). However, there is little research focusing on entrepreneurial passion (EP), leading to business performance (Cardon et al. 2013). Thus, this research clarify how entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) effect to business performance, and entrepreneurial passion (EP) may vary the ESE- business performance relationship as a mediator.
