The sustainability of SMEs is supported by various important factors, both financial and non-financial. This study examines non-financial factors, namely the management accounting adoption model on the performance of SMEs in Maluku. The sample of this study consisted of 63 UKM units located in Ambon City, SBB Regency and Central Maluku Regency. The testing of management accounting adoption contingency models is carried out using path analysis. The result showed that management accounting adoption is a mediator of the relationship between the level of innovation and technology adoption in manufacturing activities with the performance of SMEs. However, this study has not succeeded in proving the relationship between manager characteristics and managers' perceptions of environmental uncertainty with the decision to adopt strategic management accounting by business units. These results indicate that there is a need for further introduction to the benefits of a strategic management accounting system as an important instrument in streamlining the business value chain.

Information technology (IT) has become a critical functionality for business today. Choosing the appropriate network security that will protect IT functions and meet business needs can be a bewildering but necessary process. The problem is deciding what and how much to do. The objective of this paper is to propose a new process that will facilitate the mapping of network security to the business’s priorities using well-known classification schemes and decision support systems. Establishing a relationship between such diverse functions requires that the two areas be described in terms that can be related. Network security is described in terms of services and mechanisms that provide the functionality using the Open System Interconnection (OSI) Security Architecture classification. Business value and activities are described using Michael Porter’s business value chain. First, the classification schemes for each area are subjectively related to establish an initial functionality/business value relationship. Second, a decision support tool called analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is used to establish an analytical and more objective relationship between the two classification schemes. The result of this work is a prioritized list of security services related to business needs instead of just being driven by technological criteria. An example that illustrates this concept is described in the paper. To the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first application of using AHP in the decision-making process of choosing network security in relationship to business needs.

Companies have focused for decades on maximizing the value creation process of direct productive business activities. The information revolution has left its mark and has started an irreversible transformation of classical business processes and activities. In the new 21st century information and data driven society, commodity is value and knowledge, making Porters value chain concept an important key factor for successful and innovative businesses. Business value creation was during the industrial revolution a topic strictly liked to direct productive activities. The increased and transformed business environment required innovative and sustainable competitive advantages for business organizations. The indirect productive business activities, and the business support services have been considered business value consuming and having no contribution towards the company value chain. 21st century accounting has evolved from the role of record keeper to a business value driver that assures and contributes to the company value chain by using its internal knowledge pool. The existing scientific publications are approaching accounting from different perspectives and support the main conclusion of the paper: accounting, in the 21st century is not a “bean counter” anymore, accounting is a certain and consistent business value driver.

Porter stated in his value chain concept that business support activities are contributing to the value creation process of a business organization. In the “classical view” business support activities are considered as indirect productive and not having a clear and direct contribution to the business organization value chain. The information age has enabled and leveraged business support activities to become decisive contributors to the value creation process of any business. Can this value contribution be somehow determined or quantified? Management accounting is a classical business support activity that contributes to the business organization value chain. Through usage of value management and value driven performance indicators, the value contribution can be determined and quantified.  The present paper is highlighting one possible alternative to determine the value contribution by using indicators like economic value added and economic profit. The value-based approach is putting indirect productive business activities into a new position, the one of a clear and important business value creator that cannot be ignored in the 21st century, a century driven by data, a nd information and knowledge that can sustain a decisive sustainable competitive advantage.

Increasing aspirations to develop a circular economy for waste plastics will result in an expansion of the global plastics reprocessing sector over the coming decades. Here we focus on two critical challenges within the value chain that as a result of such increased circularity may exacerbate existing issues for occupational and public health (1): Legacy contamination in secondary plastics, addressing the risk of materials and substances being inherited from the previous use and carried through into new products when the material enters its subsequent use phase; and challenge (2): Extrusion of secondary plastics in reprocessing, an end process of conventional mechanical recycling of plastics, involving heating secondary plastics under pressure until they melt and can be formed into new products. Via a systematic review (PRISMA guidelines, adapted), we considered over 4,000 sources of information, refined and consolidated into 20 relevant sources, which were critically assessed. We also derive prevalent risk scenarios of hazard-pathway-receptor combinations, subsequently being ranked. Our critical analysis highlights that despite stringent regulation, industrial diligence and enforcement, occasionally small amounts of potentially hazardous substances are able to pass through these safeguards and re-enter in the new product cycle. Although many are present at concentrations unlikely to pose a serious and imminent threat, their existence may be an indication of a wider or possibly increasing challenge of pollution dispersion, as the plastics reprocessing sector proliferates. But, in the Global South context, such controls may not be in place. Several studies showed emission control by passive ventilation, through open doors and windows followed by dilution and dispersion in the atmosphere, resulting in increased occupational exposure. It is recommended that further investigations are undertaken to establish the scale and magnitude of such phenomena, especially given the limited evidence base, with results informing improved future risk management protocols of a circular economy for plastics.

The traditional mobile business value chain is based on linear thinking model mainly emphasizing technical guidance and enterprise sequence. Its characteristics constrain innovative thinking and innovative model of mobile commerce enterprises seriously. Under such a circumstance, the concept of value network was introduced into the mobile business field. By researching on documentation, the writer put in order relevant theories and models of mobile business value chain and value network, and further constructed mobile business value network model, which is formulated on the basis of value transmission perspective. The model enriched the prospective of research on mobile business value network, and provided scholars with theories for reference for further research.
