Small medium enterprises (SMEs) have proven and are known to be one of the biggest contributors to the economy of developing countries. Evidence shows that SMEs provide a number of job opportunities, which results in unemployment reduction, poverty eradication, and a bigger boost towards other economic activities. However, most SME entrepreneurs face an array of problems such as access to funding, building up international connections, getting appropriate knowledge and access to adequate technology. These issues are then further intensified by the lack of proper governance and the avoidance of business ethics by most SME entrepreneurs. Over the past years, the number of SMEs has grown drastically in developing countries (Nigeria, Algeria, Brazil, and Vietnam), which has also resulted in an increase in competition within the sector. This has given rise to the need to install the strategies of corporate governance with the aim of strengthening the competitiveness of SMEs.

Subject The Local Administration Draft Law. Significance A new Local Administration Draft Law is currently being discussed in parliament to replace the existing legislation, dating from 1979. The capacity of local government to carry out various developmental functions has long been undermined by the centralised political and fiscal system. The new law, however, aims to give broader powers to subnational authorities. The law is meant to pave the way for local elections, scheduled for the first quarter of 2019. Impacts The central government will use local elections to boost its popularity and demonstrate commitment to democratic reform. The application of the new law will increase competition among local government units to attract private investment. The local economy will grow in areas where councillors can ease the process of doing business and decrease bureaucracy. More job opportunities will be created at the local level.

Upaya mempercepat laju ekspor Indonesia melalui peningkatan ekspor dari sektor usaha kecil dan menegah (UKM) merupakan pendekatan yang strategis. UKM telah terbukti sebagai sektor yang mampu bertahan dalam situasi krisis ekonomi domestik dan global. Namun demikian, UKM menghadapi beberapa kendala dalam menembus pasar internasional. Trading House dapat menjadi salah satu solusi dalam mengatasi kendala tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun kriteria prioritas produk potensial ekspor dan sekaligus menentukan produk prioritas ekspor UKM yang akan dimasukkan dalam Trading House. Data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder yang berasal dari BPS dan data primer yang berasal dari FGD. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode Analytical Network Process (ANP). Metode ANP diharapkan dapat memberikan hasil yang lebih bagus mengingat kemampuannya dalam memperhitungkan interaksi dua arah antar elemen dan kluster dalam kerangka penelitian. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kriteria prioritas untuk menentukan produk Trading House adalah pangsa ekspor, impor dunia dan ketersediaan bahan baku lokal. Produk prioritas Trading House adalah perhiasan dan aksesoris, furnitur, makanan olahan, produk tekstil dan garmen, minyak atsiri (produk spa aromaterapi). Pemerintah perlu segera membangun Trading House yang komprehensif dan mensosialisasikan fungsinya kepada pelaku usaha terutama UKM. One of the efforts to accelerate Indonesian exports can be done through increasing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) which is a strategic approach. SMEs are able to survive in the domestic and global economic crisis even though they experienced some obstacles in getting an access to international market. Trading House could be a solution in overcoming the SMEs difficulties. This study aims to establish priority criteria of potential export products as well as priority of export products of SMEs through Trading House. This study utilized both secondary data coming from BPS and primary data from Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and used Analytical Network Process (ANP) method. The ANP is aimed to give the best solution of the problem since it considers two way interactions between elements or clusters (feedback). The results show that the priority criteria for determining Trading House products include the share of exports, world imports and the availability of local raw materials. Trading House priority products are jewelry and accessories, furniture, processed foods, textile and garment products, essential oils (aromatherapy spa products).The government must immediately build a comprehensive Trading House and socialize its functions to business players, especially SMEs.

This study aims to evaluate the empathic brand initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia and analyse the online sentiments toward the philanthropy of corporations, non-profits organisations, citizens and society. Sentiment analysis was conducted on related posts of 15 companies from March to June 2020 with varying preliminary times for each company as the first donor. To complete the perception, the authors conducted a focus group discussion (FGD). Research shows that medium size and small–medium enterprises, such as local cosmetic companies and budget hotel are the first donors, followed by large or multinational companies (MNCs). In contrary with previous research, public perception was not influenced by the amount and the time of giving but was impacted by communication strategies, the empathy of the brand itself, and the company behaviour before COVID-19 period. This research’s novelty is the emphatic communication model to create, maintain and protect a company’s reputation.
