The Covid-19 pandemic has hit Indonesia since March 2020. To anticipate this, the government has implemented various policies, including pembatasan sosial berskala besar (PSBB) and pemberlakukan pembatasan kegiatan masyarakat (PPKM). This policy is expected to be one way to prevent community activities outside the home so as to avoid the transmission of Covid-19. However, the PSBB and PPKM policies are considered to have a significant impact. The impact felt by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is a decrease in profit levels and feelings of psychological pressure, feeling anxious about business continuity in the future. This situation makes SMEs feel psychologically depressed. To anticipate the psychological pressure experienced, the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Tarumanagara (F.Psi. UNTAR) under the coordination of Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Universitas Tarumangara (LPPM UNTAR) organizes community service activities (PkM) for MSME actors. The author (PkM Team) is one of the representatives of F.Psi. UNTAR. One of the materials provided by the PkM Team in the activity was coping strategies. Through the provision of coping strategy materials, it is hoped that MSME actors can anticipate and manage the psychological pressures experienced, so that they remain enthusiastic in managing their businesses during the Covid-19 pandemic. In this article, we will discuss the methods of coping strategies provided and the evaluation of the results of the mini seminar activities that have been carried out.Pandemi Covid-19 telah melanda Indonesia sejak bulan Maret 2020. Untuk mengantisipasi hal tersebut, pemerintah telah menerapkan beragam kebijakan diantaranya berupa pembatasan sosial berskala besar (PSBB) dan pemberlakukan pembatasan kegiatan masyarakat (PPKM). Kebijakan tersebut diharapkan dapat menjadi salah satu cara untuk mencegah aktivitas masyarakat di luar rumah sehingga terhindar dari penularan Covid-19. Namun demikian, adanya kebijakan PSBB dan PPKM dinilai memberikan dampak yang signifikan. Dampak yang dirasakan oleh pelaku Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) adalah penurunan tingkat keuntungan dan perasaan tertekan secara psikologis, merasa cemas terhadap keberlangsungan usaha di masa mendatang. Keadaan inilah yang membuat para pelaku UMKM merasa tertekan secara psikologis. Untuk mengantisipasi tekanan psikologis yang dialami, Fakultas Psikologi Universitas Tarumanagara (F.Psi. UNTAR) di bawah koordinasi Lembaga Penelitian dan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat Universitas Tarumangara (LPPM UNTAR) menyelenggarakan kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) bagi pelaku UMKM. Penulis (Tim PkM) merupakan salah satu perwakilan F.Psi. UNTAR. Salah satu materi yang diberikan oleh Tim PkM pada kegiatan tersebut adalah strategi koping (coping strategies). Melalui pemberian materi strategi koping, diharapkan pelaku UMKM dapat mengantisipasi dan mengelola tekanan psikologis yang dialami, sehingga tetap bersemangat dalam mengelola usaha mereka selama masa pandemi Covid-19. Dalam artikel ini, akan dibahas mengenai metode strategi koping yang diberikan dan evaluasi hasil kegiatan mini seminar yang telah dilakukan.

Although it is not clear yet what a full-grown circular economy (CE) is going to look like, it is clear that the challenges of transitioning to a CE are both impressive and urgent. The Dutch government has expressed the ambition to establish a CE in the Netherlands in 2050. In the wake of this, the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality laid down a vision on circular agriculture (CA). A key question with respect to both CE and CA is if and to what extent this means business as unusual: How distinct is circular business from normal business operations? The ways in which the notions of CE and circular business models (CBMs) are often introduced suggest a big difference. However, closer scrutiny also reveals that in practice the impact of circularity is less obvious. Against the backdrop of such opposite observations, this paper examines how Dutch farmers perceive circularity and what implications this has for their production practices. Interviews (n = 13) with Dutch farmers show that circular business is adapted in normal business management by some and regarded as a genuine alternative to the conventional food system by others. By taking Dutch farmers as an example, this paper aims to contribute to our understanding of how CE is interpreted in small and medium enterprises (SMEs).

Entrepreneurship plays an important role in the modern global economy; the share of products of small and medium enterprises in the gross product and exports not only of the developed but also of developing countries is growing. Innovation processes cover all sectors of the economy, and more and more people are involved in entrepreneurial activity, which contributes to the penetration of entrepreneurial thinking and business values in all areas of the socioeconomic life of society. The Institute of Entrepreneurship plays an increasingly prominent role in the institutional environment of socio-economic systems. This actualizes the problem of studying the relationship of the institution of entrepreneurship with the institutions of law, culture, management. This requires a methodology that allows you to explore the impact on the institute of entrepreneurship not only economic, but also non-economic factors. The methodology of the “old” institutionalism possesses such a tool, it is structural modeling (pattern modeling), which allows to explore the diversity of interrelationships of the institution of entrepreneurship with other components of the institutional and economic environment. The article explored the features of the development of the institution of entrepreneurship in Russia, established the relationship between the institution of entrepreneurship, values, motives and incentives for entrepreneurial activity, built a structural model of the institution of entrepreneurship based on the methodology of the old institutionalism (pattern modeling). The structural model of the institution of entrepreneurship reveals the relationship between the institution of entrepreneurship, the values of entrepreneurial activity, its motives and incentives; as well as the relationship between the institution of entrepreneurship with the institutions of governance, cultural and religious institutions, legal institutions and society.
