ABSTRAKSI: Nilai-nilai luhur budaya yang dimiliki kelompok masyarakat di Indonesia sudah merupakan milik bangsa sebagai potensi yang tak ternilai untuk pembangunan dan kemajuan bangsa. Di lingkungan masyarakat tradisional Jawa Barat terbangun sains asli yang berbentuk pesan, adat-istiadat yang diyakini oleh masyarakatnya, dan disampaikan secara turun-temurun tentang bagaimana harus bersikap terhadap alam. Masyarakat adat yang tidak mendapatkan pengetahuan formal tentang peran gas oksigen, karbondioksida, serta siklus karbon di alam, menerapkan pengetahuan tradisional berupa amanat leluhur untuk menjaga hutan dan air dengan cara tidak menebang hutan sembarangan. Teknologi yang berkembang pada masyarakat tradisional Sunda, salah satunya, bisa diamati pada bangunan tradisional berupa rumah panggung. Sistem kekuatan pada rumah panggung menggunakan ikatan, sambungan “pupurus”, dan pasak. Tidak ada paku, mur, dan baut, karena dilarang oleh adat dan bertentangan dengan aturan leluhur mereka atau tabu. Nilai-nilai luhur dan budaya lokal tersebut tetap dipertahankan dan diwariskan kepada generasi berikutnya yang hidup di era modern. KATA KUNCI: Sains Modern dan Tradisional; Teknologi Ramah Lingkungan; Kearifan Lokal; Masyarakat Sunda; Rumah Panggung. ABSTRACT: “The Concept of Science and Technology in Traditional Communities in West Java Province, Indonesia”. The noble values of culture owned by community groups in Indonesia have belonged to the nation as an invaluable potential for the development and progress of the nation. In the West Java traditional community, the original science in the form of messages, customs that are believed by the community, and passed down from generation to generation about how to behave towards nature. Indigenous peoples who do not get formal knowledge of the role of oxygen gas, carbon dioxide, and the carbon cycle in nature, applying traditional knowledge of ancestral mandates to preserve forests and water by not cutting down forests indiscriminately. The technology that developed in Sundanese traditional society, one of them, can be observed in the traditional building in the form of a stage house. The power system of the house on stilts uses ties, connections, and pegs. There were no nails, nuts, and bolts, for it was forbidden by custom and against their ancestral rules or taboos. These valuable values and local cultures are maintained and passed on to the next generation living in the modern era.KEY WORD: Modern and Traditional Science; Environmental Friendly Technology; Local Wisdom; Sundanese People; Stage House.About the Author: Dr. Johar Maknun adalah Dosen Senior pada Program Studi Pendidikan Teknik Arsitektur FPTK UPI (Fakultas Pendidikan Teknologi dan Kejuruan, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia), Jalan Dr. Setiabudhi No.229 Bandung 40154, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the mediating role of potential and realized absorptive capacity in intellectual capital (IC) and business performance. It also investigates the direct impact of the components of IC on business performance. Design/methodology/approach Partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to assess the effect of IC dimensions on performance and to analyze the mediating role of absorptive capacity in this relationship. Data were collected from 192 managers using a survey questionnaire with Likert scale items. Findings The findings of the study show that potential absorptive capacity does not intervene in the relationship between the components of IC and those of business performance. However, realized absorptive capacity, measured as the transformation and exploitation of knowledge, played a positive mediating role in the relationship between the dimensions of IC and those of business performance. Social capital was also noted as a weak predictor of business performance, while human capital and organizational capital had a profound positive influence. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on IC by examining the role of realized and potential absorptive capacity in the relationship between IC components and firm performance. This research also helps practitioners recognize the importance of transformation and the exploitation of knowledge for business performance.

Realized Absorptive Capacity

Purpose This study aims to investigate the external knowledge search behaviors in terms of search breadth and search depth in family firms and the resultant product innovation in Indian context. The authors theorize the mediating role of absorptive capacity (potential and realized absorptive capacity) between knowledge sourcing from external sources and product innovation. Further, the authors examine the moderating role of crucial internal social capital of the family firm in enhancing the use of external knowledge for firm innovation activities. Design/methodology/approach The study uses a quantitative research design taking single informant for collection of data from 151 family small and medium enterprises in automotive sector in India. The authors use structural equation modeling to test hypothesized relationships. Findings The findings indicate that both search breadth and search depth of family firms are positively associated with product innovation in family firms. The authors also find evidence for partial mediating role of potential and realized absorptive capacity in the relationship between search breadth and innovation and search depth and innovation. The results show how family firms learning taking place while scanning external knowledge sources in terms of external absorptive capacity routines. Finally, the authors find that family firm internal social capital positively moderate the relationship between search breadth and depth, and product innovation. Practical implications Family firms need to innovate to remain relevant in the long-run and as such development of superior capabilities is of great significance to them. Family firm managers must be open to external knowledge as such knowledge help them improve the firm level of innovation through absorptive capacity. Further, family firms must realize and act upon the importance of their social capital for the integration and utilization of acquired knowledge. Originality/value This paper is amongst a few papers that take dynamic capability views of innovation in family firms wherein the authors theorize how external search breadth and depth lead to the development of potential and realized absorptive capacity in family firms. The importance of family firm internal social capital as a strong integrating and knowledge sharing mechanism that helps family firms transform external knowledge into innovation is also highlighted.

Abstract: Absorptive capacity is defined as the company's ability to identify, explore, and apply knowledge gained from the external environment into the form of services. Previous studies examined this generally put forward the role of R&D and leadership authority to neglect the natural process of absorptive capacity. As a knowledge process, its natural process unseparated from the involvement of all parties in the company (including employees). This study aims to analyze the absorptive capacity process in Gramen SMEs located in Yogyakarta with its characteristics that still prioritize business practices based on traditional approaches and local wisdom. By adopting a qualitative based on case studies, it found that the process of absorbing information generally carried out through informal interactions with customers and various communities. It is also confirmed that each stage of absorptive capacity does not always flow linearly, and the intensity of the absorption holds by companies determined by innovations required and the characteristics of the company.
