Prices Versus Quantities

Abstract This paper establishes a duopoly model with product differentiation and outsourcing in order to analyze the equilibrium competition strategies (choice of prices versus quantities) when the outsourcer outsources its intermediate good to a final product competitor. We show that: (1) both firms choose the quantity strategy when the cost efficiency of the subcontractor is low; (2) the choice of competition strategy is the price strategy for the subcontractor and the quantity strategy for the outsourcer when the cost efficiency of the subcontractor is moderate; (3) both firms choose the price strategy when the cost efficiency of the subcontractor is sufficiently high.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh langsung orientasi kewirausahaan dan strategi bisnis serta pengaruh tidak langsung orientasi kewirausahaan yang dimediasi oleh strategi bisnis terhadap kinerja wirausaha perempuan di Bogor. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer dari 50 wirausaha perempuan di Bogor. Analisis data dilakukan dengan menggunakan analisis jalur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orientasi kewirausahaan tidak berpengaruh secara langsung terhadap kinerja wirausaha perempuan. Hasil penelitian juga menunjukkan bahwa orientasi kewirausahaan yang dimediasi oleh strategi bisnis berpengaruh lebih besar terhadap peningkatan kinerja wirausaha perempuan. Orientasi kewirausahaan yang kuat diiringi dengan strategi efisiensi biaya, strategi diferensiasi produk, dan strategi segmen pasar spesifik akan memberikan kemungkinan yang lebih besar bagi wirausaha perempuan untuk meningkatkan kinerjanya dan menjadi lebih kompetitif.Kata kunci: kinerja; orientasi kewirausahaan; strategi bisnis; UMKM; wirausaha perempuan             ABSTRACTThis study aims to examine the direct effect of entrepreneurial orientation and business strategy and also the indirect effect of entrepreneurial orientation, mediates by business strategy, on the performance of women entrepreneurs in Bogor. This study used the primary data of 50 women entrepreneurs in Bogor. The data was analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that entrepreneurial orientation has no directly effect on the performance of women entrepreneurs. The results also showed that entrepreneurial orientation that is mediated by business strategy has a greater effect on improving the performance of women entrepreneurs. Strong entrepreneurial orientation that accompanied by cost efficiency strategy, product differentiation strategy, and specific market segment strategy will provide more possibilities for women entrepreneurs to improve their performance and become more competitive.Keywords: business strategy; entrepreneurial orientation; performance; SMEs; women entrepreneurship

The concept of cost efficiency has become tremendously popular in data envelopment analysis (DEA) as it serves to assess a decision-making unit (DMU) in terms of producing minimum-cost outputs. A large variety of precise and imprecise models have been put forward to measure cost efficiency for the DMUs which have a role in constructing the production possibility set; yet, there’s not an extensive literature on the cost efficiency (CE) measurement for sample DMUs (SDMUs). In an effort to remedy the shortcomings of current models, herein is introduced a generalized cost efficiency model that is capable of operating in a fuzzy environment-involving different types of fuzzy numbers-while preserving the Farrell’s decomposition of cost efficiency. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, the present paper is the first to measure cost efficiency by using vectors. Ultimately, a useful example is provided to confirm the applicability of the proposed methods.

Induztrialization edge and economic growth bring some consequences to the society, such as pollution or environmental damage. The responsibility is not only lies in business sector but also contributed by society and public sector-government institution as their daily operational produce some waste material. One ofmaterial use in such organization daily activities is paper. Unproper use of paper will impact on cost inefficiency, as well as environmental damage due to the main material of producing paper taken from forest.Government as public service organization mostly deals with paper in their daily administrative business. While the othersites it also encouraged to put priority on budget efficiency included in paper consumption. This study aims to describe in what extend government efficiency initiative align in it environmental concerned. Specifically this study will explore the use of paper as one of most daily resource in government office using environmental management accounting (EMA)framework. The results convey that notion on some regulation pertaining with budget efficiency in Indonesia has similarity with the spirit and the benefit provided in term of EMA application. By implementing EMA properly, government may get information on cost efficiency along with environmental sustainability.
