Improving Competitive Advantage through Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) supported by Value Creation and New Product Development on Manufacturing Sector in Bekasi Indonesia

2025-08-05T09:04:03+00:00

This study examines how Value Creation and New Product Development (NPD) influence Competitive Advantage, and whether Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mediate these relationships in the manufacturing sector. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, data were collected from 272 respondents across Bekasi’s manufacturing firms and analyzed using PLS-SEM via SmartPLS. The findings reveal that both Value Creation (β = 0.260, t = 2.297, p = 0.022, f² = 0.148) and NPD (β = 0.455, t = 4.949, p < 0.001, f² = 0.458) significantly and positively impact Competitive Advantage, with NPD exerting a stronger effect. Engagement with SDGs also positively affects Competitive Advantage (β = 0.158, t = 2.258, p = 0.024), albeit to a lesser extent. However, the direct relationships from Value Creation or NPD to SDG performance were not statistically significant, and SDGs did not mediate their effects on Competitive Advantage. This research contributes to theory by confirming innovation and stakeholder-centered value creation as primary drivers of competitive positioning, while highlighting that SDG alignment supports—but does not transmit—the benefits of operational and innovation efforts. Practically, it suggests firms should fortify value creation and NPD capabilities, and strategically integrate sustainability to amplify their competitive impact. The study is original in detailing the non-significant mediation of SDGs, challenging the common assumption that sustainability goals automatically follow from value or innovation investments. It provides nuanced insights into the distinct and complementary roles of value creation, product innovation, and sustainability engagement in driving competitive advantage in manufacturing contexts

2025-07-10T00:51:14+00:00

Purpose: This study analyzes how CSR, innovation, and environmental policies influence organizational sustainability. It also examines how organizational culture mediates these factors to enhance overall performance.

Method: Study employ a quantitative research design, distributing structured questionnaires to employees and management in various industries. The data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to assess the relationships between the independent variables (innovation, CSR, and environmental practices), the mediating variable (organizational culture), and the dependent variable (organizational sustainability).

Results/Findings: The reasuts reveal Digital communication technology strongly enhances innovation (β = 0.771, t = 22.06, p < 0.001), while R&D modestly boosts innovation (β = 0.087, t = 1.96, p = 0.025). Notably, digital technology has no direct impact on productivity (β = 0.014, t = 0.50, p = 0.308). In contrast, R&D almost perfectly drives productivity (β = 0.996, t = 136.01, p < 0.001), and innovation also contributes positively but only slightly (β = 0.019, t = 2.00, p = 0.036). All interpretations align with standard significance benchmarks (|t| ≈ 2, p < 0.05) .

Contribution: By presenting data on important factors and the mediating function of organizational culture, this study advances our understanding of organizational sustainability. It provides practitioners and policymakers with helpful ideas on how to take use of these characteristics to enhance performance.

Originality: A comprehensive model of organizational sustainability is created by this research by combining five independent variables, a mediating variable, and a dependent variable. It presents a fresh viewpoint on how internal variables amplify the influence of sustainability drivers by highlighting the function of organizational culture, offering a comprehensive strategy for enhancing sustainability.

The Effect of Marketing Mix on Loyalty through Student Guardian Satisfaction at Private Islamic Full Day Schools in Surabaya

2025-09-01T10:24:56+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of the service marketing mix (7Ps)—product, price, place, promotion, people, process, and physical evidence—on the satisfaction and loyalty of students' guardians at private Islamic full-day junior high schools (SMP Islam) in Surabaya. The research is driven by the increasing competition among Islamic educational institutions and the need for effective marketing strategies to enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty among guardians as key decision-makers. This research uses a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. The sample consists of 384 respondents who are guardians of students from grades 7, 8, and 9 across 12 private Islamic full-day junior high schools with accreditation levels A, B, and C. The sampling technique employed is stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through path analysis with the assistance of SPSS. The results indicate that all dimensions of the marketing mix (7Ps) have a positive and significant influence on guardian satisfaction. Furthermore, satisfaction significantly affects loyalty, and most marketing mix dimensions also directly influence loyalty. Satisfaction is proven to act as a mediating variable in the relationship between the marketing mix and loyalty. A notable contribution of this study is the inclusion of the akhlaqul karimah (noble character) indicator within the product dimension, which reflects the unique values of Islamic education. The theoretical implications of this study reinforce the applicability of the 7P model in the Islamic educational sector and provide empirical contributions to the development of marketing strategies rooted in Islamic values. Practically, the findings offer valuable insights for school administrators to design more effective and satisfaction-oriented marketing strategies to foster guardian loyalty.

Manufacturing Company Performance Strategies and Influencing Factors with Competitiveness as Intervening Variable

2025-09-03T04:17:15+00:00

This study aimed to develop and empirically test a strategic model integrating Continuous Improvement (CI), Value Added (VA), and Organizational Culture, and their effects on Profitability, Competitiveness, and Performance in manufacturing firms. Utilizing a quantitative research design with survey data from manufacturing executives, the model was tested using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that both CI (β = 0.148, p < 0.05) and VA (β = 0.179, p < 0.05) significantly enhance Competitiveness, while only VA (β = 0.142, p < 0.05) directly and significantly improves Performance. CI’s influence on performance—both directly and via competitiveness—was not statistically significant, and no mediation effect of competitiveness was observed. This indicates that although CI supports competitive positioning, its translation into performance may rely on additional factors such as effective implementation, cultural alignment, or contextual conditions. The study contributes by pinpointing VA as a key driver of both competitive advantage and performance, and by revealing the limitations of CI’s direct impact in the absence of executional rigor. Its originality lies in the development of a novel integrative model that simultaneously examines CI, VA, and culture within a manufacturing setting, filling a gap in current empirical literature.
