Abstract: National economic growth is a process where there is an increase in real gross national product or real national income. Meanwhile, regional economic growth is a process of increasing gross regional domestic product and increasing prosperity. The economy is said to be growing or developing when there is a change in real output. Economic growth in Teluk Bintuni Regency is in a fairly good condition. In order for the economic growth that occurs in TelukBintuni Regency to be directed and efficient, it is necessary to identify the basic sector or potential sector, and it is necessary to formulate an appropriate development strategy so that it can achieve the targeted economic growth. This study aims to identify what sectors are included in the basic sector and how appropriate strategies are used in order to increase the economic growth of potential sectors and encourage the growth of other sectors. The research method used is LQ Analysis, Shift share, Klassen Typology and SWOT. The results of the study indicate that the sectors that have competitive advantage and specialization are the mining and quarrying sector and the manufacturing industry sector. By looking at the situation, the local government of Teluk Bintuni Regency is optimizing the strategic sector, namely the mining and quarrying sector and industrial processing while still paying attention to other sectors. Local governments must be able to optimize the market share of the mining and quarrying sector as well as the processing industry as well as improve facilities and infrastructure related to the sustainability of economic sectors. The government is also expected to be proactive, and together with the community in determining the right policies so that prosperity can be achieved.","PeriodicalId":246044,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Business & Management","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123613500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several types of research confirmed the positive impact of innovation on firm performance. Innovation is the main factor that affects the performance, long-term viability, and sustainability of the organization (Zapata-Cantu et al., 2016). Yin & Sheng (2019) stated that innovation is aimed at improving the firm’s performance in the long term. Evangelista Abstract: We examine the relationship between innovation efficiency and firm performance, as well as the moderating role of environmental uncertainty in the relationship. Competitive globalization pressures, dynamic changes in customer demand, and rapid technological advances make it difficult for firms to achieve and maintain their competitive advantage. We argue that when environmental uncertainty increases, innovation is needed to maintain the firm’s competitive advantage, by making it efficient in its implementation. We tested manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange year 2013-2019 with a total number 564 observations. We find that a innovation efficiency improves firm performance, and environmental uncertainty can encourage firms to be more efficient in innovating to improve their performance. This study contributes to a greater understanding of the relationship between innovation efficiency and firm performance in the situation of dynamic environmental uncertainty from the perspective of contingency theory. The evidence shows that environmental uncertainty, as a contingency problem, is an opportunity for firms to improve their performance, by being more active in carrying out innovation projects. When environmental uncertainty increases, policymakers within the firm must ensure that the innovation projects carried out can run efficiently, thus providing great benefits for improving firm performance. the interaction of innovation efficiency and environmental uncertainty with firm performance.

This has had distressing effects on families in monetary terms, emotionally through trauma and grief and the distraction of lives dependents lives. Numerous policies have been set to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in security services delivered by the National police service. However, despite these policy strategies and effort, security service delivered by NPS in Kenya remains a challenge. The terrain in statistics, reports, and empirical studies indicate that there is a persistent trend that citizens continue to lose their lives and properties daily due to poor security services provided by NPS. Policy formulation has been cited as one of key effects on Security services provided by National police service. Policy formulation in NPS has not been effective based on a persistently severe public pain, attracting government attention. In Kenya several Policies have been developed permitting the creation and direction of police institutions to accomplish peace and security. Despite the many security initiatives, the actual security service by National Police service (NPS) has been diminishing, which is a clear manifestation of the existence of deficient Policy formulation in the NPS. The concern is why poor security services in a country with elaborate policy frameworks. This study determined the influence of policy formulation on security service delivery by the National Police Service in Kenya. Study results indicate that ppolicy formulation was significantly influencing NPS's quality of security services. Evidence of an inverse association between Policy formulation and the quality of security services delivered by NPS was evident. Further, policy formulation had not been a participatory activity, and the current security policies had not been implemented effectively. model-based methods, agent-based methods, architectural and database federation approach. officers are not comfortable with the policy formulations process in NPS. The findings confirm what Lapke and Dhillon (2020), argues, that how the creation of security service policy and application is accompanied with potential challenges that are hard to measure. A misrepresentation of security officer intent may be worded differently to relay different information. A system user from the end of the spectrum may unexpectedly interpret a policy. These circumstances are a possible cause of the unharmonious stance between security policy development and implementation. five","PeriodicalId":246044,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Business & Management","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115249333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study sought to determine the effect of selected macroeconomic drivers on economic growth. The study was anchored on Endogenous growth theory. Anchored in the philosophical paradigm of positivism, the study adopted an explanatory research design and relied on secondary data from the Kenya Bureau of statistics with the data spanning from 1990 to 2020. The study employed bound test to test for long run relationship and Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL) in the empirical analysis to evaluate the relationship among the variables. The data was subjected to stationarity test using Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test. The long run ARDL results indicated that the coefficients of; exchange rate 0.080 ((cid:6) − (cid:8)(cid:9)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:12) 0.033 < 0.05) , and lending interest rate −0.172 ((cid:6) − (cid:8)(cid:9)(cid:10)(cid:11)(cid:12) 0.011 < 0.05) significantly affected economic growth.

The study explored the digital marketing strategies adopted by the hotels and investigated the influence of size on the adoption of digital marketing by the hotels. Through purposive sampling, a sample of 130 was drawn from hotels that adopt digital marketing as evidenced by their online presence through owning a website. Quantitative data was generated with online questionnaire. The questionnaire was piloted-tested on 18 sample of similar population and using Chronbach’s alpha, a reliability coefficient of 0.86 was obtained. Google Forms was used for the preparation and distribution of the instrument and the data generated was analysed using distributive statistics and percentages. Chi-Square was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 significance level. The findings show that the hotels adopted the use of social media and email marketing as digital marketing strategies to achieve the marketing goals. It was found out that there is significant difference in the adoption of digital marketing strategies based on size of the hotels. Based on the findings, it was recommended that the hotels should embark on digital marketing training for the staff, digital marketing educators should design affordable training programme for the hotel.","PeriodicalId":246044,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Business & Management","volume":"164 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124597302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
