In Indonesia, the success of coal extraction largely depends on the role of mining contractors. One of these successes is determined by proper asset management amidst uncertainty in the coal business, such as sustainability and digitalization issues. However, research that identifies the role of asset management in improving the performance of mining projects is still rare. Therefore, this research investigates the impact of Information technology capability, sustainability practices, and asset management on improving the performance of coal mining contractor projects in Indonesia. This research uses quantitative methods, with questionnaire data filled in by 128 project managers of mining contractor projects spread across Indonesia and analyzed by applying structural equation modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that Information technology capability and sustainability practices have a substantial and beneficial effect on improving asset management, which then enhances the performance of mining contractors. Interestingly, there is no direct impact of Information technology capability and sustainability practices on the operational performance of mining projects, so asset management is highly needed. The originality of this study is in the recognition of asset management as a valuable asset for firms that have integrated Information technologies & sustainability practices, as it promotes improved operational performance of projects, and there is still rarely any previous research that examines sustainability practices and asset management, especially mining projects. This research contributes to developing the resource-based view (RBV) theory and also contributes managerially to the practices that mining contractors must carry out when dealing with uncertain business situations.

Coal mining is a very important sector in Indonesia, but there has been a decline in the realization of coal production in recent years, so this can reduce state revenues. One of the big challenges in the mining sector is the uncertainty of the mining business, such as information technology and sustainability concerns, that affect the mining industry's supply chain procedure. The purpose of this examination is to identify and determine the performance of supply chain resilience in the face of business uncertainty by determining the function of IT capabilities and sustainability practices in coal mining contractors. This research was conducted using a quantitative research method approach that was carried out using a structured survey instrument. The methodology employed in this study is built on purposive sampling, which is a non-probability selection method. The researchers used the Structural Equation Model (SEM) to examine data that were gathered from a sample of 128 project managers of coal mining contractors in Indonesia. The findings of this study demonstrated that project operational performance was significantly and favorably impacted by supply chain resilience. Additionally, a major and advantageous mediating IT skill in the operational execution of projects is supply chain resilience. Furthermore, it was shown that the use of IT capacity and the implementation of sustainability practices had a noteworthy and favorable influence on enhancing the performance of mining contractor projects. This research also provides information that environmental dynamism does not significantly moderate supply chain resilience on mining project performance. The novelty of this research is the contribution of supply chain resilience as an important resource for organizations that are integrated with IT capabilities to encourage increased project operational performance, especially for coal mining contractors. Additionally, research is still rarely carried out in between sustainability practices and supply chain resilience in the mining sector. It is concluded that coal mining contractor projects need to build supply chain resilience at the site amidst the uncertainty of the coal mining business.

The Gratification Obtained is an essential part of media studies. It analyzes the gratifications obtained by the media users. This paper reveals findings from observations towards the digital media users in four countries in Southeast Asia using 5 key indicators; namely self-expression, learning needs, leisure & entertainment, escape from real life and killing time, with an analysis from the demographic perspective of the respondents including gender, education, country and age. The results of the survey show that gratifications obtained in the digital media in these countries were not correlated with gender and education, but it was different or correlated with country and age of the respondents.

Social media is one of the most important elements in the process of industry 4.0. It has transformed itself into not just a platform for social interactions, but into a powerful marketing tool. People posting pictures or information through social media will likely influence others seeing it. This research investigates the impact of social media postings on millennial (Gen Y) tourists’ decision in choosing destinations, as well as the perceptions of social media users toward the information they gather from the social media about the tourism destinations. World Travel and Tourism Council in its release in 2018 revealed that tourism industry represents 10.4% of total global GDP. The industry has also contributed 20% of new jobs globally created in the last decade. The findings from samples taken from respondents in greater Jakarta (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi) show that social media contributes significantly on shaping the millennial tourists’ decision in choosing their holiday destinations.

This study examines the impact of environmental uncertainty and integrative strategy on growth of firm performance through the mediating role of the Business Model Transformation (BMT) strategy of information communication technology (ICT) in Indonesia. The research data was collected from the executive management of ICT through survey research with 30 questionnaire surveys and exploratory study with seven company leaders through in-depth interviews. This study analyzes the suitability of the overall model through causal relationships using Partial Least Square-Path Modeling (PLS-PM). The results show that the BMT predominantly influences the growth of ICT companies. The BMT is predominantly built by the environmental uncertainty (ET) strategy rather than by integrative capability. Thus, companies need to improve their ability and creativity to anticipate and adapt to any uncertainty that unexpectedly results in dynamic competition.
