Abstract

The DMAIC (Define, Measurement Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology of Six Sigma has been widely recognized as a breakthrough process improvement strategy for application among human resources that offers an impressive reduction in defects or errors in many business processes. Even though Six Sigma’s DMAIC was predominantly applied in the manufacturing industry, recent studies have revealed that it has been implemented effectively in the service industry as well. This article aims to explore the benefits and the fundamental challenges of DMAIC implementation as a student’s course project in five Indonesian service companies. An exploratory study was conducted to provide a clear understanding of DMAIC method implementation in service companies. A similar challenge, the lack of openness of the company, was found across cases. Several enhancements in company performance were identified, including improved customer satisfaction, reduction in delivery errors, and shorter waiting time. This research also highlighted the usage of some non-statistical tools and techniques that effectively contribute to each phase of the DMAIC method. Lastly, all five companies reported that these improvement projects offer positive benefits, including increased revenue and cost reduction.

Abstract

The economy is shifting into the digital economy and to overcome it, the banking industry competes through innovation and digital strategy. Smartphone-based mobile banking is the key component of the digital strategy with 70% of the banks agree to focus their strategy on mass customer segment (PWC, 2017).The purposes of the study are to identify the predicting factors influencing the intention to use mobile banking and empirically validate a model explaining the behavioral intention to use it, especially on the Bottom of Pyramid (BOP) segment. The model used was Structural Equation Model (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS). The data used for developing the model was based on a survey to 100 BOP households.The results of this study show that the variables that have the highest significant effect on BOP’s customer intention to use mobile banking are involuntary barriers, followed by perceived risk, and attitude. This result can be further used by researchers and mobile banking providers to evaluate the existing mobile banking services to improve its contribution in providing better market penetration and more appropriate financial services for BOP and ultimately financial inclusion in Indonesia.Keywords: Mobile Banking, Intention, Structural Equation Model

Abstract

The creative industry is currently growing very rapidly in developing countries. This is indicated by various government policies to increase the competitiveness of this industry. Value chains are needed to gain the competitive advantage within this industry at every additional step of the chain. However, there is no comprehensive research on the creative industry value chain in developing countries, such as Indonesia, especially in small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This study attempts to explore the concept of industrial chain values to narrow the gaps that exists in the literature. The research method used is a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews and observations of 11 SMEs consisting of 5 creative business sub-sectors, namely the culinary, fashion, craft, photography, and visual communication design sectors. The results of this study indicate that, in creative industries, co- creation is the differentiator on the value chain activities, especially those that offer customization. Meanwhile, the use of social media is also considered as an important value chain activities that must be used to effectively communicate the value of the business. The results of this study can be used by stakeholders in Indonesian SMEs as a reference for formulating competitiveness strategies for this creative industry.

Abstract

This study investigates the financial behavior and preferences of the bottom of the pyramid (BOP) group, and thus, contributes to the financial inclusion demand-side literature. A survey of 100 households was conducted. A cluster analysis was used to analyze the data and portray the characteristics of the BOP. Further analysis was conducted using chi-square and ANOVA tests. The results reveal three sub-groups within the BOP which consists of the very low, low, and medium. Financial behaviors are found to be indifferent among the sub-groups, except for savings allocations and financial planning. Households with a better economic condition are found to have a higher attention to use banking services. The financial literacy category indicates different attitudes in conducting long-term financial planning and service preferences. This result implies that financial literacy and adequate financial products are beneficial towards the financial inclusion of the BOP group.
