Abstract: <\/b>In our current globalized world, green chemistry is becoming the strength leading towards sustainable development. It is evident that that many academic institutions and industries recognize the importance of innovations in green chemistry. It is imperative to teach the value of green chemistry to future generations. Chemistry and its application plays vital role in many industries such as medicine. Green chemistry is tool for innovation which includes business, education and economy to build a sustainable future. Hence, we should now concentrate on innovation in green chemistry to reduce the environmental damage and eliminate the use and generation of hazardous substances. There are various innovations in green chemistry such as renewable feed stocks, use of catalysts in experiments, proper disposal of waste, design of safer chemicals and auxiliaries, design for degradation and reactions with more efficient syntheses and high efficiency formulation. This conceptual paper addressing innovations in green chemistry and steps need to be taken by various industries to incorporate green chemistry for a sustainable development.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Abstract: <\/b>This research aimed to determine the sustainability of supply chain management in Cocoa-Processing company in Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Southeast Sulawesi is one of the biggest produces in Indonesia, and this newly established company planned to utilise this valuable resources, cocoa plantation. The company produces intermediate products of cocoa: liquor, butter, cake, and powder. Even the company is in the early stages of business, it is trying to apply sustainability to the supply chain. The company see this necessary as a competitive advantage in the industry. To evaluate the applied sustainable supply chain, a performance measurement is being done to see how well sustainable supply chain run is. A Sustainability Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) is used to measure. Key Performance Indicators (KPI) are designed from brainstorming with the company and elaboration from company\u2019s vision and mission. The structure of SBSC for SSCM was the modification of initial balanced scorecard by adding Suppliers perspective and Non-market perspective. All KPIs is then pair-compared to get the prioritised weighted score using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). KPI scores are calculated by using \u201cTarget\/ Actual\u201d scoring system. The results showed that the company\u2019s SSCM is not well performed. Over half of the KPIs are under performance. Continues improvement is needed to increase company\u2019s SSCM performance and keep the sustainability of cocoa production.<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/b> : Indonesia is a country well-known for its tourist paradise. One notable destination is the city of Yogyakarta, the second tourist destination in Indonesia after Bali. Yogyakarta is known as a special region in Indonesia referred to as a special region of Yogyakarta. Yogyakarta as one of the world heritage city, has hundreds of historic buildings in the area ofcultural heritage. UNESCO appraise Yogyakarta as a city that has agood effort towards the preservation of cultural heritage objects. On the other hand, the local Government of Yogyakarta gives its great attention on improving the development of the city. There is an understanding\u00a0 <\/span>that the development of the Yogyakarta will have big impact on its position as a city of culture. One of the support provided by the Yogyakarta City Government to encourage owners of cultural heritage preserve is to provide incentives of Land and Building Tax toward Heritage Buildings\/ Cultural Heritage Building.\u00a0<\/span> Land and Building tax is one of local revenue area in the local budget. Land and Building Tax\u2019s incentive aims to support the owner \/ manager of Heritage Buildings\/ Cultural Heritage Building\u00a0 <\/span>in his tax payments. The amount of incentive funds can be budgeted up to 1% of the revenue target of Land and Building Tax in the current fiscal year. This study analyzes the tax incentive in Yogyakarta City. The analytical method used is descriptive qualitative analysis. The analysis conducted on the amountof the incentives and evaluate the magnitude of such incentives. Data obtained from the archives of the Department of Regional Tax and Financial Management of Yogyakarta City,\u00a0 <\/span>Financial Statements and official website of the City Government of Yogyakarta,as well as other related websites. The amount of the incentive will compare with the tax target in the regional budget of the year, then analyzed its effectiveness. In the period 2011-2015, the tax incentives averaged 75.78% of the target or Rp316.494.000, – per year. According to the source, unsuccessful 100% realization of the target incentive tax is due to rounding in the calculation process. In nominal terms, on some objects, the value of the incentive is quite small. Actually there is a chance to increase the realization of the tax\u2019s incentive which is equal to the existing gap, i.e an average of 24.22% per annum of\u00a0 <\/span>the target incentive that is Rp100.522.554,00. It required a new formula or new policies, for example to revise the regulationso the tax incentives could bemore than 1% against to the Land and Building Tax target.<\/p>\n

Abstract: <\/b>One of the “Nawacita Programs” Indonesian government is to realize economic independence by moving the strategic sectors of the domestic economy and sustainability resilience of the food and beverage industry. This paper attempt to illuminate of Indonesia\u2019s food and beverage industry using structure, conduct and peforrmance\u00a0 <\/span>(SCP) paradigm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We employed\u00a0 <\/span>Concentration Ratios\u00a0 <\/span>(CR4),\u00a0 <\/span>Minimum Efficiency of Scale (MES), Efficiency – X (XEF) and\u00a0 <\/span>Output Growth to Price Cost Margin (PCM) with analysis data panel. We used value added and wages data on ten food and beverage industry where listed in Indonesia\u2019s Stock Effect on year 2010 until 2015.<\/p>\n

The structure of food and beverage industry suggested that an oligopoly\u00a0 <\/span>with high\u00a0 <\/span>concentration has been found, albeit declined slightly over period 2010 \u2013 2015. It is also with the Minimum Efficiency of Scale (MES) showed a decrease barriers to entry. It’s mean the food and beverage industry in Indonesia not competitive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Based on analysis market performance; the highest value of Price Cost Margin during the past 15 years for food and beverage industry in Indonesia’s are the PT. Multi Bintang Indonesia Tbk, PT. Prashida Aneka Niaga Tbk and PT. Light Wilmar Indonesia Tbk with the output value is higher than the other companies.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0 <\/span>S-C-P theory, if CR4, MES and Growth decreased then the Efficiency-X will increase, it\u2019s causing Price Cost Margin increased. Variable Price Cost Margin (PCM) is positively and significantly influenced by Efficiency-X (XEF). While variable CR4 and MES as a proxy of market structure and, Growth as a proxy on performance\u00a0 <\/span>the food and beverage industry in Indonesia does not affect to the PCM. This means that food and beverage industry in Indonesia is not influential as a competitive.<\/p>\n
