    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – To expand its contribution in addressing the challenges and needs of the industrial world in the era of digital transformation, the Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) has officially launched the Bachelor’s Degree (S1) Program in Digital Business under the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science (FTIK). The launch of this program has received official approval through Decree of the Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia No. 783/B/O/2026 regarding Approval for the Establishment of the Bachelor’s Degree Program in Digital Business at the Indonesian Computer University in Bandung, issued on July 22, 2026.

    Through this decision, UNIKOM’s Bachelor of Digital Business program was also declared to have met the minimum accreditation requirements in accordance with applicable regulations. The introduction of this new program represents a strategic step by UNIKOM to produce graduates capable of integrating information technology competencies with innovation and digital business strategies. The launch of the Digital Business Bachelor’s Degree Program reflects UNIKOM’s commitment as a Digital Entrepreneurial University to offering educational programs that adapt to technological advancements and the rapidly evolving needs of the digital industry. This program is also designed to produce professionals who not only understand modern business concepts but also master the use of digital technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to create innovative business solutions.

    During an interview, UNIKOM Vice Rector III for Research, Innovation, and Accreditation who also serves as Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Ir. Herman S.

Digital transformation has reshaped nearly every industrial sector, leading to a growing demand for human resources who possess competencies in both business and digital technology,” he said.

    He further added, “On the other hand, the availability of human resources who master both management and digital technology in an integrated manner remains very limited. Therefore, UNIKOM is launching the Digital Business Bachelor’s Degree Program as an effort to address this need and prepare graduates who are ready to face the developments in the digital industry,” he added. Furthermore, Assoc.

According to him, the primary objective of this program is to produce professionals capable of adapting to industry developments while driving innovation in the digital economy era.

This support is reinforced through UNIKOM’s strategic collaboration with Google via the UNIKOM x Google Learning Center Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, located in the lobby of UNIKOM’s Smart Building and serving as Indonesia’s first AI lab, thereby providing students with access to a variety of cutting-edge digital technologies and platforms relevant to industry needs.

    As the administering institution, UNIKOM is also committed to implementing the Digital Business Bachelor’s Degree Program in accordance with National Higher Education Standards and applicable laws and regulations, including reporting on the program’s implementation to the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology as mandated by the Ministerial Decree. Furthermore, the launch of the Bachelor of Digital Business program is part of UNIKOM’s efforts to support the transformation of higher education in alignment with the developments of the industrial revolution and the national digital economy. By combining technological excellence, innovation, and entrepreneurship, UNIKOM is confident that this program will be one of the best choices for young people seeking careers in the digital business sector.

The research method is descriptive qualitative data collection techniques through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature study. The method of determining the informants used purposive sampling. Test the validity and reliability of the data using data triangulation techniques. The results show that Lombok’s digital economy-based tourism development policy is not yet optimal. This can be seen from the limited marketing and distribution of community products, especially for MSMEs. So, it can be concluded that there must be a policy from the government to develop digital economy-based tourism in Lombok so that the community’s economy increases. © 2023, Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

  • Auditor Quality Analysis of Audit Findings in Timor-Leste

    Authors: Wati Aris Astuti, Surtikanti, Eneida

    DOI: 10.15549/jeecar.v10i4.1377

    Abstract

    This study aims to provide empirical evidence regarding the quality of auditors obtained from audit findings and the performance of local government apparatus in producing audit findings at the Central Government Inspectorate. The research method used is a descriptive verification method with SPSS 2.0. The results of the study show that auditor quality has a significant effect on audit findings. This proves that a qualified auditor in disclosing audit findings requires professional expertise and skills in carrying out his duties. And the results of research on audit findings have a poor performance impact on local government administration. This indicates that the fewer the number of audit findings found, the better the performance of local government administration. In other words, the fewer problems or violations found during the audit process, the better the performance of the local government. © 2023, Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

    Purchase Decision in Terms of Content Marketing and E-Wom on Social Media

    Authors: Raeny Dwi Santy, Reggina Andriani

    DOI: 10.15549/jeecar.v10i6.1502

    Abstract

    This study examined how Generation Z consumers decide whether or not to buy skincare products based on Marketing Content and Electronic Word-of-Mouth (e-WOM) on Instagram. The study was conducted quantitatively, employing descriptive and verification research techniques. The study employed analytical techniques such as multiple linear regression analysis to discover that, while e-WOM had no influence on purchase decisions, marketing content had a moderate influence. However, a simultaneous examination of marketing content and electronic word-of-mouth revealed a significant influence on purchasing decisions. As a result, when viewing skincare products online, potential customers’ perceptions of content marketing and e-WOM would influence their decision-making process, potentially leading to a purchase decision. © 2023, Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

    Authors: Tine Agustin Wulandari, Mohammad Iqbal Assidiq

    DOI: 10.15549/jeecar.v10i4.1365

    Abstract

    Influencer marketing is one of the digital marketing strategies currently used by many companies. The purpose of this research is to find out and describe the influencer marketing strategy implemented specifically by an application-based FMCG product provider (start-up company) in Indonesia to market FMCG products such as fruits, vegetables, milk, and others that have a relatively short product life, using a qualitative approach and descriptive study. The results showed that the influencer marketing strategy implemented by an application-based FMCG product provider consists of four stages: determining (making), managing relationships, monitoring, and evaluating (measuring) influencer’s marketing campaigns. Research conclusion, this strategy is a repeated cycle. The last stage (evaluation or measure) is the input to determine the influencer marketing in the next campaign. © 2023, Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. All rights reserved.

  • Development of Micro Small-Medium Business in Asian Countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Thailand): A Comparison in Accounting Behavior

    Authors: Sri Dewi Anggadini, Senny Luckyardi, Surtikanti

    DOI: 10.15549/jeecar.v10i3.1300

    Abstract

    This study examines how to support and improve micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in ASEAN countries, which have been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. This study employs a qualitative research method, which emphasizes observing and examining the substance and meaning of the phenomena more deeply. The research found that the success of MSMEs in Indonesia depends on factors like the business sector, size, financial management, and digital technology use. Similarly, MSMEs policies in Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, and Indonesia can help increase state income, but require investment in areas like human resources, finance, and marketing. The study aims to provide insights into the strengths and weaknesses of MSMEs in these countries to help promote their development. © 2023, Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
