Income inequality in Indonesia remains a controversial issue in the context of Indonesian macroeconomic condition that is evolving in output and government spending, and its increase in consumption accompanied by inflation and slowing of bank credit. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among macroeconomics, monetary and income inequality through a broad theoretical model by adopting a panel Structural Vector Auto-regression (SVAR) model to get more sample size during the period 2005-2018 at 33 provinces in Indonesia. The main results indicate that the variables of output and inflation have positive relationships. The relationship between output and income inequality is also significantly correlated, and those results supported by Kuznets's theory reveal that the relationship between economic growth and income inequality is positive in the short term. The relationship between inflation and income inequality is positive as well in Indonesia. This result is by the fact that low-income families are considered more vulnerable to inflation. The impact of non-food consumption shocks increases income inequality, while Indonesian government spending and bank credit shocks reduce income inequality. Then the response of savings and bank credit to the shock of income inequality is positive.

The change of monetary instruments certainly affects economic sectors differently Given the dual monetary system (Islamic and conventional) in Indonesia, it is interesting to see how those rates influence each of the economic sectors. This is important for the government in designing future economic programs by determining the specific sectors which must be prioritized. This paper aims to investigate the sensitivity of the economic sectors in response to the change in the Islamic and conventional monetary rate. The paper relies on the unit root test, the co-integration test, and impulse response functions, focusing on the period from May 2006 to February 2011. The data used is from monthly economic sectors for Islamic and conventional systems, Islamic monetary rates, and conventional monetary rates. The results show that Islamic banks play important roles in the monetary transmission process in the Indonesian economy. In particular, specific economic sectors react differently to both Islamic monetary instruments as well as conventional monetary instruments.

The IFRS can be applied in the multi national company (MNC) and listing firms across the country but it does not mean it can replace the national accounting standards that have been owned by respective countries. The accounting standardization is not an easy job because each country has different political, social, and economic background. This study is to reveal the reason and who is behind IFRS adoption in Indonesia. This qualitative research is a case study based on cases representing institutions in Indonesia: DSAK, DPN IAI, BAPEPAM-LK, the finance ministry and the ministry of state own enterprises (BUMN). Data were collected by interviews and using readily available documents and processed with thematic analysis. The result shows the adoption of IFRS decisions is driven by international interests. Indonesia's membership in several international organizations, such as IFAC (International Federation on Accountant), IOSCO, and the G-20, has resulted in the approval of global accounting standards in Indonesia. Each organization has done a variety ways to ensure that its members adopt IFRS. IFRS should be based more on Indonesia accounting needs and should not be only based on a desire particularly coercion from others. In-depth analysis based on the reality of each particular business should be conducted before a decision to adopt IFRS is taken.

This study aims to determine the reaction of foreign ownership on the Indonesia Stock Exchange to the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This study will examine the reaction of foreign ownership on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the periods 2007-2010 and 2012-2015. The variables used in this study are IFRS and foreign ownership. It finds that the obligation of IFRS does not affect the development of foreign investment in Indonesia, because accounting standards in Indonesia have been adjusted to IFRS since 2008 and investment decisions are not only influenced by standard accounting policies, but also by other factors, such as the economic and political conditions of a country. This study is motivated by the results of previous studies regarding the reaction of foreign ownership of IFRS adoption, which is still controversial. Some studies suggest that IFRS adoption increases information appeal and can attract foreign investment, while other research states that IFRS adoption will not necessarily increase the number of shares held by foreign investors.

This study investigates the potential horizontal and vertical spillovers from FDI towards firms' efficiency level on Indonesian manufacturing industries, using firm-level panel data. The result suggests that positive evidence of horizontal spillovers arise instantaneously, but the impacts of vertical spillovers appear a year later. These indicate that foreign competitors cause local firms more efficient in the same industry. Furthermore, after one period of time MNCs running their business in Indonesia, they bring positive impacts on downstream markets but deteriorate manufacturing industries in the upstream markets. Therefore, the Indonesian government must ensure that overall benefits from promoting FDI must overweight their negative impacts.

The presence of foreign firms in a region can create spillovers to other firms, both within the intra-industries (industries itself) and inter-industries (other industries). Spillover from foreign firms can be in the form of technology transfer, efficiency improvement, managerial knowledge which ultimately is expected to increase productivity for other firms not only in large enterprises but also for micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Hence, this paper aims to identify the potential backward spillover of foreign firms to MSMEs in East Java and the individual results show that the four highest backward spillovers values of foreign industries are industry of components and spare parts of the prime mover motor, industry of agricultural and forestry machinery and services for supporting, maintenance and repair, industry of pump and compressor and industry of measurement tools, manual regulator and testing. All of them are respectively located in Surabaya City, Pasuruan District, Pasuruan District and Mojekerto District. Furthermore, the general results show that the potential backward spillover exists in rubber, rubber goods and plastic goods industries as well as chemicals and goods from chemical material industries. The foreign firms which have highest backward spillovers are located in Pasuruan District, Mojekerto District, Sidoarjo District, Surabaya City and Gresik District. Therefore, the provincial government of East Java should immediately prepare and support both technically and financially to MSMEs in providing raw materials required by foreign firms based on the industrial classification and location results of this study. In addition, the provincial government of East Java can coordinate with the district governments in the areas of those foreign firms for preparing MSMEs in supplying raw materials.

This complaint system implemented at the Bondowoso District Inspectorate uses the form stipulated in the regent's regulation. In this system what is done is that the party making the complaint fills out the form by bringing evidence related to the reporting and must go to the Bondowoso Inspectorate office both this complaint individually or from an institution or non-governmental organization. The advantage of this system is that the inspectorate can interact directly with the party making the complaint so that when there is something less clear about the complaint, it can be asked directly to the applicant. But apart from all the advantages of the current system, the inspectorate still has to make a good inventory of complaints files, not to mention making assignments that must be done with a manual system so that it takes more time and takes up space. To overcome these problems, the authors feel the need to do an analysis to model the complaints system so that later the making of the complaints system can be well structured and meet the general description of the system needed. The design of this complaints system uses an object oriented method that can describe the behavior of objects related to the system. From the results of this modeling it was found that the complaints system modeling can accommodate problems that have occurred so far and facilitate the interaction of the reporter and the handling of reported cases.

To implement the governance tasks, professional, responsible, honest, and fair civil servants are needed. It can be attained through a training which is implemented based on the system of working performance and career that focuses on the system of working performance. Therefore, the appraisal of working performance is carried out to evaluate the performance of civil servants for providing guidance to the officials in the evaluation of unit and organization performance. This study aims to make intelligent agens design, so that the working units and governmental organizations can do evaluation based on the self-evaluation of their employees' working performance.

The biggest challenge faced by all organizations, both profit and non-profit, is their attempt to deal with a rapidly changing and complex environment. In standing at the threshold of the 21st Century, a century that will be characterized by competition, it is dominated by those with advanced technological capability, high productivity, modern and efficient transport and communication infrastructure. It will bring the competition that will necessitate highly skilled personnel imbued with initiative. But many organizations are not focusing on employees areas, especially on their weakness. It cannot be denied that any sophisticated owned infrastructure will not operate at its optimum efficiency without quality human resources. Increasing professionalism and responsibility by recruiting quality human resources is at the core of everything. In public organization or government, civil servants should rank highest priority in development because they are at the core of the organization, supporting the system. But in fact, a problem faced by almost all public organizations, regarding civil servants, is the ongoing absence of conducive conditions which would enable continual professional development. Issues relating to civil servants have existed for a long time, but they still make interesting discussion. There are early indications of various problems indicating that governance implementation is not yet clean and respectable. So how do we challenge this situation and realize harmony? Organizations that have discovered that individuals who practice personal mastery are holistic thinkers, can approach difficult situations proactively and solve problems creatively. Here is one of the ways to bring harmony into reality: by personal mastery.
