Abstract: The developments of public administration theory and practice have been being influenced by the perspectives of new public management (NPM) and governance. NPM initiated with the transfer of management from private to public sector and transfer of ownership from public to private sector (privatization) takes a risk in which public services will not be provided for the poor and marginalised people. Governance fixes the weaknesses of NPM to be more accountable to the need of the people. Accountability is essential for facilitating transparency and participation in public sector management.

Abstract: Accounting firms, as information providers, are directly impacted by the manner in which information is managed. Previous researches conducted in Australia, United States, and Japan indicate that information measured by nutrient information and information consciousness constructs has the influence on job satisfaction among accountants in accounting firms. The research investigates the influence of information factors using nutrient information and information consciousness constructs of job satisfaction in accounting firms in Jakarta and Surabaya. The data were collected through questionnaires in which 105 respondents participated. The result of the research, with the consideration over the control variables, shows that nutrient information, information required by auditors, has a significant influence on job satisfaction, but information consciousness fails to do so. The result indicates that accountants need information to increase their expertise via seniors/supervisors feedback and recognition on performance achievement. On the other side, accounting firms seem to have not facilitated their staff yet with the sufficient facilities to access the required information.

Abstract: There has always been a big challenge facing any product development team: how can they project the success of a new product while they are still at the early stage of product development? In efforts to forecast the success of a new product, a great number of works have been done to forecast the sales of new product at the downstream process, e.g. when a product is completely produced and is ready to launch. However, there are still considerably few works in projecting the success of new product while a product is still at the so-called the fuzzy-front-end stage. In practice, the evaluation process becomes difficult due to an intricate network of factors that determine product success. The objective of this paper is twofold; first is to present the landscape of ambiguity at the conceptual stage and second is to present the analytic network process (ANP) in projecting new product success. Different from the hierarchical model of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) that does not recognize two-way dependence relationships among variables, the ANP allows dependence and feedback influences so that alternative can depend on the criteria as in a hierarchy but they may also depend on each other, vice versa. A numerical example illustrating the application of the approach is given.

Abstract: Knowledge Management has recently emerged as a new discipline and is generating considerable interest among academics and managers. The main propose of knowledge management is to help create a Learning Organization, and the Learning Organization is the key to future success for organization. I conceive knowledge management as the process through which organizational knowledge is created from the individual knowledge of the members of the organization. We develop our theoretical arguments by building on the framework of Nahapiet and Ghoshal (1998) whose central thesis is that firm social capital facilitates the conditions for knowledge creation and provides advantage o firms over markets. Social capital mostly comprises knowledge (trust, beliefs, rules, and norms). The capacity to individually and collectively learn (in networks) is therefore arguably the most important form of social capital, even if rarely acknowledged as such in the literature. Social capital can enhance the capacity to take effective action in human social systems. Knowledge management to enhance the human capacity takes effective action by fostering the growth and development of social capital. Knowledge management can be implemented in every organizational discipline, i.e. Human Resource Management. This paper is concerned with the relevance of knowledge management to human resource management within organization. Human resource management is well positioned to ensure the success of knowledge management programs in organization.

Abstract: The purpose of this article is to know the impact of the rises in crude oil price or fuel oil price on the economy, especially on inflation and poverty. Method utilized in this writing is by literature review of some studies or research for the case of Indonesia and some other countries. The rises in crude oil price that then raise the fuel oil price apparently cause the rise in inflation. Occurred inflation is caused by cost-push inflation. The magnitude of the rise in inflation is not so large, if the magnitude of the rise in oil price or fuel oil price is not so large, too. In Indonesia, the average rise in fuel oil price (premium, solar, and kerosene) as 30 % will raise the inflation as 0.5 % 1.5 % in short term. The same phenomena also occurred in some other countries. The rise in crude oil price and fuel oil price also raise the poverty or the number of the poor. The impact of the rise on the economy, especially unemployment and poverty, can be explained with 3 (three) approaches: (1) classic supply shock, (2) real money balance effect, and (3) income transfer effect. In Indonesia, the rise in fuel oil price as 30% is calculated can raise the number of the poor as 2% – 9%. The percentage magnitude of the rise in the number of the poor also depends on the assumption utilized to estimate and the method utilized in research.
