The Doctoral Program in Economics (PDIE), Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), organizes the International Colloquium on Business and Economics (ICBE) as an annual event.

At this year’s ICBE, the study program invited 4 (four) speakers from three universities, namely Universiti Malaya, UNS, and Universitas Prima Graha. The four keynote speakers are Dr. Farzana Parveen Tajudeen and Prof. Dr. Noor Ismawati Binti Jaafar, from Universiti Malaya, Malaysia.

The Doctoral Program in Economics (PDIE), Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), presented Prof. Sr. Noor Ismawati Binti Jaafar from Universiti Malaya at the Research Methodology Workshop, Tuesday, November 14, 2023. The virtual workshops were mostly attended by PDIE students.

Opening the session, Prof. Noor said that in Research in Organizations, there are several challenges and skills that a researcher needs to minimize the possibility of failure in an IT implementation project.

The main purpose of this workshop is to introduce the best approach to explore IT governance in an organization, thus, breaking negative stereotypes about IT developments in the recent era.

“IT governance is actually a combination of numerous aspects. Therefore, this involves people from the IT department. It involves people from the accounting department. It also involves people from the strategy section. Hence, we can see how complex the problems related to IT management in the organization are,” explained Prof. Noor in her explanation related to the definition of IT.

Furthermore, she said that there are several things that need to be considered, especially about performance management. We can verify the strategic suitability, review our IT performance measurement, and IT centralization of the business. “So, I will briefly discuss the importance of IT governance. IT governance actually helps organizations comply with any regulations. IT governance also helps organizations to be competitive and also supports the company’s goals, whatever the goals the organization has,” she explained.

By having proper IT governance, the organization can ensure that the company/organization can achieve its goals. IT governance can be a supporting factor to encourage the growth and innovation of a company/organization.

After the presentation of the material, the speakers conducted a discussion session with the participants, and through this workshop, the participants gained experience and assistance in IT governance.

Doctoral Program in Economics (PDIE), Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) held a Success Story Business Workshop on Friday 27 October 2023 at Konimex Hall Bachtiar Effendi Building FEB UNS.

Thus, it will further encourage the achievement of academic quality in PDIE FEB UNS as the targets set in the Strategic Plan and the vision and mission of PDIE FEB UNS and maintain the institution’s excellent ‘A-rating’ accreditation.

Meanwhile, Fitra Roman in his presentation emphasized the importance of contemporary topics in research. “The fundamental question is why students need contemporary topics in conducting research. Some of the current and upcoming contemporary research topics include the use of accounting in technology, the use of accounting in health, and the use of accounting in the circular economy. Some of these topics can be explored into a novel research topic that needs to get a quick response from students,” he said.

Furthermore, he explains that the theoretical foundation becomes very important for the development of this research topic. Fitra also provides several examples of contemporary accounting topics including Issues in accounting education (e.g. impacts of AI and online platforms), Narrative disclosure – e.g. readability and decoupling, Issues in corporate governance (e.g. political background of directors/commissioners), and Management accounting in family businesses.

In this forum, the speakers provided many opportunities for the workshop participants to discuss, hopefully, participants understood the topics of scientific works included in the latest accounting research and could implement them.

Scientific article writing is a major necessity in the academic sector, both as lecturers and as students. Lecturers are required to do research activities under the Higher Education Tri Dharma as an effort to develop their professionalism.

Graduating on time becomes a target for all students, including doctoral students at the Doctoral Program in Economics (PDIE), Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS).

Length of study and graduation rate constitute a major interest for education institutions because it is related to the accreditation of the study program. The longer a student’s study period within a study program, the lower the score points given for related assessment aspects in an accreditation assessment. Conversely, the shorter the study period, which is in line with the provided target, will increase the score related to graduation assessment in the accreditation process.

Timely graduation is also the target of a lecturer’s supervisory activity as a form of academic service.

Considering these aspects, PDIE FEB UNS hosted the Workshop on Tips and Tricks for Graduating on Time for Doctoral Degree Students, Monday, August 21, 2023, in the Konimex Room of the Bachtiar Effendi Building. This agenda aims to improve PDIE FEB UNS students’ motivation to graduate on time. Hence the length of the student’s study period, especially at PDIE FEB UNS, will be aligned with the predetermined objective of the Study Program.

The workshops invited experts in postgraduate level learning who also have numerous publication experiences and preparation of scientific papers. The two speakers, are Dr. Wuryan Andayani, SE, M.Sc., Ak., from Universitas Brawijaya, and Prof. Dr. Dyah Sawitri, SE, MM., from Gajayana University.

The activity was attended by PDIE FEB UNS lecturers and students, as well as general participants with an opening remark from the Head of PDIE FEB UNS, followed by the presentation of material by the speakers and discussion sessions related to obstacles, challenges, and opportunities to get graduated on time.

The Doctoral Program in Economics Study (PDIE), Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta, invited Dr. Wing Wahyu Winarno, MAFIS, CA, Akuntan, to discuss a special topic in a Seminar entitled Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Based Research. The agenda was conducted at Konimex Hall FEB UNS, Friday 5 May 2023, and was attended by PDIE students.

In his material presentation, Dr. Wing showcased several AI-based applications to assist students in completing their scientific writing process. According to him, in the present, AI has not been able to be implemented in academic and scientific writing. This is because considerable human interventions are still needed. AI is only a tool, thus, it can be applied to assist humans in conducting both good and bad activities. “AI has excellent features, however, it cannot defeat real intelligence,” he revealed.

The following are recommended AI utilities to help students to write a scientific article based on each research stage:
Finding topics: Google Scholar, scopus.com, seforra.com, ChatGPT, DeepAI
Collecting article for literature review: Researcher-app, Publish or Perish, Sci-hub, SEforRA.com, sciencedirect.com
Finding research gap: Connected Papers, Litmaps, Open Knowledge Maps, Research Rabbit, VOSviewer
Reviewing articles: ChatPDF, ChatGPT, Lateral, Elicit, wordtune.com
Finding reference: connectedpapers.org, Scite
Managing references: EndNote, Mendeley, Zotero, References (Word)

Testing similarity/citation: Turnitin, Plagiarism Checker, paraphrasetools.com
Publication to Sinta/Scopus: https://sinta.kemdikbud.go.id/journals, scopus.com, Journal Finder
He states that those applications are useful for students and lecturers who are about to conduct research and write a scientific article based on the research, in a more effective and efficient manner.

“Thus, there is no more reason to spend much time in completing your thesis, dissertation, or research report, because now we have been assisted by advanced technology, it is up to the individual whether they are willing to use it or not,” he explains.

In front of the students, Dr. Wing also demonstrates how to use the applications. Dr. Wing also started a discussion, allowing students to understand the material and letting them to skillfully apply the knowledge to their thesis writing.
