Bendega is one of the cultural heritage of Balinese ancestors is a social organization whose existence has begun to decrease. This existence is closely related to their rights and obligations as part of the main community members in the coastal areas of Bali. This study aims to determine the rights and obligations of fishermen based on applicable regulations and to find out whether these rights and obligations have gone in harmony. This study used the normative-empirical legal research method. Normatively, this study is done through literature studies and empirically conducted by distributing random questionnaires to several fishermen in Bali. Based on the analysis, the results of this study showed that some fishermen have never read Local Government Regulations of Bali Number 11 year 2017 about Bendega. Some of them feel the right to catch fish is a result of business activities in other sectors. The effectiveness of legislation has not been running optimally. The community, especially the fishermen, need re-socialization related to their knowledge of Local Government Regulations of Bali Number 11 year 2017 about Bendega, so that they can find out more about their rights and obligations as Bendega.

The use of housing for income generation through informal-sector activities is widespread in urban areas of developing countries. Most households consider their shelter needs when making housing choices. For households that use their dwellings for income generation, housing choices are also business decisions. Using data from a 596-household survey collected in 1996 in Kumasi, Ghana, logistic regression is used to examine the determinants of intraurban moves. Households using their home for income generation are significantly less likely to move.

This study examined non-traditional undergraduate student's perception of accounting in an introductory
accounting course at five campuses of a Christian university in the southeast region of the U. S. The
consensuses of the student's perceptions were positive over the perceptional items measured. However,
three of the items FORWARD(I am looking forward this course), DIFFICULT (This course will be difficult),
and INSTRUCTOR (The instructor will affect my opinion of the usefulness of this course) indicated a change
between the groups. In the pre-survey response, non-traditional students perceived FORWARD and
INSTRUCTOR higher than traditional students while both groups have an almost identical mean response
for DIFFICULT. However, at end of the semester (post-survey) traditional students now perceived both
FORWARD and INSTRUCTOR higher while non-traditional students now perceived the course to be more
difficult.
The findings in this study support the ideas and premise that non-traditional students are quite different
from traditional students, not just because of the obvious age differences but also because of the differences
in job, related experiences, and their needs as relate to educational institutions.

In order to provide a better understanding of export financing in Ghana this exploratory study was undertaken on a sample of non‐traditional exporting firms and selected banks. The focus is on export financing in Ghana. Ghanaian exporters hardly obtain finance for export operations. Interest rates are high, and financial institutions prefer granting short‐term credit to medium or long‐term credit, and investing in government treasury bills and bonds rather than lending to small and medium‐sized firms. Small and medium‐sale exporters hardly meet the requirements of banks to access credit, especially collateral. Default on loans has been high. Exporters need to be more responsible in funds utilization, just as the financial institutions have to be more exporter‐friendly to ensure the success of the national export‐led growth strategy. The recent (2000) Export Development and Investment Act is likely to provide greater access to export finance for exporting firms.

The phenomena of modern retail development is growing rapidly in Indonesia. This condition worries traditional retailers. The aim of this research is to explore some potential problems by traditional business people in Sidoarjo, East Java. Data collection technique is using observation, and interviews with informans, namely retail traditional customers. Data analysis is using descriptive qualitative. Findings show that traditional retailers still have some potentials to develop as they have some competitive advantages such as bargaining when shopping as this is a culture and also Indonesian's customer behaviour, closed-relationship between seller and customer and customer's perception toward the price of traditional retailers which is relatively cheaper. The internal model development for traditional retailers must be flexible and always be improved by always adapting the shift of buyers. Externally, the local government must be involved in improving traditional markets in general.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the shortcomings of traditional business continuity principles. As much of the novel response to COVID-19 involved a curtailment or cessation of in-person commercial activity, businesses and communities were at unprecedented financial risk. Traditional methods of ensuring business continuity were likely insufficient; thus, an improved understanding of business continuity through disaster is needed for both business and community well-being. Canonically, academic studies examining business survival post-disaster have emphasized vulnerability characteristics and focused on factors outside the businesses' locus of control. Recently, studies have found that business survival is related to features of self-efficacy that are not easily developed through succinct templates: creativity, flexibility, and improvisation. By critically examining ninety-three publicly available business continuity guides in a content analysis approach, we point to the need for further research on business preparedness as the building of self-efficacy and the effectiveness of converting these scientific findings into useful formats for business operators.

The purpose of this research is to understand how current marketing research conceptualises natural and traditional products – products that strongly attract consumer attention and capture large and growing market shares yet remain vague and weakly defined by a regulatory framework. The analysis is conducted on systematically selected research articles published in relevant journals over the past two decades. The results show that the natural products are mostly defined by the way they are produced and the ingredients they do not contain, while no consensus was reached for the traditional products. Furthermore, not only is the concept of traditional defined by an unusually large number of themes, but the themes also vary considerably depending on stakeholder group from which they originate, indicating an inevitable communication problem between these groups. The results also show that despite attempts by marketers to link the meanings of the two types of products, the themes in the definitions of natural and traditional products are different and overlap only sporadically. These findings serve as a step toward creating better academic conceptualizations and a more specific regulatory framework for natural and traditional products that will reduce the likelihood of misleading business practises and confusion among consumers and researchers.

Nowadays, traditional market is increasingly squeezed by the emergence of modern market that develops rapidly. The dominance shift in national retail is apparent when globalization can no longer be contained, let alone be banned. Middle class and small class (traditional market) business retail seem to be in increasingly difficult condition to compete with upscale retail business (modern market). The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors influencing the competitiveness of traditional market and to develop policies to improve the competitiveness of traditional market. This study utilizes research strategy of case study in Bandung City, Serang City, and Surabaya City with qualitative descriptive approach. The study shows that the factors inhibiting the competitiveness of traditional market with modern stores are (1) Traditional market's bad image, and (2) Traditional market's sellers and managers are unprofessional. To improve the competitiveness of traditional market, this study recommends: (1) routine and regular maintenance of buildings and infrastructure of traditional market, (2) professionalism improvement of traditional market's sellers and managers, and (3) the partiality of local government in traditional markets.
