Abstract:

General Background: The management of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) is an important strategy in driving the rural economy in Indonesia, but its sustainability often faces managerial and institutional challenges. Specific Background: In Benua Baru Village, the BUMDes “Maju Bersama” manages business units such as a night market, cassava chips, and livestock feed corn, which contribute to increasing village income but are hindered by communication and coordination problems following a change in management. Knowledge Gap: Empirical research that thoroughly examines BUMDes management based on management function theory, particularly the supporting and inhibiting factors at the village level, remains limited. Aims: This study analyzes the management of BUMDes “Maju Bersama” using Luther Gulick’s framework (POSDCoRB) and identifies factors influencing business sustainability. Results: The findings show that business management has aligned with the village’s potential and provided a positive impact on the local economy (2018–2022), but has experienced stagnation since 2023 due to weak communication and planning. Novelty: This study presents a village-level analysis integrating management theory with local leadership dynamics. Implications: The results highlight the importance of continuous coordination, communication, and managerial capacity to ensure the sustainability of BUMDes as a driver of the rural economy.


Highlights:



  • The sustainability of BUMDes greatly depends on communication and coordination after a change in leadership.

  • The application of Luther Gulick’s management function theory is effective in revealing supporting and inhibiting factors.

  • Aligning business activities with the village’s potential and needs is the key to local economic success.
