This research was conducted to analyze the improvement in the transparency and accountability mechanism for the management of drought disaster relief funds in the cultural aspect. This research was conducted in the Yogyakarta Special Region Fast Response Foundation (ACT DIY) which is engaged in the management of disaster aid funds. The research method used was a qualitative method with primary data by interviews, and secondary data in the form of documents obtained through the official website of ACT, social media, and supporting documents directly requested from the source. The data analysis techniques employed were three stages of coding; initial coding, axial coding, and selective coding, and continued by constructing analytical maps, matrix coding queries, and framework matrices. In order to manage, integrate, test, and search for patterns and more detailed relationships, NVivo 11 software was employed for assistance. The results demonstrate that understanding community culture is a complementary value in improving the transparency and accountability of a foundation which can be a new strategy in improving transparency and accountability in similar foundations and especially the Yogyakarta Special Region's ACT. Similar research by extending community culture through different cultural theories can also be an opportunity for future research to improve transparency and accountability in managing disaster relief funds.

Qualitative interviews held with competition organizers, participants and innovation intermediaries (Innocentive, Nine Sigma, Skild) provided the primary data. Secondary data came from literature survey and the study of archival documents and competition websites. The study was conducted as a part of doctoral research. Findings Crowdsourcing competitions can help organizations to discover innovative solutions by tapping the power of collective intelligence. However, they need to envision and execute these collaborative initiatives strategically and synergistically. Proper design, managerial buy-in and orchestrated efforts by the triumvirate ‘Seekers, solvers and supporters’ are critical to derive the desired outcomes. Research limitations/implications These findings are the resultant outcomes of an exploratory research. Further investigation can help companies to identify the relative importance of the critical elements identified in the study. Future research on the best practices can amplify the prospects of finding innovative solutions through crowdsourcing competitions. Practical implications Crowdsourcing competitions cannot be used impulsively and indiscriminately. Managers have to carefully align the motive and incentive of different actors. Attention to design and the critical factors identified in the study can enhance the prospects of getting qualitative and innovative submissions from the crowd. Social implications Crowdsourcing competitions have great potential to find innovative solutions for many stubborn global problems. When designed and driven rightly, it can expand the solution mix and accelerate the discovery process. Originality/value The paper highlights the need to converge the efforts for diverse stakeholder in crowdsourcing competitions. There are actionable insights for managers in form of 7 Ps- Purpose, Problem, Prize, Platform, Promotion and Partners. When aligned effectively, it can yield innovation dividends to all. By focusing on these vital factors, companies can fine-tune their crowdsourcing strategy and make the initiative more engaging and create value for all the actors.

In the tax office, especially in achieving tax revenue targets, the budgetary slack practice plays an important role in increasing the tax revenue target. The performance of tax office is not effective to achieve the tax target and improve the revenue in Indonesian taxation system. The purpose of this study is to investigate the existence of budgetary slack in the context of Indonesian taxation and to find a correlation between budgetary slack and tax revenue. Even though it is rarely done, this study is also expected to be able to describe the existing budgetary slack and its role to motivate the realization of optimal tax revenues. The design of this study is quantitative through questionnaire from tax offices and civil servants from various tax offices and corresponding analysis of their respondents. The results of this study show that there is a significant negative effect of budgetary slack on tax revenues. The more budgetary slack practice occurs, the more it reduces the growth of tax revenue. This study concluded that all stakeholders in taxation use budgetary slack for motivation and control purposes and the tax authority must improve tax planning, estimates and predictions. Thus, tax offices must continue to increase their tax capacity regarding regulations, organization and governance, and human resources. The future research must include other variables besides budgetary slack that have the potential to affect tax revenues in Indonesia and must develop secondary data-based proxies to measure variables that affect tax revenues to anticipate difficulties in collecting primary data.
