HR is also the key that determines the development of the company. In essence, HR is in the form of humans employed in an organization as movers, thinkers and planners to achieve the goals of the organization. In fact, the role of HR seems to be forgotten because in general the company / organization is still oriented towards the end result, the final achievement for the organization is profit as a company goal. So it can be concluded that the concept of “competitive advantage” has not become the orientation of thinking of the leaders of organizations and companies, while it should be competitive advantage that becomes the company's achievement, while profit is the result of excellence. In Indonesia, quite a lot of companies were built and indeed mastered certain businesses and triumphed for a generation, but in the end it did not last long because the regeneration of human resources was not prepared from the beginning to maintain excellence in a sustainable manner. This research aims to find out how the strategy, role and training and development of HR in a company so that it can compete with other companies.</p> 2025-01-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Novia Egi Falerian, Eloh Bahiroh https://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/marcopolo/article/view/12161 Domestic Tourists' Perceptions of Kelan Beach Attributes, Badung - Bali 2025-02-27T21:41:03+00:00 Ni Kadek Widya Wijayaningtyas widyawijayaningtyas@gmail.com Luh Nyoman Tri Lilasari trililasari114@gmail.com Anom Hery Suasapha anom_hs@ppb.ac.id <p>This study aims to evaluate domestic tourists' perceptions of the quality of Kelan Beach attributes and to group these attributes.

In general, sweet soy sauce is made from selected soybeans processed by fermentation. In fact, Indonesia is rich in various types of grains other than soybeans that can be used as an alternative to making sweet soy sauce. Many Indonesians still do not know the alternative ingredients for making sweet soy sauce. To overcome this problem, it is necessary to have an alternative in making sweet soy sauce with high nutritional value or at least have the same quality as soybeans. Seeds from the turi plant can be used as an alternative raw material in making sweet soy sauce because turi seeds have a nutritional content composition that is not much different from soybeans and the utilization of turi seeds in Indonesia has not been maximized. The methods used to obtain the data and information needed in this study are experimental tests, documentation, and organoleptic tests supported by components such as questionnaires, panelist tests, and Likert scales. This study used fairly trained panelists. The results obtained from the organoleptic test, namely in terms of taste, texture, aroma, and color, have very good interpretation criteria.</p> 2025-01-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 I Ketut Gede Adi Surita, I Gede Adi Sistha Winata https://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/marcopolo/article/view/12175 Organoleptic Test of Layer Cake with Durian Seed Flour 2025-02-27T19:33:39+00:00 Kadek Deviani Wulandari kdevianiw04@gmail.com Made Hendrayana kdevianiw04@gmail.com I Nyoman Sunada kdevianiw04@gmail.com AA Gd KP Dalem kdevianiw04@gmail.com <p>In this study, durian seed flour was processed into layer cake so that it changed the final result of the layer cake in terms of color, aroma, taste and texture.

The implementation of the E-Billing system is expected to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of tax payments, as well as reduce the error rate in tax reporting. However, the level of success of this system is very dependent on the taxpayer's level of understanding of internet technology. The research method uses quantitative methods with a survey approach. The sample in this study consisted of individual taxpayers registered at KPP Pratama Yogyakarta. Data was collected via questionnaire to 70 respondents selected using the purposive sampling method. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression and the Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) test to determine understanding of internet technology as a moderating variable. The research results show that the implementation of the E-Billing system has a positive and significant effect on the level of taxpayer compliance. In addition, understanding internet technology has been proven to strengthen the relationship between the implementation of the E-Billing system and taxpayer compliance. This research contributes to the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) in improving strategies for implementing digital-based taxation systems and as a reference for taxpayers in increasing their understanding of technology to maximize the use of the E-Billing system.</p> 2025-01-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Erlina Herowati, A Hilda Syahrani https://journal.formosapublisher.org/index.php/marcopolo/article/view/12173 Organoleptic Test of Durian Seed-Based Salak Seed Kolak 2025-02-27T19:15:43+00:00 I Putu Arya Getas Kusuma Jaya putuaryagetas03@gmail.com Nina Indra Kristiana putuaryagetas03@gmail.com <p>This study aims to determine the quality of durian seed-based salak kolak by boiling and mashing it.
