m, highlighting how service processes contribute to value creation beyond the artistic aspect. Cultural tourism has shifted from an object-based orientation to an experiential one, understanding performing arts not merely as a creative product but as an experience constructed through interactions between service providers and consumers. In this context, service becomes an integral part of the value creation process and audience satisfaction. This research uses a qualitative approach with a single case study method at PT Mata Hati Kitapoleng, a performing arts company in Bali. Data collection was conducted through in-depth semi-structured interviews and non-participatory observation. This research focuses on how service creativity is built through organizational processes, interactions, and practices. The results show that service creativity is formed through a structured yet flexible process, which integrates empathy for consumers, team collaboration, idea exploration, and continuous evaluation. The design thinking approach enables companies to deeply understand consumer needs and translate them into personalized and meaningful experiences. Service in this context is understood as a co-creative process, where consumers play an active role in shaping the final outcome. Furthermore, consumer satisfaction is influenced by various factors, such as trust, production and financial efficiency, innovation capacity, and evaluation and feedback mechanisms. This research confirms that service creativity is a strategic element in enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of performing arts businesses within the cultural tourism ecosystem.

Golden Indonesia 2045 and the achievement of the SDGs. However, the main challenges lie in the limited insight of business administration, entrepreneurship education that has not been integrated with practice, and lack of access to government support. This research examines the role of business administration, entrepreneurship education, and government support in encouraging MSMEs in Pasuruan to upgrade. The research uses a qualitative method with a thematic analysis approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observations. Data triangulation was carried out to ensure the validity of the findings. The results show that most MSME actors do not understand the importance of business administration, such as the ownership of NIB and NPWP, which are the basic requirements for accessing government programs and market expansion. Although there is a gap between the theory obtained and the practice implementation in the field, entrepreneurship education shows a fairly good level. The results of this study can be a guide for entrepreneurship education providers to design applicable practice-based programs, as well as for the government in facilitating business administration and entrepreneurial assistance. This synergy is expected to encourage Pasuruan MSMEs to upgrade, contribute to Sustainable Development (SDGs), and support the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045.

Abstract:Integrasi sains dan Islam merupakan upaya menyatukan pengetahuan empiris dengan nilai-nilai wahyu dalam suatu kerangka keilmuan yang holistik dan tidak terfragmentasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan konsep dasar…
sar integrasi, istilah-istilah semakna, serta urgensi penerapannya dalam konteks keilmuan dan pendidikan Islam modern. Secara teoretis, integrasi dipahami sebagai proses penyelarasan dan perpaduan antara disiplin ilmu agar tercipta hubungan yang koheren dan saling melengkapi. Dalam perspektif Islam, integrasi menegaskan kembali prinsip unity of knowledge yang memandang bahwa seluruh ilmu berasal dari satu sumber kebenaran, yaitu Allah SWT. Pembahasan ini juga menyoroti urgensi integrasi dalam mengatasi dikotomi ilmu yang memisahkan antara sains dan agama, sekaligus menegaskan pentingnya nilai-nilai Islam sebagai pedoman etis dalam perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa integrasi sains dan Islam berperan penting dalam membangun paradigma pendidikan yang holistik, mendorong perkembangan sains yang beretika, serta memberikan arah spiritual dan moral bagi inovasi ilmiah. Dengan demikian, integrasi sains dan Islam tidak hanya memiliki landasan filosofis yang kuat, tetapi juga relevan dalam menjawab tantangan peradaban modern dan mewujudkan ilmu pengetahuan yang bermanfaat serta berorientasi pada kemaslahatan umat manusia.
