Abstract

This research explores the multifaceted decline in Pizza Hut Indonesia’s sales by distinguishing between consumer boycott motivations and other contributing market forces. A major factor identified is the rise of more affordable alternatives, notably street food vendors, which have attracted cost-conscious consumers and accounted for a significant 30% drop in sales. These vendors offer convenient and budget-friendly meals that align better with evolving consumer spending habits. Despite this, Pizza Hut has shown progress in product enhancement, reflected in a 31% increase in customer satisfaction—driven by menu innovations such as Indonesian-flavored and fusion-style pizzas tailored to diverse local palates. Nevertheless, brand trust has been undermined by health-related perceptions, with 32% of the negative impact attributed to concerns over the nutritional value of offerings. In response, the brand has introduced healthier options, including whole wheat crusts, fresh vegetables, and lean proteins, to regain the confidence of health-conscious customers. Importantly, consumer boycotts have been identified but exert only a minor influence, contributing just 5% to the sales decline. These boycotts stem from issues such as perceived service shortcomings or pricing dissatisfaction, yet have had limited financial repercussions due to counteractive strategies like targeted promotions, loyalty schemes, and improved service quality. Additionally, macroeconomic conditions have imposed a 2% impact, compelling Pizza Hut to adapt pricing strategies during periods of financial constraint, such as offering value deals to sustain customer interest. In conclusion, this study highlights the necessity of differentiating brand-related backlash from broader market shifts.

Abstract

In the era of the Internet, where consumers are perpetually connected and information about diverse products is readily accessible, the dynamics of the consumer purchase decision process have undergone a profound transformation. This shift is marked by an increased emphasis on information-seeking activities before the physical encounter with products on store shelves. Two pivotal concepts, the First Moment of Truth (FMoT) and the Zero Moment of Truth (ZMoT), have emerged to elucidate crucial junctures in this process. FMoT underscores the significance of the in-store experience and the initial seconds when consumers engage with brands on shelves. In contrast, ZMoT spotlights the online research phase preceding the purchase decision, encompassing the use of electronic Word of Mouth (e-WoM) to make informed choices. This paper delves into the theoretical underpinnings of the ZMoT concept, establishing connections with existing academic literature. Additionally, it draws on a prior study conducted in the US market as a reference point to explore the impact of the Zero Moment of Truth on consumer behavior in the context of Bengkalis Island. The research scrutinizes results across diverse demographic segments, offering valuable insights into the nuanced interplay between ZMoT and actual buying behavior. Ultimately, these findings are juxtaposed with those of previous research, enriching our understanding of the evolving landscape of consumer decision-making. Keywords: Zero Moment of Truth (ZMoT), buying decision process and impulse buying

Abstract

This study aims to assess and compare the digital readiness of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) located in the border regions of Bengkalis, Indonesia, and Muar, Malaysia, as they confront the accelerating demands of Industry 4.0. The objectives are to identify the level of technological adoption, evaluate the enabling and inhibiting factors for digital transformation, and determine the role of local ecosystems in supporting SME digitalization in these two geographically connected but administratively distinct areas. Despite growing interest in digital economy initiatives across Southeast Asia, border-area SMEs remain under-researched, especially in terms of their preparedness for digital competition and cross-border market integration. A quantitative comparative approach was employed using structured questionnaires distributed to 100 SMEs, equally divided between Bengkalis and Muar. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, and correlation analyses to highlight readiness gaps and similarities across key dimensions such as infrastructure, skills, organizational strategy, and external support systems. This research is significant for policymakers, development agencies, and academic communities interested in narrowing the digital divide and strengthening cross-border SME ecosystems. The findings are expected to contribute to the formulation of targeted interventions, particularly through Penta-helix collaboration involving government, academia, private sector, media, and communities, to boost SME competitiveness and sustainability in border regions. The study underscores the need for localized digital strategies that recognize socio-economic and cultural differences across national boundaries.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in digital marketing has transformed how businesses communicate with consumers and build brand engagement. However, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in peripheral regions such as Bengkalis Island still face challenges in adopting advanced digital marketing tools due to limited technological literacy, marketing capabilities, and access to digital resources. This study explores the role of generative AI in enhancing digital marketing strategies to strengthen brand communication and consumer engagement among local businesses in Bengkalis Island. The importance of this topic lies in the growing need for SMEs in remote and island regions to remain competitive in the digital economy while adapting to emerging AI-driven marketing technologies. Using a mixed-method approach within a community service framework, the study involved digital marketing training, generative AI workshops, and mentoring sessions for local entrepreneurs. Data were collected through surveys, interviews, and observational evaluation of participants’ digital marketing practices before and after the program. The findings indicate that the integration of generative AI tools significantly improved participants’ ability to produce marketing content, enhance brand storytelling, and increase online consumer interaction. These results highlight the potential of generative AI as a practical and scalable solution for strengthening digital marketing capabilities in geographically peripheral communities

Abstract

This study examines the influence of entrepreneurship education, family environment, and peer influence on entrepreneurial readiness through entrepreneurial motivation in the context of higher education. The study was motivated by the growing importance of entrepreneurial readiness as an alternative pathway to address employment challenges and promote self-employment among graduates. A quantitative approach with a descriptive explanatory design was employed to analyze the relationships among variables. Data were collected from 100 respondents through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using path analysis to test both direct and indirect effects. The findings indicate that entrepreneurship education has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial motivation, which subsequently contributes significantly to entrepreneurial readiness. In contrast, family environment and peer influence do not show significant direct effects on entrepreneurial readiness through entrepreneurial motivation. These results suggest that formal entrepreneurship learning plays a more decisive role in shaping motivation and readiness for entrepreneurship than external social environments. The study highlights the need to strengthen entrepreneurship-oriented learning through practical content, motivational support, and applied business experiences that can improve students’ readiness to engage in entrepreneurial activities. The findings also imply that entrepreneurship education should not only focus on theoretical understanding but also emphasize business management, marketing capability, and decision-making skills.
