Abstract

The study's aim was to pinpoint the variables that went into choosing Manado's shopping centers. Two hundred and ten respondents answered a self-made questionnaire  to determine the factors influencing the choice of shopping mall, a survey and an in-depth interview were both done. The result of the in-depth interviews yielded 31 factors, which were utilized to generate a 29-item questionnaire. Using exploratory factor analysis and primary factor extraction, four factors clustered the 29 items.  Facilities, design and product, location, and channels are four factors that emerge as the contributing factors in choice of shopping centers. Facilities have the highest variance, whereas channels have the lowest variance, which helps to explain the selection of shopping malls. There is no significant relationship between gender and selection of retail centers. The results of the study will aid shopping center owners and retail marketers in understanding why people choose to shop at malls. They can develop their plans for shopping malls based on these pillars

Abstract

In line with current developments, especially advances in technology that are increasingly advancing, it facilitates all community activities in buying and selling goods, with the existence of e-commerce now people no longer need to go directly to the store to make these transactions. One of the e-commerce applications that are widely used today is a platform for shopping on the internet called Shopee which is easy to use. This study aims to see what factors are included in the form of acceptance by users of e-commerce applications, especially at Shopee, using Davis' (1989) Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) methodology. In this study, the analysis was conducted on 220 respondents who often or have used the Shopee application using the SEM PLS data analysis tool and a quantitative approach with the SmartPLS application. The results demonstrate the pathway through which users' attitudes toward usage are shaped by their perceptions of usefulness and ease of use, subsequently influencing their behavioral intentions, and ultimately impacting their actual usage behavior on the e-commerce application, namely Shopee. This study comprehensively elucidates the interrelationship among each Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) variable examined. Overall, the application of TAM in investigating the use of Shopee is validated through the findings of this study

Abstract

Pengintegrasian manajemen pembelajaran dengan teknologi digital menjadi fokus penting dalam pengembangan pendidikan di era digital. Namun, penelitian yang secara langsung menghubungkan kedua domain ini masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis tren penelitian terkait manajemen pembelajaran digital dalam konteks pendidikan untuk memahami keragaman fokus dan integrasi antara kedua domain tersebut. Pendekatan bibliometrik digunakan untuk menganalisis klaster dan tren dalam literatur terkait. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa meskipun manajemen pembelajaran menjadi fokus utama, penelitian yang secara langsung menggabungkan manajemen pembelajaran dengan pembelajaran digital masih minim. Hal ini menunjukkan perlunya peningkatan kesadaran dan penelitian yang lebih aktif dalam mengintegrasikan konsep ini. Sebagai rekomendasi, para peneliti dan praktisi pendidikan perlu memperkaya wawasan dalam bidang ini untuk mengembangkan strategi pembelajaran yang inovatif dan adaptif. Kesimpulannya, integrasi antara manajemen pembelajaran dan pembelajaran digital menjadi kunci untuk meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan di era digital.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of product quality, price, and promotional activities on the choices made while purchasing a market leading, non-subsidized NPK fertilizer brand in Indonesia. There is less study on agricultural marketing before this research. The study specifically looks at how purchase interest plays a role in mediating these factors. A total of 231 customers participated in an online survey, and the data obtained were evaluated using the SmartPLS software. The results indicate that the quality and price of a product have a substantial impact on the level of interest in making a purchase, which subsequently has a considerable influence on the final choice to make the buy. Curiously, there is a direct relationship between pricing and the level of interest in making a purchase. This emphasizes that this market leading NPK fertilizer brand is perceived as a product of great worth by the buyer. However, promotional activities have a minimal impact on the choice to purchase and only a weak connection with the level of interest in buying. The findings highlight the significance of purchase interest as a crucial element in the consumer's journey towards making a purchase, surpassing the impact of promotional tactics employed by leading fertilizer brands in the market. The study offers significant insights for manufacturers and policymakers in Indonesia, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing product quality and pricing strategies to improve customer interest and stimulate purchasing decisions.

Abstract

This study examines the relationships between product quality, service quality, customer satisfaction, and brand loyalty within the context of e-commerce, with a specific focus on Shopee, a leading e-commerce platform in Southeast Asia. Using a cross-sectional survey design, the research examines the impact of two exogenous variables—product quality and service quality—on customer satisfaction, as well as the mediating role of customer satisfaction in influencing brand loyalty. The research was conducted with 220 respondents and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS. The findings reveal that both product quality and service quality significantly influence customer satisfaction. However, service quality alone does not have a direct effect on brand loyalty. Importantly, customer satisfaction plays a critical mediating role, especially between service quality and brand loyalty. These results highlight the importance of enhancing customer satisfaction to foster brand loyalty, offering valuable insights for businesses seeking to improve their service offerings and strengthen customer loyalty. The study suggests that companies should prioritize customer satisfaction as a key mediator in their service and quality strategies.
