Abstract

The coffee shop industry in Indonesia has experienced rapid growth in recent years, with coffee becoming a staple beverage among diverse consumer groups. Monolog Coffee, located in Lahat Regency, represents a modern coffee shop that adopts both online and offline sales models. This research aims to analyze the influence of price and product quality on purchasing decisions, with brand image as an intervening variable. Using a quantitative approach and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method, this study surveyed 100 Monolog Coffee consumers through questionnaires. The results reveal that price and product quality significantly affect brand image. Furthermore, price has a significant impact on purchasing decisions, while product quality does not show a direct influence on purchase decisions. Notably, brand image significantly mediates the relationship between the independent variables and purchasing decisions. These findings suggest that Monolog Coffee’s efforts to enhance its brand image through pricing strategy and product quality are effective in shaping customer behavior. The implication of this research is that small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the coffee industry should prioritize building a strong brand image as a strategic mediator to drive consumer loyalty and purchasing decisions. Future studies are encouraged to explore additional mediators such as customer satisfaction or digital engagement to deepen the understanding of consumer behavior in the coffee shop sector.

Abstract

Global changes in the modern industrial era encourage the importance of environmental sustainability, triggering the popularity of green marketing as a key strategy for companies to advertise sustainable goods. In this dynamic, the level of consumer knowledge and purchasing power also are essential in influencing consumer preferences and choices regarding sustainable products. This study aims to understand the influence of green marketing, consumer knowledge, and purchasing power on environmental attitude in Indonesia, particularly in the Southern Sumatra region. The gathered data of 118 participants were examined through the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) method to evaluate the proposed hypotheses. The findings revealed that green marketing and purchasing power exert a direct and significant impact on environmental attitude, suggesting that marketing efforts and financial capability play a key role in shaping consumer perceptions of sustainability. In contrast, consumer knowledge does not have a significant direct effect on environmental attitude, indicating that awareness alone may not be sufficient to drive environmentally responsible behavior. These findings contribute to the understanding of factors influencing consumers' environmental attitudes, provide strategic direction for companies aiming to enhance green product adoption, and stimulate further discussion on sustainability practices in Southern Sumatra.

Abstract

Indonesia's economic growth has been significantly driven by women entrepreneurs in SMEs, which are vital for job creation and income generation. However, these enterprises face challenges in scaling and sustainability, influenced by social, environmental, economic, and governance factors. This study explores the mediating role of local wisdom in village environmental governance for the financial sustainability of women-led SMEs in South Sumatera, using the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) framework. A survey-based approach collected data from women entrepreneurs in formal and informal sectors, analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with Smart-PLS software. Findings reveal that local wisdom positively impacts financial sustainability through environmental governance, reinforcing the TBL’s emphasis on economic, social, and environmental balance. The study underscores the role of women entrepreneurs in fostering sustainable business practices and contributes to green entrepreneurship literature, calling for further research on sustainability-driven entrepreneurship in Indonesia.

Abstract

The research addressed a gap in the literature by examining how market orientation and competitive environment jointly influenced value creation and marketing performance in private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), a relationship that remained underexplored, particularly in emerging economies during the COVID-19 recovery period. While previous studies had examined market orientation or competitive factors in isolation, few had integrated these constructs with the mediating role of value creation in the context of service marketing for HEIs. Data were collected through purposive sampling from 225 students enrolled in private universities in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia, between July and September 2023. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression was employed due to the observed variables, relatively small sample size, and the need for a parsimonious model estimation. The findings show that the competitive environment significantly enhances value creation, whereas market orientation does not significantly affect value creation. Market orientation has a direct positive impact on marketing performance, while the competitive environment exerts a negative influence. Moreover, value creation partially mediates the relationship between competitive environment and marketing performance, but not between market orientation and marketing performance. These results highlight the strategic role of value creation in navigating environmental challenges and sustaining marketing effectiveness. The research contributes to the literature by integrating competitive environment into the market orientation–performance framework in the under-researched context of Indonesian private HEIs. It also offers practical implications for institutional leaders to align their strategic orientation with value-driven initiatives to enhance competitiveness.
