Abstract

In phenomena that varying levels of consumer satisfaction and dissatisfaction have made competition in the smartphone market increasingly intense. This competition can be seen in terms of price, innovation, and the smartphone products themselves. Several smartphone brands have emerged, each with its own advantages. Xiaomi smartphones, which have typically been a popular choice among the public, are now facing many competitors. As a result, a problem has arisen in which Xiaomi smartphones face numerous competitors with various strengths, meaning that Xiaomi smartphones are not always in a leading position. This research was conducted using a quantitative method. The primary data source was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires, with a sample of 98 respondents consisting of Xiaomi smartphone users from the Management Study Program, Faculty of Economics, University of Semarang. This study is also supported by secondary data, including classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, and the coefficient of determination (R²), using SPSS for Windows version 26 for data processing. The results of this study indicate that price does not have a significant effect on purchase decisions. Innovation and product quality have a significant effect on purchase decisions. Therefore, based on these factors, this study provides several recommendations for Xiaomi smartphone company management to improve innovation and product quality so that Xiaomi smartphones can better compete with other smartphone brands

Abstract

This community service program was implemented to address the low levels of motivation and participation among the residents of Cabean Village, Demak Regency, regarding the management of the "Ayo Kita Menabung" (Let's Save) Waste Bank. The challenges identified included low public awareness regarding waste sorting, limited capacity among program facilitators (cadres) to conduct outreach, and a suboptimal waste bank administrative system. The program aimed to enhance the capacity of these cadres—acting as program drivers—to motivate the community, boost resident participation, and strengthen the sustainable governance of the waste bank. A community empowerment approach was employed, utilizing methods such as observation, outreach, training, field practice, mentoring, and evaluation. The material covered 3R-based waste management (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle), persuasive communication, strategies to boost community motivation, waste bank administration, and practical outreach to residents. Evaluation was conducted through observation, interviews, group discussions, and questionnaires. The results demonstrated an improvement in the cadres' knowledge and skills regarding education, mentoring, and waste bank administration. Public awareness regarding the importance of waste management and its economic benefits also increased, evidenced by higher resident participation in waste deposits. Furthermore, the administrative system became more organized and transparent, thereby increasing community trust. The program successfully strengthened cadre capacity while supporting the sustainability of the community-empowerment-based waste bank management
