Abstract

The phenomenon of heightened competition in the tourism industry, particularly in West Java, underscores the necessity for star-rated hotels to enhance their competitive advantages. This study aims to investigate the interrelationships among market orientation, human capital, service quality, and competitive advantage within the hospitality sector. Using a quantitative approach, survey research design, and explanatory research objectives, involving hotel guests in West Java. A total of 325 participants were surveyed, yielding 316 valid responses for analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings indicate that both effective market orientation and quality human capital significantly influence service quality in the hotel industry, both independently and collectively. Moreover, the study demonstrates that market orientation and human capital exert their maximum impact on competitive advantage through improvements in service quality. These insights contribute to theoretical understanding and practical applications in the hospitality sector, emphasizing the need for hotel management to prioritize the development of market orientation and human capital to optimize service quality and, ultimately, competitive advantage. Recommendations include implementing targeted training programs for staff and adopting strategies that align with customer expectations to foster sustained growth and competitiveness in the industry. By addressing these factors, star-rated hotels in West Java can better position themselves in an increasingly competitive landscape.

Abstract

The Bandung City Government (TBCG) strives to maintain price stability and ensure the availability of essential commodities. However, the characteristics of trade and distribution in Bandung remain insufficiently identified, limiting effective policymaking. This study explores these characteristics to support policy formulation for price stability and supply availability. Using a qualitative approach, the research involved surveys of 11 large-scale and 125 small-scale retailers, documentation studies, interviews, observations, and focus group discussions (FGDs). Data analysis included transcription, coding, and characteristic description. The findings highlight that four key products: rice, sugar, flour, and cooking oil, require particular attention for supply stability and price control. Stable prices are achieved through cooperation between producers, traders, consumers, and TBCG, which actively monitors the availability of affordable goods. TBCG also shows a strong commitment to protecting the public and traders from price fluctuations, especially during harvest and off-season periods. This study contributes valuable insights into Bandung’s commodity trade dynamics, offering guidance for policymakers to strengthen regulations that ensure the sustainability of supply chains and price stability. Recommendations include enhancing monitoring systems, improving collaboration among stakeholders, and introducing adaptive regulations to address seasonal fluctuations and safeguard long-term food security.
