Abstract

This study explores marketing management strategies employed by buffalo livestock traders at the Bolu-Rantepao Animal Market, North Toraja, in addressing extreme price volatility shaped by cultural and seasonal factors. Responding to a significant research gap in marketing practices within culturally embedded traditional markets, this study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach using case study methodology. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis with four purposively selected informants operating in high-volume buffalo trade. Analysis reveals that successful traders implement integrated marketing systems comprising five key components: market intelligence for predictive planning, product portfolio management through quality and segment differentiation, dynamic value-based pricing strategies, multi-channel distribution optimization, and customer relationship management (CRM) for loyalty and premium pricing leverage. These strategies enable traders to navigate volatile market dynamics, especially during ceremonial demand spikes such as the Rambu Solo. The findings highlight that adaptive execution, systematic planning, customer orientation, and feedback-driven improvements are central to marketing success. This study contributes to marketing theory by contextualizing modern management principles in traditional commodity markets and offers practical insights for strategic development in rural livestock economies. It also suggests digital adoption and CRM systems as key leverage points for future competitiveness in similarly structured markets across developing countries.

Abstract

Village development is essential for enhancing community welfare and fostering economic independence in rural areas, yet many village-owned enterprises face operational challenges that hinder their sustainability. This study aims to analyze the development strategy of the Lembang-Owned Enterprise Maju Bersama in Lembang Sa’dan Ulusalu, Sa’dan District, North Toraja Regency, to support sustainable rural growth. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, utilizing interviews, direct observations and document analysis. The findings reveal that the Lembang-Owned Enterprise benefits from a strong legal foundation and addresses community needs through its kiosk operations. However, weaknesses such as limited managerial skills, poor inventory management, and uncirculated capital due to unpaid loans impede progress. Opportunities include supportive government regulations and the region’s agricultural potential, while threats encompass low community participation and competition from external vendors. The study concludes that a Weakness-Opportunity strategy, focusing on capacity building and leveraging local resources, is critical for enhancing the enterprise’s performance. This research provides practical recommendations for improving managerial skills, community engagement, and partnerships to ensure the sustainability of village-owned enterprises in similar rural contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to identify and describe the factors contributing to the decline in the distribution of Kredit Cepat Aman (KCA) at PT Pegadaian (Persero), Pasar Pagi Service Unit, during the period of January 2022 to December 2024. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach, involving purposively selected informants consisting of the unit manager, appraisers, and customers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and documentation analysis (KCA realization data from 2022 to 2024). The data were analyzed using thematic analysis through the stages of data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification/triangulation. The results indicate that the decline in KCA distribution is influenced by internal factors including interest rate (service fee) policies, collateral appraisal standards, credit provision procedures, non-performing loan ratios, service quality, and marketing activities as well as external factors such as competition among financial institutions, fluctuations in collateral prices, product availability, and local economic conditions affecting community purchasing power. These findings suggest the need for improvements in collateral appraisal procedures, enhancements in service quality and localized marketing strategies, and adjustments to interest rate policies that are responsive to local economic dynamics in order to restore and increase KCA distribution performance.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the process of purchasing decisions and buffalo price determination in the Bolu Animal Market, Toraja Utara, through the perspective of Economic Sociology Research Design and Methodology: The research aims to analyze how economic practices in the traditional livestock market are embedded within social relations, cultural values, and local power structures. This study employed a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with traders, buyers, and traditional leaders, as well as supporting documentation. The data were analyzed thematically using the concepts of social embeddedness proposed by Mark Granovetter, moral economy by Karl Polanyi, and social and symbolic capital by Pierre Bourdieu. Findings and Discussion: The findings reveal that purchasing decisions and buffalo price formation are not solely determined by economic rationality or market mechanisms. Instead, these processes are strongly influenced by symbolic values, family prestige, social legitimacy, and customary obligations within Torajan culture. Buffalo characteristics, such as physical appearance, gender, and symbolic markings, interact with social status and actor networks in shaping market transactions. These findings imply that traditional markets should be understood as socio-cultural institutions embedded in local social structures. Implications: The study also highlights the importance of economic sociology perspectives in explaining the dynamics of traditional markets and recommends further research on the transformation of indigenous markets in the context of modernization and commercialization.
