Abstract

This study examines the strategic mechanisms for building competitive advantage in higher education institutions through a holistic approach that includes institutional positioning, communication channels, and value perception formation at the Universitas Muslim Nusantara Al-Washliyah. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Square (PLS) method, the study involved 361 respondents from various stakeholder groups. The results show that institutional positioning (coefficient 0.372) and communication channels (coefficient 0.411) have a significant impact on value perception formation. These two variables directly influence the university's competitiveness, with contributions of 0.287 and 0.245, respectively. Additionally, value perception proved to play a strong mediating role with an influence coefficient of 0.386. These findings emphasize the importance of an integrated and comprehensive marketing strategy in facing the contemporary higher education competition, highlighting institutional differentiation, responsive communication, and the creation of a positive value perception. This study provides both theoretical contributions and practical implications for higher education managers to improve their competitive position in the education market.

The sample used in this study were consumers who were consuming Etawa Mulia Jaya Goat's Milk products with a total of 87 consumers who were taken for 3 months. The results of the study using the t-test (partial) showed that Word Of Mouth Communication had a significant effect on Purchase Decisions with a tcount value of 4.051 > ttable 1.988 and a significant level of 0.000 <0.05 and that Place had a significant effect on Purchase Decisions with a tcount value of 3.455. > ttable 1.988 with a significant level of 0.001 <0.05. The results of the study using the F (simultaneous) test showed that Word Of Mouth and Place Communication simultaneously had a significant effect on Purchase Decisions with an Fcount of 42.856 > Ftable 3.11 with a significant level of 0.000 <0.05. Based on calculations using the coefficient of determination, the Adjusted R Square value of 0.493 shows that around 49.3% of the Purchase Decision variables can be explained by the Word Of Mouth and Place Communication variables.
