Abstract

This research examines online business management strategies through e-commerce platforms at MR. Keramik Store in Pasuruan, East Java. The study employs a qualitative case study methodology with data collection through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation analysis conducted in October 2024. Findings reveal that MR. Keramik successfully implements a multi-platform strategy utilizing Shopee as the primary marketplace (contributing 50-55% of online sales), Instagram for visual merchandising and community building (8,456 followers), and Facebook for B2B segment targeting (2,341 followers). The differentiation strategy emphasizes personalized consultation services rather than competing solely on price. Key challenges include limited human resources, digital competency gaps, intense price competition, and logistical complexities for fragile and heavy products. E-commerce adoption has significantly transformed business performance, increasing monthly sales from IDR 50-60 million (pre-e-commerce) to IDR 160-180 million, with online channels contributing 60-65%. Geographic reach expanded from a 30-40 km radius to national coverage, with active customers growing from 300-400 to 2,800-3,000. This study contributes to the literature on SME digital transformation in developing countries, particularly in the under-researched building materials retail sector.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of STP-based marketing strategies (Segmenting, Targeting, Positioning) in paper mill companies engaged in the production and sale of Paper Core and Paper Tube, in the context of market expansion from East Java to the Greater Jakarta area. This case study uses a qualitative descriptive approach by collecting data through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation of the company's marketing activities. The results of the study show that implementing the STP strategy plays a significant role in expanding market reach and increasing companies' competitiveness. Market segmentation is based on geographical variables, industry demographics, and customer behavior, leading the company to target the textile, plastic film, and packaging industries in the Greater Jakarta area. The targeting strategy is focused on medium and large industrial segments with high product quality needs and fast delivery services. In terms of positioning, the company positions itself as a "reliable industry partner in quality Paper Core and Paper Tube solutions with timely service." The implementation of this strategy resulted in a 35% increase in sales in two years, as well as strengthening the company's brand image in the national market. This study emphasizes that STP-based marketing strategies are an important instrument in dealing with the dynamics of the B2B industrial market in the paper mill sector.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the growth of green entrepreneurship, also known as green entrepreneurship, in developing countries, with particular emphasis on the components that affect business sustainability. Green entrepreneurship orientation and green innovation are critical to improving the economic, social, and environmental performance of businesses, according to research conducted on fourteen Scopus indexed scientific articles from 2021-2025. However, green practices still face structural challenges such as limited capital, access to green technologies, and limited policy support. It is evident that institutional elements, public policies, and local social and cultural principles play a significant role in strengthening the green entrepreneurship ecosystem. To accelerate the transformation towards a sustainable economy in developing countries, this study confirms that governments, businesses, and communities must work together in various sectors.
