Abstract: Information technology is currently developing rapidly. Gadgets as a form of technological development is a common tool used by all circles. Gadgets such as smartphones, tablets or laptops allow users to search for any information instantly via the internet. In the world of education, the presence of these gadgets can have both positive and negative impacts on students. Through gadgets, students can learn online, access e-books, watch educational videos and attend online classes. Gadgets facilitate communication through text messaging, voice calls, video calls and social media anytime and anywhere. Students can interact with teachers through apps like Zoom and Google Meet. Despite their benefits in terms of information access and learning, unwise use can affect students' behaviour and ethics, such as lack of manners, dependence on social media, and reduced in-person social interaction. Through this activity, students of SMA WR Supratman 1 Medan were given an understanding of the benefits and risks of using gadgets, as well as how to use them wisely and responsibly. The education was delivered by a team of STIE Eka Prasetya lecturers through interactive lectures, discussions, and case studies.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of relationship marketing and discounts on customer satisfaction at the Penyet Kalasan Chicken Restaurant. The study adopts a quantitative approach with sampling determined using the Hair formula. Data were analyzed through multiple linear regression. The results show that relationship marketing has a significant positive effect on customer satisfaction, with a regression coefficient of 0.714 and tcount (10.054) greater than ttable (1.9804), and a significance value below 0.05. Similarly, discounts also exert a significant positive effect, indicated by a regression coefficient of 0.251 and tcount (3.278) > ttable (1.9804). The joint effect of both variables is confirmed by the F-test, where Fcount (89.698) exceeds Ftable (3.07), suggesting that relationship marketing and discounts simultaneously influence customer satisfaction. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R²) indicates that 60.5% of the variance in customer satisfaction is explained by these two variables, while 39.5% is attributed to other factors outside the study. These findings emphasize that customer relationship strategies and discount programs are critical drivers of satisfaction in the restaurant industry. Therefore, managers are advised to strengthen relational engagement with customers while offering attractive promotional pricing to sustain loyalty and competitiveness in a highly dynamic market.

Abstract

The rapid shift to digital financial systems has transformed rural banking, yet challenges like uneven adoption and limited financial literacy persist in regions like North Sumatra. This study aims to examine how financial inclusion and taxation influence digital finance adoption in North Sumatra’s rural banks, focusing on the mediating roles of corporate governance, financial literacy, and technological innovation. Using a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling, data were collected from 91 rural banks through questionnaires, documentation, and observations. The findings confirm that financial inclusion and taxation significantly drive digital finance, both directly (p<0.05) and through the mediators, with corporate governance, financial literacy, and technological innovation explaining 85.4% of the variance in digital finance adoption. These results highlight the critical role of inclusive financial systems and transparent tax policies in enhancing digital transformation. The study concludes that rural banks should prioritize financial literacy programs and digital tax systems to improve efficiency, particularly in less-developed districts like Nias. These findings offer practical strategies for rural banks and policymakers to strengthen digital financial systems and promote inclusive growth in North Sumatra.
