Abstract

Social interactions play an important role in influencing individuals' purchasing decisions in the context of modern society. This study examines how the social environment, consisting of family, friends and reference groups, significantly shapes consumer preferences and behaviour. Through a sociological approach, this study explores theories of social interaction and its influence on purchasing decisions, including mechanisms of conformity, social group influence and normative pressure. By analysing consumer behaviour within their social networks, this research highlights how social norms, group status, and cultural and environmental expectations can influence product and brand choices. The results show that the social environment not only influences purchasing decisions directly through daily interactions, but also through the construction of individual social identities. Consumers often seek social validation through the products they buy, hoping to gain recognition or status within their social group. In addition, phenomena such as shifts in consumption behaviour due to the influence of social media and opinion leaders also strengthen the impact of the social environment on purchasing decisions. This research confirms the importance of considering aspects of social interaction in marketing strategies, especially in understanding consumer motivation from a sociological perspective. The findings provide practical implications for marketers in designing campaigns that can leverage social dynamics to influence consumer preferences and drive more effective purchase behaviour.

Abstract

Sektor industri kreatif telah menjadi salah satu pilar penting dalam perekonomian global, dengan pertumbuhan pesat dan potensi besar dalam menciptakan lapangan kerja. Kebijakan pajak yang diterapkan pemerintah memainkan peran penting dalam memengaruhi keputusan investasi di sektor ini, baik melalui insentif maupun hambatan fiskal. Namun, terdapat banyak tantangan dalam menarik investasi ke industri kreatif, termasuk kebijakan pajak yang rumit dan tidak konsisten. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh kebijakan pajak terhadap daya tarik investasi di sektor industri kreatif. Penelitian ini dilakukan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan mengumpulkan data dari berbagai penelitian dan studi terdahulu yang relevan. Data yang diperoleh kemudian dianalisis untuk menemukan pola dan tren yang berkaitan dengan kebijakan pajak dan investasi. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kebijakan pajak berperan penting dalam menentukan biaya investasi, dengan insentif pajak yang dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan daya tarik sektor industri kreatif. Reformasi kebijakan pajak yang lebih inklusif diperlukan untuk mendukung perkembangan industri kreatif, terutama bagi usaha kecil dan menengah. Penyederhanaan sistem perpajakan juga akan meningkatkan efisiensi dan mengurangi hambatan administratif bagi investor. Selain itu, kolaborasi antara pemerintah dan pelaku industri sangat penting untuk menciptakan kebijakan yang lebih responsif dan adaptif terhadap kebutuhan industri.

Abstract

Perubahan tarif pajak penghasilan merupakan isu penting dalam kebijakan fiskal yang dapat mempengaruhi berbagai aspek ekonomi suatu negara. Tarif pajak yang berubah dapat berdampak signifikan terhadap struktur ekonomi, investasi, dan distribusi pendapatan, yang pada akhirnya berpengaruh pada pertumbuhan ekonomi. Di Indonesia, dampak perubahan tarif pajak penghasilan belum sepenuhnya dipahami, sehingga penting untuk melakukan penelitian mendalam mengenai topik ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi dampak perubahan tarif pajak penghasilan terhadap investasi domestik dan asing, serta pertumbuhan ekonomi di Indonesia. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan mengumpulkan data dari studi-studi terdahulu dan literatur relevan. Data yang terkumpul akan dianalisis untuk mengidentifikasi pola dan hubungan signifikan terkait kebijakan pajak. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perubahan tarif pajak penghasilan mempengaruhi keputusan investasi, distribusi pendapatan, dan stabilitas ekonomi makro. Kenaikan tarif pajak dapat mengurangi konsumsi dan investasi, sedangkan penurunan tarif dapat mendorong pertumbuhan ekonomi jangka pendek namun berisiko pada defisit anggaran.
