Abstract

Despite digital advertising becoming more important in providing business advantage, many sellers in Indonesia remain hesitant to adopt e-commerce advertising tools. This study investigates the main barriers that prevent sellers from using advertising features on a major Indonesian marketplace. A qualitative approach was applied through semi-structured interviews with ten sellers, including current users, former users, and non-users. This study offers a novel contribution by exploring seller resistance from an experience-based perspective, which has not been widely explored in existing adoption research. The study uses a framework analysis method to identify eight main barriers including performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, price value, habit, personal innovativeness, and digital advertising literacy. While most sellers found the platform easy to use, concerns about performance outcomes, cost justification, and lack of advanced knowledge limited adoption. Social factors and marketing preferences also influenced seller decisions. To strengthen the findings, this study uses a triangulation method by comparing the qualitative results with a previous quantitative study. This approach provides a clearer view of seller adoption behavior by confirming key factors and highlighting both aligned and differing insights. These findings provide a clearer understanding of why some sellers resist using e-commerce advertising and emphasize the need to address barriers and concerns to encourage wider tools adoption.

Abstract

Over the past five years, the education technology (EdTech) sector has gained increasing prominence, characterized by significant growth in investments, transactions, and overall revenues. PT Dibimbing (Dibimbing.id), an EdTech company, experienced a decline in revenue largely attributed to elevated customer acquisition costs (CAC). This research aims to analyze the challenges faced by Dibimbing.id and form an innovative and profitable business model for Dibimbing.id. This study uses qualitative research by applying Richardson's framework theory (Value Oriented Framework). This research was obtained through in-depth interviews and Forum Group Discussions (FGDs). The FGD involved teams in Dibimbing.id, including marketing and sales, development, operations, human resources, finance, and technology teams. The results showed that the existing business model faces problems such as variable learning speed, highly complex learning syllabus, hiring difficulties to find advanced talents, bootcamp business model that does not contribute to profit growth, students' concerns with limited job prospects, and financial constraints. Therefore, four solutions were revealed in this research for a new business model, namely self-paced learning, leveling course, job guarantee program, and Study Now Pay Later (SNPL).
