Abstract

This study aims to determine the impact of controversial figures in marketing strategies in the skincare industry. The research focuses on three public figures: Nikita Mirzani, Dr. Richard Lee, and “Dokter Detektif." This study uses a qualitative study approach to explore the polarization of public image and the role of celebrities in influencing consumer perceptions, brand trust, and purchase intent. Data was collected through social media content analysis, online media documentation, and a literature review of previous studies. The findings reveal three core themes: (1) controversial personal branding attracts engagement and emotional resonance, (2) buzz marketing tactics trigger virality through peripheral cues rather than rational persuasion, and (3) consumer ambivalence emerges between entertainment value and brand credibility. However, the use of controversy also poses long-term reputational risks for the associated brands. Although this study is limited to qualitative methods, it offers theoretical insights and practical recommendations for ethically managing influencer campaigns in culturally sensitive digital markets.

Abstract

Research on digital literacy in MSMEs has gained attention; however, its intersection with women’s entrepreneurship and cultural heritage in sustainable tourism remains underexplored. This study seeks to fill this gap by examining how digital literacy and local wisdom jointly influence the sustainability of women-led MSMEs in Lake Toba, Indonesia, a UNESCO Global Geopark. A qualitative approach was applied through in-depth interviews with 50 women entrepreneurs engaged in culinary, handicraft, homestay, and creative sectors, along with officials from the Cooperative and the MSME Office of Samosir Regency. The data were analyzed using thematic coding to uncover patterns of opportunities, constraints, and resilience strategies. The study reveals that women entrepreneurs serve as both economic actors and cultural custodians yet face significant challenges, including low digital literacy, limited financing access, seasonal dependency, and domestic burdens. Despite these barriers, the findings highlight a novel synergy between digital literacy and local wisdom that fosters value creation, eco-friendly innovation, and cultural-based brand storytelling as pathways to sustainability. As this was a single-case qualitative study, the results were context-specific and may not be broadly generalizable. Theoretically, this study integrates digital literacy and cultural heritage into the MSME sustainability discourse. Practically, it provides policy recommendations and training models to promote women’s empowerment and sustainable rural tourism.

Abstract

This study examines how perceived price fairness and consumer social experience affect customer engagement and repurchase intention among street coffee consumers in Indonesia. Using a quantitative explanatory approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) on data from 400 respondents, the research identifies a dual-value dynamic between economic fairness and social experience in shaping consumer loyalty. The findings show that price fairness does not significantly influence engagement but directly increases repurchase intention, indicating that transparent pricing builds rational trust and behavioral loyalty. In contrast, consumer social experience strongly enhances both engagement and repurchase intention, confirming that emotional connection and social belonging are the main drivers of repeat behavior. Customer engagement also significantly predicts repurchase intention and mediates the relationship between social experience and loyalty, while its mediating effect between price fairness and loyalty is insignificant. These results demonstrate that engagement functions as a psychological bridge between social interaction and behavioral commitment. The study contributes to understanding consumer loyalty in informal markets and suggests that entrepreneurs should combine fair pricing with interactive, community-based experiences to strengthen customer trust and long-term loyalty.

Abstract

The goal of this study is to look into how work motivation, the work environment, and training affect how well employees do their jobs at PT Medcomm Solution. In service organizations, human resources are regarded as a strategic element affecting performance, with other internal organizational factors contributing. This study utilized a quantitative methodology with a causal associative research design. The sample encompassed all 60 employees, employing a census sampling methodology. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings suggest that job motivation and training positively and significantly influence employee performance, however the work environment does not. These three independent factors have a substantial effect on employee performance at the same time, as shown by the F-value of 20.085 and the significance level of 0.000 (<0.05). The coefficient of determination value of 51.8% shows that the variables of work motivation, work environment, and training can explain differences in employee performance. The other 48.2% is due to factors not included in this research model, such as rewards, pay, work discipline, organizational culture, job satisfaction, work stress, and individual employee characteristics.
