Abstract

The volatility of the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) in 2026 has created a precarious environment for both institutional investors and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia. This research explores the pivotal role of strategic investor communication in mitigating the adverse effects of market downturns and its subsequent impact on MSME welfare. Utilizing a qualitative-exploratory approach, the study analyzes how transparent, data-driven communication strategies can stabilize investor sentiment and prevent capital flight during bearish periods. Furthermore, it investigates the structural link between capital market stability and the informal economy, particularly how fluctuations in the JCI influence the availability of credit and partnership opportunities for MSMEs. Grounded in Signaling Theory and Stakeholder Theory, the findings suggest that effective communication acts as a buffer against market irrationality. The research highlights that while a decline in the JCI often leads to tightened liquidity, proactive engagement strategies can sustain investor confidence in the long-term resilience of the Indonesian economy. This study concludes with a proposed framework for "Integrated Financial Communication" that synchronizes macro-level market signaling with micro-level MSME support systems to ensure holistic economic welfare.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on brand image and consumer preference in the automotive industry, with a case study of motor vehicle consumers in Pontianak City. CSR is currently not only seen as a company's moral obligation, but also as a business strategy that can shape positive perceptions and create competitive advantages. This research uses a quantitative approach with a total of 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling technique. The research instrument was arranged in the form of a Likert scale closed questionnaire and analyzed by multiple linear regression. The results show that CSR has a significant effect on brand image and consumer preference, both directly and through brand image as an intervening variable. Brand image plays a strong mediating role, suggesting that consumer perceptions of corporate social responsibility shape loyalty and purchase intentions. Consumer preference is not only built through product features or price, but also through the emotional connection and social value built by companies through CSR programs. The implication of this study suggests that automotive companies in Pontianak and other regions make CSR a strategic part of brand management and market winning efforts. Consistent, authentic, and communicative CSR implementation can increase positive perceptions of the brand and strengthen the psychological bond between companies and consumers. Thus, CSR becomes an important element in modern sustainable marketing strategies.
