Abstract

Background: Tea stands as one of Indonesia's primary plantation commodities. The demand for tea in the domestic market is currently experiencing positive growth, reflecting shifts in consumer lifestyles and an increased interest in health products. Among the varieties of processed tea available, artisan tea stands out for its superior quality and distinctive characteristics. CV BMB, a family-owned small-scale enterprise, specializes in the development of various artisan tea products. This startup has received support from the startup incubation program provided by the Start Up-Business Development and Incubation Agency of Universitas Airlangga and the Ministry of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises of the Republic of Indonesia. Given its niche market and unique business management approach based on familial relationships, this company presents an intriguing case for analyzing its business model. Objective: This research aims to analyze the business model and competitive strategies of CV BMB, to enable it to compete effectively and sustain growth in a competitive market. Method: This research was conducted using a phenomenological approach. The analysis of CV BMB's artisan tea business model was carried out using the business model canvas. Subsequently, Porter's Five Forces analysis was conducted to obtain suitable competitive strategies for small-scale family businesses producing artisan tea. Results: Porter's Five Forces analysis successfully identified competitive elements within the artisan tea market. Additionally, nine elements in the business canvas model have been identified, contributing to the competitive strategy and development of CV BMB as a small-scale family business producing artisan tea. Three alternative strategies for BMB's business development have been outlined: market expansion, product innovation and development, and management enhancement. Conclusion: The uniqueness of BMB's artisanal tea products, and the market niche that is still open, is an opportunity for future development. As a family business company, the strategy implementation of business model analysis is expected to drive BMB's positive growth. Keywords: artisan tea; family business; business model canvas.

Abstract

Background: In manufacturing companies, determining the cost of goods manufactured is more complex than in service and trading companies, considering that the production cost structure consists of direct raw material costs, direct labor costs, and factory overhead. In identifying the imposition of three components of production costs, the most difficult component to trace is factory overhead because, in determining factory overhead, various approaches and assumptions must be chosen as cost drivers, so it needs the right approach and assumptions for CV XYZ to achieve company performance. Objective: This study seeks to analyze the intricacies of factory overhead calculations under activity-based costing in comparison to the traditional plantwide rate approach used by CV XYZ, which utilizes production units as cost drivers. Method: The method used in this research is a case study on CV XYZ with interviews and documentation as data collection techniques. Interviews were conducted with accounting staff and heads of accounting departments through unstructured interviews. Documentation is carried out based on 2020 financial information. Results: The results of the analysis explain that the calculation of factory overhead applied, production costs, cost of goods manufactured (COGM), and cost of goods sold (COGS) calculated using the plantwide rate approach (production units as cost drivers) shows undercosts when compared to the activity-based costing system, so that the recognized profit is greater than it should be. The implications of undercosts cause information on the income statement to be unreliable, considering that the company has a variety of products and activities related to the production process Conclusion: The activity-based costing system uses more than one cost driver; thus, the activity-based costing system is a more accurate method to be applied by CV XYZ, which has product diversification. Keywords: Factory overhead applied, plantwide rate, activity-based costing system, profit and loss.

Abstract

Background: Affiliate marketers have grown significantly as they serve as promoters, connecting e-commerce platforms with social media audiences and providing profitable income opportunities. Objective: This study assesses the alignment between affiliate marketing practices in Indonesia and the decent work indicator as defined by the International Labor Organization (ILO). Additionally, the study aims to compare respondents' income before and after engaging in affiliate marketing. Method: This study employed random sampling to select a sample of 25 affiliate marketers from the Jabodetabek region in Indonesia. Participants responded to 23 questions developed based on the 11 Decent Work Indicators established by the ILO, utilizing a 1 to 4 ordinal scale. The research utilized k-nearest neighbors clustering analysis to categorize respondents into groups aligning with the ILO's decent work indicators. To assess changes in respondents' income, paired Wilcoxon tests were employed. Results: Exploratory data analysis indicates that Indicators 1 (Employment opportunities) and 7 (Equal opportunity and treatment in employment) align well with ILO's indicators. Cluster analysis confirms that Indicators 1 and 7 share a high-performance group. In contrast, Indicators 6 (Stability and security of work) and 9 (Social security) exhibit the lowest alignment. There is no statistically significant income difference before and after becoming affiliate marketers.

Abstract

Background: Environmental concerns are increasingly influencing consumer decision-making, and green consumer behaviour has garnered attention in marketing and sustainability. Businesses, governments and researchers must understand green consumer behaviour in order to understand sustainable consumption motives, attitudes, and decisions. Objective: The objectives of this review are to analyse and synthesise how researchers characterise and define green consumer behaviour, examine and evaluate the various research methods used to investigate it, and identify and discuss emerging trends and patterns in green consumer behaviour research. Methods: This review followed the PRISMA standards for systematic literature reviews. A thorough screening procedure was used to select 64 papers from 1633. The EBSCOhost Business Source Ultimate, Science Direct, and Emerald were used. Only English-language research papers published between 2005 and 2023 were included. Articles were found using the "green behaviour,” “consumer behaviour,” “sustainability," and "environmentalism keywords”. Results: Green consumer behaviour was interpreted differently using theories such as the theory of planned behaviour, value-belief-norm theory, social cognitive theory, and environmental identity theory. Modern research in this field examines social media, individual values and motivations, environmental knowledge and awareness, and interventions and marketing strategies for eco-friendly consumption Conclusion: This research illuminates significant findings and current trends in the green consumer behaviour debate. It emphasises the need for precise definitions, rigorous research methods, and further studies on green consumer behaviour dynamics. Businesses, governments, and marketers that promote sustainable consumption can learn from the results. Keywords: Definitions; Green consumer behavior; Research methods; Research trends; Systematic literature review
