Abstract

The current study aimed to investigate the role of visual merchandising strategies, consumer trust in online stores, and shopping lifestyles that can increase impulsive purchases on the Shopee e-commerce. Furthermore, this study also investigates the role of user experience as a moderating construct. Current study was conducted at Denpasar City. This study targets the entire population who use the Shopee e-commerce platform in Denpasar City. Through purposive sampling and the Roscoe formula, 125 respondents were obtained. Empirical data was collected through questionnaires and analyzed using the PLS-SEM approach. The study findings confirm that a crucial component in creating impulsive buying actions among consumers is a lifestyle that always wants to increase value and self-image. Moreover, a good user experience also becomes the driving factor that creates unplanned purchases, especially when various promotions are held. Interesting findings in this study are that there is no significant relationship between visual merchandising and online store belief constructs on impulse buying and the failure of user experience in moderating the relationship between each construct. These findings demonstrate that consumers' impulsive buying activities are not based on trust or the appearance of a visual presentation of the product.

This research was conducted in Tomohon City, North Sulawesi Province, consisted of two hundred respondents from among tourists to fill out the questionnaire and five respondents from the government and stakeholders for interviews through the sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. The method in this research used Importance Performance analysis, which was then analyzed in the Importance Performance Matrix based on the Cartesian quadrant. The results of this research are based on the importance of performance matrix. Tourism potential indicators are the indicators in quadrant 1, which are considered the most important but have not shown performance that satisfies visitors, causing them to be a priority for improvement. Meanwhile, the attractiveness indicator is in quadrant 2, which means that this indicator is considered important and able to satisfy visitors. The city atmosphere and accommodation indicators are included in quadrant 3 where the performance level of both indicators is low and is considered very unimportant.

Abstract

Investment strategy and portfolio management are crucial considerations when investing in mutual funds. This research aims to analyze the effectiveness of achieving optimal returns by simulating dollar cost averaging, lump sum, and value averaging approaches. This analysis is conducted about the performance of a mutual fund portfolio, utilizing the Sharpe and Treynor methods. The research sample employs a purposive sampling technique, selecting the top 5 mutual funds in terms of performance, managed by different investment managers in the year 2022. Simulations are being conducted over three specific periods. In addition to mutual funds, a comparative analysis was conducted involving the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) and 10-year government bond yields (SUN). The simulation results on equity funds for the three periods indicate that the Lump Sum investment method outperforms dollar cost averaging and value averaging, particularly over 6 years. This finding is further corroborated by the Kruskal-Wallis test, which highlights a significant variance in return performance. The results of the Sharpe and Treynor investment methods exhibit significant differences, as confirmed by the Mann-Whitney test. Lastly, regarding benchmark comparisons, the performance of equity funds surpasses that of the benchmark.
