Abstract

The objective of this study is to explore and examine supportive factors of Mass Rapid Transport (MRT) implementa- tion in Jakarta, Indonesia. Successful implementation requires proper understanding of which factors are influential to the acceptance of this technology. The population of this study is commuters along the North to South route of Jakarta MRT development site. We conducted the survey in thirteen locations along the track based on the Station Development Plan. We obtained only 392 valid data after the validation and verification process. This study used Factor Analysis (FA) to test the construct validity of the measurement instrument and Path Analysis (PA) to identify significant structural paths between variables. We found that only Attitude and Perceived Usefulness significantly predict Intention to Adopt MRT for private vehicle users, while only Attitude and Subjective Norms significantly predict Intention to Adopt MRT for public transportation users. We found that for current users of private transportation, both Overall Monthly Transport Expenditure and Intention to Adopt have significant influence to the Willingness to Pay. While for current users of public transports, no predictor is significant for their Willingness to Pay.

Abstract

Manuscript type: Research Paper Research Aims: The Freemium business model is becoming increasingly prominent in the current digital economy. In the mobile game market, total revenue from free to download apps is overtaking those from paid apps. The purpose of this article is to propose a taxonomy that examines and categorises the various types of Freemium business models. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses the qualitative approach of logical partitioning to generate a Freemium business model's taxonomy through systematic observation of the existing business models. Research Findings: The findings identify advertisement and microtransaction as two primary revenue sources for Freemium business models. The taxonomy also reveals different types of in-app purchases, the most dominant Freemium business model in the mobile game market. Further discussion connects the taxonomy to related issues such as user archetypes and 'user flows'. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This paper conceptualises a novel taxonomy of business model integrating various research streams and differentiating types of freemium business model. This paper also extends the existing archetypes of Freemium users by adding new categories, namely Remoras and Barnacles, to differentiate free users. Finally, this paper proposes a framework of user flows between the free and the paying state, arguing for a nonlinear flow. Research limitation/Implications: The taxonomy addresses freemium business models in the mobile game market. Application of the taxonomy in a broader context will require further study.

Utilitarian value influences purchase intent indirectly through product trust and customer engagement. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study adds to the body of knowledge about online commerce by expanding on previous research on live stream selling, particularly by small sellers on Indonesian e-commerce platforms. Practitioner/Policy Implication: According to the findings of this study, small sellers doing Live Stream selling should focus on symbolic and hedonic value to increase customer purchase intention.

Abstract

Entrepreneurial marketing education is considered an essential platform to stimulate successful entrepreneurs, especially for vocational high school (SMK) graduates in Indonesia, which has the highest open unemployment rate and mostly comes from low-income backgrounds. Hence, the researchers investigated why most SMK graduates, supposedly skilful, do not opt for entrepreneurship. This is an under-researched study that could carry enormous implications. The researchers interviewed participants from SMKs in Mataram, Indonesia, three entrepreneurship teachers and six students of entrepreneurship classes from grades 10 to 12. They referred to the extant literature as a basis for a proposed “Entrepreneurial Blocks” framework to explain the barriers and supporting factors for becoming an entrepreneur. Our findings show that entrepreneurial mindset, starting capital, challenges, risk aversion, and limited skills and resources were part of the entrepreneurial blocks. Conversely, working experience, desire for freedom, and the need for achievements were considered the factors to evade the entrepreneurial blocks for SMK graduates.
