Abstract

Advertising and marketing are powerful tools for influencing consumer behavior and shaping societal norms and perceptions. Historically, advertisements have perpetuated gender stereotypes, portraying men as dominant and rational while reducing women to passive, decorative roles. However, the emergence of femvertising—a blend of feminism and advertising—has shifted this narrative by promoting gender equality and women's empowerment. This study examines how Du Anyam’s Instagram marketing campaign employs multimodal discourse to challenge traditional gender roles and advocate for women’s empowerment in Indonesia. Utilizing a qualitative approach grounded in Multimodal Discourse Analysis (MDA), the research explores the interplay of visual, linguistic, and semiotic elements across selected Instagram content from May to June 2024. The findings reveal that Du Anyam strategically integrates cultural symbols, authentic storytelling, and pro-women messages to construct narratives celebrating female agency, resilience, and economic independence. Visual elements such as gestures, facial expressions, and traditional crafts are combined with empowering language to reinforce the brand’s commitment to social change. Furthermore, the study highlights how femvertising can simultaneously serve commercial interests and contribute to broader discourses on gender equality. By fostering authentic representation and cultural relevance, Du Anyam’s campaign demonstrates the potential of femvertising as a tool for brand differentiation and social impact.

Abstract

In Indonesia's highly competitive FMCG market, product quality is critical in maintaining customer loyalty and protecting brand reputation. Company XYZ, a key player in this sector, recently encountered significant challenges due to packaging defects, specifically leaks in its Non-Dairy Creamer (NDC) product line. These defects have led to customer dissatisfaction and threaten the company's relationship with a major client. This study aims to identify the root causes of these packaging failures and propose effective solutions to enhance packaging quality. A qualitative research approach involved semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and analyzing internal communication records. Root Cause Analysis (RCA) tools, such as Causal Factor Charting and the 5 Whys method, were utilized to uncover the underlying issues. The findings revealed two primary causes: the Quality team's lack of expertise in conducting thorough risk assessments for packaging designs and insufficient knowledge in evaluating the structural integrity of modified packaging. To address these issues, the study recommends implementing standardized risk assessment protocols, conducting comprehensive packaging performance tests, and enhancing training programs for quality management personnel. By adopting these measures, Company XYZ can reduce packaging defects, improve customer satisfaction, and strengthen its competitive position in the dynamic FMCG industry.

Abstract

Ghost kitchens have emerged as a disruptive force in Indonesia’s urban food economy, driven by digitalization, platform-based business models, and changing consumer behaviour. By eliminating the need for physical storefronts, they enable small entrepreneurs to reduce operational costs and access a broader market through food delivery platforms like GoFood, GrabFood, and ShopeeFood. However, their reliance on these platforms creates new economic dependencies, as algorithm-driven visibility and commission fees significantly impact profitability. Additionally, the rise of ghost kitchens intensifies market competition, particularly between independent operators and corporate-backed cloud kitchens that dominate rankings and resources. This study employs a qualitative multiple-case study approach to examine the economic and regulatory implications of ghost kitchens, including their impact on traditional food vendors, gig workers, and urban policies. Findings reveal that while ghost kitchens increase business accessibility, they also contribute to labour precarity within the gig economy, as food delivery workers face unstable incomes and high operational costs. The study underscores the need for adaptive regulatory frameworks, including fair taxation, food safety measures, and platform accountability to ensure equitable market participation. As ghost kitchens continue to evolve, proactive policies are required to balance innovation with sustainability, ensuring long-term benefits for entrepreneurs, workers, and consumers in Indonesia’s digital food ecosystem.

Abstract

Survey data collected over 18 years via a repeated cross-sectional design was examined to explore customer preference between the two main competitors in the fast-food hamburger industry: McDonald's and Wendy’s. The primary purpose of the study is to determine whether burger preference has changed over the time series and the relative importance of price and taste in determining restaurant preference. Results of the study show no significant time series effect for preference but a trend toward McDonald's in terms of intentions to visit. McDonald’s is slightly preferred over Wendy’s overall, and taste is an overwhelmingly more important consideration than the price in determining preference, even though the results show respondents consider Wendy’s to be the better-tasting competitor.

Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) in enhancing brand awareness of Patrakomala, a digital platform launched by the Bandung City Culture and Tourism Office to foster a creative economy ecosystem. This research uncovers a critical awareness gap, employing a qualitative approach that involves in-depth interviews with internal stakeholders and external creative actors, supplemented by secondary data (e.g., Instagram analytics, policy documents). A mini-survey of 50 creative economy actors found that 60% were unaware of Patrakomala's existence, and 66% could not recognize its brand identity. The study applies STP, PESTEL, VRIO, and SWOT analysis frameworks to diagnose branding challenges and proposes an IMC strategy grounded in the RABOSTIC model. Key strategies include digital storytelling, community activation, and sub-sector ambassadors. The findings provide actionable insights for public sector branding and contribute to the discourse on IMC adaptation in government-led digital initiatives.

Abstract

PT Bluebird Tbk, a leading Indonesian road transportation company, plans to acquire 1,000 electric vehicles (EVs) by 2025, which will require an investment of IDR 1.8 trillion. Currently, the company's capital structure consists of 25.24% debt and 74.76% equity, a proportion that differs significantly from the Indonesian road transportation industry average of 51.63% debt and 48.37% equity. This difference suggests that PT Bluebird Tbk may not yet have reached an optimal capital structure. Achieving an optimal mix between debt and equity is important for minimising the company's cost of capital and maximising its overall value. The planned expansion provides an opportunity for PT Bluebird Tbk to evaluate and potentially restructure its capital structure. This study utilised the Cost of Capital approach to identify the optimal capital structure, with the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) formula to analyse various debt and equity scenarios. The Damodaran Synthetic Rating is utilised to estimate the cost of debt, while the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is applied to calculate the cost of equity. The results indicate that the optimal capital structure for PT Bluebird Tbk consists of 32% debt and 68% equity. Therefore, the most favourable financing strategy for the expansion involves raising IDR 742,475 million through debt and IDR 438,711 million through equity to achieve this optimal structure.

Abstract

The study aimed to evaluate the impact of digital strategic partnerships on the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. This comes amid declining financial performance among most banks in the country, and a changing market landscape characterised by disruptions in the financial market. While available empirical evidence suggests that the essence of digital strategic partnerships lies in stimulating the performance of modern enterprises, there remains scant evidence in the case of commercial banks, particularly in Kenya. This motivated the study to assess the extent to which commercial banks in Kenya have embraced digital strategic partnerships and how this has influenced their financial performance. The study was grounded in the resource-based view theory. The study employed a descriptive research design, surveying 112 respondents from 39 commercial banks in Kenya. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data, which was analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that most of the surveyed commercial banks had embraced digital strategic partnerships, especially with fintech companies. It was also established that a significant and positive relationship exists between digital strategic partnerships and the financial performance of commercial banks in Kenya. The study concluded that the banking industry in Kenya was steadily focusing on digitalising its processes, thus enhancing digital strategic partnerships was a norm in most banks. It is recommended that while most banks have embraced digital strategic partnerships, institutionalising these partnerships is essential to make them more profound and long-lasting, thereby contributing to the continued competitiveness of the banks. Furthermore, banks need to take a step further and invest in digital infrastructure and skills, as well as enter into digital strategic partnerships that incorporate at least the basics, to enhance their competitive advantage in these partnerships.
