Abstract

This study aims to analyze the marketing public relations strategies the By.U provider employs to increase brand awareness through social media. The research method used is a qualitative approach with several data collection techniques, including interviews, observation, and documentation. The data analysis employed is qualitative data analysis, which involves three main activities: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing or verification. Based on the research findings, it can be concluded that.U's marketing public relations planning strategy almost entirely adheres to the dimensions and indicators in the strategic planning process outlined by Whalen, known as Whalen’s 7-Step Strategic Planning Process. The only shortcoming lies in the situational analysis dimension, where U did not fully implement a SWOT analysis but only utilised certain aspects. The marketing public relations efforts By.U have generally been successful and aligned with the Three Ways Strategy concept by Thomas L. Harris. However, areas still need improvement, such as the frequency of interaction by the By.U team on Instagram comments, which is rarely done, and the repetitive use of the same color scheme in their posts, leading to follower fatigue. Moreover, there is a lack of broader outreach to less tech-savvy individuals. Additionally, the brand awareness of By.U users and potential users, according to Aaker's (1991) theory, is still at the brand recognition level.

Abstract

The digital era presents complex philosophical and ethical challenges, prompting an evaluation of traditional frameworks like mind-body dualism for new ethical foundations. This paper critically examines Baruch Spinoza's critique of René Descartes' dualism and their contemporary relevance in addressing the ethical and existential challenges of the digital age. Employing library research and a critical-philosophical approach, this study analyzes primary and secondary texts. This research finds that while Descartes' rationalism laid the groundwork for modern scientific epistemology, its inherent dualism contributes to digital ethical and existential crises. Conversely, Spinoza's monistic ethics of unity and natural order offer an alternative framework for navigating the moral dilemmas of a digital society. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of synthesizing individual and relational rationality as a strong ethical foundation for human progress amidst rapid technological advancement.

Abstract

This narrative review examines the complex landscape of communication in multinational corporations (MNCs), focusing on intercultural and structural challenges that affect internal communication and organizational cohesion. The study aims to synthesize recent findings and evaluate the effectiveness of current strategies in overcoming barriers such as language differences, cultural misalignments, and hierarchical communication structures. Using a structured review approach, the research draws on peer-reviewed literature from Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, analyzing thematic insights from qualitative and quantitative studies published over the past decade. The findings confirm that intercultural communication challenges—particularly language barriers and cultural diversity—remain persistent in MNC settings. Additionally, hierarchical organizational structures inhibit information flow and reduce employee engagement. Notably, the dominance of English as a corporate language can both facilitate and obstruct communication depending on local employees' proficiency levels. However, digital communication platforms and adaptive strategies that consider local cultural contexts have shown promise in mitigating these issues. The discussion emphasizes the importance of revisiting organizational communication policies, encouraging flatter hierarchies, and investing in intercultural training. These measures are key to fostering inclusive, responsive, and effective communication ecosystems. This review contributes to the literature by bridging systemic insights with practical implications, suggesting that a balanced global-local communication approach is critical for organizational resilience in diverse international contexts.
