Abstract

Human capital is one of the most impactful drivers of the operations and growth of a business. However, challenges in hiring and retaining capable candidates exist for multinational companies, such as the risks of bad hires and worker shortages. These companies include Upfield, the largest global plant-based consumer product company headquartered in the Netherlands. One of the ways the company can source and acquire qualified employees is through an internship program. Nonetheless, Upfield’s current internship program has just been established in a department and has not been formalized, which hinders the program from functioning optimally. To maximize the positive impact of Upfield’s internship program, this research analyzes the current situation and industry practices to establish an equitable internship program on the company scale. To collect the data, three interviews were conducted with internal employees who are closely related to the program. Moreover, surveys were disseminated to all 14 interns within the Upfield Netherlands. The qualitative method was used to analyze the collected data. As the research’s conclusion, a centralized system for the internship program was suggested to ensure a streamlined and sustainable program. Moreover, six action plans and an internship program scheme were delivered to substantiate the implementation idea.Keywords: Internship program, Human resource management, Upfield, Talent acquisition.

Abstract

The utilization of celebrity endorsement as a marketing strategy has gained widespread popularity across various industries, including the electronic industry. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of celebrity endorsement towards purchase intention, specifically through brand image. The analysis compares the relationship between variables at two levels: industry and brand, each at varying levels of maturity. The research analyzed Indonesian citizens who are aware of Vivo and Samsung brand and the respondents are acquired through survey generator websites, namely Populix and Survey Monkey. Using the PLS-SEM method continued by MGA (Multi Group Analysis), this research assesses the relationship among 379 valid respondents with Vivo and Samsung. Results indicate that at the industry level, brand image plays a positive mediating role in the relationship between celebrity endorsement and purchase intention, despite a negative direct relationship between the two. At the brand level, celebrity endorsement has a negative impact on purchase intention for Vivo, while exhibiting no significant effect on Samsung brand. However, brand image positively mediates the relationship between the two. Furthermore, multigroup analysis reveals that the difference in effect between the two brands is not statistically significant.Keywords: Celebrity endorsement, Purchase intention, Brand image, Smartphone industry, Indonesia.

Abstract

This research examines how Microsoft's Power BI may be used to improve financial reporting and analysis procedures in Jacobs Douwe Egberts (JDE). Each of the seven chapters in the report addresses different topics relating to Power BI's core features, best practices, JDE’s current financial practices, user requirements and problems, integration with existing processes, as well as potential risks and challenges. The research utilized qualitative analysis using data taken from secondary sources along with interviews with 3 stakeholders chosen with purposeful sampling and observations conducted on internal processes. The results demonstrate that JDE's existing financial reporting approach mainly relies on manual tasks, leading to inefficiencies and a lack of analytical power. Insights from JDE stakeholders also highlight the necessity of increased productivity, automation, better visualizations, and user-friendly navigation. To solve this, Power BI can meet JDE’s needs by simplifying data integration, enhancing data visualization and analysis, minimizing human labor and mistakes, and optimizing the delivery of financial reports. However, the paper also emphasizes possible risks that must be anticipated by risk management controls. Overall, JDE may implement better financial reporting practices while using fewer resources by efficiently utilizing Power BI's capabilities according to needs and addressing potential risks.Keywords: Power BI, Automation, Efficiency, Financial analysis, Finance reporting.

Abstract

This study seeks to objectively investigate the factors influencing Lazada Indonesia's customer loyalty in the country's rapidly expanding e commerce sector. Despite having spent lots of money and investment, Lazada Indonesia was still not the top e-commerce platform in Indonesia, falling behind Tokopedia and Shopee. Thus, the links between brand image, perceived value, customer satisfaction, customer engagement, and e-service quality are investigated and discussed. This study uses a non-probability sampling through convenience sampling technique with 148 respondents collected, while the validity and reliability confirmation process are using the PLS SEM method. Likert scale will also be used within this study. The result is that the path coefficient of most marketing constructs remains significant while the outliers are from brand image towards customer satisfaction, brand image towards customer loyalty, customer satisfaction towards customer loyalty, e-service quality towards brand image, e-service quality towards customer loyalty, and perceived value towards customer satisfaction. For the mediation analysis, this research resulted in complementary mediations, full mediations, and no mediations. The result of this study confirmed that there is a significant effect of several marketing constructs. This research also finds an inverse relation finding means an increase in customer engagement when customer satisfaction is low.Keywords: E-service quality, Customer satisfaction, Customer engagement, Customer loyalty, Perceived value, Brand image.
