The effect of marketing mix on purchasing decisions modified with variables of education level and monthly allowance (Study on By.U products)

Purpose: This study examines how Telkomsel’s by.U product influences the purchasing decisions of the youth segment in Central Jakarta through the 7Ps marketing mix (product, price, place, promotion, people, process, and physical evidence). Education level and monthly allowance were included as moderating variables. Research Methodology: A quantitative approach was applied, and primary data were collected through questionnaires from 348 respondents. Data analysis employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4.0, including validity, reliability, path coefficients, and multi-group analysis for moderation effects. Results: Four elements—price, promotion, people, and process—showed positive and significant effects on the purchase intention. Education level (senior high school) and monthly allowance (low allowance) significantly moderated the relationship between purchase intention and purchase decisions. Promotion had the strongest influence, highlighting the role of attractive offers and relevant promotional content. Internet service quality has emerged as a critical factor in youth preferences for video, music, and gaming services. Conclusions: To expand by.U’s market share, Telkomsel should focus on competitive pricing, appealing promotional strategies, enhancing service processes, and maintaining high Internet quality. Targeted marketing should consider the education level and spending capacity for optimal impact. Limitations: This study is limited to the youth market of Central Jakarta, reducing its generalizability. Only the education level and monthly allowance were tested as moderators. Contribution: This study provides empirical evidence of the effectiveness of the 7Ps marketing mix for digital-native telecommunications products.

Proposed improvements on performance management system at PT JIEP by using balanced scorecard

Purpose: This study addresses the urgent need for an effective performance management system at PT JIEP to bridge the gap between current practices and a holistic approach that aligns individual objectives with the organization’s goals. This study aims to design an improved framework using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) to enhance employee engagement, development, and strategic alignment. Research Methodology: A mixed-method approach was employed, combining quantitative surveys (n=61) and qualitative focus group discussions with the employees. The survey measured six performance management purposes and six key activities on a Likert scale. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS for validity and reliability, and qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Triangulation was used to integrate both datasets. Results: The findings indicate critical deficiencies in administrative efficiency, employee development opportunities, guidance for achieving goals, frequency of evaluations, and transparency in performance consequences. Key challenges include reliance on annual KPI reviews, limited feedback, narrow reward structures and insufficient managerial coaching. Conclusions: The current system lacks strategic alignment, continuous feedback, and diverse recognition methods to improve employee performance. Implementing the BSC framework, diversifying rewards, enhancing managerial coaching skills, and establishing regular evaluations are essential for improving engagement, motivation, and alignment with strategic goals. Limitations: This study focused solely on PT JIEP, limiting its generalizability. Reliance on self-reported data may have introduced bias. Contribution: This research contributes a validated BSC-based performance management framework adaptable to similar organizational contexts, offering actionable strategies to align individual and corporate objectives while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

Financial contagion analysis on asset return of S&P 500 Index, Shanghai Index, and Hang Seng Index with Jakarta Composite Index for the period 2017 – 2023

Purpose: This study investigates financial contagion—the transmission of risk and instability between markets and using the co-volatility contagion test method developed by Fry-McKibbin (2018). This study aims to analyze the volatility linkages among major global stock markets and their impact on Indonesia’s market during economic crises. Research Methodology: This study examines daily asset returns from January 2017 to December 2023 for the S&P 500 Index (SPX, United States), Shanghai Composite Index (SCI, China), Hang Seng Index (HSI, Hong Kong), and Jakarta Composite Index (JCI, Indonesia). The co-volatility contagion framework measures changes in market correlations between crisis and non-crisis periods. Results: The findings reveal contagion from SPX, SCI, and HSI to the JCI, with varying co-volatility patterns. The SPX–JCI relationship shows significantly positive co-volatility differences that decline during crises, indicating synchronized but independent movements under global uncertainty. The SCI–JCI differences were significantly negative with low magnitudes, suggesting opposite movement tendencies during crises. HSI–JCI differences were also significantly negative, reflecting reduced connectivity and divergent responses to global risks. Conclusions: Distinct co-volatility patterns indicate different market sensitivities to global uncertainty, emphasizing the importance of tailored investment and policy strategies. Limitations: This study focuses on four markets and a defined time span, potentially limiting generalizability. However, it does not account for sector-specific contagion effects. Contribution: This study provides empirical evidence of volatility transmission mechanisms, offering valuable insights for investors, market participants, and policymakers to enhance risk assessment and investment strategies.
