g based commercial transactions often involve real time, visually driven interactions that encourage impulsive purchasing decisions, making traditional regulatory frameworks insufficient. This study aims to analyze the primary factors influencing consumer protection in live commerce settings by examining five core variables: product transparency, platform accountability, perceived risk, consumer trust, and digital literacy. Utilizing a qualitative exploratory approach, this research conducted a comprehensive literature review of 77 international journal articles published between 2020 and 2024. The findings indicate that product transparency and platform accountability are fundamental to enhancing consumer trust and reducing perceived risks, whereas digital literacy acts as a moderating factor that empowers consumers to make informed decisions. The study proposes a conceptual framework that integrates behavioral and regulatory dimensions, offering both theoretical insights and practical implications for improving consumer protection in fast paced, interactive digital marketplaces.

sed is descriptive associative with a quantitative approach, using secondary data in the form of the company's quarterly financial reports obtained through purposive sampling techniques. The analytical tools used include Pearson Product Moment correlation analysis, coefficient of determination (R²), t-test and F-test, and multiple linear regression. The results of the study show that DAR has a negative correlation with ROI of -0.607, while LTDTER also shows a negative correlation of -0.478, both of which are included in the weak relationship category. The coefficient of determination value of 50.4% indicates that half of the variation in ROI can be explained by the two independent variables, while the remaining 49.6% is influenced by other factors outside the study. The F test shows that DAR and LTDTER simultaneously have a significant effect on ROI. This finding confirms that a high debt-based capital structure has a negative impact on investment returns, making it important for financial management to consider the efficiency of long-term debt use and total debt in long-term financial strategies.

iative approach that is causal aims to determine the influence between independent variables on dependent variables. The population in this study is respondents who have bought bakery products at Lemona Cake &; Bakery Tasikmalaya, while the number of respondents is as many as 97 respondents. In this study using Non Proability Sampling techniques, Non Proability Sampling, namely sample selection with non-probability methods or non-randomly, population elements do not have the same opportunity to be selected as samples. This is done based on the consideration of relatively fast hang times and relatively cheap costs, then the sampling method uses Accidental Sampling, Accidental sampling is a sampling technique based on chance, that is, anyone who accidentally meets the researcher can be used as a sample, if it is considered that the person who happened to meet is suitable as a source of data. From the results of this study shows that the value of t-count obtained is 8.204 and t-table 1.661 it can be seen that t-count is greater than t-table (8.204 > 1.661) so that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted meaning that the hypothesis is accepted, so it can be explained that brand image has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, with a value I of 0.644 and a value of coefficient of determination (R square) of 0.641 which means the influence of brand image variables (x) on the purchase decision variable (y) is 64.1% while the remaining 35.9% is explained by other factors or variables that are unknown and not included in this study.
