Abstract:Small and Medium Industries (SMEs) play an important role in the regional and national economy, especially in providing employment and increasing the added value of local products. T.A Rezeki is one of the SMEs that produces…
uces its products by purchasing raw materials from products at chemical stores, then marketing them to surrounding areas, several restaurants, mosques and laundries directly. The design of an IoT-based batch mixer is expected to help TA Rezeki SMEs to automate the base soap stirring process so that it is more efficient and consistent. With the implementation of IoT, it is expected to reduce operational costs, increase production capacity, and produce soap products with better and uniform quality. Based on the satisfaction survey conducted, the results showed that the digitalization of soap stirring tools carried out in this activity provided benefits to SMEs by providing convenience with equipment automation and more consistent stirring so that the resulting products are also of better quality.
Abstract:The rapid evolution of digital technologies, particularly live streaming features in e-commerce platforms, has significantly transformed consumer behavior while introducing new risks to consumer protection. Live streaming…
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.
Abstract:The purpose of this study is to find out and prove how much influence brand image has on the purchase decision of bakery products in CV. Lemona Cake &Bakery Tasikmalaya. This study uses quantitative methods with an associative…
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.
