Objective: Digital micro-entrepreneurship in the tourism and hospitality industry is a novel phenomenon driven by accommodation sharing platforms like Airbnb. The purpose of the study is to explore the attributes, motivations, perceptions, benefits, and challenges faced by entrepreneurs in the peer-to-peer accommodation sector driven by the Airbnb Platform. Research Design & Methods: This study used a qualitative research design that followed inductive content analysis assisted by thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with twelve micro-entrepreneurs who provide peer-to-peer accommodations in Sri Lanka. Findings: Peer-to-Peer accommodation entrepreneurs were motivated mainly by the curiosity to try Airbnb, followed by monetary and social gains. Amidst several challenges, such as the uncleanliness of some guests and violation of house rules, peer-to-peer micro-entrepreneurs enjoy their role as hosts and are satisfied with the overall hosting experience. Implications & Recommendations: The study provided peer-to-peer accommodation hosts a sense of empowerment and an opportunity to make their voice heard, which is crucial in developing an impartial public debate to develop the right policies for the peer-to-peer accommodation sector in Sri Lanka. Contribution & Value Added: The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on entrepreneurship in the informal sector by viewing Airbnb hosts as informal microentrepreneurs with distinct attributes, motives, perceptions, benefits and challenges while providing valuable insights for various stakeholders in the industry.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the causal order among dimensions of customer-based brand equity (CBBE) in Indonesian higher education institutions. The core dimensions of brand equity used are brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality, and brand loyalty. Research Design & Methods: This study used a research instrument questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale. The research sample is 150 students of the Universitas Terbuka in Jayapura. The research hypotheses were tested using PLS-SEM with the SmartPLS version 3 as the supporting software. Findings: The results showed a causal order among the CBBE dimensions. Brand awareness has a positive and significant effect on perceived quality. The perceived quality has a positive and significant effect on brand loyalty, and brand awareness indirectly affects brand loyalty through perceived quality. This study cannot prove the moderating role of brand association on the relationship between brand awareness and perceived quality. Implications & Recommendations: This study provides implications and recommendations for the management of higher education institutions to create brand loyalty with a gradual process starting from developing a brand awareness strategy and then building positive perceived quality. Contribution & value Added: This study significantly extends the CBBE literature in the higher education institution sector, especially in Indonesia, which is still rarely studied. This study provides novelty by examining causal sequences and interactions on the CBBE dimensions.
目的:本研究旨在探讨印尼高等教育机构顾客品牌资产(CBBE)各维度之间的因果关系。所使用的品牌资产的核心维度是品牌意识、品牌联想、感知质量和品牌忠诚度。研究设计与方法:本研究采用李克特5分制问卷调查。研究样本是查亚普拉Terbuka大学的150名学生。研究假设采用PLS-SEM和SmartPLS version 3作为支持软件进行检验。结果显示CBBE各维度之间存在因果关系。品牌意识对感知质量有显著的正向影响。感知质量对品牌忠诚有正向显著影响,品牌意识通过感知质量间接影响品牌忠诚。本研究无法证明品牌联想对品牌意识与感知质量关系的调节作用。启示与建议:本研究为高等教育机构的管理提供启示和建议,从制定品牌意识策略开始,逐步建立积极的感知质量,以创造品牌忠诚度。贡献与附加值:本研究显著扩展了CBBE文献在高等教育机构领域的研究,特别是在印度尼西亚,这一领域的研究仍然很少。本研究通过检验CBBE维度上的因果序列和相互作用提供了新颖性。

Objective: The woodcraft business sector in Soloraya has promising opportunities, but currently, the number of businesses is decreasing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This research aims to analyze the effect of market orientation and product innovation on marketing performance mediated by competitive strategy. Research Design & Methods: This study uses a quantitative method surveying 120 woodcraft businesses in Soloraya. The sample was obtained using a purposive sampling method with the business's criteria for more than 5 years and was analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) using PLS to obtain comprehensive results. Findings: The results show that market orientation and product innovation positively and significantly affect competitive strategy and business performance. Competitive strategy can also mediate the effect of market orientation and product innovation on marketing performance. Implications & Recommendations: Market orientation implements a marketing concept that can provide superior value to consumers. The competitive strategy is intended to maintain a level of gain and a sustainable position when facing competition. When increasing the competitive strategy, it needs to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the business, so when determining the price, form, and quality as a competitive advantage, the competitors cannot be imitated perfectly. Contribution & Value Added: This competitive strategy model provides the enterprise with more significant opportunities to expand market share and rise from adversity due to the Covid-19 pandemic to continue to exist in the industry. In addition, this model can be applied to other areas so that this type of business does not experience a shortage of supplies.

The study aimed at investigating the perceptions and views explicitly or implicitly of the management of Greek public universities regarding the need to adopt new practices such as marketing and its digital transformation and to find out the factors that shape perceptions. Research Design & Methods: The study adopted a quantitative method conducting in-depth interviews with rectors and vice-rectors of 10 representative Greek Universities. Findings: Results indicated that administrators believe that marketing and its digital transformation have great impact in attracting students and that the duration of the operating time of a university is directly related to the formation of perceptions about marketing and digital transformation in the context of Digital Darwinism. Implications & Recommendations: Universities will be able to understand the extent of their reaction to the adoption of new applications such as marketing. Contribution & Value Added: The present study is primarily a useful tool for public university administrations in their efforts to adopt marketing practices to understand which areas to focus on in order to effectively implement marketing and its digital transformation. The study also provides them with the tools to easily recognize their degree of maturity in terms of their culture and perceptions towards the application of marketing practices. In addition the study enriches the literature on the management field of higher education institutions. It highlights factors such as the duration of operation, the geographical location and the size of a university compared to administrative practices.

Objective: This research aims to analyse the factors that influence customer satisfaction of black market’s Chinese smartphone. Research Design & Methods: The research uses quantitative approach to analyse the sample of 250 buyers of black market’s Chinese smartphone across Solo Raya. The sampling technique is purposive sampling through questionnaires with a Likert scale. The analytical technique is multiple regression. Findings: The findings showed that 1) black market has a significant direct effect on customer satisfaction, 2) price has a significant direct effect on customer satisfaction, 3) product quality has a significant direct effect on customer satisfaction. Implications & Recommendations: This research has practical implications for the marketing policies implemented by Chinese smartphone companies to increase customer awareness and product distribution policies to support increased sales at official stores and fight illegal trade in Chinese smartphone products. The social impact of the research is to contribute to changes in people's behavior in buying Chinese smartphones where there needs to be aware that the black market is an illegal store to buy products if people want to buy Chinese smartphones, then the right thing is at official stores or outlets that are already working—same with the company. Contribution & Value Added: This research provides added value to evaluating distribution policies implemented by Chinese smartphone companies, which are considered less able to compete with the black market. So to increase market share at official stores, Chinese smartphone companies must be more severe in managing the distribution of product sales so that industrial competition can run properly.
