selin Ç?nar — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0700

The concept of sustainable development and environmental protection are among the main objectives of the World Trade Organization. For this purpose, the labor and environmental standards of the World Trade Organization are also included in the agreement. In 1994, the World Trade Organization Trade and Environment Committee was established in this context, and international organizations joined it. So, in this paper analyze that labor and environmental standards should be in a Trade Organization unbiased way.

This study examines the complex rhetoric surrounding the incorporation of labor and environmental norms into the World Trade Organization (WTO) structure. The phenomenon of trade globalization has profoundly affected the interdependence of economies, prompting inquiries into the ethical aspects of international commerce. Incorporating labor and environmental norms into the World Trade Organization (WTO) has emerged as a central topic of controversy. Advocates contend that incorporating such measures is paramount in promoting sustainable growth, guaranteeing equitable labor standards, and addressing global environmental deterioration. However, integrating these standards could impose economic constraints, impede the free trade flow, and even result in the adoption of protectionist measures. This study explores multiple viewpoints, evaluates the possible consequences, and evaluates the practicality of integrating labor and environmental concerns within the World Trade Organization (WTO). This study makes a valuable contribution to the continuing discourse surrounding the development of a more inclusive and responsible international political economy by assessing its effects on economic growth, social justice, and environmental sustainability.

Net Profit Margin and Current Ratio are two financial ratios used to analyze the financial health of a company. Net Profit Margin is one of the important indicators to assess the financial performance of a company as it provides an insight into how effectively the company generates profits from its operations after considering all costs and expenses. It measures the company’s efficiency in generating profit from each unit of revenue. Companies with a high Net Profit Margin are often considered more attractive to investor because the high net profit indicates the company’s ability to generate strong cash flow and provide good returns to shareholders. Current Ratio is a liquidity ratio that measures a company’s ability to meet its shortterm obligations with liquid assets that can be quickly converted into cash. A high Current Ratio indicates that the company has sufficient current assets to meet its shortterm liabilities. This can provide assurance to investors that the company will not face financial difficulties in paying its obligations when they become due.

The Roles of Price on Rebates and Implication to Customer Product Choice

Anton Tirta Komara — Thu, 30 Nov 2023 00:00:00 +0700

A comprehensive comprehension of the various factors influencing consumer purchasing decisions is crucial for success in the highly competitive business environment. The findings of this study examine the significant role that price and discounts (rebates) play in consumer decision-making. The study's findings emphasize the considerable influence of price on consumers' decision-making regarding product selection. Consumers tend to seek out more affordable alternative options when there is an increase in the price of a product. Nevertheless, in the event of a compelling discount, consumers tend to transition and opt for the alternative product swiftly.

Furthermore, this study demonstrates that individuals' financial capabilities impact their decision-making process when it comes to selecting products. Consumers exhibiting elevated financial capacities are inclined to prioritize personal preferences when making product selections rather than solely focusing on price considerations. This observation indicates that individuals with greater purchasing power are afforded a more comprehensive range of options when selecting products.

However, it is imperative to exercise caution as price similarity assumes a significant role in consumers' decision-making process. Consumers tend to favor products that align with the price they have paid. Nevertheless, the analysis findings suggest the necessity for additional research to gain a more comprehensive understanding of this correlation.

In addition, the discounts provided by companies also impact consumers' perceptions of prices and their financial capacities. Discounts can significantly impact consumers' perceptions of product prices, enabling them to select items previously perceived as unaffordable.

This study offers significant insights into the impact of price, discounts, and financial capabilities on consumer purchasing preferences. The findings of this study establish a robust basis for corporations to develop enhanced marketing strategies, considering the significant influence these variables exert on consumer decision-making processes. Enhanced comprehension of consumer behavior enables companies to attain heightened levels of success within a fiercely competitive market

The emergence of Covid 19 has devastated the performance of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) including in Kendal Regency. Through the People's Market application, it is hoped that it can encourage the performance of MSMEs after the pandemic. However, the problem that occurs is that users of the People's Market application in MSME players are still low which can hinder growth and competitiveness in the digitalization era. This study aims to analyze the behavior of MSME players in adopting the People's Market application in Kendal Regency through the integration of the Theory Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). This research is a causality study using seven main variables tested from the TAM and TPB models, namely: perceived benefits; perceived ease of use; attitude in adopting the People's Market application; subjective norms; perceived behavioral control; behavioral intention in adopting the People's Market application; and actual behavior. The sample of this study used a purposive sampling method with a total sample that met the criteria of 231 respondents. The data was obtained from distributing questionnaires via google form. The data were statistically tested through the AMOS program. The results showed that perceived benefits and perceived ease of use affect attitudes. Attitude affects the behavioral intention of traders in adopting the People's Market application. However, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control have no significant effect on behavioral intentions. The results also prove that behavioral intentions can encourage merchants to carry out actual behavior in adopting the People's Market application.
