Encountering the Policy Dilemma of the Effective Rate of the Value Added Tax on Tobacco Products
No full textThe purpose of this study is to analyze the policy implementation of the increase in the effective rate of Value Added Tax (VAT) on tobacco from 8.7% to 9.1%. This study applies a qualitative with descriptive approach and data collection techniques of research in the literature and in-depth interviews. The findings show that the policy implementation on the increase in effective rate of VAT on tobacco from 8.7% to 9.1% with the enactment of the Regulation of the Minister of Finance No. 207/PMK.010/2016 has not been in accordance with the formulated objectives of the policy, namely, to minimize the negative externalities of cigarette consumption. This policy of the increase in the effective rate affects state revenues, however, the government's attention to minimize the negative externalities of high cigarette consumption through the policy is considered less accurate considering the cigarette control instruments commonly used in various countries is the excise tax. Cigarette consumption has constantly increased and its negative externalities cannot be minimized by the policies on state levies issued by the government, one of which is the policy on the increase in the effective rate of VAT on tobacco products. The increase in rate may not necessarily be a sustainable source of state revenue or a political instrument to reduce the negative impact of cigarette use in the society. In fact, the number of cigarette users still increases even following the rise of cigarettes prices due to insignificant increase in VAT and the excise rates
The Effect of Person-Organization Fit on Turnover Intention with Job Satisfaction as Mediating Variable
No full textCurrently, the sharia banking industry continues to grow and develop. Furthermore, one of the fastest growing sharia banks is Sharia Mandiri Bank (BSM). Every company including sharia banking faces the challenge of attracting, developing, and retaining its employees. This study aims to examine the effect of person-organization-fit (P-O fit) on employee turnover intention in Sharia Mandiri Bank (BSM) by considering job satisfaction as a mediating variable. Multidimensional P-O fit, namely supplementary fit, complementary fit, needs-supplies fit and demands-abilities fit (Piasentin, 2007), Michigan Organizational Assessment Questionnaire (Camman et al. 1979) and Mobley, Horner and Hollingsworth’s (1978) revised model were used to measure P-O fit, job satisfaction and turnover intention. A quantitative survey was conducted on a non-probability (purposive) sample of 100 permanent employees working at PT Bank Syariah Mandiri. Correlation, multistage regression and bootstrap were used to test the direct and mediating relationship between key variables. The results uncovered that there is a moderate negative correlation between P-O fit and turnover intention, a strong positive correlation between P-O fit and job satisfaction, and a moderate negative correlation between job satisfaction and turnover intention. The simple regression analysis showed that P-O fit is a significant predictor of job satisfaction and both P-O fit and job satisfaction were significant predictors to turnover intention. Bootstrapping test revealed a statistical support for the indirect effect of P-O fit on turnover intention through job satisfaction. Moreover, the results of multistage regression analysis confirm that job satisfaction significantly mediated the relationship between P-O fit and turnover intention as a full mediator. The results and implications of the study are discussed and recommendations for future research are addressed

No full textDue to their rapid development, technology and internet are widely used in business, particularly for marketing. Internet marketing generates numerous benefits. This study illustrates and analyzes the potential of internet marketing for Small and Mendium enterprises (SMEs) working on Indonesian traditional fabrics in three regions: Palembang, Solo, and Banjarmasin. The study focuses on the extent to which SMEs working on traditional fabrics in these districts apply internet marketing, mapping the potential, and providing recommendations related to a better preparation of internet marketing for SMEs to tackle competition on a global level. This study applies post-positivist paradigm by using qualitative methods. The data are collected through in-depth interviews with SMEs and the governments in the three regions. To analyze the internet marketing applied by SMEs working on traditional fabrics, this study applies the theory of Kotler and Armstrong (2012) whose indicators are: creating/designing an effective website, carrying out online promotion, creating/participating in marketing and web community, and using email. The findings can be categorized into technical and non-technical findings. Technical findings show that SMEs in these cities have not applied internet marketing or online marketing optimally. Several SMEs in Solo already have social media and websites but the majority of SMEs in two other cities simply use social media (Instagram and Facebook), BBM, and WhatsApp as media for promotion. Non-technical findings show several important elements to develop in order to achieve successful internet marketing in SMEs, namely human resources, the role of associations, the role of the government, and the value of traditional fabrics
Analysis of Proportion Calculation for Domestic Product in Modern Retail Indonesia
No full textThe increasing market for retail industry in Indonesia faces a challenge poses by sellers’ preference towards the selling of domestic goods. In order to overcome this problem, the government issues a mandate for retailer to sell domestic products as high as 80% of their traded goods. This may raise ineffectiveness in terms of the implementation since the capabilities in stock management varies among retailers, added with the absence of clear technical guidance that determines the fulfilment of 80% domestic product to be traded by a retailer. As such, there is a need to provide case-based recommendations addressing the governance and technical specification of the mandate to be applied. This study is aimed at formulating guideline to fulfil calculation requirements and providing policy recommendation for policy adoption by retailers. The study is done in 2016, whereby data collection is performed through interviews and focus group discussions with relevant parties representing 15 modern retailers. Analysis is done by carrying out stock keeping unit analysis in modern retailer and triangulate preliminary results through focus group discussion with key persons. The analysis shows that stock keeping unit management in modern retail must be integrated with a unique code that identifies the manufacturer origin which is issued by global standardization and distribution institution. In addition, the proposed system needs to be supported with policy of International unique code registration process, both by manufacturer and modern retail. In keeping with the refinement of relevant policy, there is also a need to have coordination amongst responsible authorities.
