Indonesia’s skincare market is expanding quickly, yet ongoing concerns about overstated claims continue to threaten consumer trust and the effectiveness of digital persuasion. Using the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S–O–R) framework, this study examines how influencer credibility, trustworthiness, and attractiveness, along with online customer reviews, influence purchase intention, while positioning brand awareness as a mediator. The research adopted a quantitative, causal-comparative approach with non-probability, judgmental sampling. Data were gathered from 366 residents of Batam City who had purchased, or planned to purchase, local skincare products after encountering influencer content and online reviews between December 2024 and March 2025. Analysis was conducted using SEM-PLS in SmartPLS 4.0. Findings show that all stimulus variables significantly and positively enhance brand awareness, with online customer reviews emerging as the strongest driver of this effect. Brand awareness has a significant positive influence on purchase intention and fully mediates the relationships between each stimulus factor and purchase intention. The results highlight brand awareness as a key cognitive pathway that translates digital marketing inputs into consumer intent to purchase. In practice, local skincare firms should collaborate with credible influencers and strategically cultivate genuine reviews to enhance long-term brand awareness and mitigate skepticism associated with overclaiming.

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the business landscape due to the implementation of PSBB policies. The pandemic restricted activities in areas affected by the virus, resulting in substantial changes in consumer behaviour. There was a surge in demand for telecommunications products and services as individuals and businesses adapted to remote work and online interactions. These changes have positively impacted the financial performance of telecommunications companies. However, these companies face challenges in operations and principles. ESG encompasses social and environmental responsibility and ethical corporate governance that affect their profitability. Profitability assesses a company's ability to generate revenue from operations using gross profit margin, net profit margin, return on assets, and return on equity. Other analytical techniques have also been used, such as horizontal analysis, which compares data across periods, and vertical analysis, which evaluates components of financial statements. This study also uses variance analysis, trend analysis, and documentation on secondary data. 2019 to 2023: The financial statements of four major telecommunications companies are the samples used in this study. This study shows that gross profit margin, net profit margin, return on assets, and return on equity have significant differences or similarities before, during, and after the pandemic.

This study aims to analyze and explain the effect of board diversity, competitive advantage, and firm size on firm value in basic materials sector companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2022. The sample of this study used 30 companies from a population of 42 companies that met the sampling criteria, and this study used Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The results show that board diversity has a negative and significant effect on firm value, competitive advantage has a positive and significant effect on firm value, and firm size has a positive and significant effect on firm value. Board diversity has a significant negative effect on firm value, highlighting the importance of consideration in the formation of an inclusive and diverse board composition. On the other hand, the finding that competitive advantage and firm size have a significant positive effect on firm value suggests that internal factors such as economies of scale, capital requirements, and firm size play an important role in determining firm value. These findings provide valuable insights for business practitioners to enhance firm value in the Indonesian natural resources industry.

This research aims to systematically review the literature on the drivers and consequences of the fear of missing out (FOMO) phenomena in the tourism context. This study employed a systematic literature review following PRISMA reporting guidelines. The writers searched the online database Elsevier (Scopus) for scholarly publications published in English that can be accessed throughout the databases. This study does a systematic literature review using data from 56 articles. According to the findings, three elements of antecedents contribute to FOMO in the tourism context: electronic word of mouth, reference groups, and perceived loneliness. Then, three variables are the results of the FOMO: intention to seek information, intention to visit, and positive well-being.

Tourism enterprises will likely be able to use the FOMO phenomenon as an advertising tool that will influence the emergence of motivation to visit and create new experiences for travelers. For travelers, the FOMO phenomenon is predicted to be a personal motivation, particularly in meeting the desire for self-esteem and avoiding undesirable attributes such as fear and loneliness.
