This study aims to determine the influence of in-store promotion in the form of price discount and price package on customer value and purchase intention. The research sample was 120 consumers purchasing the private label products in modern stores using a purposive sampling technique. The data were then analyzed using SEM PLS. The result revealed that all hypotheses were accepted and each variable studied showed a strong and significant influence on each other, especially in terms of its influence on the purchase intention. In-store promotion is a more influencing variable of purchase intention in private label products than customer value. The result also pointed out the three most dominant items forming in-store promotion, customer value, and purchase intention. Those items are the frequency of discount program, the products’ quality, and the reference group that helps the company promoting private label products, usually friends’ recommendation. These findings are expected to be used by decision-makers in retail businesses to formulate in-store promotional activities and create customer value following the target market to increase consumers’ willingness to buy private label products.

Umrah is one of the Muslim pilgrimage journeys to the holy city of Makkah. Many Umrah agents provide good services to attract customers. One of the crucial aspects for Umrah agents is service operation quality. The study aims to investigate the influence of service operations on the value, trust, and commitment of Umrah pilgrims in Jakarta, Indonesia. This paper uses a quantitative approach and employs SEM-PLS to analyze the data. Data were collected through an online questionnaire from 425 respondents. The respondents are Umrah pilgrims who performed their pilgrimage before 2019 through agents registered in Jakarta. However, only 370 responses qualified. The results show a strong relationship between service operations and customer value, trust, and commitment. There is also a relationship between customer value and customer commitment and between customer trust and customer commitment. Service operations also have an influence on commitment with trust as a mediator. However, service operations do not influence commitment when mediated by customer value. The practical implication of this study is that Umrah agents should increase their service operation, particularly information technology-based services, add Islamic and social values, and increase the cognitive commitment among customers.

Engaging in academic entrepreneurship enhances the potential for academics to generate scientific advancements, capitalize on findings, and create impactful contributions. This study examines how organizational support affects the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and role integration on academic entrepreneurship performance at state universities in Indonesia. The population includes lecturers from eleven state universities with research results that can be commercialized. A purposive sampling method selected 330 respondents, focusing on science and social sciences lecturers with research at a technological readiness level of 6 to 9, demonstrating pilot stages and commercialization readiness based on national assessments. Data analysis used variance-based structural equation modeling and partial least squares (PLS). The findings indicate that entrepreneurial orientation significantly affects academic entrepreneurship performance (p < 0.05), and role integration significantly affects academic entrepreneurship performance (p < 0.05). Additionally, organizational support moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and academic entrepreneurship performance (p < 0.05), and organizational support moderates the relationship between role integration and academic entrepreneurship performance (p < 0.05).
