Highlights
The transformative power of information technology has moved our society forward and accelerated the transition process of civilization, supported by the swift flow of information, which in turn forced people to have the ability and extensive knowledge to survive the digital era
This rapidly declining rate meant that a huge portion of visitors who came to Gramedia Lembuswana did not make a purchase
The researchers will adopt a previous study by Jaafar et al (2015) which studies the influence of perceived price, store image, advertisement, perceived quality, perceived risk, perceived value, trust, and familiarity toward customers’ purchase intention
Summary
The transformative power of information technology has moved our society forward and accelerated the transition process of civilization, supported by the swift flow of information, which in turn forced people to have the ability and extensive knowledge to survive the digital era. The dawn of the Internet has allowed people to search for a virtually unlimited amount of information needed (Muslim, 2011). Challenges still abound for the company, and some of its most promising branches, such as Gramedia Lembuswana in Samarinda, East Kalimantan, which was ranked fourth in terms of sales growth in 2016 at 11% (the best performing branch outside of Java island), suffered a significant downturn during the calendar year 2017, with a meagre sales growth of 1% (Gramedia, 2018) This rapidly declining rate meant that a huge portion of visitors who came to Gramedia Lembuswana did not make a purchase. The considerable number of visitors who did not make a purchase could be caused by various factors, such as window shopping, price comparison, or reduced buying power, and among other possible reasons This prompts the researchers to look into the possible factors influencing purchase intention at Gramedia Lembuswana. The researchers will adopt a previous study by Jaafar et al (2015) which studies the influence of perceived price, store image, advertisement, perceived quality, perceived risk, perceived value, trust, and familiarity toward customers’ purchase intention
