Judul: Analisis dan evaluasi faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku pembelian franchise (Waralaba) studi kasus Alfamart Wilayah Jabotabek
Abstrak: Menjamurnya pertumbuhan minimarket seperti Alfamart, Indomaret, Starmart, Circle K, dan lain-lain kemudian pasar swalayan, toserba, dan pusat perbelanjaan eksklusif seperti Golden Truly, Hero, Sogo dan lain-lain, sebagai salah satu jaringan retail modern, menunjukkan situasi persaingan semakin seru. Retail yang modern merupakan sarana yang tepat untuk memperluas jangkauan pemasaran dengan frekuensi perputaran barang dan modal yang cepat. Strategi pangsa pasar yang biasa dilakukan oleh pedagang eceran skala besar adalah dengan membuka cabang (chain store). Salah satu pola yang marak dikembangkan saat ini yaitu melalui pola waralaba (franchising). Potensi pasar bisnis waralaba sangat besar terlihat dari usaha-usaha franchise yang bermunculan di tanah air, baik lokal maupun asing. Usaha franchise di Indonesia mencatat pertumbuhan yang sangat menggembirakan. Data yang ada menyebutkan, usaha franchise dan business opportunity tahun 2004 sebanyak 166 usaha. Setahun berikutnya (2005) angka tersebut melonjak tajam menjadi 273 usaha atau mengalami kenaikan sekitar 60% yang sepertiganya menawarkan jenis franchise. Adapun tujuan penelitian ini, yaitu: (1) memformulasikan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku pembelian franchise Alfamart, (2) mendeskripsikan atribut-atribut yang dianggap penting oleh franchisee pada franchise yang ditawarkan, (3) mengidentifikasi dan mengevalusi sikap franchisee Alfamart terhadap atribut franchise Alfamart dalam rangka perbaikan strategi franchise yang telah diterapkan PT. Sumber Alfaria Trijaya terhadap outlet Alfamart. Dalam penelitian ini diambil 40 orang responden Data primer yang diperoleh kemudian diolah dengan analisis faktor, dan analisis sikap multiatribut fishbein dengan bantuan software SPSS 11.5 for windows dan Microsoft Excel. Hasil dari analisis faktor dari 25 variabel yang diteliti menunjukkan adanya enam faktor utama yang terbentuk yaitu faktor pendorong/pengaruh utama, faktor sistem dan informasi franchise, faktor analisis keuangan franchisee, faktor citra perusahaan, dan faktor citra produk franchise

Judul: Strategi Pengembangan Usaha Bisnis Franchise dalam bidang fastfood (Studi kasus sebuah bisnis franchise fastfood di Kota Bogor)
Abstrak: Business franchising is a business activity in the retail sale of goods with various types, which is very popular and growing rapidly. The system of this kind of business have been designed and easy to be duplicated. However, in practice is not that easy as expected. The objectives of this research are describe consumer perception, describe the development efforts and arrange a bisnis strategic for RFC restaurant. Analysis for consumers perception conducted by important Performance Analysis (IPA), resulting the average value of interest rate 2.39 and the average value of the performance level 2.60. To determine the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats using Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) method and External Factor Evaluation (EFE) method. The result of internal factors analysis obtained by weighting score was 2,445 meanwhile the score of external factors analysis was 2.506. Internal External (IE) RFC restaurant occupies a position in the cell V, which means that the company is in a position hold and maintain. For overall strategic analysis was operating by matrix SWOT and the findings then was used in designing strategies and programs of works. QSPM was used to determine the best strategic for company development, which recomends to increase promotional activities through social media, distributing flyers and increase sponsorship.

Judul: Hybrid solar cells of ZnO nanoparticles/chlorophyll was modified metal ions (Zn2+ and Cu2+ )
Abstrak: Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is a n-type semiconductor with a wide the energy band (Band Gap) is 3.37 eV at room temperature and 3.34 eV at low temperature with a large exiton binding energy is 60 meV. ZnO has been synthesized by hydrothermal method, resulting in a decrease in particle size over the duration of the hydrothermal changes. Crystallographic structure of ZnO were characterized using XRD, has shown the characteristic pattern of a hexagonal wurtzite structure, the crystallite size increases to changes in particle size. Changes in particle size has also led to a change in the absorption peak of ZnO as has been demonstrated posted under test using the optical properties of UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of this uptake has also led to changes in the energy band gap, which increases its band gap energy of the particle size. In electronic applications, especially in solar cells. Chlorophyll is considered less effective, because of their very nature are easily degraded as a result of several reactions which are acid, lighting and temperature. The results of the stability test using a halogen lamp 34 W/m2 for 5 hours, that the substitution of chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form more stable than natural chlorophyll. The characterization of the optical properties, the combination of ZnO / chlorophyll in the form of hybrid films has led to a shift in the absorption region of ZnO becomes more widely from the UV to Visible. ZnO/chlorophyll has absorption range of 350-515 nm, ZnO / Zn-feofitin 332-401 nm and 332-632 nm for Cu-feofitin. The combination of ZnO/chlorophyll and CuSCN as a solid electrolite in hybrid solar cell, a modified chlorophyll with metal ions Zn2+ and Cu2+ has been shown to form a more stable I-V curve. It is characterized by its fill factor value greater than natural chlorophyll. Nevertheless, solar cells with natural chlorophyll has been able to produce higher efficiency values of chlorophyll were substituted.
