The rise of social media in today’s digital era is considered important because it helps people communicate and share information online. It is not surprising that ease of sharing information and communicating through social media has an impact on increasing many online activities, including business activities. This phenomenon is an inspiration that researchers can use to uncover the role of social media in Indonesia for business activities by knowing the factors that can influence a social media follower or fans into actual buyers. By surveying users of social media, 546 responses were collected from social media entrepreneurs and social media buyers. The data analysis showed there is enough evidence that social media is being used for business. The frequency of social media usage has strong links to users to use to buy products or do business in that venue. Young people, such as college students, tend to use social media for business more than those with higher levels of education who may already have permanent jobs. Multiple regression analyses have resulted in a proposed model of social media use for business and offers five major factors that influence satisfaction and performance when doing business on social media.
The use of cell phones has undergone a rapid change and will continue to change. Previously used for voice communication in the 1980s, now mobile phones have various functions so that they are known as smartphones. The various functions of this smartphone are not only used for a positive purpose, but also create new problems, such as cyberbullying.

Misuse of smartphone use, especially in the perspective of cyberbullying, can result in disruption of the quality of learning in the classroom and the academic atmosphere on campus. Compared to traditional bullying, cyberbullying can happen anywhere and anytime. Text, photo or video information used in cyberbullies can be delivered directly to the target person. This research aims to study the factors why students conduct cyberbullying and the effects of cyberbullying. The result of analysis shows enough evidence that there is a misuse in the use of smartphones when in the classroom.

Exhibition management is a complex process which is why it is important to understand the elements of the exhibition that attract potential visitors and exhibitors to create a successful exhibition where there are many visitors and exhibitors. There are many factors, e.g., venue facilities, contractors, ease of access, and recreation around the location that plays an important role that form the basis of a successful exhibition. However, there is no consensus among researchers on this issue. Previous research has different arguments as to which factors are more important, although most agree that overall satisfaction with the quality of exhibition services relates to visitor satisfaction. Visitor satisfaction is hypothetically closely related to the dimensions of SERVQUAL and therefore, this study aims to identify components of service quality extracted from previous research that have a significant influence on the quality of exhibitions and therefore increase the source of revenue for exhibition companies. The unit of analysis in this research are organizer companies and their customers. SPSS software used to analyze data and analyze confirmatory factor analysis using SMART-PLS produces a modified SERVQUAL model which shows that non-tangible has the strongest influence on service quality, followed by cluster effect, other and tangible dimensions.
