Abstract:
Kotler
and Armstrong state that competitive advantage is an advantage gained by
offering lower value or by providing greater benefits due to higher prices.
Ironically, the importance of competitiveness has faded with decades of great
expansion and prosperity, resulting in many companies losing sight of
competitive advantage in the struggle to further develop in pursuit of
diversification. Porter pointed out that there are several strategies that can
be developed by companies such as increasing product differentiation, cheaper
prices than competitors, good delivery systems, and easier payment systems as
well as alternative strategies that can be developed, namely by increasing
capital for business development, adding production equipment machinery, and
training programs for employees. At this time Gojek
and Grab are growing rapidly in running online transportation. Where Gojek and Grab dominate the market share in Indonesia,
especially in Jember Regency. Of the many online
transportation circulating on social media, gojek and
grab are very widely used by consumers.
Keywords: Strategy,
competitive advantage.

INTRODUCTION
In
this rapid technological development, Indonesia is undergoing a transformation
in terms of transportation due to increasingly modern technological developments.
This can be seen from the emergence of online-based transportation models in
big cities in Indonesia, such as Gojek, derived from
applications created by the nation's children. Gojek
is a company engaged in online transportation services that are often used by
people to get to the intended place. Connected with an application to meet with
consumers. Changes in people's lifestyles that are increasingly advanced make
business people start competition in the online transportation business. Therefore,
it is imperative for entrepreneurs to think of the right competition strategy
for their business so that they can meet effective goals. This second
development makes other online transportation companies
glance and cannot match the gojek and grab. The
problem sought is to analyze the advantages of the strategy used by Gojek and Grab so that it is widely used among the public.
To look for comparisons in competitive advantage. How to analyze the
competitive advantages of gojek and grab companies.
The
popular term for this core idea is generic strategy.� From the scheme described by Michael Porter,
many planners believe that any long-term strategy should be derived from a
company's efforts to gain competitive advantage based on one of the following
three generic strategies (Muchson & Kumar, 2023).
a) Achieve overall low-cost leadership in the industry.
b) Creating and marketing unique
(distinctive) products for different groups of customers through
differentiation.
c) Cater to the specific needs
of one or several groups of consumers or industrial buyers, focusing on their
cost or differentiation.
Currently,
the number of vehicles in Jember Regency is
increasing because the population is increasing from year to year. From data
taken from the development of the number of vehicles by vehicle type based on Jember resort police records. ( Satlantas Polres Jember, accessed 2022).
The increase in the
number of vehicles from year to year causes congestion
in Jember City. To overcome congestion problems every
year to year, the government provides infrastructure for public transportation
facilities such as pedicabs, damri buses, car
transportation, trains, motorcycle taxis and others. The presence of public
transportation that is often used by the community makes it meet the needs of the
community. One of the public transportation that is
often used by the community both among teenagers and adults is online
motorcycle taxis. Which currently meets the market share and is in great demand
in Jember Regency, namely gojek
and grab.
In this rapid
technological development, Jember Regency is
undergoing a transformation in terms of transportation due to increasingly
modern technological developments. This can be seen from the emergence of
online-based transportation models in big cities in Indonesia, such as gojek, derived from applications created by the nation's
children. Gojek is a company engaged in online
transportation services that are often used by people to get to the intended
place. Connect with an application to meet with consumers. Changes in people's
lifestyles that are increasingly advanced make business people start
competition in the online transportation business. Therefore, it has become
imperative for entrepreneurs to think of the right competition strategy for their
business so that they can meet effective goals. This second development makes
other online transportation companies glance and cannot match the gojek and grab (Munandar & Munthe, 2019).
Gojek is a technology company from Indonesia that
serves transportation through ojek services. The company was founded in 2010 in
Jakarta by Nadiem Makarim.
Currently, gojek is available in 50 cities in
Indonesia. Until June 2016, the Gojek application has
been downloaded almost 10 million times. Gojek also
has a digital payment service called gopay. In addition to Indonesia, gojek
services are now available in Thailand, Vietnam and Singapore. On May 17, 2021,
Tokopedia and Gojek announced the official merger and
formed the GoTo Group (Prananda et al., 2020).
Gojek does not want to stop as an online-based
transportation company, but transform as a financial technology (fintech) company through gopay. At the end of 2016 Gojek
acquired ponselpay, a financial company owned by MVComerce that
already has an electronic money (e-money)
license from Bank Indonesia. Gojek needs the license
to develop the gopay they have developed to become emoney.
While Grab is a technology
company originating from Singapore which was originally founded in Malaysia.
Starting from transportation services, the company now has other services such
as food delivery and payment that can be accessed via mobile applications. In
Indonesia, Grab serves vehicle orders such as ojek (grabbike),
car (grabcar), taxi (grabtaxi),
courier (grabexpress), food delivery (grabfood), and carpooling (grabhitch
car). Grab is currently available in 125 cities across Indonesia, from Banda
Aceh-Aceh to Jayapura-Papua. (Understanding Grab, accessed 2022). Here are the
advantages of gojek and grab based on the form of
application and comments from resource persons in Jember
Regency.

From
the table above, it can be concluded that Gojek has a
feature service that makes it easier for users or users to choose their needs
or wants, can order services once 2 drivers at the same time, food store services� or food merchants enter the
application� more or have been recorded
into the gojek application, for drivers it takes a
little time to find drivers. Gojek's competitive
advantage itself in terms of cost offers a relatively low price and fits in the
pocket plus� vouchers
that are obtained and if paid with a GoPay digital wallet, �cashback benefits can be obtained.� In terms of
innovation, it offers a much varied service. (Gojek New Feature, accessed 2022).
Grab
has few feature services and is separate from cashless services, can order more
than 1 service at the same time, few� food merchants are registered with�
grab food, for grab easier to
get drivers. Grab's competitive advantage does not want to be outdone by Gojek's saigan. Grab offers many
promos by entering the promo code in your inbox.� In terms of innovation, Grab also has a new
safety center feature while using Grab. The look is changed, and can have 4
orders at once. (Grab's New Feature, accessed 2022).
Gojek
and Grab as two companies that dominate the online
transportation business in Indonesia certainly have differences in serving
consumers or users. Customer satisfaction is one thing that must be considered
in the competition of the online motorcycle taxi transportation service
business both in driver friendliness, driving safety, price suitability,
service quality, and other indicators that can support the level of consumer
satisfaction. The problem of service that supports customer satisfaction is not
a difficult thing to do but is often not paid attention to by many companies,
especially transportation.
Jember
Regency is one of the choices of districts that have the potential to develop
the transportation business. Besides being known as a student city and is a
leading educational city in East Java, Jember is also
known for its rich natural and cultural charm. Seeing the large number of
immigrants from various regions, both as students and tourists, makes the need
for mobility in Jember Regency increase. The presence
of Go-ride and Grabbike in Jember
Regency makes it easy for the people of Jember
Regency, namely students, tourists, employees, employees, traders and the wider
community in general to get transportation quickly, and can always come to the
place they want without having to go to highways, public places, terminals or
bases (Kurniawan et al., 2021).
The first online transportation
to enter Jember Regency was gojek,
namely in August 2017, because the many facilities and services provided by
this transportation service boomed in Jember Regency �so that it had many consumers. Not
long after that, Grab transportation services also appeared which also offered
good facilities and services so that they could compete with Gojek. In this competitive condition, both companies
continue to make efforts to increase customer loyalty. Thus, a strategy is
needed as a differentiation for each company in attracting consumer interest
and in an effort to maintain consumers to continue using the company's services
in the future. This research was conducted to analyze the advantages of the
strategies used by Gojek and Grab so that they are
widely used among the public. To look for comparisons in competitive advantage.
How are the competitive advantages of Gojek and Grab
companies
From the description above, the
formulation of the problem in this study is: (1). What is the current strategy
of gojek and grab advantages?;
(2). How are Gojek and Grab's efforts in increasing
the market in Jember Regency?;
(3). What are the supporting and inhibiting factors of Gojek
and Grab's strategy of excellence in increasing the market in Jember Regency?
RESEARCH METHOD
This research uses a
qualitative approach and this type of research is descriptive. Qualitative
research methods are research that produces descriptive data in the form of written
or spoken words of people or observable behavior. The definition emphasizes
more on the type of data collected in research, namely qualitative descriptive
data. In other words, qualitative research is research that produces
descriptive data and seeks to explore the meaning of a phenomenon based on
existing facts. (Djamal
et al., 2020) Researchers use a
qualitative approach so that researchers can approach directly in the field, to
understand the phenomena that occur in the field both from a comparative
analysis of gojek and grab's advantage strategies in
increasing the market in Jember Regency.� In this
study, researchers also used SWOT analysis (Strenght, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threarts).
RESULTS
AND DISCUSSION
The object of this study is gojek
and grab drivers as well as gojek and grab customers in Jember
Regency. In this study, researchers used SWOT analysis (Strenght, Weakness, Opportunity, and Threarts). SWOT
analysis is one method used to evaluate strengths� (Strenghts), �weaknesses �(Weakneses), opportunities �(Opportunities), and threats
(Threats) in a business speculation.
Some experts say that SWOT analysis is a classic strategy planning instrument
that provides a simple way to estimate the best way to determine a strategy.
This analysis is descriptive and subjective. It is possible that several people
in the organization provide different analysis results in the four parts of the
SWOT analysis. This is very natural to happen, because SWOT analysis is an
analysis that will provide output in
the form of direction not solutions to a problem. Although the directive can be
interpreted as a form of solution, basically the directive / recommendation
produced aims to maintain strength and increase the advantage of existing
opportunities, while reducing shortcomings and avoiding threats. This approach
is based on logic that maximizes strengths and
opportunities� while
minimizing weaknesses� and threats.�
Briefly, SWOT analysis can be applied by analyzing and sorting out
things that affect the four factors. Thus, the results of the analysis can form
a strategic plan based on the results of the analysis of the company's
strategic factors (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) (Rangkuti, 2009).
The target to increase the market in Jember Regency that is good cannot be achieved without the
right strategy. The strategic planning that must be prepared is adjusted to the
values espoused by each company, as well as the company's goals. It must also
consider external situations and conditions, both present and future. Strategic
planning also needs to consider the potential and strengths possessed by the internal
company and must determine the resources needed to achieve company goals.
One of the approaches taken in increasing the
market in Jember Regency is through SWOT analysis.
This analysis is a technique used to quickly highlight the company's strategy
situation. The description of internal factors (strengths and weaknesses) with
external factors (opportunities and challenges) on Gojek
and Grab is as follows:
1. Gojek

Management
Information System (MIS)
Gojek services cannot be felt in suburban
areas, there are too many drivers waiting for orders in one place.
b)

Because
it is based online, it will be difficult to manage drivers, lack of socialization
regarding SOPs and Insurance Guarantees provided by Gojek.
c. Opportunity

d. Threats (Threths)
a)
Competitors;
Gojek is a pioneer in terms of online-based
motorcycle taxis so that it will continue to get resistance from its
competitors. There are often threats and even physical or verbal attacks on gojek drivers by conventional transportation service
providers such as city transportation, taxis, base motorcycle taxis.
b)
User;
The more critical Gojek consumers are for the services
provided. There are still people who cannot use smartphones.� When the weather
is not good, many consumers take advantage of gojek
and grab. Many fictitious orders are detrimental to gojek
driver partners.
c)
Government;
there is zoning applied by Dishub which requires online� transportation to be prohibited from operating.
d)
Media;
The ambiguous nature of the medium is like two blades. Bookings must be through
an application connected to the internet. It is difficult to serve customers when the internet service
provided by the provider is
disrupted.
With
the description of some of the strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and
challenges of gojek above, it can be illustrated
matrix from this gojek SWOT analysis to facilitate
strategies in increasing the right market. Based on the SWOT analysis above,
the calculation can be known as follows:
Strength
� Weakness = 4.30 � 3.60 = 0.70
Odds
� Threat = 4.60 � 3.60 = 1.0
Based
on IFAS and EFAS scanning, the gojek SWOT Matrix can
be described to determine gojek's strategic position,
while the matrix image is as follows:
The space matrix above shows
that the company is in quadrant one, which requires a Growth Strategy. The
company is well positioned to use its internal strengths to (1) take advantage
of external opportunities, (2) address internal weaknesses, and (3) avoid
external threats. This position is very advantageous because the company has
opportunities and internal strengths that are greater than existing weaknesses
and threats. So the company needs a strategy to grow
better and can develop the company for the better (Growth Oriented Strategy).
The
alternative strategies obtained from the SWOT matrix are then adjusted to the
strategies that have been formulated in the matrix, namely Growth And Build Strategy, namely:
a. Market Penetration Strategy
by means of
1) Continue to innovate for
the improvement of Internal applications by utilizing the many new applications

a) The tariff price is cheaper
than competitors.
b) The GrabNow
app makes it easy to order.
c) Faster service because
there are many drivers available
d) There are always system
changes in improving services.
2. Weakness
a)
The
existence of fake GPS applications that harm other drivers
b)
The
pick-up point is too far during rush hour due to high demand.
c)
Still
lack of driver understanding of GrabNow app
d)
Drivers
often cancel orders because the price is not as expected with the distance
traveled.
3. Opportunity
a) The higher ojol users because of the promo price system.
b) Can be picked up to a place
that cannot be passed by a car

b) It will trigger a commotion
in certain areas because of doing GrabNow in the base
ojek area.
c) The absence of
sportsmanship between drivers in seeking orders (the presence of tuyul).
d) Consumers feel sorry for
drivers because the price paid is below the standard price so that consumers
move to competitors at reasonable prices.
With
the description of some of Grab's strengths, opportunities, weaknesses, and challenges
above, a matrix can be drawn from Grab's SWOT analysis to facilitate strategies
in increasing the right market. The calculation can be known as follows:
Strength � Weakness = 4.60 � 4.20 = 0.40
Odds � Threats = 4.30 � 4.10 = 0.20
Based
on IFAS and EFAS scanning, the SWOT grab matrix can be described to determine
grab's strategic position, while the matrix image is as follows:
The
space matrix above shows that the company is in quadrant one, which requires a
Growth Strategy. The company is well positioned to use its internal strengths
to (1) take advantage of external opportunities, (2) address internal
weaknesses, and (3) avoid external threats. This position is very advantageous
because the company has opportunities and internal strengths that are greater
than existing weaknesses and threats. So the company
needs a strategy to grow better and can develop the company for the better (Growth Oriented Strategy)
Based
on the results of the SWOT matrix above, it can be seen that the strength
possessed by the grabbike is very much and has a good
opportunity. However, there are threats and weaknesses that need attention to
be able to increase their competitiveness. So the
strategies that can be applied are as follows:
1. Strategi S-O (Strength-Opportunity)
a) Will provide better
services to maintain customer loyalty at lower prices and demand will increase.
b) By being able to pick up
consumers in an environment that can only be passed by motorbikes, it will
provide more value for service to consumers, especially plus the grabnow application will speed up drivers.
c) The wider service area and
more drivers available will provide loyalty to consumers in all areas of Jember Regency
d) The higher the level of
competition between ojol, the IT grab always
increases its strategy to compete until it raises the latest application in the
form of grabnow.
2. Strategi S-T (Strength-Threat)
a) The more advanced the
development of ojol, the more various ojol applications will appear with always competitive
prices, so Grab always raises tariffs that always
attract consumers and drivers to maintain customer loyalty well.
b) There is a conflict between
ojol and ojek pankalan, so
we always maintain which areas are allowed to do or use the grabnow
application without causing chaos in the area.
c) The existence of a tuyul application or fake GPS will harm other drivers and
get orders. Therefore, more drivers are needed so that they can spread to every
area to reduce the actions of unscrupulous GPS parties.
d) Provide bonuses
commensurate with the distance traveled by drivers queuing consumers
3. W-O (Weakness-Opportunity) Strategy
a) The Fake GPS application is
an advantage for unscrupulous drivers who want to quickly get orders, because
the higher the competition anter ojol,
Grab takes anti-Fake GPS actions if doing so will be sanctioned to break up
partners.
b) With such a high demand, a
more accurate pick-up point is needed so that it is faster to meet consumers in
order pick-up, especially in an environment that is only passed by motorbikes.
c) The more ojol drivers who enter until the age of more than 55 years,
the level of use will decrease, so initial training is needed before taking to
the streets to be served to all corners of Jember
Regency.
d) The GrabNow
application makes it easy to meet between drivers and consumers.
4. WT (Weakness-Threath) Strategy
a) Grab will conduct a fake
GPS search and sanction a reprimand or break up so that all drivers will be fair
in seeking orders.
b) Provide the maximum pick-up
distance from the driver point to the consumer. So that service is more
efficient.
c) There is always a
notification every time there is a new application that appears from Grab.
Grab must listen to complaints from partners, namely
drivers who feel the price offered is less than optimal with the current driver
acceptance.a
Gojek
and Grab's Excellence Strategy in Increasing the Market �in Jember Regency
In this case, Gojek in Jember Regency has been
established for approximately 7 years, and Grab has been established for
approximately 5 years, within that period there have been many improvement
efforts made by these two companies. The improvement in question is in the
context of internal interests of the organization as well as to increase the
market, especially in Jember Regency.
But
it turns out that during that period, there were still many obstacles faced. In
addition, there are also many supporting factors that can be a motivation to
advance the existence of these two companies. Here are the factors that become
obstacles in increasing the market in Jember Regency.
The
first supporting factor for gojek, Service; �Based on mobile applications,
so it is easy to access from anywhere, has a wider driver network compared to
other applications, has good service quality management such as: reliability,
responsiveness, guarantee, emphaty, and tangible,
cashless and� cash payment

word-of-mouth publications so that it is very effective and efficient. �Third,� personnel; cooperation with
various� partners such as insurance, offline �shops, many forms of services for driver

first supporting factor is that� fares are cheaper than
competitors.� Second, the GrabNow application makes it
easy to order.� Third, faster service because there are many drivers available. �Fourth, there is always a system change in
improving services.
The
first inhibiting factor of gojek, management� information system (SIM); Gojek services cannot be felt in peripheral areas, there
are too many drivers waiting for orders in one place.� Second, �management;
because it is based online, it will be difficult to manage drivers. �Third, the lack of socialization regarding
SOPs and Insurance Guarantees provided by Gojek.
The
first inhibiting factor for grab is� the existence of fake GPS applications
that harm other drivers. �Second, the pick-up point is too far
during rush hour due to high demand.� Third, drivers still lack understanding
of the GrabNow application. �Fourth, rivers often cancel
orders because the price is not as expected with the distance traveled.
One
of the approaches taken in community economic empowerment is through SWOT
analysis. This analysis is a technique used to quickly highlight the situation
of organizational strategy.
The
company's strategic decisions need to consider internal factors that include
strengths and weaknesses as well as external factors that include opportunities
and threats. Therefore, there needs to be important considerations for SWOT
analysis. In identifying as problems that arise in the company, very careful
research is needed so as to be able to determine a very fast and appropriate
strategy in overcoming problems that arise in the company.
Some
considerations that need to be considered in making decisions include: Strength, �Weakness, �Opportunity, and Threat. �Gojek's
strategy of excellence in increasing the market in Jember
Regency can be described as follows:
1. Strength
Strengths
are resources, skills, or other advantages relative to competitors and market
needs that the company serves or wants to serve. Strengths are specific
competencies that give companies a comparative advantage in the market.

skills or abilities that are a barrier to organizational performance.
Limitations or deficiencies in resources, skills and capacities that seriously
hinder the effective performance of the company. Facilities, financial
resources, management capacity, marketing skills, and brand image can be
sources of weakness.
As
for the first aspect of weakness, the management
information system (SIM); Gojek services cannot be
felt in peripheral areas, there are too many drivers waiting for orders in one
place.� Second, management; because it is based online, it will be
difficult to manage drivers, lack of socialization regarding SOPs and Insurance

to raise Gojek is very strong.
4. Threats (Threths)
Threats
are unfavorable environmental factors in the company if not overcome it will
become an obstacle for the company concerned both now and in the future.
Threats
are a major disruptor to the company's position. The entry of new competitors,
slow market growth, increased bargaining power of important buyers or
suppliers, technological changes, and new or revised regulations can be threats
to a company's success. One of the threats is as follows.
First, competitors; Gojek is a pioneer in terms of online-based motorcycle
taxis so that it will continue to get resistance from its competitors. There
are often threats and even physical or verbal attacks on gojek
drivers by conventional transportation service providers such as city
transportation, taxis, base motorcycle taxis.

Grab's
strategy of excellence in increasing the market in Jember
Regency can be described as follows:
1. Strength �
Strengths
are resources, skills, or other advantages relative to competitors and market needs
that the company serves or wants to serve. Strengths are specific competencies
that give companies a comparative advantage in the market. Strengths lie in
resources, finances, image, market leadership, buyer-supplier relationships,
and other factors. First, the tariff
price is cheaper than competitors. �Second, the GrabNow
application makes it easy to order.� Third, faster service because there are
many drivers available. �Fourth, there is always a system change in
improving services.
2.
Weakness
Weakness
is a lack or limitation in terms of resources that exist in the company, be it
skills or abilities that are a barrier to organizational performance.
Limitations or deficiencies in resources, skills and capacities that seriously
hinder the effective performance of the company. Facilities, financial
resources, management capacity, marketing skills, and brand image.
As
for the first aspect of weakness, the
existence of fake GPS applications that harm other drivers. �Second, the pick-up ducks are too far during
rush hour due to high demand.� Third, there is still a lack of
understanding of drivers towards the GrabNow application.
�Fourth, drivers often cancel orders
because the price is not as expected with the distance traveled.
3.
Opportunity
Opportunities
are various things and situations that are favorable for the company, as well
as tendencies that are one of the sources of opportunities as follows.
First, the� higher ojol
users because of the promo price system.�
Second, it can be picked up to
a place that cannot be passed by a car. �Third, drivers are always available to
remote areas of Jabodetabek. �Fourth, a good opportunity
in crowded places using the GrabNow application.
4.
Threats (Threths)
Threats
are unfavorable environmental factors in the company if not overcome it will
become an obstacle for the company concerned both now and in the future.
Threats
are a major disruptor to the company's position. The entry of new competitors,
slow market growth, increased bargaining power of important buyers or
suppliers, technological changes, and new or revised regulations can be threats
to a company's success. One of the threats is as follows.
First, prices between ojols will be more competitive. �Second, it� will trigger a commotion in certain
areas because of grabnow in the base ojek area.� Third,
there is no sportsmanship between drivers in seeking orders (the presence of tuyul). �Fourth, consumers� feel sorry for drivers because the
price paid is below the standard price so that consumers move to competitors at
reasonable prices.
Based
on the results of the SWOT analysis above, several strategies were obtained to
increase the market in Jember Regency. The strength
possessed by grabbike is very much and has a good
opportunity. However, there are threats and weaknesses that need attention to
be able to increase their competitiveness. So the
strategies that can be applied are as follows:
a) Strategi S-O (Strength-Opportunity)
1) Will provide better
services to maintain customer loyalty at lower prices and demand will increase.
2) Being able to pick up
consumers in an environment that can only be passed by motorbikes will provide
more value for service to consumers, especially plus the GrabNow
application will speed up drivers.
3) The wider service area and
more drivers available will provide loyalty to consumers in all areas of Jember Regency.
4) The higher the level of
competition between ojol, Grab's IT always increases
its strategy to compete until it raises the latest application in the form of GrabNow.
b) Strategi ST (Strength-Threat)
1) The more advanced the
development of ojol, the more various ojol applications will appear with always competitive
prices, so Grab always raises tariffs that always
attract consumers and drivers to maintain customer loyalty well.
2) There is a conflict between
ojol and ojek pankalan, so
we always maintain which areas are allowed to do or use the GrabNow
application without causing chaos in that area.
3) The existence of a tuyul application or fake GPS will harm other drivers and
get orders. Therefore, more drivers are needed so that they can spread to every
area to reduce the actions of unscrupulous GPS parties.
4) Provide bonuses commensurate
with the distance traveled by drivers queuing consumers
c) WO (Weakness-Opportunity) Strategy
1) The Fake GPS application is
an advantage for unscrupulous drivers who want to quickly get orders, because
the higher the competition anter ojol,
Grab takes anti-Fake GPS actions if doing so will be sanctioned to break up
partners.
2) With such a high demand, a
more accurate pick-up point is needed so that it is faster to meet consumers in
order pick-up, especially in an environment that is only passed by motorbikes.
3) The more ojol drivers who enter until the age of more than 55 years,
the level of use will decrease, so initial training is needed before taking to
the streets to be served to all corners of Jember
Regency.
4) The GrabNow
application makes it easy to meet between drivers and consumers.
d) WT (Weakness-Threath) Strategy
1) Grab will conduct a fake
GPS search and sanction a reprimand or break up so that all drivers will be fair
in seeking orders.
2) Provide the maximum pick-up
distance from the driver point to the consumer. So that service is more
efficient.
3) There is always a
notification every time there is a new application that appears from Grab.
4) Grab must listen to
complaints from partners, namely drivers who feel the price offered is less
than optimal with the current driver acceptance.
CONCLUSION
Based
on the results of analysts, Gojek and Grab's strategy
in increasing the market in Jember Regency requires positioning. Positioning is a step of
identification, development, and communication of privileges that are special,
distinctive and unique, different from competitors. Gojek
and Grab companies always make efforts to improve the market, especially in Jember Regency, through improvements made by both
