Inflation is a tendency to increase the price level continuously, which can affect individuals, businesses, and government, while the amount of capital goods demanded (investment) is highly dependent on the interest rate (interest) as a measure of the cost of funds used to finance the investment. That is why if interest rates are high, then investment or projects are less compared to when interest rates are low. This study uses simple linear regression analysis to predict and predict changes in the value of certain variables when other variables change. Correlation is one of the statistical analysis techniques used to find the relationship of how strong the relationship between one variable with other variables that are quantitative. By using a linearity test where f count > f tabel is 26.70046 > 3.885 Then, Ho is rejected. This means that a simple linear regression analysis can be used to predict Bank Indonesia interest rate fluctuations by analyzing the inflation rate in Indonesia. Obtained a simple linear regression equation is Y = 4.4292 + 0.479694X, the relationship of the independent variables and the dependent variable above is 0.830618 with the relationship is superior correlation, the scale ranges from 0.76 to 1.00. ie where t count > t table = 5.1672 > 2.179, then Ho is rejected, meaning that there is a large (significant) influence between the BI interest rate on the inflation rate in Indonesia, the higher the BI interest rate, the greater the inflation in the State of Indonesia.

The objective of this study was to propose and empirically examine a consolidative conceptual model which tests the effect of perceived quality, brand awareness, perceived value and brand uniqueness on brand loyalty and the effect of brand loyalty on positive WOM. The study adopted a quantitative methodology involving data collection through structured questionnaire from 410 young consumers of national brands by adopting convenience sampling technique. Structured Equation Modelling was used to analyse the data through AMOS 24. The empirical results support the predictions of this study. The findings revealed that perceived quality, brand awareness, perceived value and brand uniqueness have positive relationship with brand loyalty. Moreover, brand loyalty was positively related to the positive WOM. The current study makes its significant contribution to the field of brand management by investigating effect of four dimensions of brand equity on brand loyalty. In addition, the study provides new insights to literature and practice by investigating the effect of brand loyalty on positive WOM. The findings of this study will help brand managers and marketers to identify the appropriate and effective strategies to establish and improve the consumer brand loyalty.

Some Hellenic wineries have succeeded, after a concerted effort during the last decade, to create quality products and the infrastructure to gain recognition of international markets. They set aside the traditionally cheap wine which was offered for decades, and they have focused on quality wine that highlights the particular characteristics and varieties of the Greek land. They are constantly awarded in major international competitions for their quality, authenticity and diversity.

In 2009, for the first time in the history, Greek winemaking sector developed a strategic marketing plan so as Greek wine to acquire its own unique identity that will make it recognizable internationally. It also identified the target countries to which export efforts should focus. Greek wine prevails in the Greek market with rates above 90% but exports are stagnating in volume. It is encouraging though that there is a remarkable growth in the value of exports. Therefore, there are large margins of development for an economic activity that is estimated to consist of about 1200 wineries, 180.000 growers and thousands of executives and employees. Among the pioneers of the new era, the ‘Gerovassiliou Winery’ shows the way for the development of an industry that is active in an extremely competitive environment and in an economy experiencing a significant recession in recent years. Extroversion is the keyword for Hellenic wineries, which at the same time should maintain their dominant position on the Greek market against imported wines.

Examination and analysis of the domestic and international market conditions and trends of marketing are key elements for defining the management strategies that should be followed from wineries and the selection of an appropriate marketing mix. This is important for the growth of such companies, which by increasing their profitability and creating new jobs will simultaneously help the Greek economy in the recovery effort.
