Since receiving the spotlight as a country with several world-class Halal Tourism awards, Indonesia has begun to focus on developing Muslim-friendly tourism comprehensively. West Sumatra is one of the provinces that has become the focus of the Indonesian Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy as a Muslim-friendly tourist destination in Indonesia with the aim to provide Muslim-friendly tourism services for the global Muslim community.

The government has been attracting foreign food manufacturers to venture into the country's market; this includes snacks from Taiwan, one of them being Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks. The public has been highly critical of Shihlin's food products of late due to doubts about its halal status and compliance with halal standards in manufacturing and supply chain activities. The company responded to the public's concern by obtaining the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) halal certification, increasing prices and affecting consumers' willingness to pay. In the form of a case study, this research aims to analyse the factors that influence Muslim consumers' willingness to pay for Taiwanese snacks in Indonesia, specifically Shihlin Taiwan Street Snacks. A total of 326 Indonesian Muslims took part in our survey, which data was analysed using SmartPLS. The study results revealed that animal slaughter, halal logos, price consciousness, food quality, and religious commitment positively influence Muslim consumers' willingness to pay for the snacks. The findings can benefit halal food companies in formulating strategies to guarantee consistent compliance of the halal standards in the manufacturing processes. Besides, we urge halal food regulators to provide better clarity in developing the halal and tayyib food criteria to earn better trust and confidence from Muslim consumers.

The data processing method used was structural equation modeling.Findings: This study found an indirect positive influence between brand logo and brand image with the mediation of brand personality and brand familiarity. Although the Bank Syariah Indonesia brand logo has a positive effect on halal brand personality, halal brand personality does not mediate the relationship between the brand logo and the brand image of Bank Syariah Indonesia.Originality: This originality offered by this research is by comparing the constructs of brand personality with halal brand personality.Research limitations: Limitations of this research include uneven distribution of...

Research aims: This study aims to examine the predictors of passengers' behavioural intention in using railway services. It also attempts to identify whether these predictors differ among consumers of different age groups. Design/ Methodology/ Approach: A survey is conducted to collect data from the passengers using the KA Commuter Line (KRL) Jabodetabek. The 213 respondents are divided into two age segmentations comprising young and old. Data are analysed separately. The proposed model is tested quantitatively through multiple regression analysis and the independent sample t-test. Research findings: The results show that different age groups have different evaluations and they use different determinants for gauging the railway services. Perceived value emerges as an important determinant of customer satisfaction among the younger age group whereas service quality is the determinant for the older age group. Both groups, however, consider corporate image and customer satisfaction as determinants of behavioural intention. Theoretical contributions/ Originality: This paper contributes to existing research on public transportation from a marketing perspective. It extends on previous works by adopting age segmentation to examine passengers' perception, evaluation and behavioural intention of using the railway services in Jakarta.

The study also examines the moderating role of past piracy behavior on the relationship between the factors in the previously mentioned theories and students’ piracy intention. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected using a convenience sample of 662 university students. Based on their past behaviors, the students were grouped into “no piracy” and “piracy” groups. Findings The result shows that the piracy intention of both the no-piracy and piracy groups has a similar influence based on the moral obligation in ethics theory. The factors in the deterrence theory, which includes fear of legal consequences and perceived likelihood of punishment, have no significant impact on the attitudes of the two groups toward piracy. While the intention of ...

This research attempts to contribute to the understanding of Islamic advertising by investigating ethical advertising from the eyes of Indonesian Muslim consumers. More specifically, this study investigates whether there are differing ethical perceptions of advertisements between Indonesian Muslims of different age, gender, ethnicity, and levels of religiosity. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and independent sample t-test were used to compare the varying perceptions of the respondents towards the Islamic ethical advertising elements.

The dual credibility model which is taken from the marketing communication fields is tested with structural equation modeling using the online survey data of 422 respondents collected during the Indonesian presidential campaign held in 2014. The results suggest that only candidate credibility which has a significant influence on voting intention both directly and indirectly via attitude toward the candidate brand. In contrast, party credibility has no influenced on voting intention in the direct presidential election setting.

There is an especially growing interest in researching Islam, either in comparison with other religions (A. J. Ali & Gibbs, 1998; Fam, Waller, & Erdogan, 2004; Farah & El Samad, 2014; Gibbs & Ilkan, 2008) or as the focus of the research (Cader, 2015; Haque, Ahmed, & Jahan, 2010). However, previous research on the topic of Islamic advertising has been dominated by conceptual papers and research conducted in Middle Eastern contexts (Bari & Abbas, 2011; Hassan, Chachi, & Latiff, 2008; Rice & Al-Mossawi, 2002; Mohammad Saeed, Ahmed, & Mukhtar, 2001). Therefore, this study has the objective of gaining a greater understanding of the perceptions of Islamic advertising to Indonesian Muslim consumers, including the interactions between religion and culture, congruency with their identity, and effects on attitudes and behaviour. Using the paradigm of critical realism, this research us...

Design/methodology/approach A between-subjects experimental design was applied in the study. Six experiments involving two brand familiarity levels and three profit-sharing rates were conducted using a total of 217 samples. Randomization was applied in the study, which generated unequal sample sizes for each group of experiments. Findings The findings of this experimental study demonstrated that Muslim customers’ familiarity with the bank’s brand has a significant impact on their brand trust and intention to invest in an Islamic bank. The study also found that the profit-sharing rate has a significant impact on the perceived value both with and without interaction with brand familiarity. Research limitations/implications The current study applies an independent m...

This study specifically examines an Islamic bank’s term deposits. Design/methodology/approach Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data collected from 217 customers of an Islamic bank in Indonesia using an online survey. Findings This study highlights the central and dual roles of perceived risk as both the independent and the intervening variable that mediates the relationship between product knowledge and Muslim customer intention to invest in an Islamic bank’s term deposits. Research limitations/implications This study only investigates term deposits as one type of investment in Islamic banks. This study contributes to the literature by examining the role of product knowledge, perceived quality, perceived risk and perceived value on Muslim customer intention to invest in Islamic ...

The object of this research was a local cosmetic brand that uses halal positioning. Data was collected through survey to 217 respondents with judgmental sampling technique. The respondents were Muslim women who have never made a purchase and use cosmetics that became the object of research. The results show that religiosity and knowledge have positive and significant effects on consumer attitude to buy cosmetic product with halal positioning. However, the influence of religiosity on consumer attitudes is much greater than the influence of knowledge on consumer attitudes towards cosmetics with halal positioning. This study also shows that consumer attitudes have a significant positive effect on consumer intentions to buy cosmetics with halal positioning.
