Abstract

This research investigate the relationship between company performance and supply chain orientation elements in halal small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The advised supply chain orientation model combines three elements to identify company performance, i.e., top management support, credibility, and commitment. 511 halal SMEs in Kazakhstan were examined; 266 responses were acquired and tested using the SEM-PLS method. The findings reveal that supply chain stakeholders’ credibility has the most significant influence on company performance in the light of halal SMEs. At the same time, commitment and top management support display weaker effects, while they significantly affect company performance. This paper provides a model for leaders in halal industry to enhance their business activities based on supply chain orientation elements to improve company performance.

Abstract

The current COVID-19 epidemic unveils the vulnerability in the apparel supply chain (ASC). Many workforces are facing future uncertainty due to pandemic-driven job losses. This study aims to comprehend the causes of societal sustainability deficiency in the ASC in Muslim-majority countries and propose strategies supporting a suitable improvement.  Information gathered from experts using a qualitative research method; reveals that the primary cause of the lack of societal sustainability is the dominating power of several brands in the ASC. The usage of contract workforce and illegal subcontracting of apparel production also disrupt the protocol of societal compliance. Besides, the lack of application of Islamic ethics in business operations leads to poor labor conditions causing disruption in labor-societal security. The study proposes that it is imperative to adopt a sustainable procurement framework that integrates the sharing of disturbance risks among suppliers and brands post-COVID-19 crisis. It is also crucial to prohibit suppliers operate illegal subcontracting of apparel manufacture. Besides, brands’ order allocation plans and supplier selection must be adjusted to enable the workforce’s societal security. Contribution from labor unions and NGOs must be urged to achieve the grassroots level in community development schemes. As this study involves the Muslim-majority context, mitigation strategies from the Islamic ethics perspective are also considered helpful for solving societal sustainability issues in the ASC.

Abstract

Almost a quarter of the world's population is Muslim; thus, the Islamic clothing industry is an important global business segment. Despite the immense and emerging market size of the Islamic clothing industry worldwide, there is still a scarcity of research concentrated on Islamic clothing products in the field of supply chain risk management. No previous studies comprehensively examine and provide a systematic agenda to alleviate risks in the Islamic clothing supply chain (ICSC) management. The study presents the best–worst method to examine the ICSC's risks. Through an in-depth literature review and specialists' points of view, the study identifies critical risks in the ICSC and ranks them based on their importance. The proposed findings support corporate leaders, researchers, and policymakers, focusing on the Islamic clothing business, to continually examine the risks significantly influencing their ICSCs. Firms can concentrate on the most significant supply chain risks and build effective alleviation strategies.

Abstract

FinTech is a trendy topic that has increased rapidly in Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries, where Muslim consumers desire to use banking services in a Sharia conforming way. Thus, the research seeks to examine the effect of FinTech applied by Islamic banks of OIC countries on consumer retention.  The Islamic banking system in OIC nations has mainly been in the foreground in carrying FinTech to its operations at the initial phase. Although consumers typically do not select Islamic banks for technologies, the study tries to investigate the effect of FinTech in maintaining consumers. Data collection uses the strata sampling method; online questionnaires are spread and collected from 317 customers of chosen banks in OIC countries. SPSS 25.0 analyzes statistical data via numerous examinations such as regression analysis, factor analysis, sample adequacy, and reliability analysis. The results show that compliance, consulting services, and payments of FinTech affect consumer retention. However, financing services considered vital in conventional banks do not significantly influence consumer retention. The research tries to help Islamic banks satisfy their consumers by using FinTech applications and helping FinTech firms enhance their finance amenities.
