Abstract

The high spending of Gen Z in Indonesia on food and daily necessities, as well as the considerable amount spent on internet access and phone bills as key monthly expenses, reflects change in their consumption behavior toward basic needs and digital access. This study aims to examine the influence of food reviewers on the purchase intention of halal culinary products among Gen Z in Banda Aceh, with user interaction as a mediating variable. This study used a quantitative method with 100 Gen Z of Banda Aceh City, selected using purposive sampling technique. Data was analyzed using Smartpls 4. The research results shown that food reviewers have a significant effect on user interaction but do not have a direct significant effect on purchase intention. Additionally, user interaction has a significant effect on purchase intention and mediates the relationship between food reviewers and purchase intention. These findings demonstrate that user interaction plays an important role in increasing the purchase intention of halal culinary products among Gen Z in Banda Aceh, providing direction for businesses and food reviewers to develop strategies that can strengthen user interaction and create more effective promotional impact.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of halal certification, product quality, and price on students’ purchase intention towards Kutaradja Fried Chicken at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Syiah Kuala University. A quantitative approach was employed using primary data collected from 100 respondents through questionnaires, selected via purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The findings reveal that product quality and price have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention, while halal certification has a negative and significant effect. This suggests that halal certification is perceived as a basic requirement rather than a differentiating factor among students, whereas product quality and price play a more dominant role in shaping purchasing decisions. Simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence purchase intention. The findings imply that business practitioners should prioritize improving product quality and maintaining competitive pricing strategies, while consistently ensuring halal compliance to sustain consumer trust. Theoretically, this study contributes to consumer behavior literature by highlighting the shifting role of halal certification from a competitive advantage to a hygiene factor in a highly religious context. Practically, it offers insights for local fast-food businesses in designing value-based marketing strategies targeting student consumers. However, this study is limited to a specific sample of students within one faculty and focuses only on three variables, which may not fully capture broader consumer behavior. Future research is recommended to incorporate additional variables and broader populations to enhance generalizability.

Abstract

This community service carries the theme of entrepreneurship and cultural collaboration, which aims to improve the quality of universities. Universities act as centers of academic learning and as agents of positive transformation and foster an entrepreneurial mindset among their students. This activity was carried out by the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Syiah Kuala, in collaboration with the Graduate School of Business, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia. Using Service Learning (SL) and Partnership/Collaboration methods, this program combines entrepreneurship and cultural collaboration, providing a holistic approach to university engagement. Entrepreneurship education has gained significant recognition as a catalyst for innovation, economic growth, and job creation. Cultural collaboration, in parallel, underscores the importance of preserving and celebrating cultural diversity while fostering cross-cultural understanding, which in this program is carried out by rebranding the university in particular and Aceh in general. As the university grows, its commitment to community service remains a cornerstone of its mission to create a better, more inclusive, and culturally enriched society. Future initiatives could explore deeper aspects, such as innovation and sustainable collaboration strategies.

Abstract

The limited economic capacity of rural families often stems from minimal knowledge about local resource utilization and weak home-based business management. This program aimed to enhance family income through education on the production of processed snack foods using locally available ingredients. A service-learning and participatory empowerment approach was implemented with 40 housewives, youth representatives, and micro-entrepreneurs. Training included product innovation, hygiene practices, packaging techniques, and basic financial management. Results indicated a 65% increase in participants’ knowledge of snack processing techniques, and 75% began producing or selling snack products within one month post-training. Proper education accompanied by mentoring can effectively transform local agricultural commodities into marketable food products, thereby contributing to household income enhancement and sustainable community-based entrepreneurship.
