Abstract

This study analyzed the marketing strategies of Islamic universities in North Sumatra in strengthening institutional competitiveness through a quantitative approach using structural equation modeling (SEM). A total of 125 respondents participated, and the findings revealed that brand image (0.401), value-based marketing strategy (0.321), and service quality (0.276) significantly contributed to university competitiveness. Mediation analysis further showed that student transformative experience provided a strategic pathway, with notable contributions from brand image (0.356), marketing strategy (0.287), and service quality (0.242). These results underscore that creating meaningful student experiences serves as a critical driver in enhancing the competitive positioning of higher education institutions. The novelty of this study lies in developing a conceptual framework that explicitly integrates marketing strategies with the Islamic spiritual context, thereby challenging the traditional paradigm that views higher education marketing solely from a transactional or utilitarian perspective. By embedding spiritual and value-based principles into branding and service quality, the framework highlights how Islamic universities can differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive global academic landscape. Practically, the study provides a strategic blueprint for university management, encompassing value-based branding, innovative communication, enhanced service quality, and the cultivation of transformative student experiences. Beyond producing intellectually capable graduates, the findings stress the importance of nurturing individuals who are spiritually grounded and adaptable to global change. This integrative approach positions Islamic universities not only as centers of academic excellence but also as institutions of character formation and moral leadership in society.

Abstract

This study explores the role of the Mandailing community in Medan in supporting the Islamic economy through ethical and sustainable sharia-based practices. Using a qualitative approach, the study involved 35 informants from various backgrounds to explore their understanding, involvement, and challenges in implementing sharia economic principles. The results indicate that the Mandailing community has a high level of acceptance of sharia values, solidarity, and kinship relations, which serve as a social network that supports business management. Education and training focused on sharia financial literacy have proven effective in increasing understanding and trust in sharia financing products. However, limited access to sharia financial institutions remains a major obstacle to the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study emphasizes the need for collaboration between the government and financial institutions to improve access to financing and demonstrates that a sharia-based economic approach among the Mandailing community can create equitable and sustainable prosperity.
