Abstract

New challenges face Thailand's economy as it exits the factory age and struggles towards higher value-added economic activities. One important component of new economic development will be encouraging more foreign investment, particularly in the provinces of the country away from Bangkok. China is becoming an increasingly important investment and trade partner for Thailand and the creation of an industrial estate in the northern province of Chiang Rai is in part intended to encourage additional Chinese investment in the country. However, providing space alone is insufficient to understand the need of investors, including their current and future demand for skilled labour. This paper reports on a program of qualitative research featuring in depth interviews of Chinese business-owners and relevant government officials and others aimed at understanding the style and nature of management among Chinese business owners and, hence, to make preparations for future labour market requirements.

Abstract

The halal food industry holds significant promise in the global market, with its importance extending beyond Islamic countries to encompass secular nations and Muslim minorities. Indonesia is a critical player in this industry's development with its substantial Muslim population. The Halal Product Assurance Organizing Body(BPJPH) is pivotal in advancing the halal food sector among urban Muslims in Indonesia. This study examines the role and challenges BPJPH faces in this context and proposes strategies for strengthening its position to enhance the industry's success. This study employs a qualitative approach to investigate the role of BPJPH in fostering the halal industry in Lampung, Indonesia. Data was gathered through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with halal industry players and relevant stakeholders. Data analysis was conducted thematically while adhering to ethical research principles. The findings underscore the significant role of BPJPH in improving the quality of halal products, enhancing consumer confidence, and providing trusted halal certification. Moreover, through outreach and training, BPJPH increases industry awareness and knowledge about correct halal practices. BPJPH must improve infrastructure, human resources, and stakeholder collaboration to maximize its impact. The study concludes that BPJPH can potentially strengthen Indonesia's halal industrial ecosystem, contributing to economic growth and societal welfare. However, challenges persist, necessitating concerted efforts from BPJPH and stakeholders to innovate and sustain the industry's growth. This research provides valuable insights for developing the halal food industry and underscores the crucial role of BPJPH in ensuring its success.
