Abstract

Music tourism, a growing segment of the tourism industry, has significant socio-economic benefits but also poses environmental challenges. This study investigates the relationship between the perceived impact of music tourism and local community support in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, with a particular focus on the moderating effect of psychological egoism. Using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and survey data from 134 local residents, we found that positive perceived impacts of tourism correlate with higher community support. However, psychological egoism influences this relationship, as individuals with higher egoism levels still support music tourism despite recognizing its negative impacts. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational campaigns to promote environmental sustainability and community well-being. Local governments and event organizers should focus on enhancing the positive impacts and mitigating the negative ones to foster sustainable tourism practices that align with conservation goals and contribute to UNESCO Sustainable Development Goal 8.

Abstract

Starbucks was founded in 1971 and is currently the world's largest chain coffee shop. Starbucks invaded Asian countries such as Malaysia, India and Indonesia a long time ago, and Asian countries have emerged as one of the most devoted customers. Brand loyalty is one of the most essential factors in increasing a company's revenue through customer retention. Starbucks' brand loyalty is influenced by several aspects, including pricing, products offered, product quality and taste. The purpose of this research is to determine how Starbucks develops brand loyalty among its customers in Malaysia, India and Indonesia. This survey will also be able to determine whether Asian customers will continue to be devoted Starbucks customers. The survey involved 136 people who are loyal Starbucks consumers from Malaysia, India and Indonesia. The data for this study was collected through online sources and questionnaires. We hope that this study will provide recommendations for increasing brand loyalty among our Asian customers, particularly in Malaysia, India, and Indonesia.

Abstract

In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic has made a significant impact on education around the world. Nevertheless, the governments of these nations have discovered a way to try to alleviate the education crisis during the pandemic by offering online academic classes. Students can continue to study without interfering with their future courses, and they will not underestimate their studies since they have been isolated at home for a long time. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors influencing online academic performance among university students. This study used survey questionnaires, and a total of 155 university students were picked to take part in this research via Google Forms. The results indicate that academic staff responsibilities, ease of use and university guidance are significantly related to online academic performance. However, course design and content, motivation, perceived usefulness and student willingness are not significantly related to online academic performance.

The purpose of this research is to determine how Starbucks develops brand loyalty among its customers in Malaysia, India, and Indonesia. This survey will also be able to determine whether Asian customers will continue to be devoted Starbucks customers. The survey involved 136 people who are loyal Starbucks consumers from Malaysia, India, and Indonesia. The data for this study was collected through online sources and questionnaires. The results of this study reveal that customer contentment, the quality of products and services, and the pricing of food and drinks greatly influence customer behavior and their inclination to remain loyal to the Starbucks brand. Among all the independent factors under consideration, customer satisfaction stands out as the most predominant, surpassing the other two variables. It is suggested for Starbucks to prioritize customer satisfaction by consistently exceeding performance and delivering exceptional, diverse beverage options with valuable pricing to meet and exceed customer expectations.

Abstract

Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd or Perodua was founded in 1993. It is Malaysia's largest and first Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV) manufacturer. The company aims to provide Malaysians with full mobility through high-quality, useful products and services. The recent Daihatsu testing scandal raised concerns among Perodua customers, as it seemed to implicate Perodua vehicles. Although Malaysia’s Road Transport Department has cleared Perodua of any involvement in the scandal it remains essential to assess customer satisfaction with Perodua vehicles in light of this incident or other similar incidents in the future. Thus, this study attempts to explore the factors that affect customer satisfaction with emphasis on trust, brand image, perceived price fairness, and customer service as the factors. 150 Perodua customers participated, completing the quantitative research through a self-administered questionnaire. The collected data was analysed using SPSS software based on multiple regression analysis. The results showed that trust, brand image, and perceived price fairness greatly influence Perodua's customer satisfaction. With the ultimate goal of increasing customer satisfaction and competitive advantage in the automotive industry
