Abstract

Halal business practices are developing in majority-Muslim countries and within companies in Muslim minority countries such as Finland. It consistently shows an interest in developing the halal industry, as evidenced by the development of companies that practice halal business in these countries. This study examines the factors influencing halal company practices while offering halal goods or services in Finland, a nation with a large Muslim population. The surveys were given online and offline to Finnish businesses that have achieved halal certification as a data collection strategy. PLS-SEM, or partial least square-structural equation modeling, was used to analyze data from 32 replies. This study found that halal values and the spirit of innovation encourage Finnish companies to enter the halal business. In addition, companies' halal business practices in Finland are strongly influenced by the interaction between internal and external driving factors. Businesses in nations where Muslims make up the minority can be encouraged to engage in halal commerce in several ways. Individuals who are aware of halal's advantages, are drawn to innovation, are under external pressure to conduct halal business and have internal circumstances that allow them to view the halal business phenomena as a chance to advance their nation's commercial interests.

Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this study is to examine the factors that influence the intention to boycott products made or affiliated with Israel among Muslims in Indonesia. This study is grounded in the context of ongoing wars and conflicts in the Middle East, specifically in Palestine.Methodology – This research uses primary data collected from 412 respondents and the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) method for data analysis.Findings – The main results show that animosity, intrinsic religious motivation, self-enhancement, product judgment, and attitude toward the boycott influence the intention to boycott. However, brand distrust does not determine the intention to boycott products affiliated with Israel.Implications – Indonesia is one of the largest markets for Muslims worldwide. Understanding the purchasing behavior of Muslim consumers in Indonesia can help marketers and multinational companies anticipate and strategically respond to potential boycotts, minimising financial losses. This is important because Muslim consumers in Indonesia often opt for alternative products when choosing to avoid those affiliated with Israel. Originality – Animosity was the most influential variable in this study. This reflects deep-seated resentment among Muslim consumers toward Israel, leading to a reluctance to purchase Israeli-affiliated products. They directly targeted Israeli-affiliated companies or products for boycotting as a form of expression of their anger and disapproval of Israel's invasion of Palestine. Interestingly, Muslim consumers in Indonesia still positively and favourably view products affiliated with Israel, even though they are reluctant to buy them.
