Abstract

Abstract Consumptive behavior in Kerinci Regency is seen in the increasing purchase of luxury goods despite limited income. Additionally, people often prioritize a modern lifestyle over their basic needs. This trend is also influenced by aggressive promotions on social media, which shape consumption preferences. This study aims to investigate the shopping behavior of housewives for fashion in Kerinci Regency. The method used in this study is field research with a qualitative descriptive approach. The informants involved are the community, especially housewives. Data collection techniques include interviews and documentation. The data obtained are then processed using data reduction techniques, data presentation, and concluding. A comparison of consumption patterns between Kerinci Mudik and Kerinci Hilir shows significant differences due to social, cultural, and infrastructure influences. In Kerinci Mudik, housewives tend to be consumptive with high spending on branded clothing, driven by social media, social status culture, and easy access to shopping centers. In contrast, in Kerinci Hilir, consumption patterns are simpler, focusing on basic needs such as food and education, with community solidarity that reduces social pressure for prestige-based consumption. The limited infrastructure in Kerinci Hilir supports wise income management and family economic stability. Keywords: Consumptive Behavior, Housewives, Fashion.

Abstract

This article discusses the management of the Ramadan Bazaar held on the waqf land of the Baitul Khoir Grand Mosque in Tulungagung, as a means of empowering the local Muslim community. The bazaar serves not only religious and social functions but also acts as a productive initiative to optimize waqf assets for community welfare. Managed through systematic planning, organizing, implementation, and controlling stages, this activity represents a practical application of productive waqf. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. The data collection technique involved structured interviews with mosque administrators and business actors involved in the bazaar, as well as the documentation of ongoing activities. The results indicate that the Ramadan Bazaar has a positive impact on the local economy, while also strengthening the mosque’s social and spiritual role. However, challenges remain in management and program sustainability. The study recommends a productive waqf-based bazaar management model as an alternative strategy for mosque-based economic empowerment, emphasizing the need for collaboration among mosque administrators, the community, and supporting institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the influence of customer experience and customer satisfaction on purchasing decisions, with purchase intention as a mediating variable, focusing on the MyPertamina application for purchasing subsidized fuel in Palopo City, Indonesia. Using a quantitative design with 100 respondents selected through incidental sampling, this study used a questionnaire and analyzed the data with SmartPLS 4.1 to test the outer and inner models. The study findings revealed that customer experience directly influences purchasing decisions but does not significantly influence purchase intention, while customer satisfaction significantly influences both purchase intention and purchase decision. In addition, purchase intention strongly mediates the relationship between customer satisfaction and purchase decision but does not mediate the relationship between customer experience and purchase decision. This suggests that while user experience directly contributes to purchasing behavior, satisfaction drives intention, which then shapes actual decisions. This study provides theoretical implications by integrating behavioral models in the context of digital public services and offers practical insights for application developers and policymakers to improve service efficiency, trust, and user satisfaction. However, its limitations include focusing only on one geographic region and application, which limits the generalizability of the findings. Future research should explore comparative contexts or incorporate qualitative approaches to capture deeper user perceptions and behavioral nuances. Overall, this study enriches the understanding of consumer decision-making patterns in adopting government-supported digital platforms.

Abstract

This study analyzes consumer perceptions of Samsung products promoted by BTS's Suga as a brand ambassador, focusing on the impact of the controversial issue related to DUI involving Suga. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through an open-ended questionnaire distributed online to Samsung consumers and BTS fans (ARMY). The collected data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify dominant themes in consumer perceptions. The results of the study indicate that despite the controversial issue involving BTS's Suga as Samsung's brand ambassador, consumer perceptions of Samsung products have a positive view, although there are some weaknesses identified. Suga's influence as a brand ambassador is more pronounced among BTS fans, who feel an emotional connection with their idol. However, many respondents were not affected by the controversial issue and continued to judge the product based on its quality. Respondents also expect Samsung to handle this issue professionally and transparently. This study emphasizes the importance of managing controversial issues and selecting the right brand ambassador in marketing strategies to maintain brand loyalty and consumer purchasing decisions.

Abstract

The micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) sector is considered as the main driver of economic growth and as a temporary place for workers who have not been absorbed in the formal sector. In maintaining the existence of a business, it is necessary to conduct a study of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats that occur when the business is carried out. SWOT analysis is basically a technique for systematically identifying various factors and determining elements of the development of an institution. This study uses a qualitative approach that focuses on literature studies, where researchers do not conduct field research and rely on data sources from literature. This study takes sources from articles, books, magazines, the articles we take are articles related to the research theme for at least the last 5 years. After the SWOT analysis is carried out, strategies can be developed by utilizing the SWOT matrix, which consists of four types of strategies: SO (Strengths-Opportunities), WO (Weaknesses-Opportunities), ST (Strengths-Threats), and WT (Weaknesses-Threats). SWOT analysis compares external factors of opportunities and threats with internal factors of strengths and weaknesses. Structured external and internal testing is something unique in planning and development. SWOT analysis is carried out using the results of identifying internal and external conditions of an institution or company. These results are identifications from the internal and external sides, so it is necessary to prepare a strategy presented in the form of a matrix with four strategy options. Along with the development of the era, SWOT analysis is not only used in the industrial world, companies or an organization. However, it can also be used as self-control in order to make a person better. Therefore, this study will discuss the use of SWOT analysis to control daily life from an Islamic economic perspective. So that a plan for an institution or organization will emerge that is in accordance with the standards of Islamic economic principles.

Abstract

This study explores the integration of Islamic ethical values into business competitive strategies using Porter’s Five Forces framework. The research employs a qualitative descriptive method through literature studies, drawing from academic journals, classical Islamic sources (Qur’an and Hadith), and contemporary scholars. The study examines how each of Porter’s forces threat of new entrants, bargaining power of suppliers, bargaining power of buyers, threat of substitutes, and industry rivalry can be aligned with Islamic ethical principles such as justice (‘adl), honesty (shiddiq), trust (amanah), and public benefit (maslahah). The findings indicate that integrating Islamic values can address weaknesses in Porter’s model, which is predominantly profit-oriented and economically driven. For example, ethical competition encourages market fairness and discourages monopolies; supplier and buyer relationships are guided by transparency and mutual respect; and innovation is seen as a means to serve, not to dominate. The incorporation of Islamic ethics into competitive strategy not only fosters sustainability and long-term business relationships but also transforms competition into a means of spiritual and social contribution. This approach suggests that companies operating in Muslim-majority environments or with shariah-based principles can adopt a more holistic and balanced strategy achieving competitive advantage while adhering to moral responsibilities. The study contributes to the development of Islamic strategic management literature and offers practical implications for Muslim entrepreneurs and policymakers seeking ethical and effective frameworks for industrial competitiveness.
