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

This study examines how audit tenure and gender diversity on the audit committee influence audit report lag (ARL). It focuses on energy sector firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2020 to 2024. The ARL measures the timeliness and accuracy of reports, essential for stakeholder interests. Longer audit tenures may increase audit efficiency, and increased gender diversity in the audit committee could enhance oversight and governance. The study employs a panel data approach and multiple linear regression analysis. The sample consists of 43 energy sector companies selected through purposive sampling, meeting the research criteria. Results indicate that longer audit tenure significantly reduces ARL, while gender diversity in the committee also has a notable effect. It highlights the importance of proper auditor rotation and increasing women's representation in audit committees to enhance the audit reporting process.

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 aims to examine the effect of green banking implementation and operational cost efficiency on the profitability of Islamic Commercial Banks in Indonesia during the period 2020–2024. The variables used in this study include green banking as an exogenous variable, operational efficiency (BOPO) as an independent variable, and return on assets (ROA) as a measure of profitability. This quantitative study employs secondary panel data sourced from the annual reports of Islamic Commercial Banks registered with the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The analysis uses a path model approach. The results reveal that green banking has a positive and significant effect on ROA while BOPO has a significant negative effect on ROA. Simultaneous testing found that the implementation of green banking as measured by GCR and BOPO had a positive and significant influence on ROA.These findings indicate that sustainable banking practices and cost efficiency play a critical role in enhancing the financial performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of transfer pricing, profitability, and earnings management on tax avoidance, as well as to illuminate the role of Beneish M-Score as a moderating variable. The study was conducted on companies in the Oil, Gas and Coal Sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2021–2023. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression with a panel data approach. The results of the study indicate that simultaneously, transfer pricing, profitability, and earnings management do not have a significant effect on tax avoidance. Partially, the three independent variables also do not show a significant relationship to tax avoidance. In addition, earnings management proxied through the Beneish M-Score does not have a significant effect on tax avoidance practices. This study also cannot empirically conclude the role of the Beneish M-Score as a moderating variable because no interaction testing was carried out. This finding indicates that tax avoidance is likely more influenced by other factors outside the model, such as ownership structure, corporate governance, or tax regulations. The implications of these results indicate the need for a more comprehensive development model and data-based tax supervision to minimize tax avoidance practices.

Abstract

The Car Free Day (CFD) program at Merdeka Square in Medan City is one of the government's efforts to create a healthy public environment while encouraging economic growth through empowering Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study aims to determine whether the CFD program at Merdeka Square really has a significant impact on increasing the income of micro businesses. The study used a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation as data collection techniques. The results of the study showed that the CFD program had a significant impact on increasing the income of MSMEs, with some traders recording a turnover of up to two million rupiah in one activity. However, challenges such as tight competition and limited selling time are still faced by business actors. Better location planning and the elimination of stall rental fees have helped improve trader comfort. Thus, CFD has been proven to be a trigger for local economic growth and supports the sustainability of MSMEs in Medan.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation on competitive advantage among coffeeshops in Sukabumi City. As the coffee consumption trend continues to rise in Indonesia, coffee shops face increasing competition that demands strategic innovation and market responsiveness to maintain business sustainability and gain a competitive edge. Using a quantitative approach with descriptive and associative methods, data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 42 coffeeshop owners and managers, applying a saturated sampling technique. The research employed multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS v21 software to test the hypothesis. The results show that both entrepreneurial orientation and market orientation are in the high category among coffeeshops in Sukabumi. Furthermore, both variables have a significant and positive effect on competitive advantage. The correlation coefficient indicates a strong relationship (r = 0.866), while the coefficient of determination (R² = 0.750) suggests that 75% of the variance in competitive advantage can be explained by entrepreneurial and market orientation. Partial hypothesis testing (t-test) confirms that both independent variables significantly influence competitive advantage (t-count > t-table). Simultaneously, the F-test also shows significant results (F-count > F-table). The findings imply that coffeeshops with strong entrepreneurial attributes—such as innovation, risk-taking, and proactivity—and market-focused practices—such as customer orientation and competitor awareness—tend to achieve better competitive positioning. This research contributes to strategic management literature and offers practical insights for small business owners in the food and beverage sector to enhance their competitiveness through entrepreneurial and market-driven strategies.

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.
