Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand image on purchasing decisions mediated by product quality, service quality, and social media engagement among Generation Z at Corner Nyonya. Corner Nyonya is a contemporary culinary outlet that offers modern-style healthy food and drinks such as Vietnamese spring rolls, vegetable salads, coffee, and non-coffee drinks with distinctive Gen Z flavors, as well as processed banana and honey jackfruit snacks with various topping variants. The phenomenon of the rise of healthy lifestyle-based culinary businesses and social media trends encourages the need for marketing strategies that focus not only on products, but also on brand image and digital interactions with young consumers. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a Likert scale of 1–10 from 110 Generation Z respondents who had purchased products at Corner Nyonya. The results show that brand image has a significant effect on product quality, service quality, and social media engagement, and indirectly influences purchasing decisions through these three mediating variables. These findings emphasize the importance of building a strong brand image, maintaining consistent product and service quality, and utilizing social media as an effective means of interaction to improve purchasing decisions in the younger generation consumer segment..

Abstract

Tatanggo Terminal in Buru Regency was built as a transportation hub and new economic growth center, but until 2025 it did not function as planned. This study aims to: (1) identify the factors causing the terminal's non-functioning, (2) analyze the potential of Tatanggo Terminal in supporting local economic growth, and (3) formulate strategies to accelerate terminal utilization. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Data analysis was carried out using the Miles & Huberman model, followed by strategic analysis of SWOT, IFAS, EFAS, and the IE Matrix. The research results show that there are five main factors that cause Tatanggo Terminal to not function: (1) non-comprehensive planning, (2) weak institutions and enforcement of regulations, (3) lack of transportation route connectivity, (4) community socio-economic preferences for the Old Market, and (5) local political intervention. Nevertheless, the terminal has great potential as a distribution center for agriculture, horticulture, fisheries, and MSMEs along with the growth of public consumption, the increase in the number of vehicles, and the saturation of the Old Market's space capacity. The results of the SWOT.IFAS.EFAS analysis place Tatanggo Terminal in the "turnaround strategy" quadrant, indicating the need for internal strengthening to capture large external opportunities. Recommended acceleration strategies include (1) the formation of a Terminal UPT, (2) route arrangement, (3) facility revitalization, (4) economic cluster development, (5) increasing community participation, and (6) policy consistency between leadership periods

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of public infrastructure—particularly electricity and road infrastructure—on public welfare in South Buru Regency during the period 2010–2024. Using a quantitative time series approach and the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method, this study aims to measure the extent to which infrastructure improvements contribute to regional economic growth and improved public welfare. The variables used include electricity infrastructure (X1), road infrastructure (X2), and public welfare (Y), which is proxied by the level of economic growth and per capita income. The results of the analysis indicate that both electricity and road infrastructure have a positive and statistically significant influence on public welfare. This finding is in line with the public capital theory and endogenous growth theory, which state that infrastructure acts as a catalyst for economic activity and long-term welfare improvement. Therefore, it is recommended that the local government prioritize integrated infrastructure development policies between the energy and transportation sectors to encourage inclusive and sustainable economic growth in South Buru Regency

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of the General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), and Regional Original Income (PAD) on economic growth. The data used are secondary data sourced from competent government institutions. The data are then analyzed using statistical tools in the form of multiple linear regression. The research results show that DAK and PAD have a negative, though insignificant, effect on economic growth, while DAU has a positive and significant effect. This could indicate that the economy of South Buru Regency still has a significant fiscal dependence on the central government.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Company Size on Firm Value and analyze the mediating role of Profitability and Capital Structure in companies listed in the IDX30 index during the 2021–2023 period. The indicator variables used for Company Size are SIZE, Firm Value using Price to Book Value (PBV), Profitability using Return on Assets (ROA), and Capital Structure using the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) as the measurement indicator. The method used is panel data regression and the Sobel test with a Random Effects Model approach. The results show that company size has no significant effect on profitability (ROA) or capital structure (DER). However, company size is proven to have a significant negative effect on firm value (PBV). On the other hand, profitability has a positive but insignificant effect on firm value, while capital structure shows a significant positive effect on firm value. The results of the mediation test also confirm that neither profitability nor capital structure successfully mediates the relationship between company size and firm value significantly.

Abstract

This article aims to examine in depth the Manhaj Mutakallimin within Ushul Fiqh as a theoretical foundation for the development of contemporary Islamic economic ijtihad. The study arises from the awareness that global economic transformation requires an Islamic legal paradigm capable of addressing challenges of rationality, relevance, and public interest while maintaining its normative foundation. Using a qualitative approach through library research, this study explores the epistemological principles of the Manhaj Mutakallimin as articulated by key scholars such as al-Juwaini, al-Ghazali, and Fakhr al-Din al-Razi. The analysis focuses on its rational structure, deductive reasoning from the revealed sources, and theological orientation that positions reason as a partner to revelation in deriving legal rulings. The findings indicate that the Manhaj Mutakallimin provides a solid theoretical framework for the emergence of Islamic economic ijtihad grounded in maqā ṣ id al-syarī'ah, rationality, and social justice. This approach proves relevant in addressing modern economic issues such as Islamic fintech regulation, digital financial instruments, and problem-based fiscal policies. Thus, the Manhaj Mutakallimin not only represents a methodological legacy in Ushul Fiqh but also offers a foundational paradigm capable of integrating revelation, reason, and context in constructing a just and sustainable Islamic economic system. Keywords: Manhaj Mutakallimin, Ushul Fiqh, Ijtihad, Islamic Economics, Maqā ṣ id al-Syarī'ah

Abstract

The quality of financial reports plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate and fair determination of tax payment values. This study aims to analyze the influence of accountant competence and the use of accounting applications on the quality of financial reports and their subsequent impact on tax payment determination. Accountant competence is reflected in technical skills, professional knowledge, and compliance with accounting standards, while accounting applications are viewed as tools that support accuracy, efficiency, and consistency in financial data processing. This research employs a quantitative approach by examining the relationships between accountant competence, accounting applications, financial report quality, and tax payment values. The findings indicate that higher accountant competence and effective utilization of accounting applications contribute positively to the quality of financial reports. Improved financial report quality, in turn, enhances the reliability of tax calculations and supports proper tax payment determination. These results highlight the importance of continuous professional development for accountants and the adoption of reliable accounting applications to strengthen financial reporting and taxation processes. This study is expected to provide practical insights for organizations, policymakers, and tax authorities in improving financial reporting quality and tax compliance.

Abstract

In a dynamic and competitive business environment, understanding the factors that drive entrepreneurial innovation is important. This study examines the relationship between entrepreneurial competence and innovation in the context of the embroidery industry in Bandung. Structural Equation Modeling was employed to evaluate the proposed relationships with 90 embroidery entrepreneurs in Bandung. Empirical results show that a conducive business environment is associated with higher levels of innovation among embroidery entrepreneurs in Bandung. In addition, these environmental conditions also strengthen entrepreneurial competence, which in turn drives innovation, with entrepreneurial competence acting as a partial intermediary mechanism in this relationship. This study contributes to the literature on entrepreneurship and innovation by providing empirical evidence confirming the importance of entrepreneurial competence as a mechanism linking environmental conditions and innovation outcomes in small-scale creative industries. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the importance of improving the business environment to encourage entrepreneurial creativity, suggesting that policymakers and local stakeholders need to strengthen their support through access to resources, market information, and institutions. The research any several limitations. First, focuses on entrepreneurs in the embroidery industry in Bandung. This contextual focus suggests that the findings are most relevant to the embroidery sector in Bandung and may not fully reflect conditions in other settings. Second, the study relies on primary data collected through questionnaires, which may be subject to respondents’ perceptions and interpretations.
