Abstract

Sharia banking, a growing sector within Indonesia's civil law system, operates under Islamic legal principles while serving diverse clients, both Muslim and non-Muslim. This research explores the challenges in resolving disputes within Sharia banking, emphasizing the need for judicial integration. The study utilizes both a legislative and conceptual approach, examining relevant laws and regulations, while developing a comprehensive framework for judicial reform. Results indicate that despite the Religious Courts' authority over Sharia economic disputes, jurisdictional ambiguity persists, often leading to confusion. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), such as mediation and arbitration, which aligns with Sharia principles and offers a faster, cost-effective means of resolving disputes. The findings suggest that a unified judicial system, with the Religious Courts as the sole authority in Sharia economic disputes, coupled with strengthened ADR mechanisms, would promote legal certainty and support the sustainable development of Indonesia's Sharia banking sector. Implications include recommendations for enhancing regulatory frameworks, improving judicial competence, and fostering collaboration between regulatory authorities, industry stakeholders, and the judiciary to ensure fair and efficient dispute resolution.

Abstract

Nestle is one of the leading food companies in the world. We aim to investigate how product quality, brand name, advertisement, and product price influence customer loyalty. We tested our hypotheses by examining 100 Malaysian consumers. We found that product quality and advertisement are positively related to customer loyalty. We also identify that advertisement is the most significant factor influencing customer loyalty. Given that advertisement is the most significant factor influencing customer loyalty, we conducted another survey in Kuwait to determine which advertisements influence consumer behavior, in which a total of 175 Kuwait consumers participated. The findings show consumer behavior is primarily impacted by TV advertisements and celebrity endorsements in their brand preference. The main reason for preferring Nestle products is their high product quality and advertising. Thus, Nestle is recommended to maintain its high quality and deal with celebrities for its advertisements to retain brand loyalty. Keywords: Advertising, Celebrity Endorsements, Customer Behaviour, Customer Loyalty, Product Quality, Purchase Decision.
