Abstract

Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is the world’s well-known global brand of fast food that has more than 26,000 restaurants in over 150 countries and territories around the world. Due to Its cheapness, quickness, and convenience, it has always become a global favorite meal for many people. However, the quality of services also plays an important role in KFC’s success as they apply customer-oriented services. Their empathy and reliability towards their products and services give many reviews on the internet. Although there are many top brands in the fast-food industry, KFC has succeeded in quickly developing its business as they are constantly expanding throughout the world. Therefore, their success raises an issue of how they maintain their customer’s loyalty. To better understand this research, an online survey has been created to collect the data needed. This survey involves 100 participants from Malaysia, Indonesia, and India through a questionnaire in a Google Form. The quantitative method was used with random sampling. The data were utilized with the regression test, one sample t-test, and f-test. Based on the findings, KFC's service quality has a favorable impact on customer loyalty in each country.

Abstract

One of the benchmarks in assessing the success of an investment activity is based on the acquisition of stock returns. During the pandemic, the hotel, restaurant, and tourism industry sector was very significantly affected. Various travel restriction policies to the closure of tours caused a drop in capital market activity in this sector. The author uses firm value as a mediation to examine various factors such as profitability, liquidity, and leverage which can affect stock returns in the hotel, restaurant, and tourism industry sector. Financial report publications are used as data sources and research objects which are then analyzed and studied using Partial Least Square (PLS) as a test tool. Testing and analysis obtained the fact that the ratio of the ability to fulfill current liabilities (liquidity), the ratio of debt (leverage), and the ratio of profits (profitability) significantly affect the formation of firm value. Firm value can directly affect stock returns but as a whole, the variables cannot provide a significant direct effect on stock returns without being mediated by firm value. It can be concluded that high stock returns in the sectors tested can be influenced by liquidity, leverage, and profitability with good company value. Further research development could pay attention to direct factors such as accounting profits.

Abstract

Recent sustainability concerns have extended their influence into the realm of accounting. Previously, annual financial reporting held primary importance for companies, but now, in response to these concerns, a settlement report has been introduced, reflecting the emergence of environmental accounting. Researchers employed the Egek Culture from Moi Tribe phenomenological philosophy study method to uncover how green accounting is rooted in cultural values. Data analysis involved interviews with seasoned experts in environmental accounting to gather insights from informants. The selection of divided methods reveals the values of indigenous Papua culture in the concept of environmental accounting. The study found that green accounting has not received serious optimal development in Indonesia. To apply green accounting effectively, there is a need to align the proposed concept with existing international guidelines. The Egek philosophy offers insights into resolving key issues in green accounting since it strives to fulfill the social and environmental responsibilities of an entity to the utmost extent possible. Applying green accounting via the phenomenological approach of Egek philosophy enhances understanding comprehensively.
