Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of implementing a green economy through the use of green products, focusing on their effect on consumption expenditure. The respondents consist of 12 informants who are members of the Bumi Ijo group. The study shows that the implementation of a green economy through the use of green products aligns with the objectives of a green economy, as users consciously choose green products to protect the environment and reduce issues related to plastic waste, as well as because green products are more durable. The impact of green products on expenditure is positive, as they serve as alternatives to conventional or factory-made products that can be reused multiple times, despite the higher initial cost

Abstract

The Abbasid Dynasty is regarded as one of the most prosperous dynasties in history due to significant advancements across various sectors. One of the most prominent was the rapid development of the economic sector, driven by the policies enacted by the reigning caliphs, which brought the Abbasid economy to its peak. Indonesia, which shares similarities in human resources and its vast territory, has the potential to improve its economy amidst the current challenges. This research aims to examine which economic policies from the Abbasid era could be adapted to the contemporary Indonesian economy. The results of this study suggest that the economic policies from the Abbasid period, particularly in agriculture, mining, trade, and taxation, could serve as a reference for addressing Indonesia's current economic challenges. Indonesia possesses similar potential to the Abbasid Dynasty, with both having vast territories and diverse natural resources, as well as relying on taxation as a primary source of state revenue. However, these policies must be adapted to the modern era, considering that Indonesia has a different constitutional foundation than the Abbasid Dynasty

Abstract

This study examines the role of Instagram in the development of halal fashion businesses using a descriptive analysis approach. By systematically reviewing relevant literature, the research identifies effective marketing strategies used by halal fashion brands on Instagram and evaluates their impact on brand awareness, consumer engagement, and purchasing decisions. The analysis includes case studies of successful halal fashion brands that utilize Instagram as their primary marketing platform. The findings reveal that Instagram significantly enhances brand visibility and consumer engagement, particularly through credible influencer marketing and compelling visual storytelling. Interactive features: comments, likes, and stories have been shown to strengthen the relationship between brands and consumers, while collaborations with influencers aligned with Islamic values positively influence purchasing decisions. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing practical guidelines for halal fashion businesses to leverage Instagram while effectively maintaining adherence to Shariah principles. It underscores the potential of integrating modern marketing techniques with Islamic ethics to expand reach and strengthen brand equity in the halal fashion industry

Abstract

Bank Indonesia (BI) launched Branchless Banking, also known as Non-Branch Banking Services. In other words, Branchless Banking offers limited payment services not conducted at a bank's physical office. This study aims to enhance financial inclusion by reaching people living in remote areas or those without easy access to physical bank branches. Branchless Banking has great potential to improve financial inclusion and provides conventional banks broader access to the population, especially in remote regions. Branchless Banking can deliver financial services that are easy, fast, and effective, supporting the principles of justice, transparency, and mutual benefit, which are essential in every Islamic economic transaction

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to elaborate on investment schemes within peer-to-peer lending platforms as a means of strengthening capital for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The research design and procedures employed a qualitative approach using literature review analysis techniques. The results revealed that public interest in investing through peer-to-peer lending platforms can increase the availability of capital for MSMEs, considering that not all MSMEs obtain financing from banks. Therefore, the availability of capital on peer-to-peer lending platforms can serve as an alternative funding option for MSMEs. The higher the public interest in investing on these platforms, the more capital becomes available. Five factors influence public interest in investing in peer-to-peer lending platforms: risk perception, financial literacy, ease of access, and attractive returns

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the symptoms of fraud and the role of internal control in detecting fraud within the environment of Foundation X. A qualitative approach was used in this research, with Vocational High School X, under Foundation X, as the study object. Informants in this study include individuals within the organization. The study results reveal potential symptoms of fraud in the environment of Foundation X, particularly a lack of internal control by the foundation’s chairman regarding the use of facilities, infrastructure, and fund accountability. Additional symptoms include accounting anomalies, such as poorly planned budgets and delayed fund disbursements, which could lead to fictitious transactions. Furthermore, an excessive lifestyle among certain superiors is an emerging indicator of fraud, as it can influence fund management in ways that increase the risk of fraudulent activities. While internal control mechanisms do play a role in fraud detection within Foundation X, their implementation is still weak. This underscores the need for regular fraud risk assessments to help eliminate fraud more effectively

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the marketing strategy of the Amanah product at PT. Pegadaian UPS Simpang Lima Banyuwangi using SWOT analysis. As one of the company's main products, Amanah offers vehicle financing for micro-entrepreneurs, employees, and professionals with low administrative costs and fixed installments.

The findings indicate that the Amanah product benefits from PT. Pegadaian's strong reputation, extensive branch network, and flexible financing options. However, the study also highlights areas for improvement, such as enhancing digital promotion and offering more competitive down payment requirements. This SWOT analysis provides strategic recommendations to strengthen public awareness of the product, align services with customer needs, and expand the customer base
