Abstract

This study aims to optimize omnichannel marketing strategies for MSME-scale F&B businesses in Makassar, with a focus on the implementation of sales and marketing channels (both offline and online), eliminating challenges and opportunities in omnichannel integration, and formulating effective optimization strategies to improve customer experience and business performance. The results of the study indicate that omnichannel strategies are able to increase customer interaction, operational efficiency, and sales conversion, as well as build connections and engagement with target audiences. Key factors contributing to the success of this strategy include the use of social media, big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and effective integration systems. However, omnichannel implementation faces challenges such as the complexity of technology integration and the need for large investments. This study concludes that the quality of omnichannel strategies can provide a competitive advantage in the digital market and increase customer loyalty through consistent and satisfying experiences.

Abstract

This study examines the risk management strategies implemented by Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) following the institutional fund withdrawal by Muhammadiyah in 2024. This event raised critical questions regarding BSI’s ability to maintain financial stability and uphold public trust amidst reputational risk. Employing a qualitative case study approach, the research is based on in-depth interviews with BSI management, analysis of financial reports (2023–2024), and regulatory publications. The findings reveal that BSI adopted a three- layered risk management approach—preventive, mitigative, and corrective—to stabilize liquidity, mitigate reputational impact, and strengthen stakeholder confidence. Preventive strategies included diversification of funding sources, enhancement of digital banking infrastructure, and improvement of the CASA ratio. Mitigative measures involved real-time communication, increased fee-based income, and CSR programs grounded in ESG principles. Corrective strategies comprised strengthening internal audits and evaluating systemic resilience. This study offers practical insights for Islamic banking institutions in managing socio-religious financial shocks while upholding Sharia principles and sustainability objectives.

Abstract

This article analyzes the crisis faced by several multinational corporations, in light of the growing ethical awareness among Muslim consumers regarding global issues such as the Israeli aggression in Gaza. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach and literature review, this study examines how the phenomenon of consumer boycotts reflects a paradigm shift in the consumption behavior of Muslim societies. The findings reveal that such boycotts are not merely rooted in political sentiment but also represent an expression of the values embedded in maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, including justice, solidarity, and moral responsibility. Furthermore, the article proposes the framework of meaningful economics as an alternative to the conventional economic model, which often tends to be reductionist and unresponsive to evolving social dynamics. Within the Islamic economic paradigm, consumption and production are regarded as meaningful activities that encompass both spiritual and ethical dimensions. This study recommends that global corporations adopt value-based business models and remain attentive to the moral sensitivities of Muslim consumers as a long-term sustainability strategy.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed severe financial threats to companies across sectors, exposing weaknesses in traditional risk response systems. To address the increasing uncertainty and the need for rapid strategic adjustment, this study evaluates the role of the ISO 31000 risk management framework in enhancing corporate financial resilience during crises. The research aims to assess how the implementation of ISO 31000—including risk identification, analysis, evaluation, and mitigation—affects key indicators of financial stability: liquidity, solvency, operational continuity, and strategic financial adaptation. A mixed-method approach was employed, combining qualitative descriptive analysis and quantitative correlational analysis using Likert-scale questionnaire data. Regression analysis, t-tests, and F-tests were used to examine the influence of each risk management component, supported by reliability testing via Cronbach’s Alpha. The results show that the four ISO 31000 components jointly have a significant influence on all dimensions of financial resilience. Among them, risk mitigation shows the most consistent and significant effect, indicating its critical role in stabilizing companies during turbulent conditions. In contrast, risk analysis has the least statistical impact across the models. This study contributes empirical evidence supporting the strategic application of international risk management standards during global crises. The findings offer practical implications for organizations seeking to institutionalize structured risk governance and reinforce financial resilience. It also expands the academic discourse on risk-based financial management and encourages further exploration of adaptive frameworks in times of high uncertainty.

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of the United States' import tariff policy announcement on April 2, 2025, on stock price movements in the LQ-45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Using the Event Study method, this study compares stock prices and market volatility 30 days before and 30 days after the policy announcement. Data were obtained from the daily closing prices of LQ-45 stocks collected through purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using paired t-tests and Wilcoxon Signed Rank tests to assess the significance of average price differences, as well as standard deviation calculations to evaluate changes in market volatility. The results indicate that there was an increase in the average LQ-45 index after the import tariff announcement, followed by a decrease in market volatility. However, this increase was not statistically significant (p-value > 0.05), suggesting that the policy's impact on LQ-45 stock prices is limited. These findings align with the Capital Market Efficiency Theory, where information is already reflected in stock prices before the announcement, as well as the Signal Theory, which emphasizes that the impact of global economic policies does not always result in extreme reactions in domestic markets. This study contributes to the literature on the response of the Indonesian stock market to international economic events and highlights the importance of psychological factors and anticipatory investor behavior. The main recommendation is the need for further research with a broader sample and variables, including the measurement of investor sentiment as a determinant of market reactions.
