Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss how the current research on the Islamic financial services industry attempts to classify its consumers and provide a fresh and critical insight into the retail Islamic banking market segmentation to harness and enhance understanding, as well as provide a guideline for a better segmentation to bank marketers. Design/methodology/approach – This study is conceptual in nature. Based on Qur’anic verses and previous literature, the authors aim to propose an applicable model of market segmentation for the retail Islamic banking market in Malaysia. Consumer segmentation in the conventional financial service industry is analysed, and prior studies on the selection criteria of Islamic banks are evaluated. Findings – In moving forward, taking cue from the classification of people in classical doctrinal and historical literature and the initial exploratory study conducted from the managerial perspective, the authors propose five cluster groups of consumers for the retail Islamic banking market in Malaysia, namely, religious conviction, religious and economic rationality, economic rationality, ethical observant and economic rationality and ethical observant. A discussion linking consumer segmentation to the branding in the retail Islamic banking market is discussed. Research limitations/implications – The five cluster groups of consumers for the retail Islamic banking market in Malaysia proposed in this study pave the way for embarking on promising and relevant future research, which is needed to substantiate and enrich the academic understanding and managerial practice of linking market segmentation and brand positioning for Islamic banking market in Malaysia. Future research should focus on verifying the five proposed segments by conducting empirical studies on a larger scale among the retail banking consumers in Malaysia and globally. Practical implications – The study provides an initial bases or dimensions of consumers of the retail Islamic banking market in Malaysia. The proposed consumers segments are useful in guiding the management of Islamic bank in Malaysia in making decisions relating to the promotion strategy as well as product and brand positioning strategy. Originality/value – For both academia and the Islamic banking industry, this study provides useful knowledge in strategically using market segmentation to position Islamic banking products and services in Malaysia and the global market.

Full textAbstract:
The market changes sweeping the U.S. health care industry have a distinctive impact on communities that rely on religiously affiliated health care providers. When a sectarian sponsor subsumes multiple providers, its assertion of religious beliefs can preclude the provision of certain health care services to the entire community. In addition, the sectarian provider's refusal to offer certain services may violate state certificates of need, licensing, Medicaid managed care, or even professional liability law. This situation challenges both the provider and the state: the provider seeks adherence to religious law, and the state seeks compliance with its law and citizens access to health care.I propose that the state attempt to ameliorate tensions between civil and religious laws through negotiated accomodation. This concept encourages the sectarian institution to reassess its mission in the current market and to identify alternative avenues of health care delivery that will preserve patients' access to care without excessively diluting religious identity or beliefs.

Full textAbstract:
Industrial era 4.0 became a big chalangge for educators especially for religious and religious subjects or Islamic Educators. Because in addition to teaching religious content that is mandatory for Muslim believers, Islamic Religious Education must also teach that instruct muslim to be creative and innovative, along with teaching about inclusiveism in order to collaborate across ethnic, cultural and religious group in facing the area of disruptive innovation. Which is an opportunity for anyone to pay attention to linearity. Industry 4.0 as the CPS, IoT, and IoS era, has been very systemic, and every industry does not need many people, except computer operators, production network supervisors and all related to computer work control. Therefore, they must be creative people to develop entrepreneurship, or services that are needed by society. Opportunity to be able to do entrepreneurial works is huge, because the world now ignores linierity, instead appreciates more creativity and networking capabilities. Therefore, educators must educate their students, and lecturers also direct their students to be realistic and become creative people. Creative and innovative education has no subjects. Therefore, fostering and enhancing their creativity is done through pendagogy for all subjects, especially subjects such as Islamic Education in schools or universities, so that they can get used to being creative and innovative people. As well as, inclusivism must be forestered and forested through a learning process that touches on aspect of attitude or affective trough discussion and or other techniques that enchance the competencies or learners in collaborating across ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds.

Jewish crafts in Lublin and their institutions in the 1930s The paper attempts to reconstruct the condition of Jewish crafts in Lublin in the 1930s after the new legal regulations for industry were introduced in 1927 (“The act on industry law”). Crafts in Lublin in this period were ethnically strongly polarized between the two groups. Jews owned 60 percent of all the workshops in the city, while Poles held the rest of the crafts and services. Jewish craftsmen dominated mainly in textile (tailoring) and leather (shoemaking) industries and services like hairdressing or photography. The article focuses primarily on quantitative and statistic aspects of the discussed topic. Jewish craft organizations (craft guilds), supporting institutions (credit institutions for craftsmen) and Jewish personnel of the Lublin Chamber of Crafts are also presented.

Religious tourism has a strong socio-cultural potential and demand - it is the value status of any person who feels the need for cultural, religious and recreational facilities important for spiritual, ideological and physical existence. It is also the availability of opportunities to meet the social and cultural needs of people in tourism services, because it has such a socio-cultural characteristic as a social practice that changes a person and positions him in the social space. Religious tourism became in the XXI century. significant, socially significant phenomenon. But the current pandemic has dealt a very painful blow to the entire tourism sector of the world economy, including religious tourism. Under the influence of the pandemic, the country banned pilgrimage. So the question arose: what's next? Is there a radical transformation of the religious life of mankind, including religious tourism? Isn't this the beginning of the end of religions, as some sociologists of the past predicted? This article is devoted to finding answers to these and other, no less complex, questions.

Legitimate companies are key facilitators of human trafficking. These corporate facilitators include not only websites providing advertisements for commercial sex services but also hotels and motels. Analysis of all active federal criminal sex trafficking cases in 2018 and 2019 reveals that in approximately 80% of these cases, victims were exploited at either hotels or motels. This paper studies the prevalence of the hospitality industry in the crime of sex trafficking and the failure of this industry to address this problem until recent civil suits were filed by victims against individual hotels and chains. Drawing on the civil cases filed in federal courts by victims of human trafficking between 2015 and 2021 along the East Coast of the United States, this paper assesses the characteristics of these hotels and the conditions in the hotels that facilitated sex trafficking. The paper then explores the moral and ethical problems posed by the facilitating role of hotel owners/operators in sex trafficking either through collusion or failure to act on and/or report evidence of individual abuse. Suggestions on how to address the problem are provided.

Currently, academics have given an intense interest in investigating the factors that promote the tourism industry as evidenced by the growing studies which investigate the impact of accommodation services as one of the main factors in the tourism industry. However, this investigated impact is missing in the Islamic tourism industry. For this reason, this paper is filling this gap by investigating the impact of accommodation entrepreneurship activities on Islamic tourism (Umrah pilgrimage) in Saudi Arabia. This paper applied a robust non-parametric approach of bootstrapped quantile regression to estimate the effect of accommodation entrepreneurship activities on Islamic tourism (Umrah pilgrimage) using a sample of the total Umrah pilgrims (Islamic tourists) as a proxy for Islamic tourism (Umrah pilgrimage) development and total accommodation entrepreneurship activities as an independent variable covering a period from 2010 until 2018. The findings demonstrated that accommodation entrepreneurship activities are promoting Islamic tourism (Umrah pilgrimage) industry in Saudi Arabia. The findings also indicated that accommodation entrepreneurship activities are one of the main factors that promote Islamic tourism (Umrah) in Saudi Arabia alongside Islamic life and belief, and religious loyalty.

The formation of Halal Development Corporation (HDC) in September 2006 was a strong indication of the Malaysian government’s aspiration towards actualising Malaysia as the regional and international hub for Halal industry. HDC is dedicated to becoming the central implementation agency for key Halal industry development initiatives. Its pertinent roles are to promote Halal industries, liaise with government agencies and authorities and to assist business entities and investors. Since Halal is a national agenda, in discharging its function HDC closely works with various agencies which include Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM), State Religious Council/Department of States, Ministry of Domestic Trade, Co-Operatives & Consumerism (MDTCC), Ministry of Trade And Industry (MITI), Malaysia External Trade Development Corporation (MATRADE), Malaysian Industrial Development Authority (MIDA), Department of Veterinary Services, Department of Standards and many more. A fuller picture of the Halal certification procedure in Malaysia, as I attempt to show below, is in order to place my proposal for its consolidation in its proper context.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper explores the contribution communication studies can make towards a better scholarly understanding of religious talk on Arab television. It offers four theoretical avenues, backed up by examples, to address not only what is at stake in the televising of religion on Arab channels but also the validity of adopting a communication studies approach. First, the political economy of communication can situate religious programs as a link in the chain of a veritable industry of religious by-products and services, where commercial benefits are not guaranteed. Secondly, discourse analysis situates religious speech on television at the intersection of internal and external logics, to consider how much religion there is in religious programs. Thirdly, to theorize religious talk in terms of the public sphere is to problematize the application of a concept with historically specific connections (to the Enlightenment) to discussion of non-Western contemporary reality. Fourthly, conceptual tools from sociological audience studies can help us to see whether the craze for religious programs is related to their intrinsic qualities or whether there are other, more contextualized, ways of reading the relationship that viewers maintain with on-screen religion. The four pathways proposed here converge in seeing religious talk on television as a social phenomenon and, as such, capable of being construed as an object of sociological study.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the prospects and challenges of the halal industry towards achieving health, environmental, social and economic sustainable development goal. This study relies on qualitative approach to gather data from secondary sources. The paper uses doctrinal approach to analyse the relationship between halal industry, maqāṣid sharīʿah and the sustainable development goals. The increase in demand for halal products is due to greater awareness and religious consciousness of most consumers, particularly among Muslim nations. However, there have been rising concerns about how halal industry can achieve sustainable health, environment, social and economy development goals. Even though halal industry assures halal (permissible) food by forbidding swine and alcohol businesses, it also entails an end to end ṭayyib (wholesomeness) of the products and services for a sustainable ecosystem as imbedded in maqāṣid sharīʿah. This paper explicates useful issues and challenges that principal institutions of the halal industry need to address to achieve halal sustainable development goals.

Kajian ini mengaplikasikan kaedah kualitatif melalui pengumpulan data dari sumber sekunder. Ia menggunakan pendekatan doktrin di dalam menganalisa hubungan di antara industri halal, maqāṣid sharīʿah dan matlamat pembangunan mampan. Peningkatan permintaan terhadap produk halal adalah disebabkan oleh kefahaman serta kesedaran agama yang tinggi di kalangan pengguna, terutamanya di kalangan negara-negara Islam. Walau bagaimanapun, terdapat kebimbangan yang semakin meningkat berhubung bagaimana industri halal boleh mencapai matlamat kesihatan, alam sekitar, sosial dan pembangunan ekonomi yang mampan. Walaupun industri halal memberi jaminan makanan halal (dibenarkan) dengan melarang perniagaan babi dan alkohol, ia juga melibatkan jaminan hujung ke hujung (keseluruhan proses) adalah produk serta perkhidmatan yang ṭayyib bagi mewujudkan ekosistem yang mampan sebagaimana termaktub di dalam maqāṣid sharīʿah. Kajian ini menerangkan isu-isu serta cabaran yang perlu ditangani oleh institusi-institusi utama dalam industri halal untuk mencapai matlamat pembangunan halal yang mampan.

Religious tourism has become a trend nowadays. In Indonesia, religious tourism is dominated by Hajj and Umrah departures. Every year, the increasing demand for Hajj and Umrah services makes Hajj and Umrah travel agents emerge, both legal and illegal, and compete. Several strategies are implemented to capture this huge market opportunity. This has implications for the blurring of the spiritual dimension of worship itself. This paper reveals how the religious travel industry influences society and its impact on people's religious attitude. This study explores data through in-depth interviews with travel agency managers, KBIHU (Hajj & Umrah Guidance Group), and pilgrims and conducting document studies from these institutions in direct written form or through electronic media. This study finds that the travel agents’ ways of business in attracting the pilgrims are through internal strategies such as package and price variations, and also by external methods to establish partnerships with KBIHU, individual agents, and public figures. Practical implications and Originality/value-These ways of business impact the religious attitude of Muslims, which are consumptive and profane. This research results can be used as material for evaluating the implementation of Hajj and Umrah trips, both by the government, travel agencies, and prospective pilgrims. This is a pioneer empirical study that focuses on religious tourism and religious attitude of Indonesian muslims.

Full textAbstract:
As the US $8 trillion global food supply chain is adapting to a post Covid-19 world becoming the new norm, so too is the Halal food system experiencing radical evolution and progression. As innovative technologies spawn new services and digital models, they also strengthen the transparency and integrity of Halal processes and certification and provide the capabilities to establish international Halal best practices alongside mainstream food industry sectors. Awareness is growing of the need to establish Halal systems and regulatory frameworks that will better ensure public interest, including consumer protection and confidence, whilst also advancing towards a viable digital Halal economy. Digital globalization has enabled globally accessible marketplaces where convergences towards digital economies have improved efficiencies as well as developed and strengthened interdependent relationships between services and networks. Rejeb states that, "the combination of blockchain and IoT technologies can be used as a powerful tool to orchestrate Halal food processes and ensure self-organized, transparent and smarter Halal Food Supply Chains (HFSCs). Leveraging blockchain with IoT technologies in the Halal food industry thus holds the potential to restructure conventional ways of managing Halal food traceability, promoting more credibility and trust in Halal certification, and ultimately boosting the Halal economy." (Abderahman Rejeb, 2021) We are in a new digital era of Halal and this paper will discuss the economic impact of a digital Agri & Halal ecosystem and what the essential determinants are to its holistic long-term success.

GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites 40, no. 1 (March 31, 2022): 37–48. http://dx.doi.org/10.30892/gtg.40104-800.
Full textAbstract:
This research examines the rise of a new religious travel segment – the Umrah Do It Yourself (DIY) travellers. While Hajj is the fifth pillar of Islam, Umrah is a minor Muslim pilgrimage that can be undertaken at any time of the year, while still playing a crucial role in the completion of Hajj rituals. In the past, Umrah was managed by an authorised travel agent, who makes all the necessary pilgrimage preparations, from flights to trip itineraries. Recent years have seen an upsurge in travellers who prefer not to utilise the services of such agencies, but instead, to make their own arrangements. The decision by the Saudi Arabian government to launch a Tourist e-Visa in September 2019 has opened a window of opportunity for the legalization of Umrah DIY journeys. The objectives of this study are (i) to explore the travel motives that contribute to the success of the Umrah DIY, and (ii) to explore the factors that support and facilitate the decision for the Umrah DIY. The data were obtained via 20 semi-structured interviews with Umrah DIY travellers. The findings show that flexibility, spirituality, and budget have a crucial impact on travel motivation. Additionally, the findings suggest that information sources, travel quality, companionship/new friendship, and familiarity facilitate the choice of Umrah DIY travel. This research contributes to the growing scholarship on the Muslim travel market beyond Hajj and to studies on independent religious travel. Findings provide an opportunity for suppliers and industry participants to understand the travel motives of this new segment as a basis for producing relevant religious tourism products and services.

Full textAbstract:
In the present Internet age, customers have turned to online booking websites to meet their demand for quality hotel services and convey their experiences. As hotels can survive and succeed by satisfying consumers and obtaining high online ratings, this research predicts the key factors impacting these ratings. The study analyzes online consumer review data gleaned from the popular Booking.com website for hotel ratings near the key religious heritage site in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The research applies the four-factor theory due to its importance in studying consumer satisfaction and prior non-application to the hospitality and tourism industry. This theory extended the two-factor theory to report four distinct sets of factors: satisfiers, dissatisfiers, criticals, and neutrals. Accordingly, the present research presents a novel categorization of key predictive factors and enriches the literature, which categorized factors as either satisfiers or dissatisfiers. Consequently, facilities and comfort are critical factors, while cleanliness, staff, and location are satisfiers; the value for the money spent is dissatisfier; the availability of breakfast and restaurants are neutral factors. The hospitality industry, specifically the hotel industry, can focus on characteristics of the four distinct sets of factors; various nations can leverage the findings to boost their hospitality and tourism sectors.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The halal industry is one of the most growing industries in the world. It refers to the industry in line with Islamic principles and requirements. The emergence of this industry aims to fulfil the requirement of Islamic-compliant products and services. Surprisingly, the industry has been growing in both Muslim and non-Muslim countries. Assessing the performance of the industry will be notable for ensuring that it obtains its objectives. The proper performance measurement should highlight business perspectives and religious aspects. This study aims to explore the current issues and challenges in developing Maqashid Al-Shari’ah-based performance measurement in the halal industry. Design/methodology/approach This is a qualitative research using in-depth interviews, and uses content analysis to interpret and explain the interview result. Interviews were conducted with experts in Maqashid Al-Shari’ah and Islamic capital markets. Findings The existence of the concept of Maqashid Al-Shari’ah is to create maslahah for all human beings. The development of Maqashid Al-Shari’ah performance measurement for the business is very important. It has only been developed for Islamic financial industry. Unfortunately, it is found that the development of Maqashid Al-Shari’ah performance measurement has not been carried out comprehensively in non-financial industry. The main issue is the absence of the applicable measurements. Therefore, collective decision is required to develop the appropriate measurements. Practical implications There is a necessity for regulator to produce standards on Maqashid Al-Shari’ah-based performance measurement. The government policy plays an important role in the development and implementation of Maqashid Al-Shari’ah -based measurement index. Originality/value This paper highlights the issue of the development of Maqashid Al-Shari’ah -based performance measurement in halal business and commerce which has not much discussed in prior studies.

The aim of this paper is twofold: to contribute to clarifying what exactly Halal tourism is, being a relatively new term; and to provide an insight into the level of knowledge and mental schemes of a new generation (Gen Z) in a Muslim majority country. To achieve the first aim, a literature review is presented. With regard to the second, a survey among Business School university students was carried out in Indonesia; primary data collected were treated by using univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistical techniques. The main findings obtained show that (1) scientific research on Halal tourism is still in an early stage, with the first relevant article dated in 2010; and (2) only a minority of our target population has declared to be familiar with the concept of Halal tourism and to have received specific training on it, but most of them (males particularly) believe that Indonesia should bet decisively to position itself as a Halal tourism destination, being its religious profile the most influential factor in favor of that option. This is the first work on this topic targeting university students’ perceptions. Implications on the supply of services in the tourism industry are also provided.

Full textAbstract:
Generally, halal matters in Malaysia are governed by piece-meal legislation, inter alia, the Trade Descriptions Act (TDA) 2011 and its by-laws, the Food Act 1983, Food Regulations 1985, state-issued fatwas, and the rules and guidelines promulgated by relevant authorities, whether under the federal or state governments. Consequently, as prescribed by the law, halal matters are assigned to various different entities. For instance, the Ministry of Domestic Trades, Cooperatives and Consumerism (KPDNHEP) supervises halal trade practices. Both the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (JAKIM) and Islamic Religious Councils (IRCs) of the states take charge of the halal certification portfolio. The Halal Industry Development Corporation (HDC) handles services related to the internationalisation of halal products, whereas the Department of Standards Malaysia (DOSM) issues and revises time-relevant halal standards. This situation, however, may lead to the overlapping of mandates and confusion among industry players as to whether halal matters fall under the federal or state governments as prescribed in List II of the Malaysian Federal Constitution. Since Malaysia is at the global forefront of promoting the halal agenda, the Malaysian government must call for the centralisation of its regulatory framework to provide better supervision and harmonise practices in the industry. Hence, this paper discusses and deliberates on the legal and regulatory outlook of the country for the purpose of centralising halal matters under the federal government of Malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, a community marketing approach was carried out in the development of the Greater Cirebon Metropolitan (MCR) to anticipate environmental impacts. Metropolitan is defined as a stand-alone area or a core urban area with surrounding urban areas having functional linkages connected to an integrated regional infrastructure network system with a total population of at least one million people. The development of MCR has the concept of developing Cirebon's historical culture with the leading sectors of tourism, trade, industry and crafts. Cirebon's leading tourism sector is based on cultural, religious and culinary tourism. Featured in the industrial and handicraft sector at MCR include: Seafood processing industry, agro industry, rattan furniture, food and beverage home industry, batik, earthenware carving, shell craft, natural stone. The development of the MCR is accelerated by the ease of accessibility of transportation modes. The development of MCR leads to filling the space that has been built by the transportation network to its satellite cities. Among the activities to fill the space are the potential for superior economic business in the form of hotel services, culinary businesses, trade, industry and crafts. Community marketing can be used as an instrument to control the negative environmental impacts of the presence of buildings or economic activities that can harm the community, such as floods in the rainy season and lack of clean water during the dry season, increased waste and traffic over crowded. Alternative instruments outside the regulation are in the form of building collective awareness of various parties to prevent the impact of environmental damage from the development of Metropolitan Cirebon Raya (MCR).

Объектом исследования являются современное состояние и перспективы дальнейшего развития основных видов религиозного туризма в Тверской области. Цель статьи - с помощью современных методов регионально-экономических исследований представить модель комплексного анализа религиозно-туристской отрасли в регионе, обладающем высоким и разнообразным потенциалом для ее развития. С помощью расчетов коэффициентов неравномерности и преимущества авторами выделены основные районы Тверской области, образующие центр, полупериферию и периферию развития религиозного туризма. На примере анализа деятельности, обусловленной включением в маршруты религиозного туризма одной из доминант и аттрактивных центров его развития - Нило-Столобенской пустыни, обосновывается влияние данной отрасли на другие виды экономической деятельности региона. Рассматриваются направления религиозного предпринимательства (производство пищевых продуктов, ювелирных изделий), импульсом к развитию которых послужил религиозный туризм. Преимущества для развития религиозного туризма на территории Тверской области, а также угрозы для его функционирования в регионе выявлены с помощью SWOT-анализа. Результаты представленной статьи могут послужить разработке дальнейшей стратегии религиозного туризма. Их использование допустимо не только применительно к Тверской области, но и к другим регионам, обладающим высоким потенциалом для развития религиозного туризма. Результаты исследования представляют интерес не только для государственных органов, в задачу которых входит разработка и стратегия развития туризма, но для миссионерских отделов митрополий Русской Православной Церкви, паломнических служб и организаций, реализующих туры религиозного тематического содержания. The object of the research is the current state and prospects for the further development of the main types of religious tourism in the Tver region. The purpose of the article is, using modern methods of regional economic research, to present a model for a comprehensive analysis of the religious and tourism industry in a region that has a high and diverse potential for its development. By calculating the coefficients of unevenness and advantages, the authors have identified the main areas of the Tver region, which form the center, semi-periphery and periphery of the development of religious tourism. On the example of the analysis of activities due to the inclusion in the routes of religious tourism, one of the dominants and attractive centers of its development - the Nilo-Stolbenskaya desert, the influence of this industry on other types of economic activities of the region is substantiated. The directions of religious entrepreneurship (production of food products, jewelry), the impetus for the development of which were served by religious tourism, are considered. The advantages for the development of religious tourism in the Tver region, as well as the threats to its functioning in the region, were identified using SWOT analysis. The results of the presented article can serve to develop a further strategy for religious tourism. Their application in this regard is permissible not only for the Tver region, but also for other regions with high potential for the development of religious tourism. The results of the study are of interest not only for government agencies whose task is to develop and develop a tourism development strategy, but for the missionary departments of the metropolises of the Russian Orthodox Church, pilgrim services and organizations that implement tours of religious thematic content.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines empirically if there is a link between quality of care in the Norwegian nursing home industry and exposure of the industry to competition. Exposing public care to competition implies that the responsibility for providing care services is shared between public authorities and private actors. In Norway, exposure to competition means tender competition. Suppliers bid for a contract issued by the Norwegian authorities for a limited number of years. Quality of care in an institution is the major competitive factor. The provider categories of elderly care are: 1) care provided by institutions run by municipalities, 2) care provided by institutions run by private companies, which have won a tender competition, 3) care provided by institutions run by private companies owned by private families, voluntary religious or idealistic organizations. Nurse-to-patient ratio is used as a proxy for quality of care. The regression analysis indicates a relationship between quality of care and exposure to competition. The quality of care in provider category 2 is significantly lower than in provider category 1, but there are more variations in the quality of care in provider category 1 than in provider category 2. We find the lowest quality of care in provider category 1. There is also a relationship between the quality of care in an institution and the educational level of the staff, the location, the workforce, and the size of an institution. Finally, there is a relationship between the quality of care in an institution and the real and the required capacity, and the financial status in a region.Published: Online February 2016.

Purpose Islamic banking system has become mainstream with the increasing popularity and demand of its products and services, including that of non-Muslims and even among the Western market. This paper aims to attempt to explore the factors that influence the co-production of services as well consumer attitudinal loyalty based on consumers’ perception of Islamic financial banking services. It also tests how co-production and customer loyalty as well as corporate image relate to each other. The present study is set up in the context of Islamic financial banking service industry in Malaysia. Design/methodology/approach The data were collected using the survey method. Convenience sampling was used to collect 502 usable responses via self-administered questionnaires. Findings The hierarchical regression results show that communication and commitment have a significant influence on co-production of services, but competence has an insignificant relationship. Co-production and corporate image have a significant influence on the consumer attitudinal loyalty, whereas corporate image has significant influence on consumer commitment. The study findings show that the co-production fully mediates the relationship between the communication and attitudinal loyalty, whereas it partially mediates the relationship between commitment and attitudinal loyalty. Research limitations/implications Further research is required to determine other additional and broader range of constructs. Further testing is therefore required before any generalization of these results can be undertaken, and it would be useful to conduct future studies in other types of industries. There are four segments of Islamic financial services customers, namely, religious conviction group, religious conviction and economic group, ethical observant group and economic rationality group. It is interesting to examine these segments related to the current study on how each segment influences the co-production process and loyalty among them. Originality/value The sustainability of a service organization depends on understanding customers’ needs but it also relies on the involvement of its customers. Although similar to-production, value co-creation has been regarded as one of the most prioritized research topics in service and marketing; thus, future researchers might model the relationships based on this concept. Despite these, few studies have been conducted to understand the nature and implications of co-production concept in Islamic financial banking services. This study contributes to the knowledge, in particular, in the context of Islamic financial banking services, especially by integrating additional constructs in determining customers’ loyalty such as the corporate image. To a certain extent, it offers some important insights on the subject of co-production and customer loyalty that eventually will lead to value creation and sustainability of businesses.

Today’s students live in the center of a rich, interconnected system of public, philanthropic, and for-profit entities that support the act of music teaching and learning. Students are not limited to the kinds of musical instruction available to them in their schools. Provided they have the means and the access, the musically curious can supplement or supplant their in-school musical lives with extracurricular and cocurricular activities, private studio lessons, community ensembles, or religious services. The for-profit music education industry in particular has grown in popularity and commercial success since the global recession, encouraged in part by what appears to be an increasing demand for instruction in popular genres that is not being met in the public schools. Corporate entities that sell music instruction have reached unprecedented levels of cultural saturation and student interest. With their successes have come a number of new teaching models, philosophies, and innovative ways for students to engage with music. However, these experiences may come at a cost, particularly to equal access by disadvantaged populations who might not be able to pay for said services. This article examines the popular music education (PME) franchise and its budding relationship with public school music education.

The process of industrialization, reformation, and globalization has led to the changes in people's lives such as livelihoods, lifestyle, and also the character of the Balinese themselves. Livelihoods that initially agriculture shifted to the tourism industry, productive lifestyles became consumptive and the way people's lives changed from collectivism to individualism and materialism. Changes of Balinese characters from previous hospitality and courteous, today tend to be violent and conflicted. Traditional institutions such as Desa Adat are social-religious and proud because they are capable of functioning to protect their citizens. However, Adat Village, which is a respected institution today, is often the arena of conflict to fight for various interests, so that quiet and peaceful life is no longer the case. The process of change and the emergence of conflicts in the development of indigenous villages in Bali often occurs in the areas of Adat Perasi Village. In the field of livelihood, Perasi traditional villagers who originally lived from agriculture and fishermen, have now changed because of a shift in the livelihoods of life. Its citizens are no longer just depend on agriculture and fishing, but rather have been leading to services especially the tourism industry. This shift must have caused a change in the view of people's lives from the original emphasis on togetherness because the collectivity of citizens turn into commercialism (materialism) that leads to individuality.

In the last third of the 19th century, the number of Hungary’s urban population mounted dramatically by the natural demographic procedures and the additional impact of industrialisation. All towns overcrowded the in-country migration since rural people flooded the urban areas following the demand of the labour market. Males moved first to the construction industry and new factories and females followed them subsequently. In the emerging urban environment, novel social relationships were created, which stigmatised and criminalised the former tolerated extramarital newborns as outlaws of the society. Charity services of religious organisations turned out to be insufficient, thus caring for these babies was taken over by the Welfare State institutions in the new established foundling hospitals. There were brutal abuses in these facilities: cruel punishments, sexual harassment and “accidental” death cases. Mortality rates in these facilities were extremely high (15-45%) nationwide, nevertheless paediatric diseases and disabilities contributed substantially to the passing away of many children. State care ended by the age of 15 years. Girls were pushed directly to prostitution, which was a strong disciplined “industry” with its specialities and obligations. Any ill behaviour paved the way to the workhouses. Those who wanted to leave the prostitution had to change to the so-called Madeleine Home where they were burdened with hard physical work. These correction facilities were unavoidable for all young girls without traditional family background.

The main purpose of our paper is to highlight the interplay between the demands of the workforce market from Hunedoara County and the competences of graduates from The Economy of Trade, Tourism and Services (ETTS) Bachelor study programme. As far as the methodology of the paper is concerned, we used a qualitative description approach that comprises manifold aspects: the statistical analysis of trade and tourism branches from the V West Region in correlation with the labor market; job opportunities analysis before and after the pandemic; cognitive and behavioral competences achieved by graduates from the ETTS programmeme in order to become well trained specialists in their area of interest. The results of our investigations led us to the following conclusions: the pandemic brought about continuous oscillations in the trade and tourism labor markets in such a way that, having skills in both fields, graduates from the ETTS programmeme could get compensation of the declining trend of available jobs in the hospitality industry by the increase of vacant jobs within the the online commerce; on the other hand, Hunedoara Conty – an area with various types of tourism – mountain, historical, religious tourism etc. – has witnessed an upsurge in the number of tourists in spite of the pandemic.

Abstract
The industrial revolution 4.0 is not only a technological development from the previous era, but it is also able to turn off conventional business. Internet connectivity that connects all parts of the world with just the touch of a finger on a smartphone is able to turn off the industry, one of which is conventional transportation services that exist today. The industrial revolution 4.0 will also bring the distance between producers and their target markets to a close relation. Digital marketing is a way to promote products/brands through internet. Through advertising on social media or e-commerce. In the world of tourism, motivation is one important factor for tourists in making decisions about tourist destinations to be visited. Tourists will have perceptions of possible tourist destinations, where these perceptions can be generated by individual preferences, prior experience, and information that can be obtained. The current motivation of tourists to Sam Poo Kong Temple has begun to change, which once had a religious motive but now has changed to a motive for social status. Sam Poo Kong temple which has spiritual and cultural values especially for Confucians changes in line with the times in the millennial era. Orientation on the use of social media can change the visiting trend and support psychological needs in terms of popularity on social media pages.

Full textAbstract:
The presence of the Islamic pawn broking scheme (al-rahnu) has caught attention in Malaysia, and has encouraged participation by society, especially low-income groups. One of the objectives in implementing this scheme was to protect the society, especially the Muslim community, from transactions involving elements of interest (riba). Al-rahnu operates by offering cash loan facilities that are quick, fair, transparent, and is based on Syariah principles. By the implementation of the Islamic pawn broking scheme the government is hoping that this scheme will be the primary option and eventually will replace the conventional scheme for pawn broking services. Even though the conventional pawn scheme has existed in Malaysia for a long time, and has monopolized the industry, Islamic pawn broking scheme is getting a huge demand by the society. After twenty years of its implementation in Malaysia, al-rahnu has become an important instrument in economic development as customers who have really no access or capacity to receive loans from the banking system can obtain financing from al-rahnu within minutes. As such, this paper will discuss the background of Islamic pawnshops in Malaysia and will be followed by a discussion that is focused on the Islamic concept of the pawnshop based on fiqh. The operation, implementation and performance aspects of Islamic pawnshops are also mentioned in this study by referring to al-rahnu under Terengganu Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council (MAIDAM), which was started in 1992 and was the first al-rahnu institution in Malaysia.
