Perceptions And Interests Of Young Entrepreneurs In Sharia-Based Business Finance

This study analyses the perception and interest of young entrepreneurs in Sharia-based business financing at BSI in Sungai Penuh City, Jambi. This study uses a qualitative approach with primary data from interviews. Interviews were conducted directly with six informants. The data analysis technique uses the Miles and Huberman approach with the following stages: data reduction, data presentation, verification, and conclusion. The results of the study indicate that the perception of young entrepreneurs towards Sharia-based loans is generally very positive; they understand the basic principles of Sharia in financing without interest and the application of profit sharing. Young entrepreneurs also recognize the benefits of sharia financing, such as easy access and simple procedures. On the other hand, the interest of young entrepreneurs in Sharia financing is still relatively low. This is due to the need for more socialization and support from Sharia financial institutions and limited financing options. Theoretically, this study can be used as a reference for relevant research in the future. Practically, this study can be a reference for Sharia financial institutions in designing marketing strategies and developing financing products that meet prospective customers' needs so that they can have a positive impact and increase interest and awareness of the importance of Sharia financing among young entrepreneurs.

Mellowing down the rigour of the concept of ‘trans‐border reputation’ to accommodate bona fide domestic use: The Indian and Sri Lankan perspectives

AbstractIn this era of global trade and digital communication, where geographical borders between states have become virtually redundant, the ‘aura’ of well‐known trademarks easily transgresses national borders. As an upshot of this, the reputation and goodwill attached to well‐known trademarks have become less and less commensurate with the territorial boundaries of individual states. This raises the question of whether strict adherence to the bedrock principle of ‘territoriality’ is both apt and justifiable in the backdrop of modern commerce—not only from a trademark holder's perspective but also from a consumer‐centric viewpoint. Although the judicially crafted concept of ‘trans‐border reputation’ is often hailed as a promising solution to this problem; sometimes it postulates a too‐liberal approach to protecting the interests of the foreign trademark owners. Most significantly, the concern has been raised that the application of an unbridled doctrine of ‘trans‐border reputation’ may unduly thwart the interests of local entrepreneurs. Thus, the argument that the ‘priority of innocent use’ by a local trader should not be superseded by the trans‐border reputation of a foreign well‐known trademark cannot be easily ignored. This paper aims to critically evaluate the application of the trans‐border reputation concept within the Indian and Sri Lankan legal landscapes, discussing in detail the implications of the landmark cases determined by the Indian and Sri Lankan judiciaries. Most importantly, it seeks to introduce a mechanism for minimizing prejudice to the bona fide domestic users of marks, by employing ‘bad faith’ as a balancing tool.

Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy In Entrepreneurial Intention: The Mediating Role Of Entrepreneurial Education

Unemployment, poverty and social inequality are big challenges for Indonesia in entering the free market and global competition.Today, individuals with a college degree experience stiff competition and difficulty in finding employment. Limited employment opportunities which have resulted in high unemployment rates have increased awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship. However, students' interest in entrepreneurship is still relatively low, causing them to hesitate to start a business because they are risk averse. Entrepreneurial intention, as the main predictor of entrepreneurial behavior, is important in understanding the entrepreneurial process. Factors influencing entrepreneurial intentions, especially entrepreneurial self-efficacy, have been widely researched.Apart from that, the role of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in forming entrepreneurial intentions has also received attention.This research investigates the influence of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, entrepreneurial education, and individual factors such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy on entrepreneurial intentions among business students. The findings show that the entrepreneurial ecosystem has a positive effect on entrepreneurial intentions, in line with previous research in the Western context. In addition, entrepreneurial education and individual factors such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy mediate this relationship. Practical implications include the need for universities to support students in developing an entrepreneurial mindset and improve entrepreneurship education to foster creativity. Limitations, such as the focus on business students and the cross-sectional design, offer avenues for future research to explore broader populations and use longitudinal designs.

Analysis of Stakeholder Behavior Adjustment Strategies for Entrepreneurship Education in Higher Education Institutions from the Perspective of Digital Collaboration

Under the background of digital age, this study discusses the behavior debugging strategies of stakeholders in entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. The research significance is that with the rapid development of information technology, digital collaboration has become an important force to promote the development of entrepreneurship education in colleges and universities. Through questionnaire survey and data analysis, it is found that college students' cognitive interest in innovation and entrepreneurship fluctuates regularly with time, and college entrepreneurship education should adjust curriculum design and teaching methods according to this cognitive law. The research suggests that colleges and universities should integrate the resources and advantages of teachers, students, parents, businesses, financial institutions and communities, strengthen cooperation through digital platforms, and optimize the implementation path of entrepreneurship education. At the same time, the government should provide policy support, narrow the digital gap between universities, build a cooperation platform, and promote data security and privacy protection. These strategies aim to improve the quality of education and cultivate innovative entrepreneurial talents to meet the needs of the digital age.

UPAYA PENINGKATAN NILAI EKONOMIS PRODUK UMKM MELALUI SOSIALISASI BISNIS DIGITAL DI DESA CILANGKARA

Technological developments, especially in digital business, have had a positive impact on Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in rural areas, such as Cilangkara Village. Even though the growth trend of internet users in Indonesia shows a significant increase, observations and interviews show that the majority of village residents have not shown sufficient interest in entrepreneurship, especially in facing current developments. In this context, the community service program by Islamic University 45 Bekasi students aims to provide education and increase village residents' interest and skills in entrepreneurship, especially by implementing digital business. Implementation methods, such as observation, outreach and training, are expected to stimulate interest and provide support to village residents, including providing business tools to MSMEs that are not yet running. Digital business education is the key to increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs and driving economic potential at the local level, as is being pursued through community service activities in Cilangkara Village. The latest evaluation shows an improvement in the quality of life of the community, especially among MSMEs in Cilangkara Village, through increasing operational capabilities of digital applications for analysis, marketing and product production. It is hoped that the success of this program will be a sustainable first step to improve and produce MSMEs that are able to compete and develop along with the times.

Online business: ambitious daughters and their suspicious career in China?

Purpose Online business can be an attractive career choice but bears gendered implications under China’s market economy. This study aims to examine how highly educated young women negotiate their career choice of online business, given their enhanced career ambitions and the persisting conservative views of their parents. It is to be examined how these factors interact in shaping women’s strategies and commitment to their nonconventional careers. Design/methodology/approach The study draws on 23 interviews with 18 women involved in online business. The interviews were coded by themes about how women perceive and make career choices to enter online business, the influence of various motivations (e.g., economic security, decency, autonomy and earning potential) and women’s interactions with their parents under gendered social expectations. The study analyzes and categorizes women’s varied strategies and levels of commitment in taking up online business, an attractive but suspicious career for highly educated young women. Findings The study finds that some women chose to conduct online business as a secondary job behind their stable and formal primary job; their compromise under parents’ preferences and social expectations as “compliant daughters,” willingly or forced, coexisted with their persisting interest in online entrepreneurship. Other women, or “self-determined daughters,” embraced online business as their primary job; some benefited from parents’ tolerant views, but others needed to handle the pressure of parental disapproval by hiding or proving their nonconventional career choices worthwhile. Originality/value This study speaks to the gendered opportunity-necessity framework of entrepreneurship by illustrating women’s multiple motivations in China’s market reforms and the rising online entrepreneurship dynamics. The findings contextualize women’s career choices in different family dynamics and suggest how social expectations and gender norms are imposed and transformed, with a focus on the shifting gendered concerns of opportunity, security and decency in an era of digital economy.

The Futuristic Entrepreneurial Actions for Tribal Farmers of North-east India

The North-East region of India, with its rich cultural diversity and biodiversity, is especially well-suited for agricultural growth. Given its potential, one would expect this region to be at the forefront of agri-entrepreneurial activities. Additionally, with the last few years, agriculture and its supplementary sectors became crucial components of entrepreneurial projects buoyed up by the existing need for sustainable food production, appropriate management of resources, and improving the living standards in rural areas. However, this expectation contrasts with findings from Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) studies for North-East region of India. Therefore, the study aimed to identify future entrepreneurial actions in the Mishmi Hills of Arunachal Pradesh. Using an open-ended questionnaire, the researchers employed a triangulation approach to analyse potential ventures in the region. The study identified ten key entrepreneurial actions. Agro-tourism emerged as the top choice among local tribal farmers, while the commercialization of Mishmi teeta (a traditional medicinal plant) was ranked highest by experts in the region. These findings offer valuable insights for stakeholders in the region. The study highlights the entrepreneurial interests of tribal farmers and suggest areas for entrepreneurial policy development in the region. Additionally, the findings also offer actionable insights for designing training programs or policy initiatives aiming to empower tribal farmers through entrepreneurship in agricultural and allied sector.

Assessing Entrepreneurial Awareness, Interest, and Skill Development Approaches Among Electrical Installation and Maintenance Works Students in Technical Colleges of Adamawa State for Self-Employment

This study assessed entrepreneurial awareness, interest, and skill development approaches among EIMW students in GSTCs in Adamawa State for self-employment. The study employed a descriptive survey research design, targeting 217 respondents, including administrators, teachers, and students from three GSTCs in Adamawa State.
