A Jurisprudential Review of Business Competition Practices on the Shopee Platform: Unfair Practices and Their Impact on Small Businesses
Full text linkThe rapid development of technology has transformed conventional business practices, with digital platforms such as Shopee providing innovative features, such as live streaming and flash sales. However, these features have the potential to enable unfair business competition. This study examines the impact of live streaming on Shopee Live and Toko Saya flash sales on a Shopee platform from the perspective of business competition. Using a qualitative approach, this study focuses on the policies and practices surrounding these features. The findings reveal that while certain promotional practices are legitimate, the ongoing practice of providing conditional discounts and low prices may violate business competition laws and principles of business competition jurisprudence in Islam. Sellers and buyers have indicated that these practices are not based on the principles of honesty and balance and can be detrimental to smaller businesses with limited capital. This study highlights the need for businesses to prioritize moral ethics and adhere to religious and state rules to create a fair and competitive market that protects consumer rights. As digital platforms continue to grow, it is crucial to address the potential for unhealthy business competition and to ensure that all parties, including conventional business actors, can participate fairly in the market

Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility Effect on Financial Performance and Reputation In OJK-Listed Banks
Full text linkThis study investigates the impact of Islamic Corporate Social Responsibility (ICSR) on financial performance and corporate reputation in the context of Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia. Specifically, it examines how ICSR affects return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE) as indicators of financial performance and deposits from customers (DPK) as a measure of firm reputation. The research uses data from the annual reports of nine Shariah commercial banks over five years, from 2015 to 2019. The results show that ICSR does not significantly affect ROA, indicating a limited impact on banks' asset-based financial performance. However, ICSR has a positive effect on ROE, suggesting that it enhances investor confidence and contributes positively to equity-based financial performance. In contrast, the study concludes that ICSR does not have a significant impact on corporate reputation, suggesting the complexity of factors that influence public perception beyond ICSR activities. This research provides valuable insights into the differential impact of ICSR on different dimensions of Islamic commercial banks' performance and highlights potential areas for further research in the field of corporate social responsibility and financial management in the Islamic banking sector
Electricity Consumption and Economic Growth: Evidence From Nigeria
Full text linkAs one of the significant components of energy consumption, the importance of electricity to economic growth has been recognized by economists and business people, engineering, and government agencies. This paper seeks to investigate the impact of electricity consumption on economic growth in Nigeria from 1986 to 2021 by using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The properties of the series were first checked using Augmented Dickey fuller (ADF) and Phillip Peron (PP) unit root tests, and the result found a mixture of the order of integration, which paved the use ARDL model. The findings of the ARDL bond test indicate the present cointegration. Evidence from the short run reveals that the speed of adjustment is negative and statically significant, confirming the expected equilibrium process in the short-run dynamics among the variables under study. The results also show that energy consumption, inflation, and industrial product are statistically significant and positively affect Nigeria's short and long-run economic growth. At the same time, Unemployment is negative and statistically significant both in the short and long run. Based on the findings, the paper recommends that government should undertake serious measures to curtail the shortage of electricity consumption in the country to promote economic growth in general. The government should adopt appropriate policies to reduce Unemployment, adversely affecting economic growth.As one of the significant components of energy consumption, the importance of electricity to economic growth has been recognized by economists and business people, engineering, and government agencies.

The Influence of Argument Quality and Information Richness on Trust in Halal Cosmetic Reviews
Full text linkIn the digital age, halal cosmetic products are becoming increasingly popular. Online reviews play an important role in consumers' purchasing decisions, as they cannot see and check the quality of the products directly, but only through the screens of their gadgets.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of argument quality and information richness on perceptions of information quality and trustworthiness of halal product reviews on the Shopee platform. We utilized a survey design involving 120 participants and applied ANOVA with a regression approach for analysis. Our results show that argument quality and information richness have a positive impact on perceived information quality. Furthermore, perceived information quality positively affects trust in halal product reviews. The results highlight the importance of providing high quality arguments and information in online reviews to increase consumer trust in halal cosmetic products. Furthermore, this study highlights the role of the Shopee platform in shaping consumer perceptions of online reviews, especially in the context of halal cosmetics. Marketers can use these findings to enhance their brand credibility and increase consumer trust through high-quality online product reviews. This study is useful for muslim marketers so that they can increase sales by motivating consumers to provide quality reviews that can be adopted by other consumers
Reflection of Local Wisdom Values behind Accounting Practices in Tumbilotohe Culture
Full text linkThis study explores the integration of local wisdom into accounting practices in the Tumbilotohe culture, framed within an Islamic paradigm and using an Islamic ethnomethodological approach. Data were collected through structured interviews, passive participant observation, and documentary analysis using a qualitative methodology. These were analyzed through the stages of charity, knowledge, faith, revelation information, and courtesy. The findings reveal that the Tumbilotohe Implementation Committee self-funded its activities through accounting practices that are deeply intertwined with values of sincerity, struggle, and sacrifice that are emblematic of the Gorontalo tribe's cultural and Islamic traditions. Central to these traditions is the vow "batanga pomaya, nyawa podungalo" (the self is devoted, life is at stake), which is part of the "Paduma" - five sacred agreements symbolizing the tribe's commitment to their land, including prioritizing religion, glorifying the land, devoting oneself to the land, sacrificing property, and risking life. The study concludes that accounting practices in the Tumbilotohe cultural celebration transcend mere financial transactions and are significantly influenced by local wisdom and religious values. This reflects the community's commitment to preserving their culture and embodying Paduma principles in organizing and defending their heritage, and provides a nuanced understanding of the role of cultural and religious values in shaping accounting practices in the Gorontalo community
