The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between conventional monetary policy rate (CIMMR) and Islamic monetary policy rate (IIMMR) in Malaysia and selected Middle East countries and Western countries. This study runs a panel Cointegration test, a panel VECM and Wald test to examine the relationship and causal effect between the CIMMR and IIMMR for the sample of six countries starting from 2009 until 2018 based on monthly and yearly basis dataset. This study finds that CIMMR and IIMMR, in monthly and yearly basis, are both cointegrated and have a long-run relationship amongst them. Our findings confirm that there is a long run causality effect between conventional and Islamic monetary policies based on monthly interbank rates. Our findings further confirm that there is a short run causality effect between conventional and Islamic monetary policies based on yearly interbank rates. We confident that the implication of Islamic interbank rates in the implementation of monetary policy within a dual system is very high as proven by taking into consideration a different regions as samples for this panel study. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this would greatly contribute to the body of knowledge in the field of monetary policy.

Business corporations need to realize that in order to achieve their primary objective, they need to consider their responsibility towards society and environment. However, there are still a lot of unethical businesses that ignore their stakeholder’s interest. Therefore, business need to aware that their involvement of CSR practices in certain extent does affect the consumer buying behavior. This paper examines the relationship between CSR practices and consumer buying behavior. Quantitative approach was employed and 241questionnaires were collected and valid to be used. It was found that positive relationship existed between all the CSR practices (economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic) and the consumer buying behavior. However, based on the students in Selangor perspective, the main element of CSR practices that influence the consumer buying behavior is economic. Therefore, business corporations need to strive to maximize their shareholder’s wealth as the consumers expect the corporations to fulfill the shareholder’s interest as they are among those who contribute in providing funds for the businesses survival and growth. Additionally, consumers also expect the business corporations should offer reasonable price and provide a good quality of products and services to them.

This paper investigates the role of Insurance in the development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India. MSMEs have been accepted as a crucial component of an economy irrespective of the phase of development it is in. It is estimated that more than 95% of the enterprises across the world are MSMEs, employing around 60% people in the private sector. The MSMEs are considered key elements in the development of every nation. In India, MSME sector contributed 28.77% in GDP in 2016-17 with 63 million enterprises and employment of 110 million people. Despite its size, MSMEs cumulatively act as foundation of a stable economy and plays a significant role in the sustainable economic growth of a nation. However, the inherent features of MSMEs including limited financial and managerial capability cause them to face financial and strategic risks. Sustainability of the MSMEs can be supported by eliminating the credit gap and ensuring enhanced access to finance. The provision of financial support by financial intermediaries like banks can be augmented with proper risk management by the MSMEs with the help of Insurance Sector. The study concludes that insurance can play a significant role in the development of MSMEs by providing them adequate risk protection and thus enhancing their access to finance

In India, agriculture is considered as the backbone of its economy. It has been around since ancient times when other sectors were not even in existence yet. Today agriculture has achieved commercial importance and one of the powerful sectors contributing to nations’ GDP. The population of our country is increasing day by day and the size of land remains same. So, with increasing productivity, another important concept is “MANAGEMENT”. Agribusiness Management Education is a discipline that blends economic, agriculture, business (commerce) and management principles. In agriculture education, management field is gaining popularity day by day. Since the last few decades, agriculture has achieved satisfactory growth but due to some factors, the agricultural growth is relatively stagnated. So, upgradation is needed, right from pre harvesting until it reaches at the consumer level. Farmers are key performers in farming but are not able to get good returns to his produce due to many middlemen in the marketing channel. Due to a growing population, it creates a disparity between market demand and supply. So, proper management practices are required including reducing raw material wastage at farm and processing level and effective marketing strategies are also needed. Hence, an attempt is made in this paper to study the role of management education in agri-business sector and how it will help in developing managerial skills and to develop management workforce to cater for the Indian agricultural industry which serves as a good option for potential employment in corporate sector.

Despite microfinance has been widely appreciated as an informal financial mechanism to provide financial services to the poor people in developing countries, this sector is still lacking behind in fulfilling the demand gap due to the dearth of adequate funds. Securitization opens a new horizon that overcomes the funding barriers of microfinance through which the top tier Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) can accumulate funds to enlarge their portfolio without issuing any debt or equity. This paper is a desk study that synthesizes how securitization can be used in the funding of the MFI portfolio and what are the benefits and risks associated with securitization of microfinance portfolio. As a case study, we use the two examples of cross-border securitizations in the microfinance industry to diagnose the role of securitization in microfinance.

Rising cost of living in Malaysia has negatively affected the demand for personal care products as consumers prefer to switch to cheaper alternatives. This has resulted in an increase in the number of registered and unregistered personal care products in the market. This situation has an impact on Malaysian consumption as some of the products contain hazardous and poisonous ingredients which may cause adverse effects on personal health. However, customers still consume the products although they are aware and conscious of the danger and the side effects of these products for self-satisfaction. Thus, using the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), this study aims to shed further light on the factors that influence consumer decision making in the purchase of personal care products among Generation Y. The study was conducted using primary approach with the use of validated questionnaire from 390 university students. The findings revealed that subjective norm and perceived behavioural control influence consumer decision making. Findings provide evidence for businesses and policy makers to better understand the factors that influence consumer decision making. Further implications allow authorized body to identify the target group and conduct programs to educate consumers to engage in good judgement before making decisions to ensure healthy consumption choices aligned with the National Strategic Plan on promoting optimal healthy lifestyles.

The tourism sector is experiencing a remarkable constant progress and becoming one of the fastest growing economic sectors globally. In this context, it is interest for the academics and destination marketing organizations to undertake a dedicated study that gives a greater understanding of the concept of satisfaction in enhancing tourists’ loyalty. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the impact of service quality as one of the key antecedents affecting tourists’ satisfaction and loyalty towards selected destinations of the World Heritage Site in Malaysia. To confine the scope of the study, the area of interest focuses on a specific type of city, namely the Heritage City. The historical cities of Melaka and George Town inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage City in Malaysia are chosen in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of the tourists’ attitudes towards heritage city. The sample consists of 450 international and domestic tourists who visited the heritage city. Theoretically, the study contributes to the body of knowledge by emphasizing on key antecedents affecting tourists’ behaviour. Practically, the research findings imply suggestive value to destination marketing planning for Malaysian tourist destinations. At the conclusion, the study makes suggestion of the employment of HISTOQUAL model, which provides a detailed and valuable insight into the service quality assessment of the heritage settings.

This study is to investigate the relationship between economic indicators and investment in Malaysia using secondary data spanned through 1982-2015. This study employs an empirical analysis by adapting the unit root test, Johansen co-integration test and vector error correction model (VECM) to determine the short-run and long run effect among variables. The cointegrating test indicates that investment is significantly related to the trade openness, GDP and population. Based on the VECM results, the findings show that a long run relationship exists between the trade openness and investment in Malaysia. Hence, these reveal that it is important for the Malaysian government to enhance the economic policy in liberalizing foreign trade in order to encourage more investments.
