Publication Brand Management In Muslims' Small And Medium Industries In Malaysia: A Study On Food Sector(Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, 2006) ;Mohammad Noorizzuddin NoohWan Rasyidah Wan NawangBranding is an important process that can determine the marketability of the products or services as well as the profitability of the organizations involved especially when becoming a global Halal hub has been the main agenda of our country. The objectives of the research are to identify the fallacies in the current branding concept adopted by Muslim's SMI based on the fallacies listed by Jack Trout, to measure the effectiveness of the current branding concept, and also to propose a suitable branding concept for Muslims' SMIs in the food sector. A survey was conducted on selected samples from the industries in Johor and Selangor. This was further enhanced through interviews with relevant trade organizations. Descriptive analysis was done through a frequency analysis that highlights level of awareness and perceptions among the respondents. Finally, cross tabulation analysis further investigates the relationship between selected variables such as sales turnover, paid-up capital, marketing expenditure, and capital orientation and level of awareness and perception. One of the significant findings is that it was identified that the fallacies among SMIs in the industry are minimal and it would be an added advantage if the SMIs acknowledge its significance and try to avoid falling into the category. This can be done through continuous improvement in learning and training. Another significant finding is that, based on amount of the paid-up capital and their ability to generate revenue, their current branding concept is sufficient for the time being. If they wanted to become global players and have the ability to generate substantial revenue, changes in branding concept have to be proportionate to changes in those factors. Through the analysis, it is advisable that for the time being due to their limited paid-up capital,the Muslim SMIs should focus on the Multiproduct branding strategy. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Compulsive Online Shopping, Spending Habits, And Locus Of Control On Financial Vulnerability Among Malaysians(Malaysian Consumer and Family Economics Associatio, 2023) ;Nuradli Ridzwan Shah Mohd Dali ;Wan Rasyidah Wan Nawang ;Hanifah Abdul Hamid ;Umi Hamidaton Mohd Soffian LeeWan Nur Fazni Wan Mohamad NazarieAt a time when the world economy is uncertain, people need to be financially prepared to ensure stability. However, many people are prone to financial vulnerability because of their attitude and behaviour, apart from their environment. Some people have excessive online shopping lifestyles, poor spending habits, and a lack of self-control, leading them into a major debt trap and other financial obstacles that increase their financial vulnerability. This study aims to examine the impact of the abovementioned factors on the financial vulnerability of Malaysians. The online survey targeted Malaysian consumers and received 2241 responses. The data were analysed by Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using Smart PLS software. The results show that compulsive online shopping behaviour has a negative impact on financial vulnerability, while spending behaviour and locus of control have a positive effect. The findings of this study hold significance for both academics and practitioners alike. Theoretically, this study adds to the limited knowledge base in financial health and promotes a better understanding of the behavioural and psychological factors that influence individuals' financial vulnerability. Practically, this study highlights the importance of collaboration between the government and relevant agencies in developing comprehensive strategies to improve the financial stability and well-being of Malaysians to achieve the country's goal of becoming a highincome country with a high standard of living. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Digital Financial Literacy Among Young Adults in Malaysia(UPSI Press, 2023) ;Wan Rasyidah Wan NawangSyadiyah Abdul ShukorThe financial industry has been impacted by the increased use and reliance on digital technologies, which has resulted in the digitalization of financial products, services, and providers. This transformation highlights the importance of individuals' digital financial literacy (DFL). Accordingly, this study determines the prevalence of DFL among young adults in Malaysia. An online questionnaire was designed using Google Forms and a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) link was used to distribute the survey on several social media platforms. Respondents were selected using a convenience sampling and 229 responded to the survey. The survey sought to measure DFL in four dimensions: knowledge of digital financial products and services, awareness of digital financial risks, knowledge of digital financial risk control, and knowledge of consumer rights and redress procedures. The results show that Malaysian young adults score medium-high to high on all four dimensions of DFL and have a good understanding of DFL. This study is important for both academics and practitioners. It contributes to the limited knowledge in DFL, which is a new concept with little empirical evidence, and thus serves as a catalyst for future DFL research. As the world progresses towards digitalization, having DFL is essential. This study supports the government, educational institutions, and policy makers in developing financial literacy programmes and policies related to DFL towards improving the well-being of Malaysians and the national vision of shared prosperity to become a high-income nation by 2030. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

The program started in June 2022 with four days of lectures from the industry, followed by six days of tutorial sessions, and finally sitting the exams in August 2022. Collaboration between university and industry can achieve the mission of bridging the academics ivory tower and industry labour market with the required skills. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Entrepreneurial Intention Among Undergraduate Students Using The Entrepreneurial Intention Model(Business School, Bogor Agricultural University (SB, 2023)Wan Rasyidah Wan NawangThis study investigated undergraduate students’ entrepreneurial intentions using the Entrepreneurial Intention Model (EIM). The model was adapted from the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Three variables, namely professional attraction, social valuation, and entrepreneurial capacity were included in the study of entrepreneurial intention based on the EIM. This study applied a modified version of the Entrepreneurial Intention Question (EIQ) by Liñán and Chen. A convenience sample was drawn and a total of 136 students from Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia participated in the study. The questionnaire was distributed using Google forms through various social media applications such as WhatsApp, Twitter, and Facebook. The collected data was analysed using multiple linear regression analysis. Three hypotheses were generated in this study and the results showed that all three hypotheses were supported. Professional attraction, social valuation, and entrepreneurial capacity had an influence on university students' entrepreneurial intention. The results of this study showed that the students have a strong desire to become entrepreneurs and that they are interested in pursuing entrepreneurship as a career path in the future. Their social circles were also important to them, despite the fact that they were aware that entrepreneurship was not a high priority in their social circles. Apart from that, they are aware of the necessary skills, attitudes, and abilities to become entrepreneurs. This study is useful for higher learning institutions and governmental and non-governmental agencies to further enhance entrepreneurship development programs at the university level, particularly during the post-COVID-19 pandemic period. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Explaining Purchase Intentions and Online Shopping Behaviour Among Young Malaysian Muslim Consumers(Fakulti Ekonomi dan Muamalat, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, 2023) ;Wan Rasyidah Wan NawangMuhammad Huzairil Syaqir Muhamed ShukriThe commercialisation of the Internet in 1991 ushered in the era of e-commerce, in which online shopping plays an increasingly important role. Despite this, Malaysian online shopping has grown slowly, with the COVID-19 pandemic being the catalyst. Since then, Malaysians have become increasingly reliant on the internet and the proliferation of smarter, more powerful devices to shop for goods and services. As online shopping becomes more popular and has become the norm, the question arises as to what factors influence Malaysians' online shopping intentions and behaviour. The objective of the proposed study is to investigate the online shopping intentions and behaviour of young Muslim consumers in Malaysia. By using the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) as the underlying theory, this study will extend the variables to include new variables such as trustworthiness, security and safety, loyalty, and marketing information that influence online shopping intentions.

Publication Gelagat Pengguna Dan Penjanaan Kekayaan Sewaktu Pandemik Covid-19: Satu Analisis Konseptual(USIM Press, 2021-12) ;Nuradli Ridzwan Shah Mohd Dali ;Wan Rasyidah Wan Nawang ;Wan Nur Fazni Wan Mohamad Nazarie ;Hanifah Abdul HamidUmi Hamidaton Mohd Soffian LeeThe theory of human behavior change is developed from psychological studies and then applied to consumer behavior. Psychologists believe that human behavior can change through stimuli and responses based on theories developed by psychologists and behaviorists. The threat of the COVID-19 pandemic has led some countries to take drastic actions such as implementing movement control orders (MCO) to curb the spread of the pandemic and provide economic stimulus packages to restore the current economic situation. In the context of Malaysia, this study suggests that the actions taken by the government can create positive and negative responses through consumer learning theory. This study is based on operant conditioning theory and the study suggests four categories of consumer behavior after the COVID-19 pandemic. The purpose of this article is to propose a conceptual research framework related to consumer segments that exist as a result of COVID-19 and propose new types of wealth creation post-COVID-19. It is expected that the results of the study will prove that there are four segments of consumers based on reactions through behaviors that are highlighted during a pandemic. It involves the behavior of returning to the old norms, adjusting and adapting to new norms, going back to square one, and recycling the previous behaviours. Certain policies can be developed to highlight the new normative behavior among consumers to overcome the impact of COVID-19, and even to ensure that Malaysia is competitive in the face of economic recovery. Future studies need to be conducted on an ongoing basis to ensure that the proposed framework can be adapted in different contexts and industries. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Post Pandemic Consumer Behavior: Conceptual Framework(Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia, 2020) ;Nuradli Ridzwan Shah Mohd Dali ;Hanifah Abdul Hamid ;Wan Rasyidah Wan NawangWan Nur Fazni Wan Mohamad NazarieTheories on consumer behavioral change emerged from the study of psychology and later used on consumer behaviors. Behaviorists believe that human behaviors can change from stimulus and responses based on the theories developed by Pavlov, Skinner, Thorndike, and many others. In this paper, the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many countries to take actions such as restricting people movement, providing economic stimulus to push the economy back up, and enforcing social distancing rules and alike to flatten the pandemic curve. The study envisioned that all the actions taken by the government, especially in the context of Malaysia, as stimulus that create positive and negative responses from the learning consumers. The study emulates the operant conditioning theory and proposes four different types of behavior categories that arises from the pandemic. The aim of this paper is to propose a conceptual framework of the market segmentation arising from COVID-19 pandemic. Methodology used by the study is based from the literature search and secondary data to come out with the suggested framework. The expected findings of the study are the four segments of the consumers based on their behavioral reactions post pandemic. The four segments are the back to square one, new normal, moderately new norm, and recycle consumer groups. Their preferences, needs, and wants can change the landscape of how market can be segmented apart from how business should react towards the changes in the future. Policy could be developed in terms of promoting the new norms behavior to overcome COVID-19 problems and future outbreaks as well as to ensure that Malaysia can be accommodative to the industrial revolution 4.0. Future research should be conducted to replicate the framework in different contexts and industries. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

With the proliferation of smartphones and the internet, cashless payments via smartphone or mobile payment system are becoming more popular. Quick Response (QR) code mobile payment is one of the cashless payment options available today. Using the extended theory of Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), this study investigates the intention of Malaysian Muslim millennials to opt for QR code mobile payment. The study was conducted as a cross-sectional study with a convenience sample. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed via Google forms on various social media applications. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyse the data. The results showed that perceived usefulness, perceived risk, hedonic motivation, and performance expectancy have a significant influence on the intention of Malaysian Muslim millennials to use QR code mobile payment as a payment method. Perceived ease of use and social influence, on the other hand, were not predictors of intention to use QR code mobile payment. This study contributes to filling the gap in the literature on technology acceptance, digital payments, and consumer behaviour. At the same time, this study can serve as a basis for QR code developers and retailers to better understand and serve their customers, and for the government to integrate more QR code applications into many government-provided services. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
