Purpose Islamic attributes and activities need to be developed in compliance with the halal concept to attract potential Muslim tourists and ensure the success of halal tourism. Although the literature shows that many factors can influence the success of halal tourism, a complete picture of the success factors of halal tourism in a city is still very limited. As such, this explorative study aims to examine stakeholders’ perspectives regarding the antecedents of halal tourism success and the benefits of halal tourism for the city. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative system dynamics modeling was used for this study, and Makassar (a successful halal tourism city) was considered as the basis for the study. A causal loop diagram (CLD) of halal tourism was developed using the group model building technique to elicit stakeholders’ knowledge and assumptions. Network analysis and feedback loop analysis were used to identify the driving factors of successful halal tourism. Findings Two factors need to be taken into account by halal tourism stakeholders in the city: support from the central and local government and improving and maintaining potential tourists’ perceptions of the city. There are four benefits of halal tourism success for the city: an increase in the number of micro-, small- and medium-sized halal businesses in the city, increased support from the central and local government to further develop halal tourism infrastructure in the city, increased word-of-mouth promotion of Makassar as a tourism destination and a decrease in the price of halal tourism components (e.g. food and accommodation). Originality/value The resulting CLD shows the interlinkage between political, societal and economical factors that could influence the success of halal tourism development. In particular, the findings show how governments and tourism stakeholders need to promote halal tourism socialization in the community and improve the public perception of this type of tourism. Therefore, the findings can help destination stakeholders and tourism developers in other cities develop halal tourism potential.

The use of rational and intuitive information-processing systems is related to the entrepreneurial decision-making effectiveness. This study aims to comprehensively describe the literature that examines the effects of using rational and intuitive systems on entrepreneurial decision making. Leading literature databases are sought for studies published between 1995 and 2017 that evaluate rational and/or intuitive systems in relation to entrepreneurial decision making. We found ten empirical studies that met our inclusion criteria. There is some evidence from this research that the use of intuitive systems can positively influence entrepreneurial decision making in the early stages of entrepreneurship (e.g, opportunity identification). Other studies report mixed results regarding the impact of using rational and / or intuitive information processing systems for decision making at the next entrepreneurial stage (e.g, Exploitation of opportunities and financial performance). Based on the findings of this review, there are three further research opportunities, namely: (1) researchers must begin to learn about the ability of entrepreneurs to match their cognitive information processing systems with task characteristics; (2) assesses the effectiveness of decision making as the main outcome; and (3) study the construction of entrepreneurial behavior at the individual level in relation to the use of rational and intuitive information processing systems.

Indonesia's population has been dominated by young and Muslim people in recent years. However, these conditions are not comparable to the Islamic financial literacy level in Indonesia, which is still low. Therefore, there is a need for early education for young people who are in high school. This activity aims to provide an introduction and knowledge of Islamic finance to generation Z, namely, Islamic Senior High School (MAN) 3 Jakarta students. In its implementation, this workshop used video and game crossword puzzles to educate MAN 3 Jakarta students about Islamic finance. The results of the evaluation of this activity show that after the workshop, the number of students who answered correctly in the aspect of Islamic financial literacy drastically increased. After the workshop, the number of students who knew of Islamic financial institutions also increased. On the intention side, there is an increase in students' attractiveness to Islamic financial products and services. Therefore, educational workshops on Islamic finance need to be developed and carried out on a large scale not only for high school students but also for students and the public.

Meskipun penggunaan intuisi telah menjadi salah satu alat pengambilan keputusan yang disukai oleh CEO, manajer dan profesional, studi tentang bagaimana penggunaan intuisi dinilai di tempat kerja masih langka di literatur. Artikel ini bermaksud untuk mengatasi kesenjangan literatur ini dengan berbagi temuan tentang pentingnya penggunaan intuisi dan manifestasi praktisnya dalam profesi dari sudut pandang 85 manajer pembelian. Data menunjukkan bahwa intuisi sebagian besar dikenal sebagai: (1) kapasitas untuk membuat keputusan yang tepat melalui pengenalan pola; (2) kapasitas untuk membuat keputusan cepat; dan (3) kemampuan bernalar menggunakan pengalaman. Penemuan kami membuktikan bahwa penggunaan intuisi dihargai tidak hanya sejauh berkontribusinya pada kesuksesan sebuah pengambilan keputusan, tetapi juga untuk peningkatan kemampuan pribadi. Sayangnya, peserta dalam penelitian ini cenderung berbagi gagasan umum dan ambigu tentang pentingnya intuisi daripada menyajikan contoh kehidupan profesional berbasis praktik yang konkret yang menggambarkan pemahaman dan penerapannya dalam organisasi mereka.

Pengusaha menyesuaikan penggunaan sistem kognitif mereka agar sesuai dengan karakteristik tugas keputusan yang mereka hadapi untuk meningkatkan efektivitas pengambilan keputusan. Namun, literatur tidak memiliki bukti mengenai peran kemampuan untuk mencocokkan sistem kognitif dengan pengambilan keputusan dalam hubungan antara karakteristik tugas keputusan kewirausahaan dan efektivitas pengambilan keputusan. Penelitian ini berpendapat bahwa penggunaan sistem kognitif tertentu dipengaruhi oleh efek dari karakteristik tugas keputusan dan dimoderasi oleh kehadiran kemampuan untuk mencocokkan sistem kognitif dengan pengambilan keputusan. Dalam penelitian ini, teoriteori tentang efektivitas pengambilan keputusan, karakteristik tugas keputusan, dan kemampuan mencocokkan sistem kognitif dengan pengambil keputusan ditinjau dan diintegrasikan. Kemudian, sebuah proposisi dan model teoritis yang komprehensif dikembangkan. Kontribusi teoritis utama dari model ini juga dibahas.
