The global Halal industry is one of the world’s fastest-growing consumer segments, as evidenced by substantial research and published papers. This paper aims to identify and characterize the factors that influence organizational performance in companies within the Halal industry. It also offers an overview of the factors influencing companies’ organizational performance in various Halal industry sectors. A systematic Literature Review (SLR) of the Web of Science, Scopus, Emerald, and Science Direct databases guided by PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta- Analyses) protocol was used to analyze the data. The electronic database’s search results included articles focused on halal certification, halal product development, and supply chain management. A methodical review of these articles found four main factors that influence the organizational performance of halal companies: 1) the strategic management of Halal business, 2) the management of Halal requirements, 3) the understanding of consumer demands, and 4) the creation of the best organizational environment. This review provides detailed guidelines based on important research findings on how Halal organizations can manage and excel in their businesses. As a result, companies can better minimize the effect of volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) environments in managing the business.

On the 18 th of March, 2020, a Movement Control Order (MCO) was announced by the Malaysian government, and with the announcement, numerous regulations have been imposed to the public under the Prevention and Control of Infectious Diseases Act 1988, to prevent and curb the spread of COVID-19. The whole world was shocked and the experts were rattled. COVID-19 has brought the world to a standstill. The pandemic has affected all walks of life and sectors, including the education sector. Nationwide lockdown has prompted drastic changes, pushing the stakeholders to completely overhaul existing educational practices and strategies, with limited time and resources. Although the past decades have seen radical change in underlying beliefs and theories in the context of teaching and learning, the unforeseen, inadvertent and pushed transition from the orthodoxy of face to face, classroom-centric to 100% online has become a gamechanger, instigating significant and widespread presence of technological-enhanced or digital-supported instructions. Amid the upheaval, and despite institutional and individual constraints, academics and universities were resilient, migrating and converting lessons online, leveraging on numerous digital/ online learning platforms (OLPs), at a breakneck pace. However, the questions lie in how quickly can the students adapt, and how effective are these OLPs in scaffolding the 'new norm' of interactions? In fact, some researchers have argued that there are disparities between potentials and solutions fashioned by technology in education. In view of these major adjustments to the teaching and learning environments, this study is aimed to examine the effectiveness of eLearn, a web-based online learning platform, specifically its perceived usefulness, perceived satisfaction and perceived facilitation of student-teacher and

YouTube has leveraged their native sharing properties and making all content digitally available to everyone under the Creative Commons license (ford.digitalsnippets.com, 2010). Thousands of movies have been uploaded to YouTube for free viewings and has affected broadcasting and cinema industry greatly (Brody, 2012). This paper is to share sets of predicted elements in YouTube said to be responsible in gratifying its multi-purposes viewers and instill continuance intentions to use the UGC for movie watching among Malaysians in Klang Valley. This was done by integrating the uses and gratification framework with several disconfirmations of motivations (content, social, process, and technology).

The study identified the relationships between technology acceptance and purchase intentions on movie mobile advertising among Twitter users in Malaysia. Technology Acceptance Model was used to predict the acceptance of computer-based technology based on technology use and usefulness. The objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between attitude (technology acceptance) towards movie mobile branding in Malaysia and purchase intention. Data was randomly collected from 400 Twitter users in Malaysia and analyzed with statistical analysis (SPSS) using descriptive and correlation analysis. The findings of this paper advocate that technology acceptance attitudes in movie mobile branding contributed significantly towards movie purchase intention in Malaysia. This paper introduces the contribution of attitudes in the study of branding communication utilizing mobile telecommunications technology in Malaysia.
