Abstract A structural equation model was used to verify both the direct and indirect influences on research and development and innovation capabilities that affect Thai automotive parts enterprises competitive advantage. Thailand’s automotive sector is a major driver of the economy with a multi-thousand network of both domestic and international companies contributing a significant amount to both domestic and Asian economic growth. After peaking in 2013 and reaching the Top 10 automotive nations, there has been a slide backwards. Competition is fierce and the pace of change ever quickening. Therefore, the researchers sought to determine how the automotive parts sector needed to improve in capability, skills and infrastructure to maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. From the structural equation model analysis of 220 regional automotive parts sector managers and use of AMOS software, it was determined that research and development combined with innovation plays key roles in the industry’s profitability and survivability. Additionally, there must be support across a wide sector of the economy, including universities, government agencies and institutions. Once championed as the ‘Detroit of Asia’, Thailand’s recognized success as a global automotive hub is a classic case of a well-executed industrial plan but that lead can potentially slip away without embracing new technologies and innovative thinking.

Halal Food

Halal food is one of the biggest issues that fill the academic and practical space in the sharia economy in the world today, so it is very important to be of more concern, especially in conducting sharia economic researches. Indonesia which is the largest Muslim-populated country in the world is the largest consumer of halal food in the world compared to other countries. In this study, consumers want to see halal labeled food that is influenced by religiosity and orientation over maslahah. In this study, the method used is the Structural equation model with the Amos Software tool. The sample used in this study was 176 Muslim students at the Mulia Cikarang Global Islamic Business Economics College.In this study, it was found that consumer loyalty is influenced by the satisfaction of consumers of halal-labeled foods. While the satisfaction of consumers of halal labeled food is influenced by religiosity and maslahah. This study also found that halal awareness is a variable that is significantly influenced by religiosity and not influenced by maslahah. So it is important to do more widespread ikhtiyar to build a more religious society to build halal awareness in the community. The findings are unique in this study where the direct influence of religiosity and orientation on maslahah is only significant to satisfaction and insignificant to loyalty. This means that the level of religiosity and orientation of existing maslahah in the new society can lead consumers of halal-labeled food to be satisfied consumers but not yet loyal consumers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore structural relationships among the variables of brand association, student trust, commitment, and satisfaction in the higher education sector. Design/methodology/approach A survey was used to collect data from a sample of 500 students who studied at universities in Taiwan in 2016. These data were gathered using a convenience sampling method and analyzed using a structural equation model. A total of 371 questionnaires (74.2 percent) were considered valid. Due to testing and identifying the hypothesis and structure among those variables, structural equation modeling was used to determine the best model among brand association, trust, commitment, and satisfaction. Findings For the conceptual framework, the author found that this structural equation model complies with the empirical data. The structural equation model shows that brand association, student trust, and commitment were significantly related to student satisfaction. Brand association has a direct influence on student trust, commitment, and satisfaction in higher education institutions. Student trust and commitment also had a direct influence on student satisfaction, and they are all mediating variables. Originality/value The findings of the current study add to the existing literature by contributing to a better perception of university management and providing acceptable strategies to improve the higher education industry.
