Proponents of supply chain management (SCM) suggest that understanding the CSFs of SCM practices allows firms to realize supply chain benefits. However, few researchers consider the environmental aspects while discussing the CSFs of SCM, particularly in the automotive industry, the focus of this study. Despite the plethora of CSFs of SCM suggested in the literature, it is still unclear whether the identified CSFs of SCM lead to similar resulting benefits within the GSCM environment. This paper therefore contributes to filling these gaps by examining the CSFs of GSCM practices in the automotive industry in Malaysia. The study adopts a single case study method, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, observation and document reviews from an automotive manufacturing firm operating in Malaysia.

Proponents of GSCM suggest that as an advanced corporate environmental governance practice, GSCM is an important corporate strategy deployed for sustainability particularly in the automotive industry. However, little is understood about the deployment of GSCM within an automotive industry operating in a developing country like Malaysia. The present study addresses this literature gap by focusing on both the GSCM deployment procedures and practices within the Malaysian automotive industry. The study adopts a qualitative research methodology, with data collected through semi-structured interviews, observation and document reviews from a single automotive manufacturing case firm operating in Malaysia. Consistent with the literature, our findings suggest that the case firm uses a holistic and systemic approach to deploy GSCM practices. This holistic GSCM deployment approach i...

Specifically, this paper studies the impact of off-balance sheet activities towards bank risk such as default risk, liquidity risk and leverage risk for Islamic and conventional bank in Malaysia. The aim of this study is to examine the effects the individual off-balance sheet activities towards bank risks as well as to compare their off-balance sheet attitudes between Islamic and conventional banking operators in Malaysia. The study consists of three years unbalanced panel data from 2006-2008. The quantitative analysis using General Least Square estimation to these two different groups of banks provides mixed results.

In Malaysia, Islamic banks operate side-by-side with conventional banks. Both their operations are based on their own principles and frameworks although some regulations might overlap with each other. This study aims to explore the treatment of loan loss provisions as a tool in managing earnings and capital for both banks during the period 1993 to 2009. The paper discusses whether Islamic and conventional banks behave in the same way when dealing with loan loss provisions. The hypotheses testing employed pooled regression with generalized least square estimation for four independent variables: i) return on average assets, ii) earnings before tax and provisions, iii) nonperforming loans, and iv) capital ratio. The findings prove that Islamic and conventional banks in Malaysia use loan loss provisions in their earnings...

During the last ten years, the IB industry has witnessed changes in economic conditions and proved to be resilient during the periods of financial crisis. This paper aims to examine the important issues related to credit risk in selected Islamic banks in nine countries from Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) regions. It employs the generalized least squares panel data regression, to estimate the ratio of non-performance financing to total financing as dependent variables and bank specific variables (BSV) to determine the credit risk. It uses 12 years of unbalanced panel data from 40 different Islamic banks. The overall findings show that financing quality has a significant positive effect on credit risk. It is observed that the larger IBs owned more assets with lower credit risk compared to smaller banks. The bank’s age...

After more than 60 years Barisan Nasional ruling the country, in the 2018 general election Barisan Nasional lose the game to the Pakatan Harapan. The results of the 14th general election has caused a shock not only to political arena but also to the Malaysian financial market. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate if there is any significant effect of 14th Malaysia general election on the Malaysia financial market specifically the stock market. Results from the statistical analysis reveal that there are significant changes in the Malaysia stock market performance after the 14th general election.

This paper is motivated to introduce Islamic financing types (IFT) and banks ownership status (STATUS) as additional factors in investigating the key drivers. This study also investigates the level of credit risk between the crisis and non-crisis period. This study employs a panel data analysis method using generalized least squares (GLS) regression for random effect model. The dependent variable is credit risk which assumed to be a function of bank-specific variables and other potential variables that are ownership status, Islamic financing types and financial crisis. The sample of this study comprised of 160 observations for 15 full-fledged Islamic banks in Malaysia, covering the period of 2000 to 2016. The finding suggests that financing expansion, financing and capital buffer are amongst important drivers that significantly influence the level of credit risk of Malaysian Islamic banks. The ...

The study explores the fundamental features of risks associated with Islamic banks (IBs) as compared to those associated with conventional banks (CBs) in order to determine the extent to which IBs engage in effective risk mitigation. The study includes a consideration of the major studies in which the fundamental features of Islamic banks and finance (IBF) and the main characteristics of risk management in IBs are analyzed in comparison with those of CBs. Specifically, these two kinds of banks are compared in relation to the types of risks faced, the characteristics of those risks, and the nature and extent of exposure to those risks. A tabular methodology approach is used in concert with a comparative literature review approach for the analysis. The results show that there is weak support for Shariah-based product development due to the lack of risk mi...
