Traceability of The Halal Food Supply Chain in Brunei Darussalam /

By Nurul Aina Atiqah binti Haji Abidin . Brunei Darussalam : Universiti Teknologi Brunei, 2019 . viii, 59 pages : , ABSTRACT With the pace of the growing Halal Market, there is a higher consciousness regarding the halal integrity of the products and this can be done through an effective traceability system. As Brunei has taken an initiative to push forward the country's development as a global Halal Hub, this research aims to further strengthen the Halal Food Supply Chain in Brunei to ensure the integrity of the halal food is not compromised throughout the whole supply chain. A semi-structured interview approach is conducted to the local food companies in Brunei which are major players of the Halal Food Supply Chain. Three different traceability approaches were identified in this research, and the challenges faced by the participating local food companies in having efficient traceability were also highlighted. The research then provided suggestions for improvements of the traceability system and concluded that the development of technological advances, better coordination and collaboration of the supply chain networks, along with sufficient resources and government support and involvement will help in the success of Halal food supply chain traceability. It is hoped that the outcome of this research can provide a better view and understanding of what is occurring in the local halal food industry, particularly on the traceability matters and can therefore serve as a guidance for relevant stakeholders to maximize the traceability efforts in enhancing the Halal food supply chain integrity.

An Exploration Study on The Determinants of Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Internationalisation: The Case of Halal Food Processing Industry in Brunei Darussalam /

By Syahnur Farhana Binti Haji Shahlehi . Bandar Seri Begawan : Universiti Teknologi Brunei, 2024 . 340 pages : , Thesis Submitted in Fulfillment of The Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy | ABSTRACT Previous studies have fallen short of determining a comprehensive set of factors affecting the SMEs' decision to venture into the international arena, specifically within the Halal food industry where export engagement is reported to be low. Drawing on Dynamic Capabilities, Knowledge-Based View, and buttressed by Uppsala Model, this study aims to explore how the entrepreneurial, organisational, and external factors influence and hinder Bruneian Halal food processing SMEs to export. This qualitative study incorporates a case study approach and undertakes semi-structured interviews involving a total of eleven SMEs, consisting of four exporting SMEs and seven non-exporting SMEs. These SMEs were selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques. In addition to documentary analysis, several government agencies were also interviewed to enrich the findings. Thematic analysis in the forms of within-case analysis and cross-case analysis were conducted and this study found that entrepreneurial factors influencing SME internationalisation include a willingness to take risks, possession of knowledge and experience, innovation, adaptability, commitment, and networking abilities. Conversely, lack of creativity and competitiveness, risk aversion, and negative mind-sets, pose as hindering entrepreneurial factors. This study further revealed that organisational factors influencing SME internationalisation include access to adequate production and financial resources, high production capacity, effective marketing efforts, as well as availability of innovative and internationally Halal-certified products, in contrast to limited resources, low production capacity, and unsuitable product offerings, as hindering organisational factors. For the external factors, this study affirmed foreign intermediaries as influential factors and identified the role of local government assistance as both influencing and hindering elements in SME internationalisation. Additionally, challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and blaming culture further emerged as significant external factors affecting both exporting and non-exporting SMEs, exacerbating the process of SME internationalisation. This study contributes valuable insights to the body of knowledge in the under-researched fields of internationalisation and Halal spheres within the SME context. It also offers practical implications and recommendations for the practitioners and policymakers aimed at advancing the country's goal of internationalisation, which serves as a pivotal step towards economic diversification. One limitation of this study is the participation of only a small sample size as some Bruneian SMEs declined to participate. Consequently, this may affect the analytical generasibility of the findings. 30 cm..
