Abstract

This study attempts to investigate the participant(s) halal industry information asymmetry issues and their intention, if any, to mitigate it. Additionally, this study also investigates the moderating effects of their perceptions towards industry 4.0 adoption and their intentions of using industry 4.0 to mitigate information asymmetry. This research is exploratory research. We adapted the questionnaire based on “Agency Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model” by combining management and technology literature into single-sourced literature. The research using the SmartPLS software “Partial Least Squares (PLS)” modelling and the 2-step approach to test the model development. The concepts of private information, hidden information, and the lack of perfect information have facilitated these companies’ top management intentions to mitigate these information asymmetry issues. The results also show that the top management of halal industry has the intention to reduce information asymmetry through industry 4.0 adoption as they perceived industry 4.0 is useful, easy to use, is cost affordable, and provides a high system and content quality.

马来西亚清真产业中小企业的信息不对称与工业4.0

本研究试图调查参与者(s)清真产业信息不对称问题和他们的意图，如果有的话，减轻它。此外，本研究还调查了他们对工业4.0采用的看法和他们使用工业4.0缓解信息不对称的意图的调节作用。本研究为探索性研究。我们对基于“代理理论与技术接受模型”的问卷进行了调整，将管理和技术文献合并为单一来源的文献。本研究采用SmartPLS软件的“偏最小二乘(PLS)”建模和两步法对模型进行开发测试。私有信息、隐藏信息和缺乏完美信息的概念促进了这些公司高层管理人员减轻这些信息不对称问题的意图。结果还表明，清真行业的高层管理人员有意通过采用工业4.0来减少信息不对称，因为他们认为工业4.0有用，易于使用，成本合理，并提供高质量的系统和内容。
