dc.descriptionThe Malaysian Halal Industry is acknowledged as the global halal leader and it is a significant economic contributor to the nation’s well-being. However, the current halal industry participant(s) hoards its information, which causes information asymmetry (IA), which hinders its further growth. The Malaysian Government is drawn to this problem, and has suggested that the industry adopts the industry 4.0 (IR4) to mitigate this IA, but for now, the response(s) has been far from ideal. Therefore, this issue generates an opportunity to exploring why the IA is happening in the Malaysian halal industry. This study investigating the participant(s) halal industry IA issues and their intention to adopt technologies to mitigate the IA. Additionally, this study also investigated the moderating effects of their perceptions towards IR4 adoption and their intentions of using IR4 to mitigate these IA. 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. We collected the data from the 100-top management/companies provided by the Halal Industry Development Corporation (HDC). The research using the SmartPLS software “Partial Least Squares (PLS)” modelling and the 2-step approach to test the model development. The results show that the IA issues faced by the top management of the halal industry have a positive relationship with their intention to mitigate this information asymmetry (IA) by adopting technologies method. The concepts of private information, hidden information, and the lack of perfect information have facilitated these companies’ top management intentions to mitigate these IA issues. The results also show that the top management of halal industry has the intention to reduce these IA through IR4 adoption as they perceived IR4 is useful, easy to use, is cost affordable, and provides a high system and content quality. This study shades some light to resolve the government concerns as the findings are related to the local halal participants’ perception of current management practises & perceptions vis-�-vis inadequate decisions information and adoption IR4.,Master of Commerce-
