Abstract

This study aims to analyze the financial performance of MSMEs in Magelang City, Central Java, examine the effect of entrepreneurship and mental accounting as initial capital in achieving business sustainability, and formulate strategies for the sustainable development of MSMEs. A mixed-method approach was used, utilizing targeted surveys of MSME actors to collect quantitative data, which was then analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) through SmartPLS software. Qualitative data were collected from in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to capture the experiences and challenges faced by MSMEs. The results of the study indicate that the financial performance of MSMEs is still suboptimal despite government initiatives, such as the ‘UMKM Naik Kelas’ (MSME Upgrading) programme. Entrepreneurship and mental accounting have a significant influence on business sustainability, particularly in financial management and decision-making. Research on strengthening business sustainability through the role of entrepreneurship and mental accounting in financial performance is often constrained by the subjective nature of the variables, the limited availability of financial data, and the dynamic business environment. Strengthening these two aspects significantly increases the likelihood that MSMEs will not only survive but also grow and achieve optimal financial performance.

Abstract

Food Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play a strategic role in Indonesia's regional economic development, yet many face limited innovation capacity, low technology adoption, and weak institutional collaboration. Within the Regional Innovation System (RIS), Triple Helix collaboration among government, academia, and industry is expected to strengthen SME innovation performance. This study examines the effects of government policy, academic support, government–academia collaboration, and innovation on food SME performance. A mixed-methods approach within a post-positivist paradigm was employed. Quantitative data were collected from 75 food SMEs in Magelang, Ponorogo, and Bandung Regencies and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Qualitative data from interviews, observations, and Focus Group Discussions were descriptively analyzed and integrated with quantitative findings. Government policy had a positive and significant effect on innovation performance (β = 0.275; p = 0.011), while academic support (β = 0.121; p = 0.101) and government–academia collaboration (β = 0.120; p = 0.155) showed positive but insignificant effects. Innovation was the strongest predictor (β = 0.380; p < 0.001), and the model explained 46.6% of the variance in innovation performance (R² = 0.466). Qualitative findings showed that government programs were the primary external driver, whereas university engagement and institutional coordination remained fragmented. Strengthening coordinated Triple Helix collaboration and innovation capacity is essential to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of food SMEs.
