Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), especially in the snack industry sector, such as cassava crackers, play an important role in supporting the Indonesian economy through job creation and contribution to Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, MSMEs often face challenges in maintaining and expanding their market share amid increasingly fierce competition. This study aims to analyse the role of social capital in strengthening market segmentation strategies at Sadariyah Cassava Crackers Business in Blitar Regency. The method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The informants in this study were five people, consisting of business owners, employees, regular customers, and local community leaders. The results show that social capital, which includes strong social networks, trust between businesses and consumers, and the application of local social norms such as gotong royong, contributes significantly to expanding the market and maintaining customer loyalty. The market segmentation strategy applied based on demographic, psychographic, and consumer behaviour factors proved effective in reaching various customer groups. These findings imply that the synergy between social capital and the right market segmentation strategy can improve the competitiveness of MSMEs in a competitive market and promote sustainable business growth.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the development strategy of local wisdom-based sociopreneurship in the home industry center of Kampung Bathok Blitar. This village has potential products made from coconut shells that reflect cultural values and environmental sustainability. The integration of local values such as the use of natural materials by utilizing coconut shell waste, the spirit of mutual cooperation, and the preservation of cultural arts characterize the practice of sociopreneurship in the area. However, challenges such as limited market access, lack of production technology, and low participation of the younger generation hinder business development. Through a qualitative approach, this research identifies development strategies that include product diversification, digital marketing, strategic partnerships and human resource training. These strategies aim to improve business competitiveness, expand market access, and involve the younger generation in preserving cultural values. The results show that a local wisdom-based approach can be a sustainable sociopreneurship model, providing positive economic, social, and environmental impacts.

Abstract

The food micro, small, and medium enterprises in Blitar face significant challenges in managing various business risks, including financial, operational, and strategic risks, which often hinder business continuity and growth. This study aims to enhance the risk management capabilities of food business actors in Blitar through a structured training program based on the international ISO 31000 standard. The training was delivered using lectures, discussions, and case studies, and its effectiveness was evaluated using the Kirkpatrick Level 2 method by comparing participants’ understanding before and after the training. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test questionnaires covering key aspects of risk management knowledge and practical application. The results demonstrate a substantial improvement in participants’ comprehension, with the average score increasing from 1.85 before the training to 3.65 after the training. The most significant gains were observed in the practical use of risk matrices and the identification of major risk categories, while the smallest improvement was found in the area of financial record separation, which already had a high baseline understanding. These findings indicate that the training was effective in increasing both conceptual and practical understanding of risk management among food business actors in Blitar. It is concluded that systematic risk management training based on international standards can significantly strengthen the resilience and sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises in the local food sector.
