This study examines the effect of social media use on the innovation capabilities and business growth of MSMEs in Sumbawa Regency. The research method used is quantitative with a Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach. Data was collected through a survey of active MSME players who use social media in their business operations. The analysis results indicate that the use of social media has a positive and significant impact on the innovation capabilities of SMEs, as reflected in their ability to produce innovative and adaptive products and services. Additionally, the use of social media also contributes positively and significantly to the growth of SMEs, both directly and indirectly through enhanced innovation capabilities. These findings confirm that social media is a strategic tool for expanding market reach, enhancing digital marketing, and strengthening the competitiveness of SMEs in the digital era. This study also emphasizes the importance of developing innovation capabilities as a mediator in strengthening SME business growth.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of digital collaboration, government support, and technology access on entrepreneurial interest among Generation Z in Sumbawa Regency. A quantitative approach was adopted, employing surveys and Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis using SmartPLS 3.2.9. Primary data were collected from 100 Generation Z respondents (born 1997–2012) through an online Likert-scale questionnaire using purposive sampling. Measurement model evaluation confirmed convergent and discriminant validity, along with high instrument reliability. Structural model analysis revealed that technology access, digital collaboration, and government support significantly influenced entrepreneurial interest, with technology access being the most dominant predictor. These results highlight the importance of digital infrastructure in addressing geographical disparities, enhancing social influence via online networks, and reducing perceived risks through supportive policies. Practically, the findings provide guidance for stakeholders to modernize digital entrepreneurship programs, expand ICT infrastructure, and improve the dissemination of online policy initiatives. The study contributes theoretically by integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior with Social Cognitive Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model in a rural context. Limitations of the cross-sectional design suggest the need for longitudinal research to examine the dynamics of sustainable entrepreneurial behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of creativity and product innovation on business development and competitiveness in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), using Bale Seafood as a case study. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with the business owner and direct field observations. The findings reveal that the owner’s creativity in developing diversified processed seafood products, combined with continuous packaging innovation, significantly contributes to business growth, market expansion, and long-term sustainability. Innovation practices at Bale Seafood extend beyond product improvement to include adaptive learning processes, customer engagement, and community-based knowledge exchange. From an educational management perspective, these practices reflect informal learning, experiential knowledge development, and capacity building within the enterprise. The study implies that strengthening learning-based management, entrepreneurial education, and skill development is essential for enhancing MSME innovation capacity. Support from stakeholders, such as training programs and mentoring, can further facilitate the transfer of knowledge and the adoption of appropriate technology. Overall, integrating educational management principles into innovation strategies can serve as an effective approach to improving MSME competitiveness in dynamic market environments.
