Abstract

Financial reports play a crucial role in supporting strategic decision-making for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, in practice, many MSMEs have not maximized the use of financial reports as a foundation for business evaluation and management decision-making. This article aims to examine the function of financial reports in business decision-making through a descriptive-analytical method, using a case study of an MSME in the culinary sector. The analysis focuses on the elements of financial reports, liquidity ratios, solvency, profitability, and cash flow, along with their implications for business strategy. Key findings reveal that high profits do not always reflect a healthy business if they are not accompanied by consistent operational cash flow. The case study of the MSME "Kopi Nusantara" shows that the root cause of the problem is not low sales or profitability, but rather weak working capital management, particularly inventory control and delays in cash receipts from digital channels. This article emphasizes that financial reports should be used as a managerial instrument, not merely an administrative tool. Practical implications of this research include strengthening MSME financial literacy, implementing simple, standards-based record-keeping, and utilizing financial report analysis to inform operational and strategic decisions.

Abstract

This research aims to formulate an appropriate competitive strategy for CV. Dichandra Labglass in facing competition within the laboratory glassware manufacturing industry. The method employed is SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) to map the company's internal and external factors. The results indicate that CV. Dichandra Labglass is positioned in an aggressive growth quadrant (Growth Oriented Strategy). The company's primary strengths lie in high-quality borosilicate materials, glassblowing artisans with over 15 years of experience, and a credible digital reputation as a Star Seller. However, the company faces internal constraints such as semi-manual production technology, a shortage of skilled labor due to the absence of formal education, and non-integrated administrative management. Externally, government policies regarding Domestic Component Level (TKDN) and industrial downstreaming trends present significant opportunities, amidst threats from cheap imported products and exchange rate volatility. The resulting competitive strategy is a differentiation strategy focused on after-sales services, including repair guarantees and specific product customization. This study concludes that strengthening brand identity and optimizing the digital ecosystem are keys to the company's sustainability in both domestic and international markets.
