Abstract

The important role of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in driving economic growth requires a deep understanding of the factors that influence their performance. The number of samples in this study was 175 respondents, processed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method through the AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structure) program. This research explores the dynamics of entrepreneurial competence and product innovation as the main determinants of SME success. In the context of SMEs that have survived for two years in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi, this research reveals that increasing entrepreneurial competence has a positive impact on business performance. Simultaneously, effective product innovation is proven to make a significant contribution to superior business outcomes. This study also highlights the mediating role of the market environment, demonstrating its influence on the relationship between entrepreneurial competence, product innovation, and business performance. These findings provide valuable insights for policy makers, educators and business actors who aim to increase the competitiveness and adaptability of SMEs amidst rapid business change.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of halal information, promotion, and brand image on consumer purchase intention toward halal products, with perceived value as a moderating variable. Employing a quantitative research design with a sample of 377 respondents in Indonesia, data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS). The findings demonstrate that halal information, promotional efforts, and brand image significantly influence consumer purchase intentions. Furthermore, perceived value strengthens the relationships between these factors and consumer trust, ultimately impacting purchase decisions. The originality of this study lies in its comprehensive integration of key variables—halal information, promotion, brand image, and perceived value—into a unified model that enhances understanding of consumer behavior in the halal market. From a practical perspective, this study highlights the strategic importance for halal product marketers to deliver transparent halal information, adopt value-driven promotional strategies, and build a trustworthy brand image to appeal to increasingly discerning consumers. Socially, the study contributes to promoting ethical consumption aligned with Islamic values. While the results are promising, future research could expand the geographical scope or include comparative analysis across different demographic segments to generalize findings further.

Abstract

This study examines how innovation capability and market orientation influence agribusiness performance through post-harvest process innovation in the case of Bemba Arabica in Enrekang. A quantitative-explanatory design using PLS-SEM was employed with 80 multi-source respondents (farmers/groups, operators/QC, managers/marketing, B2B buyers). A Likert-type 1–5 instrument was tested for reliability and validity; a structural model assessed direct, indirect, and total effects. Results indicate innovation capability and market orientation have a significant positive effect on process innovation; process innovation has a significant positive effect on agribusiness performance. The direct effect of innovation capability on performance is small but significant, while the direct effect of market orientation on performance is insignificant indicating a dominant mediating role of process innovation. Findings confirm that standardized SOPs for fermentation–drying, QC/cupping, and traceability are the primary pathways for converting “market voice” and innovation capability into economic value. Practical implications include prioritizing standardization across suppliers, strengthening measurement/experimentation capacity, and managing structured market feedback.
