Abstract

General Background: Youth entrepreneurship is a critical strategy for fostering economic self-reliance and innovation. Specific Background: In Indonesia, the Scout Movement has increasingly integrated character and skill-building programs, offering an opportunity to embed entrepreneurial education. Knowledge Gap: Despite awareness of entrepreneurship, practical understanding and application among adolescents—especially using tools like the Business Model Canvas (BMC)—remain limited. Aims: This study aims to enhance entrepreneurial interest and competency among 17-year-old Scout members through BMC design training. Results: Conducted as a participatory workshop, the training included lectures, business site visits, group simulations, and peer assessments. The findings showed that 66.7% of participants were unfamiliar with BMC prior to the workshop, but post-training evaluations revealed improved comprehension, with peer assessment scores averaging 3.08–4.00 (out of 5), and self-ratings predominantly between 7 and 9 (out of 10). Novelty: This study contributes novel insights into the integration of entrepreneurship education within a non-formal setting, specifically through experiential and peer-based learning methods tailored for Scout members. Implications: The findings suggest that structured, interactive training using BMC can effectively cultivate entrepreneurial mindset and skills in youth, and support the strategic inclusion of business education in character-based programs like Scouting.Highlight : Hands-on BMC Training: Scout members engaged in designing business models using the Business Model Canvas to enhance entrepreneurial skills. Peer-Based Learning: Activities included peer assessment to deepen understanding through evaluation and feedback. Youth-Centered Approach: The training targeted 17-year-old Scout members, aligning with their developmental stage and promoting real-world business thinking.

Abstract

Background: Micro businesses have been recognised globally for their contribution to wealth and job creation, but they continue to face sustainability challenges due to limited resources, networks, and managerial capacity. An approach to overcome these limitations is to create informal strategic alliances through collaborative efforts. Most studies, however, assume that social capital in business networks evolves naturally, thus overlooking the role of external facilitation in intentionally constructing social capital, especially in the context of developing countries with the proliferation of micro-enterprises. Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine the social construction process of social capital in informal strategic alliances in microenterprises, with particular attention to the role of MSME companions as external facilitators. Methods: A qualitative approach with a case study design focusing on the Gerai Jajanan Turki (GJT) community in Depok City. A combination of methods was used to collect data, including semi-structured interviews with business actors and customers, a survey, and document analysis. NVivo 15 was used for thematic analysis. Results: This research found that informal alliances and social capital were constructed in GJT through the facilitation of MSME companions. Companions aided in establishing connections between business actors and assisted in communication, role allocation, and dispute resolution, resulting in partnerships replete with trust and stable business alliances. Conclusion: The construction of collaborative networks can be facilitated by external facilitators. This study builds upon the social capital construction framework by proposing that trust and cooperative norms may be purposefully created through facilitative means.
