Abstract

This study aims to analyst the influence of market orientation and learning orientation on business performance, with technology orientation serving as a mediating variable. Technology orientation is vital for SMEs to adapt to technological advancements and maintain competitiveness. Data collection was conducted via questionnaires distributed to MSMEs supported by LAZISMU East Java, and the data were processed using SmartPLS with PLS-SEM analysis. The results indicate that market orientation and learning orientation directly influence both technology orientation and business performance. Furthermore, technology orientation mediates the impact of market orientation and learning orientation on business performance. Integrating market orientation, learning orientation, and technology orientation results in MSMEs that are not only capable of responding to market needs but are also adaptive, innovative, and highly competitive. Consequently, a development strategy combining market-based and learning-based approaches is expected to foster sustainable business growth and strengthen MSME resilience in the face of increasingly complex business environment dynamics.

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of competitor orientation and customer orientation on business performance mediated by learning orientation. Learning orientation is taken as a mediating variable, because MSMEs must continue to learn and learn, so that they are able to have a competitive advantage. Muhammadiyah's role in supporting this is through the LAZISMU institution, namely through the MSME empowerment program. The MSME empowerment program, in addition to distributing funds, also provides coaching and learning for MSME actors so that they can run their businesses well. This study uses a quantitative approach, by distributing research questionnaires to MSME actors fostered by LAZISMU. There are 53 respondent data processed using SmartPLS. This study uses PLS-SEM analysis with the results of the direct influence between customer orientation on learning orientation and business performance showing positive and significant results, as well as the influence of competitor orientation on business performance. However, competitor orientation on customer orientation does not show a direct influence. The results of the mediation test, the influence of customer and competitor orientation on business performance can be mediated by learning orientation. This shows that learning orientation improves the organization's ability to translate market insights into strategies and innovations that improve business performance. In other words, only MSMEs that are able to internalize customer information and use it as a basis for continuous learning will be able to consistently create business value.
