Abstract

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), especially those operating in the craft industry, often remain overlooked and receive minimal attention from researchers and policymakers even though they have an important role in increasing exports and employment in Indonesia. Nevertheless, craft MSMEs face significant challenges in maximizing innovation and enhancing competitiveness to improve financial performance. Hence, this study aims to investigate how innovation and firm competitiveness influence the financial performance of craft MSMEs. This study utilizes the SEM AMOS analysis tool with data from 403 business actors across three craft centers in West Java: Tasikmalaya, Majelengka, and Bandung. The findings reveal that product, process, and green innovation significantly influence and partially mediate the connection between entrepreneurial orientation and competitiveness. Competitiveness completely mediates the influence of product and green innovation on craft MSMEs' financial performance. Meanwhile, process innovation significantly impacts financial performance both directly and indirectly, emphasizing its importance in enhancing competitiveness and financial outcomes. Continuous improvement and innovation are crucial for boosting competitiveness and financial performance.

Abstract

Earnings management still become a phenomenon both in Indonesia and abroad. Many cases of earnings management practices have occurred and the company's amount of leverage is one of the drivers of earnings management practices. This research aims to examine and describe the relationship between various debt policy, profitability, and company size on earning management moderated by firm age. The selected samples were 102 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2010-2018. The independent variables in this study include DER, bank debt, short-term debt and long-term debt, age, and company size. Earnings management as the dependent variable in this study uses the Modified Jones Model. The results of the regression equation analysis show that all debt policy proxies consistently have a negative and significant effect on earnings management. Furthermore, the company's experience as a proxy for firm age strengthens the relationship between debt policy and earnings management practices. More interestingly, specifically among the three debt policies, bank debt is the policy that is most able to represent the influence on earnings management practices. This indicates that the most effective monitoring of earnings management practices comes from banking institutions. Overall, the profit information shown in financial statements is the product of earnings management, so the level of quality of financial reports is deserving of close inspection and prudence when making decisions based simply on profit information.
