Abstract

In recent decades, entrepreneurship has become one of the main pillars of economic development, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Makassar City, as one of the economic centers in Eastern Indonesia, has an important role in encouraging the growth of the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. One of the efforts made by the government and various institutions is to develop a Business Incubator Program, which aims to accelerate the growth of entrepreneurs through educational support, training, and guidance. In Makassar District, Bara-Baraya Timur Village, the development of local entrepreneurs is getting more attention. Business incubators in this area offer programs to help local entrepreneurs develop business skills, increase access to capital, and open wider networks. Although business incubators have proven successful in various countries, their implementation in each region can certainly provide different results, depending on the characteristics of the economic and social environment. In Bara-Baraya Timur Village, there are several challenges faced by one of the local entrepreneurs interviewed by the researcher, such as lack of management skills, and increasingly tight competition. Therefore, the researcher decided to conduct further research on “The influence of business incubators on the entrepreneurial economy in Makassar City, Bara-Baraya Timur Village”.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of product innovation and digital promotion on purchasing decisions with Brand Awareness as an intervening variable at Fashion Businesses in Gowa Regency. In the context of increasingly fierce competition in the fashion industry, innovation, and digital-based marketing strategies are key to improving competitiveness. This study uses a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Square (PLS). Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents who were fashion businesses customers, then analyzed using SmartPLS version 4.00 software. The results show that product innovation and digital promotion have a significant effect on Brand Awareness, with a loading factor value above 0.7 and Average Variance Extracted (AVE) meeting the validity criteria. Brand Awareness is also proven to mediate the positive influence of product innovation and digital promotion on purchasing decisions. Path analysis reveals that Brand Awareness acts as an intervening variable that strengthens the relationship between marketing strategy and purchasing decisions.
