Abstract

MSMEs play a vital role in the country's economic growth by significantly contributing to job creation, poverty alleviation, and economic equality. Peanut bread is one of the typical souvenirs from the city of Tebing Tinggi besides lemang and other products. Currently, the development of peanut bread production businesses is increasingly widespread in Tebing Tinggi with various brands and flavors. One of them is the Mpok Atik peanut bread brand. One of the problems faced by this MSME is limited capital, where there is competition from large producers, and market access is still limited. This campus collaborative activity program is a type of community service activity in helping solve problems that exist in the community / MSMEs. The enlightenment provided by the team about digitalization plays a vital role in driving the growth of the Mpok Atik peanut bread MSME. By implementing various digital-based marketing, MSMEs can compete in the increasingly competitive modern era by utilizing technology to increase market access, improve brand image, and remain competitive. This peanut bread MSME excels because its products have the characteristics of a local identity, authentic taste.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the main strategies in increasing the competitiveness and sustainability of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the tourism sector in Medan City through digitalization and technological innovation in the framework of an inclusive economy. The focus of the research includes the use of digital technology in marketing, optimization of online reservation systems, the use of e-commerce platforms, and the application of service automation to increase operational efficiency and MSME revenue. Digitalization is seen as a strategic solution to overcome MSMEs' dependence on conventional methods in marketing, production, and business management which has been the main obstacle in facing competition with large companies and imported products. Based on data from the Medan City Cooperative Office, there are around 18,000 active MSMEs, but the level of digital adoption still varies. This study uses a quantitative method with purposive sampling techniques on 100 MSMEs from the souvenir, culinary, and handicraft subsectors that have interacted with local digitalization programs. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with a Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) approach because the research variables were latent and construct-based. This approach allows testing of structural relationships as well as direct and indirect influences between variables. The novelty of this research lies in the development of the Conceptual Model of Inclusive Digitalization for SME Competitiveness (CDISC), which integrates digital inclusivity indicators—including digital access, digital literacy, and technological readiness—with MSME competitiveness indicators. The results of the research are expected to make a theoretical and practical contribution to the development of MSME digitalization policies that are sustainable, inclusive, and oriented towards increasing turnover, expanding market reach, and operational efficiency of MSMEs in Medan City
