Abstract

This study examines the effect of knowledge sharing on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with a mentoring program as a mediating variable among fostered partners of PT Perkebunan Nusantara III. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method through structured questionnaires. The population consisted of all MSMEs supported by PT Perkebunan Nusantara III, with 96 business actors selected using purposive sampling based on established development criteria. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to evaluate the relationships among variables simultaneously. The results indicate that knowledge sharing has a positive and significant effect on MSME performance. Furthermore, the mentoring program significantly strengthens the influence of knowledge sharing on business performance. This finding suggests that knowledge sharing becomes more effective when supported by mentoring that is relevant, continuous, and aligned with organizational needs. The study provides practical implications for partnership program managers to develop mentoring as a strategic mechanism to improve knowledge transfer and enhance MSME performance.

Abstract

This study evaluates the economic potential and strategic options for utilizing oil palm frond waste as an additional source of income for farmers and communities living around the plantation. The research was conducted from June to August 2026 at the Sei Meranti Estate of PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV, Meranti Makmur Village, Rokan Hilir Regency, Riau Province. A descriptive mixed-methods design was employed. The study involved 65 respondents, selected using the Slovin formula and proportionate stratified random sampling, together with eight key informants chosen through purposive sampling. Data were collected through observation, questionnaires, interviews, documentation, and a literature review. The analytical procedures included descriptive analysis, cost and revenue analysis, income analysis, the revenue–cost ratio, income contribution analysis, and SWOT analysis using the IFAS and EFAS matrices. The findings indicate that 60% of respondents reported that oil palm fronds were still arranged between planting rows and had not yet been processed into commercial products. Fermented animal feed emerged as the most promising alternative, generating a net income of IDR 4,500,000 per month, an R/C ratio of 1.75, and an income contribution of 8.57%. The SWOT analysis positioned the business development strategy in Quadrant I. The priority strategies include establishing a group-based business unit, providing processing training, procuring shredding machinery, standardizing production processes, conducting market trials, and strengthening collaboration among the company, the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), the village government, and local livestock farmers.

Abstract

This research aims to uncover the factors contributing to the success of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) within partnership programs. The study focuses on a population of MSMEs affiliated with PT XYZ, where 243 businesses were identified as successful in MSMEs development. Employing a saturated sampling method, the study's sample size consisted of 243 MSMEs. Data collection utilized tailored questionnaires for each variable indicator. The data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares with Smart PLS 4. Based on the analysis results, it can be concluded that Partnership Attributes have a significant direct effect on Partnership Programs (β = 0.954, p = 0.000) and Partnership Success (β = 0.436, p = 0.000). Additionally, Partnership Programs significantly directly affect Partnership Success (β = 0.363, p = 0.001). Apart from the direct impact, it was also found that the interaction between Partnership Attributes and Partnership Programs significantly moderates Partnership Success (β = -0.075, p = 0.011). This means that Partnership Programs can moderate the relationship between Partnership Attributes and Partnership Success, although with a negative direction. These findings indicate that an effective partnership in terms of attributes and programs contributes to business success. However, their interaction must be well managed to prevent any negative impact on partnership success. This research contributes to entrepreneurship and partnership management by providing empirical evidence of the effects of Partnership Attributes and Partnership Programs on Partnership Success in the context of MSMEs. The study highlights the significance of coordination, trust, and mutual benefits in fostering successful business partnerships. Additionally, the moderating role of Partnership Programs offers insights into how structured support mechanisms influence business outcomes. For further research, it is suggested that longitudinal studies be explored to assess the sustainability of partnership success over time. Future studies could also incorporate external factors such as market dynamics, digital transformation, and policy interventions to comprehensively understand MSME partnerships. Additionally, expanding the research scope to different industries and geographic locations would enhance the generalizability of the findings.
