Abstract

Objective: Nowadays, it's a phenomenon that many people switch jobs to become entrepreneurs. Limited access necessitates that entrepreneurs build networks and establish trust to enhance the company's business performance. Research Design & Methods: This research contributes to a successful co-creation model to ensure MSMEs achieve superior business performance and fills the research gap between entrepreneurial network quality and business performance. Using the SEM AMOS statistical tool, a normality test was conducted on the initial data of 250 MSME players in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, resulting in 160 players. Findings: All results showed that the significance level met the hypothesis requirements. Successful co-creation plays an important role in mediating between entrepreneur network quality and entrepreneur trust quality increases business performance. Implications & Recommendations: The successful co-creation is an alliance of partners and part of the reconfiguration of business performance, if you have a loyal supplier network, a value-added network, a quality network, and a supportive professional organisation. Contribution & Value Added: The research contributes to the development of knowledge of relational marketing theory through the development of co-creation.
