Abstract

The presence of MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) in Indonesia plays a crucial role in driving the Indonesian economy, particularly at the grassroots level. However, the adoption of information technology and digitalization within MSMEs often lacks strategic methods, such as financial analysis or forecasting. MSMEs tend to approach emerging technology solutions with caution. To help MSMEs better understand the advantages of adopting digital transformation, it is essential to evaluate the performance of their digitalization efforts. This study aims to explore how MSMEs in Indonesia can sustain and grow in the digital era by implementing digital business strategies, focusing on digital capabilities and literacy, and examining their influence on perceived business performance. Data collection was conducted through an online survey over six months, from July 2022 to January 2023, targeting 400 MSME respondents across Indonesia. Hypothesis testing was performed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using SmartPLS The findings indicate that digitalization capabilities, on their own, do not have a direct, significant positive impact on perceived business performance. However, when mediated by digitalization performance, these capabilities show a significant and positive effect on perceived business outcomes. Results indicate that the influence of digitalization capabilities and literacy on digitalization performance and perceived business performance ranges from moderate to strong. Additionally, the findings reveal that MSME actors do not yet prioritize perceived business performance in digitalization, as digitalization is still viewed as an additional expense. Therefore, stronger digital literacy is needed regarding the more measurable results of digitalization implementation.

Specifically, this study aims to explore the effect of greenwashing, green trust, and perceived value on consumer brand loyalty among Generation Z mediated by green satisfaction on local cosmetics brands. A quantitative perspective research design using PLS-SEM analysis and distributed online among 246 local cosmetic product consumers was used in this research. This study reveals that greenwashing, green trust and perceived value produce both direct and indirect effects on brand loyalty through green satisfaction towards eco-friendly products. The study extends and fills the gap in the literature by furthering our understanding of brand loyalty in a sustainable beauty context by spotlighting greenwashing, trust, and perceived value as critical aspects.

This study uses social exchange theory to determine the role of expertise, authenticity, and subjective norms on trust in optimizing product attitude, loyalty to influencers and purchase intention. Social exchange theory considers the impact of the relationship between two individuals. Researchers added subjective norms as a novelty in this study. The object of the research focuses on perfume products. The subjects in this study were Generation Y and Z. Researchers used a quantitative approach, primary data was collected by distributing questionnaires using purposive sampling. The analysis technique used the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) test. The results showed that the relationship between subjective norms on trust and trust on product attitude, loyalty to influencers, and purchase intention has a positive and significant influence. The relationship between expertise and authenticity variables to trust has an insignificant effect. These findings provide important insights for companies to develop social media marketing strategies that utilize subjective norms and trust to build product attitudes, loyalty to influencers, and purchase intention.

Abstract

Innovation plays a crucial role in shaping business competitive advantage. However, there is still little research in the digital era explaining how small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can produce innovative performance amidst rapid technological developments. This study suggests that digital leadership is essential in driving innovative performance to achieve a competitive advantage. Drawing on the upper-echelon theory, this research examines how digital leadership influences competitive advantage through innovative performance. The survey was distributed to owners or managers of SMEs across several industries in Indonesia. A total of 113 SMEs took part in the survey and were included in the data collection. The data was analyzed using structural equation modeling with the AMOS software. The research findings confirm that digital leadership influences SMEs' competitive advantage through innovative performance. Cross-sectional research and a self-report questionnaire are utilized in this investigation. We then engage in a thorough discussion of the research's implications.

Abstract

Despite the increased concerns about the significance of CSR for business, only a few empirical studies of CSR orientation are available. Understanding stakeholders’ CSR orientations are pivotal to devising appropriate CSR strategies. This study investigates perceptions of CSR Orientation among Indonesian and Thai consumers and examines economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic dimensions. A questionnaire with an imperative scale to measure relative importance was administered to 300 business students in both countries. Findings revealed that economic responsibility ranked the highest for both groups, aligning with previous empirical studies. However, significant variations emerged regarding legal, ethical, and philanthropic priorities. Thai consumers emphasized ethical responsibility, while their Indonesian counterparts prioritized legal and philanthropic dimensions. These distinctions challenged the universality of CSR frameworks, establishing a new perspective on the substantial influence of cultural, regulatory, and societal factors. Further, the study punctuated the demand for companies to adjust CSR strategies adhering to distinct national contexts. To strengthen comprehension of CSR orientations, further study is advised to explore cross-cultural differences, the impact of developmental stages, and diverse sample demographics. These findings encompass significant implications for businesses operating in multiple cultural settings, emphasizing the imperative of adapting CSR practices to engage with local communities and consumers effectively.
