Abstract

This study examines the implementation of product innovation and e-commerce strategies in managing batik SMEs using a sustainability industry approach in Seberang, Jambi City. The study aimed to analyze how product innovation and digital marketing can support them, to explore their understanding and implementation of product innovation and e-commerce, as well as the challenges and sustainability outcomes. Data were collected through the following triangulation methods: observations were carried out during visits to batik workshops and SME locations, literature and document reviews relevant, and semi-structured interviews with in-depth Interviews were conducted with selected owners and managers of batik SMEs in Seberang Kota Jambi. The results showed that innovation in batik design, the use of eco-friendly materials, and the development of Jambi-specific motifs increased the market value of batik, strengthened cultural identity, and appealed to environmentally conscious consumers. On the other hand, e-commerce helped SMEs expand their market reach nationally and internationally, allowing them to compete more effectively. However, several challenges remain, including limited capital for innovation, low digital literacy among business owners, and a lack of policy support from the government. These barriers hindered the full adoption of innovation and digital strategies. Theoretically, this research contributed by enriching the concept of product innovation with a cultural and sustainability-based perspective, expanding the application of e-commerce theory to traditional MSMEs, and reinforcing sustainability theory in the creative industries rooted in local heritage. Moreover, it introduced a new managerial model that integrated local cultural values with modern digital business strategies, offering a practical framework for sustainable development in traditional SME sectors.

Abstract

This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of digital transformation and climate change awareness on SME financial performance, with green technology adoption serving as a mediating variable. Drawing from stakeholder theory and the resource-based view, this research addresses a key gap in understanding how digital and environmental initiatives interact within halal-oriented small businesses. Empirical data from 192 halal food SME owners and managers in East Java were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) across 32 indicators. Findings reveal that digital transformation significantly enhances both green technology adoption and financial performance, underscoring its strategic value in expanding market access and operational efficiency. While climate change awareness strongly encourages green technology adoption, it lacks a direct financial impact. Notably, green technology adoption shows a negative effect on financial performance, likely due to high initial costs and integration challenges. The study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the complex trade-offs between environmental innovation and profitability in emerging market SMEs. It suggests that digital strategies may serve as a bridge toward sustainability without undermining financial goals. Practical implications include the need for targeted government incentives and support mechanisms to offset green transition costs and bolster competitive resilience in halal food SMEs.

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze the determinants of fintech adoption among micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia, utilizing the robust Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method. Financial Technology (fintech) represents a disruptive innovation that is transforming traditional banking and financial services by integrating digital financial products and services, including payment transactions and security systems such as e-payments, peer-to-peer lending, remittances, crowdfunding, and retail investment. The research focuses on four key variables: the Decision to Use Fintech (DUF) as the dependent variable, and three independent variables —Perceived Ease of Use of the Fintech Platform (POE), Perceived Risk (POR), and Benefits Offered/Sales Promotion (BP). Data was collected via surveys from owners and managers of MSMEs in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia. The findings reveal that the ease of use and time-saving features of fintech significantly influence adoption decisions among MSMEs, underscoring its positive impact on business operations and economic efficiency. Conversely, perceived risks and promotional benefits were found to have no significant effect on the decision to adopt fintech platforms.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of Industry 4.0 necessitates that Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) adopt digital transformation to enhance competitiveness and long-term sustainability. However, in regions where religious values significantly shape business practices, digital transformation must align with ethical considerations. This study examines the impact of digital transformation, moderated by religious ethics, on MSME performance in Pekalongan City, Central Java, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative approach with a census method, the research surveyed 180 MSMEs that have integrated digital technologies while adhering to religious ethical principles. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with WarpPLS 8.0 software. The findings indicate that digital transformation significantly enhances MSME performance, with religious ethics playing a crucial role in reinforcing ethical decision-making and ensuring business sustainability. Additionally, religious ethics moderate the relationship between digital transformation and business performance, fostering trust, accountability, and social responsibility. This study underscores the need for policy interventions, improved digital literacy, and enhanced infrastructure to facilitate MSME digitalization. By bridging the gap between digital transformation and ethical business practices, the research contributes to the disclosurse on sustainable MSME development within Islamic economic frameworks.

Abstract

This study examines the development of an effective income-maximization strategy by empowering informal sector women entrepreneurs in Jambi, Indonesia, through the Sustainable Livelihood Framework (SLF) approach. It addresses critical challenges including limited access to economic resources, socio-cultural constraints, and policy gaps that hinder women's full participation in entrepreneurship. The research explores the intersection of Jambi Malay cultural values with livelihood assets and empowerment initiatives to enhance women's income generation. Employing a qualitative methodology with a case study approach, the research utilizes in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings demonstrate that SLF serves as a valuable analytical tool for understanding the interplay of social capital, human capital, and cultural ethics in income generation. Key determinants of success include access to capital, culturally embedded business practices, product innovation, and strong social networks. However, barriers such as technological illiteracy and inadequate financial infrastructure persist. This study contributes to the discourse on women's economic empowerment by showcasing how culturally embedded frameworks can enhance resilience and optimize income generation. It offers strategic insights for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to develop inclusive and sustainable empowerment programs tailored to local contexts.

Abstract

This article aims to investigate the limited development of Syariah-certified hotels in Indonesia despite the country’s substantial potential in the global halal tourism market. Indonesia has actively promoted halal certification in the accommodation and hospitality industries, supported by central and regional governments. These initiatives align with Islamic hospitality principles, including halal-certified food, the prohibition of alcohol, modest dress codes for employees, and gender-segregated facilities. However, despite the rising discourse on halal tourism, the number of Syariah-certified hotels remains disproportionately low. This study seeks to understand why this gap exists and how the Muslim community perceives Syariah-compliant accommodations. Observations and interviews with 38 middle-class santri groups in West Java, particularly in the Jabodetabek area, reveal that their choice of accommodation is influenced more by cultural factors than religious ideology. Despite being religiously literate, many santri do not prioritize Syariah hotels when traveling. These findings highlight a disconnect between the supply of and demand for Syariah hotels, providing insights into the cultural and practical challenges facing halal tourism development in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of mudharabah and ijarah financing on the financial performance of Islamic commercial banks in Indonesia, with Non-Performing Financing (NPF) as a mediating variable. It addresses the challenge of maintaining profitability while managing financing risks in Indonesia's Islamic banking sector. Using a quantitative approach, secondary data from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed, sourced from the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and financial reports of Islamic banks. Path analysis with IBM AMOS 22 was conducted to assess the direct and indirect effects of these financing types on Return on Assets (ROA). The results show that mudharabah financing does not significantly affect NPF or ROA, while ijarah financing has a significant negative impact on both. NPF plays a key role as a mediating variable, with a total indirect effect of 47.5% on profitability. However, the size of this effect requires further validation through alternative models. These findings contribute to Islamic banking literature by identifying NPF as a crucial link between financing risks and bank profitability. The study emphasizes the importance of managing ijarah and mudharabah contracts carefully to enhance the financial resilience and sustainability of Islamic banks, especially in the post-pandemic recovery phase.
