Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of capital, marketing, skills, and training on the development of microenterprises in Samadua Subdistrict, South Aceh Regency. Methods: The study employs a quantitative approach with 100 micro-business owners as respondents. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression. Results: The results indicate that, individually, capital, marketing, and training do not have a significant effect on the development of micro-businesses. Conversely, skills have a significant effect because they are directly related to the ability to operate and manage a business. The lack of significance of capital is attributed to the limited capital available to business owners, marketing efforts that remain rudimentary, and training programs that are primarily implemented at the regency level, thereby failing to reach microbusiness owners in the sub-district evenly. Simultaneously, all variables have a significant effect on the development of microbusinesses. Conclusions: This study concludes that skills are the most influential factor in the development of microenterprises in Samadua Subdistrict because they directly support business management and operational effectiveness. Originality/value: This study provides empirical evidence on the development of microenterprises in Samadua Subdistrict, South Aceh Regency, an area that has received limited academic attention.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the impact of capital structure and sales growth on the financial performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises in Medan City. Methods: The researchers utilized a quantitative approach with a causal-associative design. The study selected a sample of thirty business enterprises using purposive sampling criteria based on operational duration and the availability of financial records. The researchers extracted quantitative financial data from the annual reports of the selected enterprises. The data analysis involved classical assumption tests and multiple linear regression models. Results: The regression analysis revealed that capital structure negatively and significantly affected financial performance. Conversely, sales growth positively and significantly impacted financial performance. The statistical model accounted for approximately fifty percent of the variance in the financial performance of the enterprises. Conclusions: The study concluded that excessive reliance on debt diminished profitability due to high interest burdens, whereas robust sales expansion enhanced financial health through economies of scale. Originality/value: This research provided empirical value by demonstrating that enterprise owners must prioritize internal funding and sales optimization over aggressive short-term borrowing to ensure sustainable financial stability in emerging local markets.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated the influence of lifestyle and price perception on the coffee purchase decisions of Generation Z consumers in Medan City. Methods: The researchers employed a quantitative approach with a causal-associative design. The study focused on consumers who purchased coffee at thirty-five local coffee shops. Data collection involved distributing structured questionnaires to one hundred and fifty respondents selected through purposive sampling. The researchers analyzed the collected data using multiple linear regression. Results: The analysis revealed that both lifestyle and price perception positively and significantly impacted purchase decisions. Specifically, price perception demonstrated a stronger influence compared to lifestyle. The statistical results indicated that lifestyle and price perception simultaneously accounted for forty-three point five percent of the variance in purchase decisions. Conclusions: The findings concluded that while Generation Z consumers strongly pursued modern social lifestyles, their limited financial capacity made rational economic calculations a more dominant factor in choosing a coffee shop. Originality/value: Therefore, coffee shop businesses must balance aesthetic social spaces with psychological pricing strategies to remain competitive.
