Based on case studies and interviews with industry players, we identify several key challenges, including resource constraints, lack of digital skills, and infrastructure barriers. On the other hand, emerging opportunities include access to wider markets, increased operational efficiency, and the ability to innovate. These findings suggest that while digital transformation offers significant benefits, SMEs must face various obstacles that require strategic solutions and support from various parties, including the government and financial institutions. This article offers practical recommendations to facilitate the adoption of digital technologies among SMEs and contribute to the development of more effective strategies to capitalize on existing opportunities.

Abstract

This study explores the role of digital transformation in enhancing operational efficiency across e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia. Through a systematic literature review of 50 academic and industry sources, the research examines the adoption of digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, and big data and their impact on logistics, customer experience, and performance outcomes. Using the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework as a conceptual lens, the study thematically analyzes key digital capabilities and their strategic implications, particularly for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). Findings suggest that digital transformation contributes to cost efficiency, service responsiveness, and process integration, with AI alone estimated to reduce operational costs by 15%-20% in leading platforms. While prior studies often focus on isolated technologies or single-country contexts, this research provides a cross-country synthesis that highlights common trends, challenges, and enabling factors. This study fills a critical gap in the literature by offering an integrated regional perspective on how bundled digital technologies shape operational strategies across diverse e-commerce ecosystems. The insights generated serve as a strategic reference for digital policy development, infrastructure investment, and organizational transformation in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

This study explores the mediating role of organizational learning in the relationship between innovation culture and business performance among technology startups in Indonesia. The research is driven by the high failure rate of startups in developing countries, often caused by inadequate adaptability and weak internal knowledge systems. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 125 respondents consisting of founders and functional managers of digital startups located in the Greater Jakarta area. Respondents completed structured online questionnaires, and the data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and the Sobel test to assess the mediation effect. The findings indicate that innovation culture significantly influences organizational learning (β = 0.62, p < 0.001) and business performance (β = 0.58, p < 0.001). Organizational learning also has a significant impact on business performance (β = 0.53, p < 0.001). The Sobel test reveals a significant partial mediation effect (Z = 3.97, p < 0.001), suggesting that organizational learning acts as a crucial mechanism in translating innovation culture into improved performance outcomes. These results highlight the need for startups to not only foster innovation but also invest in structured internal learning systems as a strategic driver for sustainable competitive advantage.

Abstract

In the context of emerging markets marked by volatility, uncertainty, and technological disruption, digital transformation has become a crucial enabler of strategic agility for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). This study explores how digital capabilities contribute to strategic agility and, subsequently, to the competitive advantage of SMEs. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from 300 SMEs across Indonesia, Vietnam, and Ghana with qualitative case studies from five selected firms. Quantitative analysis using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) confirmed that digital capabilities significantly enhance both strategic agility and competitive advantage. Moreover, innovation culture and external collaboration were found to be significant moderating variables in these relationships. Qualitative findings support these results, revealing that digital maturity reflected in process reorientation, platform integration, and data-driven responsiveness enables SMEs to adapt and innovate under uncertainty. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to enhance SME resilience through inclusive digital strategies. This study contributes to the extension of dynamic capabilities theory by integrating cross market agility responses into the framework of digital transformation in emerging economies.

Abstract

Digital business model innovation (DBMI) has emerged as a critical determinant of competitive advantage for Indonesian technology startups in an increasingly competitive market landscape. This study examines the mechanisms through which DBMI influences competitive advantage among Indonesian tech startups, analyzing both internal and external factors that contribute to their success. Using a systematic literature review approach, we synthesized findings from 25 studies focusing on Indonesian digital startups across various sectors including fintech, edutech, e-commerce, and healthtech. Our analysis reveals that DBMI significantly enhances competitive advantage through four key mechanisms: capability reconfiguration, digital technology adoption, platform ecosystem dynamics, and dynamic capabilities development. The findings indicate that startups implementing disruptive business models demonstrate superior scalability and market survival rates. Technology adoption, particularly AI and data analytics, substantially improves operational efficiency and market expansion, leading to increased user growth and revenue generation. However, challenges such as cybersecurity threats, digital gaps, and intense marketing competition remain significant barriers. Government policy support and conducive digital ecosystems are crucial for enabling continuous innovation and global competitiveness. This study contributes to theoretical development by extending the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities Theory within the digital context, specifically demonstrating how DBMI mechanisms create sustainable competitive advantages through capability reconfiguration and ecosystem orchestration. The findings provide strategic insights into capability development pathways, policy intervention points, and ecosystem design principles for entrepreneurs, policymakers, and investors in Indonesia's digital economy.
