Abstract

Background: The Indonesian food and beverages (F&B) SME sector was a major contributor to the economy but faces challenges such as intense market competition and limited digital adoption. Despite the strong potential of the digital market, only a small proportion of SMEs were integrated into digital ecosystems. Understanding how digital platform capabilities (DPC) and strategic agility (SA) influence competitiveness was crucial in this dynamic environment.Purpose: This study examines the effect of digital platform capability on the competitiveness of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), considering the mediating role of strategic agility and the moderating role of competitive intensity within Indonesia's food and beverage (F&B) sector.Design/methodology/approach: This study was rooted in the philosophy of positivism, with a deductive design. Data were collected from 142 Indonesian F&B SMEs through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The variables included DPC (independent), SA (mediator), SMEs competitiveness (dependent), and competitive intensity (moderator).Findings/Result: SA mediates the relationship between DPC and competitiveness, which in turn increases strategic agility and the competitiveness of SMEs. The overall model explains 42% of the variance in SMEs competitiveness, which is moderately high, and competitive intensity negatively moderates the SA-competitiveness link, making agility less effective in high competition.Conclusion: Digital platform capabilities are essential for improving SME competitiveness, particularly when they are combined with strategic agility. However, the effectiveness of agility depends on market conditions; high competitive intensity may reduce its benefits. SMEs must balance agility with operational stability, and policymakers should support digital infrastructure and capability-building initiatives.Originality/value (State of the art): This study contributes to the literature by integrating resource orchestration theory with digital transformation and agility concepts in the context of emerging markets. It empirically demonstrates the mediating role of agility and the contextual influence of competitive intensity, offering nuanced insights for both theory development and SME digitalization strategies in volatile environments. Keywords: SMEs competitiveness, digital platform capability, strategic agility, competitive intensity

Abstract

Background: The hijab industry in Indonesia is rapidly growing, leading to intense online and offline competition between brands.Purpose: This study measures Repurchase Intention based on customer testimonials and brand trust in hijab products marketed through TikTok Shop, Shopee, Lazada, Bukalapak, and other marketplaces.Design/methodology/approach: This study used a quantitative method with data from 400 female hijab users aged 15–24 years in Cirebon. Owing to its strength in complex model analysis, SEM-PLS was applied to analyze the effect of customer testimonials and brand trust on repurchase intention.Findings/Results: This study indicates that customer testimonials and brand trust positively influence repurchase intention for hijab products in Cirebon. The impact of customer testimonials on repurchase intention had a coefficient of 0.400, whereas brand trust demonstrated a more substantial influence with a coefficient of 0.417. The findings suggest that brand trust has a more significant impact on encouraging repurchase behaviour than customer testimonials. These results underscore the importance of building strong brand trust through consistent product quality, excellent customer service, and positive brand reputation. For hijab business owners, effective marketing strategies should generate positive customer testimonials and ensure that the customer experience aligns with the brand’s promises. By consistently delivering quality and maintaining reliable service, businesses can foster consumer trust, enhance customer loyalty, and sustain repurchase intentions over the long term.Conclusion: These two independent variables simultaneously drive Repurchase Intention for hijab products. Brand Trust had a more substantial influence on the intention to repurchase the hijab.Originality/value (State of the art): Consumers trust brands for various reasons, including good product or service quality and brand reputation. Brand trust is a crucial factor in long-term relationships with customers. Keywords: customer testimonials, brand trust, repurchase intention, marketplace, hijab

Abstract

Background: Heightened by the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), innovation was increasingly becoming significant in entrepreneurship. Moreover, according to Schumpeterian entrepreneurship, innovation was equivalent to a profit. Thus, it was imperative to investigate the extent to which entrepreneurial ecosystems promoted innovation in youth entrepreneurship.Purpose: This study investigates the role of entrepreneurial ecosystems in promoting innovation in youth entrepreneurship in South Africa.Design/methodology/approach: A literature review study based on a collection of relevant literature from online databases was conducted. Literature from 2015 to 2025 was considered to analyze and synthesize the literature on youth entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial ecosystem.Findings/Result: Findings from the review of literature indicate that inadequate infrastructure development and funding, gaps in policy implementation and entrepreneurship education hinder innovation in youth entrepreneurship.Conclusion: This study recommends creative entrepreneurship education, a National Youth Innovation Fund, local innovation hubs, and local government intervention to enhance innovation in youth entrepreneurship in South Africa. Drawing from the Triple Helix model, the government, industry, and universities should collaborate to fund innovative business ventures, mentor creative youth entrepreneurs, and offer innovative entrepreneurship education. This study recommends empirical research on the South African entrepreneurial ecosystem, focusing on rural and township areas.Originality/value (State of the art): This article synthesizes the literature on youth entrepreneurship and innovation to inform diverse stakeholders of the current state of knowledge, key trends, research gaps, and directions for future research. Keywords: youth entrepreneurship, innovation, entrepreneurial ecosystem, innovative entrepreneurship, youth empowerment
