This study investigates whether the Indonesian regulators control Indonesian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with matching or mismatching empowerment strategies, in light of their strengths and current standing. Indonesian SMEs contributed approximately 60.34% to Indonesia’s gross domestic product (GDP) in 2018. In addition, Indonesian regulators have focused on financial support through credit policies and tax incentives. Indonesian SMEs have been standing on organizational readiness and readiness for change, based on their social networks and social cognition. It collected thirteen informants with different expertise and experiences. This study’s results suggest Indonesia’s regulatory body and financial institutions should consider the SMEs’ social cognition and organizational readiness for change. According to the current situation, to empower Indonesian SMEs, we recommend strategies such as achieving knowledge supremacy, creating an economic development board, as in Singapore, formulating comprehensive industry-wide policies, adopting omnibus laws, and implementing a shifting balance strategy. In other words, the Indonesian regulators should implement major reforms, which are similar to glasnost and perestroika in the former Soviet Union. This is to enhance Indonesian SMEs and achieve the goal of the Government of Indonesia (GoI) with respect to the optimal distinctiveness of Indonesia’s future economy. This optimal distinctiveness refers to the GoI’s policies, which focused on knowledge supremacy, an industry-wide regime, and research for empowerment.

The relationship between product development process and product success remains to confound many. Although most researchers agree that product development is one of the main factors affecting product success, many case studies performed since 1980s have shown different results. Some studies find a strong relationship between a product development activity and the product success, while some others discover the opposite. There is no generic result to be referred to further study or used for practices. Therefore, this study explores further the effect of product development activities on product success by conducting a multiple triangulation approach. This approach cross-examines three methods with three different data: meta-analyses that use data from a number of case studies previously published; analytic hierarchy process that takes data from product development experts' judgment; and resource allocation analysis that utilizes companies' operational data. The results show that the relationship between product development process and product success is unique for every case or group of cases. The relationship can be determined by utilizing resource allocation data and experts' judgment, as shown by a general procedure proposed.
