“…The external factors consist of market competition, legal and political conditions, and social and cultural environment including the language used to communicate with consumers. The internal factors are including brand management, marketing strategies, top management support, the effectiveness of deployment of human resources, and innovation are key factors, especially in the high-growth South-East Asia region (Anton et al, 2015). However, SMEs have a unique characteristic such as limited financial and human resources (Abdullah et al, 2010;Tambunan, 2009).…”

The aim of this paper is to examine relationships among organizational learning, imitating capability, innovation and competitiveness advantage in the small and medium enterprise (SME). Furthermore, the paper also examines the mediation effect of innovation in the relationship between organizational learning and imitating capability to competitiveness advantage. Using empirical data drawn from 200 SMEs managers in Indonesia, the data were analyzed using partial least squares variance-based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that that organizational learning and imitating capability were an important determinant of organizational innovation and competitive advantage. Innovation had a positive relationship with competitiveness and has a mediating role in the relationship between organizational learning and imitating capability to competitiveness advantage. The implication of this study is that SMEs can increase their competitiveness through learning and imitating strategies that are applied simultaneously. This research is original in that it deliberately focuses on learning and imitating capability in low-technology SMEs, especially in the Indonesian context.

“…Analysis of 76 developed and developing countries by Ayyagari et al (2007) showed that SMEs are solely responsible for the creation of about 60 percent of employment in manufacturing sector. Moreover, SMEs also help improve socioeconomic conditions of a country by reducing import and producing products locally by fulfilling the needs of local community (Straka et al, 2015;Setyawan et al, 2015). Regardless of their significant contribution to the economy, the survival rate of SMEs is significantly lower than of large corporate firms due to various reasons, including restricted access to bank finance, high interest rates, lack of skilled labour forces, existence of technological and financial risks, severe competition from large firms etc.…”

Abstract. In this paper we aim to explore how the type of bank ownership -local private banks, government-owned banks (public banks) and foreign banks -can affect relationship lending to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) by using a unique data set from Bangladeshi banking sector. We found that private banks differ from government-owned and foreign banks in terms of relationship lending and credit facilities to SMEs. More specifically, our results suggest that unlike government and foreign banks, private banks do consider soft information from relationship lending while setting up the loan spread to SMEs. We can also confirm that exclusive banking relationship or repeated banking with private banks can soften credit conditions (loan maturity and covenants). Moreover, we found empirical evidence that banking relationship is important for private banks in terms of SME credit risk evaluation. Finally, as according to our expectation, the results confirm that regardless of prior relationship, private banks are more Vol.10, No.1, 2017 278 depended on collateral-based lending to SMEs than government-owned or foreign banks.

“…Companies that are able to produce good quality products or services are effective companies in the sense that they will be able to compete. Several studies have measured the competitiveness of SMEs by using indicators containing factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries and business strategies (Anton, Muzakan, & Muhammad, 2015). The measure of competitiveness in SMEs in this study uses organizational capability, competency of the owners and the performance of SMEs (Hudson, Smart, & Bourne, 2001), (Darsono, Yahya, & Amalia, 2016), (Ramadhilla Maghfira Utami and Donald Crestofel Lantu, 2013) and (Nota & Santander, 2012).…”
