“…Furthermore, based on the outlined characteristics of the observed respondents, it was evident that the majority (63.5%) of the participants were graduates of junior and senior high schools. Following this observation, it is expedient to acknowledge that different results may occur if they were graduates of higher institutions since education is considered one of the dimensions of human capital (Asif & Lahiri, 2021). In this regard, women entrepreneurs with higher levels of education were anticipated to exhibit superior performance (Queiro, 2022).…”

“…This form of capital comprises individuals' skills, knowledge, and abilities (Departement for International Development, 1999), which affects their capacity for creative thinking and action (Hendratmi et al, 2022). According to Asif and Lahiri (2021), education, as one dimension of human capital, is measured through cognitive skills. Indisputably, human capital is a core factor in the entrepreneurship process.…”

Pentagon capital is a term used to describe the five essential forms of capital: human, social, financial, physical, and intellectual. These five forms of capital play a crucial role in improving the performance of women entrepreneurs. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of these five forms of capital on the performance of women entrepreneurs, both directly and indirectly, through the adoption of digital technology. The analysis was conducted in 38 regencies/cities located in East Java Province, Indonesia, and comprised 268 women entrepreneurs from various business sectors. Following this, the primary data source was collected through the distribution of questionnaires, and the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was utilized to assess both the direct and indirect effects of the observed capitals using SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results showed that only social capital had a direct and significant effect on the performance of women entrepreneurs. However, human, financial, physical, and intellectual capital were found to significantly affect the performance of entrepreneurs indirectly through the mediation of the adoption of digital technology. It is also expedient to acknowledge that among the observed variables, financial capital was found to be the most important (19%). These results offered practical understanding for women entrepreneurs on strategies to increase their business income and access loans from financial institutions and government assistance. AcknowledgmentThe authors are grateful to the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology of Indonesia for funding this research.

“…The innovator may evaluate whether the patent application revealed is unique and, if not, whether there is potential for learning-by-doing to improve the shortcomings of previous innovations. The creation of new products and the expansion of the internet ultimately improve economic well-being which is reflected in the increase in consumer surplus (Reed & Watts, 2018;Asongu & Le Roux, 2017;Asif & Lahiri, 2021).…”

Separate studies on the impact of internet penetration on growth and per capita income levels, inequality, and poverty levels are still being discussed. Using data from 33 Indonesian provinces between 2008 and 2020, this paper investigates whether internet penetration modulates economic growth by reducing inequality and poverty. The Two-Way Fixed Effect (TWFE) econometric model was used. Two findings can be concluded from this paper. First, Indonesia's economic growth remains less inclusive, as evidenced by rising per capita income, which tends to reduce poverty but not income inequality. Second, Indonesia's economic growth tends to be less inclusive as an unintended consequence of internet penetration. Although it strengthens the effect on poverty reduction, on the other hand, the interaction of economic growth with internet penetration tends to exacerbate income inequality. Based on these findings, the study suggests that the government should improve advanced ICT skills and lower barriers to internet adoption, particularly for the less fortunate. The internet is expected to become a tool to achieve inclusive growth through expanding a newly established middle class instead of simply the economic transformation of the poor into non-poor households under this policy.
