The current application of Gojek with its GoFood feature can serve the function as promotion media to consumers at the maximum extent for the Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) in the culinary business. Nevertheless, not all have been able to experience the improvement of this business performance in terms of the new application feature. Therefore, this study aims at investigating and analyzing the role of entrepreneurial orientation, marketing capability, and brand orientation to improve the performance of GoFood partnering SMEs. There were 112 samples of business partners in Surakarta participated in this study. The data analysis technique was by SEM using the application of AMOS 2.4. The research findings provide a conclusion that there is a significant effect of entrepreneurial orientation on marketing capabilities, brand orientation, and business performance. However, marketing capability and brand orientation were not proven to improve business performance; similarly, the mediation of entrepreneurial orientation through marketing capability and brand orientation was not supportive of business performance development. This study provides an actual contribution to the performance improvement of MSEs entrepreneurs through the digital application as an innovation and creativity of business players.

The adoption of a market orientation (MO) model for effective management of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria and beyond has drawn diverse views. Extant studies conducted in Nigeria in the past decades have leveraged on the existing entrepreneurial marketing model that has not significantly contributed to the survival of SMEs in Nigeria. The objective of this quantitative study is to investigate the effects of MO on the survival of manufacturing SMEs in Nigeria. The study adopted a positivistic ontology and descriptive survey design. The study randomly selected 387 owner-managers of manufacturing SMEs in Nigeria. The results show that MO significantly contributed to the survival of SMEs in Nigeria. Based on the results, the study recommends that integrative Entrepreneurial Marketing (EM) should be adopted by both the owners and managers of SMEs as this would help reduce the rate of business failure in Nigeria.
