“…Even though access to financial institutions is vital for craft SMEs to improve their innovation and competitiveness [26]. Funds can also be critical for craft SMEs to obtain access to the required resources [27].

Indonesian batik small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are rapidly growing, but they face many challenges in developing their business. For this reason, we propose a combination of open innovation and engagement theory to overcome these challenges. We conducted interviews with 27 local government officers (external stakeholder) and 57 managers of batik SMEs (internal stakeholder). We confirmed the interview results with 20 batik experts and representatives from the Indonesian Ministry of Industry in the Focus Group Discussion. We have divided the findings of this study into two categories: Java and outside of Java, since the two areas have different characteristics. According to our findings, the biggest challenge of batik SMEs in Java is the emergence of the batik printing business. Meanwhile, batik SMEs outside of Java are having difficulty obtaining raw materials. Open innovation has been implemented by some batik SMEs in Indonesia and can improve their business performance. However, more batik SMEs do not implement open innovation due to the lack of their skills and involvement of other stakeholders. As a result, we suggest that open innovation in the Indonesian batik industry needs to be supported by the participation of various parties or that open innovation is combined with engagement theory.

“…However, one of the weaknesses of SMEs is the courage to innovate and take risks. In addition to the importance of innovation to the competitive advantage and performance of SMEs, the essential role of SMEs in economic growth in Indonesia is a factor in choosing SMEs as research objects (Koentjoro & Gunawan, 2020;Kurniati et al, 2019;Lestari et al, 2020;Styaningrum et al, 2020).…”

The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between innovation and performance in culinary sector MSME in Indonesia. This research also examines the mediating role of competitive strategies on the correlation of innovation in SME performance. This study proceeds using a quantitative approach and Partial Least Square (PLS) through SmartPLS software. The sample of this study consisted of 201 SMEs in Indonesia (specially in Surabaya) that engage in the food and beverage (culinary) sector, and the researcher used an accidental sampling technique to collect data. The result revealed that process innovation was directly, positively, and significantly related to the performance of SMEs. Furthermore, the analysis found that competitive strategies, including cost leadership, differentiation, and focus, mediated a partial relationship between innovation and SME performance and had a full mediation of innovation in SME performance. This study shows that SMEs with process innovation can more easily achieve superior performance than SMEs which implement product-oriented innovation. This research focused on SMEs in Surabaya, so it is necessary to be careful in generalizing the results to other locations or business sectors.

“…In addition, the company's competitive advantage is not only limited to activities but also related to all company-owned resources (Makhloufi et al, 2021). Khan et al, (2019); Kurniati & Susilowati, (2019); Yang et al, (2018), in their research, explain that the creation and maintenance of competitive advantage in today's business environment are very important to be able to generate revenue in the short-term and provide superior value to customers, and maintaining a competitive advantage over competitors has also become more important than anything else. Banmairuroy et al, (2022); Gupta et al, (2022); Hossain et al, (2022) explain that Sustainable competitive advantage (SCA) is a concept related to the resources-based view (RBV).…”
