Entrepreneurial Mindset, Digital Pivots, And Model Innovation: Catalysts For MSME Expansion In Sumbawa
Abstract
This study examines the influence of entrepreneurial characteristics, digital marketing strategy, and business model innovation on the development of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Sumbawa Regency, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. A quantitative research design was adopted, applying Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS 4.0 software. Using purposive sampling, 100 active MSME operators were recruited as respondents. Data collection relied on a structured, five-point Likert-scale questionnaire. The measurement model demonstrated satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity, with all Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values exceeding 0.50 and all Composite Reliability (CR) coefficients above 0.70. Hypothesis testing via bootstrapping (5,000 re-samples) revealed that entrepreneurial characteristics exert a positive and significant effect on MSME development (beta = 0.312; t = 3.814; p < 0.01), digital marketing strategy positively and significantly influences MSME development (beta = 0.278; t = 2.963; p < 0.05), and business model innovation is the strongest predictor of MSME development (beta = 0.341; t = 4.127; p < 0.01). Business model innovation also partially mediates the relationship between digital marketing strategy and MSME development (indirect effect beta = 0.229; p < 0.001). The combined model explains 58.7% of variance in MSME development (R2 = 0.587). These findings advance the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities Theory in the MSME context, suggesting that policymakers in peripheral Indonesian regions should simultaneously strengthen entrepreneurial competencies, accelerate digital marketing adoption, and nurture business model renewal to sustain MSME growth.
