The strategic role of digital innovation in leveraging entrepreneurial training for business performance Mediaty, Julia Safitri, Harjum Muharam, Mohamad Nur Utomo, Anis Anshari Mas’ud World Development Sustainability, 2026 This study addresses the access paradox within Indonesia's creative economy, where the availability of digital tools does not automatically correlate with superior business performance. It seeks to examine an integrated model explaining how human capital investment and technological resources relate to business performance. Adopting a dual theoretical lens of the Resource-Based View (RBV) and Dynamic Capabilities (DC) Theory, this study analyzes quantitative data from 616 creative economy actors in Indonesia using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that while entrepreneurship training and digital platforms are positively associated with business performance, their primary strategic value is observed through indirect pathways. Digital innovation is identified as a central dynamic capability, facilitating the link between investments in training, platform use, and financial outcomes. This study bridges the RBV and DC theories by empirically illustrating the associative mechanisms of resource orchestration in the creative sector. The findings suggest that success in the digital age is linked to the dynamic capability to innovate, offering implications for policymakers to shift from providing passive access to fostering active innovation environments.
Optimizing the creative economic potential of tourism villages: The impact of financial inclusion and Pentahelix partnerships Mohamad Nur Utomo, Irawati HM, Farid Helmi Setyawan Heritage and Sustainable Development, 2025 This study aims to analyze the effect of financial inclusion on the development of creative economic potential in tourist villages and evaluate the role of Pentahelix partnership as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach was used through a survey method of 193 creative economy businesses in Tana Kuning Tourism Village, North Kalimantan. Data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) technique. The results showed that financial inclusion has a positive and significant effect on creative economic potential. Meanwhile, the interaction of Pentahelix partnership and financial inclusion has a positive but limited significant effect, indicating that the partnership plays a moderating role that is not yet optimal. The limitation of the study lies in the statistically limited measurement of Pentahelix partnership as a moderating variable, which indicates the need for further exploration of non-technical factors such as social dynamics, culture, and regional regulations. The practical implications of the findings highlight the importance of cross-sector collaborative policies to encourage local wisdom-based financial inclusion. The originality of this research lies in the integration of the resource-based view and stakeholder theory in building an empirical model of financial inclusion, strengthened by Pentahelix partnership synergy in the context of the creative economy of tourist villages in border areas.

Small and medium-sized enterprises dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage: The mediating effect of digitalization Murry Harmawan Saputra, Mohamad Nur Utomo, Kasmad Ariansyah, Yanuar Farida Wismayanti, Rahmat Husein Andri Ansyah, Koeswinarno, Suradi Entrepreneurial Business and Economics Review, 2024 Objective: The aim of the article is to examine the interplay among dynamic capabilities, digitalization, and competitive advantage, with a specific focus on exploring the mediating influence of digitalization in the relationship between dynamic capabilities and competitive advantage among small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Indonesian context. Research Design & Methods: We utilized a survey method for the collection of primary data. The respondents were SME founders in the provinces of Central Java and North Kalimantan, Indonesia, with a minimum of one year of business engagement. Moreover, we utilized Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis on 230 collected responses to examine the proposed hypotheses on the relationships among dynamic capabilities, digitalization, and competitive advantage. Findings: We found that dynamic capabilities, except for coordinating capability, positively influence the implementation of digitalization. This highlights the role of these capabilities in utilizing digital technologies effectively. The study also revealed a positive relationship between digitalization and SME competitive advantage. Furthermore, the study showed the significant role of digitalization in mediating the associations between sensing capability, learning capability, integrating capability, and competitive advantage. These findings underscore the importance of developing dynamic capabilities to facilitate digitalization for enhancing competitive advantage in the digital era. Implications & Recommendations: The study’s implications for SMEs seeking to enhance competitive advantage through digitalization include the importance of improving sensing capability for market understanding, cultivating a learning culture for employee tech updates, and strengthening integrating capability by seamlessly incorporating digital technology into existing processes and functions. Contribution & Value Added: While many studies have concentrated on evaluating the direct impact of dynamic capabilities on firm competitive advantage or exploring different mediating factors, this research explored the indirect effects of SME’s dynamic capabilities on competitive advantage, delving into digitalization’s mediating role.

IMPROVING COMPETITIVENESS OF SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES BASED ON LOCAL LEADING PRODUCTS IN TARAKAN CITY, INDONESIA Mohamad Nur Utomo, Kaujan Kaujan, Widyastuti Cahyaningrum Acta Logistica, 2022 The competitiveness of SMEs is enhanced by compiling a map consisting of local superior employment sectors and local superior products. This study aims to identify and map the work sector and products of Small and Medium Enterprises that need to be developed to become the local carrying capacity of Tarakan City. Sources of data include primary data (questionnaires from respondents) and secondary data (GRDP data for the city of Tarakan). Data analysis methods include Location Quotient (LQ), Klassen Typology, and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The results showed that the fishery-based processing industry is an employment sector that has great potential to become a local leading sector in Tarakan City. The results also reveal that the competitiveness of SMEs can be increased by developing local superior products. This development must meet three criteria, respectively: development must be oriented towards the conservation of resources and the environment; its development must only involve products with local raw materials and local uniqueness, and its development is supported by local communities. Another finding is about three priority local superior products, namely Dried Fish/Peyek Pepija, Shredded Milkfish, and Amplang Milkfish Crackers. These results can be used as a basis for making policies regarding the development of a country's local superior products.

Environmental performance, environmental disclosure, and firm value: empirical study of non-financial companies at Indonesia Stock Exchange Mohamad Nur Utomo, , Sri Rahayu, Kaujan Kaujan, Soni Agus Irwandi, , and Green Finance, 2020 This research is aimed to examine the effect of environmental performance on firm value with environmental disclosure as a mediation variable. Sample of research is non-financial companies at the Indonesia Stock Exchange that have followed the Environmental Performance Assessment Program (PROPER) held by the Ministry of Life Environment and Forestry. The data analysis method is Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS), and the analysis operation is facilitated by the software of WarpPLS 6.0. The result of analysis has given a few findings. One is that environmental performance has a positive effect on firm value and environmental disclosure. Other result shows that environmental disclosure does not affect firm value and does not mediate the effect of environmental performance on firm value. In general, all the results support the stakeholder theory and the resource-based view theory. Companies with environmentally friendly commitments can be a strategy in creating higher firm value.
