Innovation is widely recognized as a critical factor in the competitiveness of businesses. This development potential is essential for the entrepreneurs who participated in the questionnaire survey. In fact, out of a total of 85.50% of them are already currently running a business, and they also consider innovation very important. A sample of 400 small business owners was analyzed using descriptive analysis to identify eight factors related to innovation development, including knowledge exploitation, interactive processes, knowledge-intensive business process improvement, new technology-based firms, go-to-market strategies, stricter regulation, and stimulation. The results revealed that three factors were particularly dominant in innovation development. Specifically, knowledge exploitation was strongly correlated with knowledge-intensive, while interactive processes were strongly correlated with knowledge exploitation. Finally, knowledge-intensive was strongly related to knowledge exploitation. These findings underscore the importance of knowledge and interaction in driving innovation among small businesses in Indonesia. By prioritizing these dominant factors, small businesses can develop strategies to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving business environment.","PeriodicalId":37422,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Eastern European and Central Asian Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135724916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study's results indicate that technological innovation services and tourist engagement influenced tourist satisfaction. In contrast, human innovation services, which have no direct impact on tourist satisfaction, must first be filtered through the variable measuring tourist engagement. The engagement of tourists is a moderating variable that influences tourist satisfaction.

It is necessary due to the limitations of brand image theory in the context of a Smart University (SU), which is considered inconsistent and insufficient semantically or functionally. The research was analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The respondents were 215 students from private universities, including in the SU category in West Java Province, one of the provinces with the highest number of private universities in Indonesia. The results showed that Technology Readiness (TR), E-Service Quality (ESQ), and E-Information Quality (EIQ) were significantly influenced by Value Co-Creation (VCC) and SUI at private universities in West Java. VCC is able to mediate the relationship between ESQ, EIQ, and SUI.
