By examining these three critical capabilities, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how SMEs can leverage their internal resources and competencies to achieve superior market outcomes as a market performance in today's dynamic and competitive business environment. \u0000Study Design: This study employs a quantitative research approach using a cross-sectional survey design to gather data on SMEs' sensing, learning, and coordinating capabilities, as well as their market performance. \u0000Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected from 97 SME owners or managers who were selected based on the criteria of having been established for at least 3 years. \u0000Methodology: Data collection was done using a structured questionnaire administered through an online survey platform. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. The analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 4.0 software and involved two stages: (1) measurement model assessment and (2) structural model assessment. \u0000Results: The analysis results confirm the convergent validity, internal consistency, composite reliability, and discriminant validity of the constructs: Sensing Capability (SC), Learning Capability (LC), Coordinating Capability (CC), and Market Performance (MP). Using SEM with SmartPLS V.4, the study found that sensing capability (β = 0.383, p < 0.05) and learning capability (β = 0.430, p < 0.05) significantly impact market performance, supporting hypotheses H1 and H2. However, H3 was not supported, as coordinating capability (β = 0.088, p > 0.05) did not show a significant relationship with market performance. \u0000Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of sensing and learning capabilities for SMEs in Pontianak to enhance market performance. Coordinating capability may have an indirect effect. SME owners and managers should invest in these capabilities to adapt to market changes and maintain a competitive advantage. The findings contribute to the understanding of dynamic capabilities and provide practical insights for SMEs in West Kalimantan, Indonesia.","PeriodicalId":486390,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of economics, business and accounting","volume":"14 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141267499","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 research instrument has gone through the validity and reliability testing stages, classical assumption testing and multiple regression testing. This instrument was used as a data collection tool from respondents aged at least 17-40 years who had purchased Casio watches, which were the objects assessed in this research, but only those purchased online. The number of respondents in this study was 120 people. The analytical tool used to test the data instrument is SPSS version 29 software. The novelty in this research is the object and its locus. The limitation of this research is that only 3 of the 8 dimensions of product quality are taken, namely performance, durability, perceived quality and the locus is only in the city of Cimahi, perhaps in other cities the results will be different. The findings of this research explain that performance, durability, perceived quality do not have a positive effect on customer loyalty. However, price and perceived quality have a positive effect on customer loyalty. Meanwhile, the number of samples, sampling techniques and data analysis techniques can be adjusted to the objects assessed by previous researchers. It is also hoped that the results of this research will be useful for managers of objects being assessed regarding the design of relevant strategies or programs. Of the six hypotheses, only two are accepted: price and product innovation have a positive influence on customer loyalty.","PeriodicalId":486390,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of economics, business and accounting","volume":"46 40","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141269612","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}

A quantitative approach is used by analyzing panel data through panel data regression to test the effect of independent variables (GDP Growth, Tangibility, and Profitability) on the dependent variable (Firm Value) and the mediating variable (Capital Structure), as well as path analysis with the Sobel test to test the mediating role of Capital Structure in the relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable.\u0000Results: The regression analysis showed that GDP had no significant impact on either capital structure or firm value. However, company-specific factors like tangibility and profitability were the main determinants. Tangibility positively influenced capital structure, while profitability had a negative effect. Tangibility negatively affected firm value, and capital structure itself correlated negatively with firm value. Capital structure was only significant as a mediating variable in the relationship between profitability and firm value.\u0000Conclusion: Macroeconomic indicators such as GDP have limited explanatory power on capital structure and firm value, whereas firm-specific factors like asset tangibility and profitability are crucial determinants of optimal capital structure and value maximization. Further studies should utilize alternative macroeconomic proxies with higher sensitivity, like interest rates and inflation, broaden the sample scope to incorporate SMEs alongside large corporations, control for relevant firm-level characteristics, extend the time horizon, and leverage sophisticated analytical techniques such as structural equation modeling.","PeriodicalId":486390,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of economics, business and accounting","volume":"17 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141273133","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}

Operating between Padang City and Mentawai Island, this passenger ship plays a crucial role in connecting these destinations. However, despite its importance, complaints regarding the quality of sea transportation services, particularly on the KMP Sabuk Nusantara 68 route between Padang and Mentawai, have been voiced by passengers.In response to these concerns, this research was conducted to assess the levels of service quality and passenger satisfaction. The study aimed to identify priority factors for enhancing service performance and passenger satisfaction. Employing a quantitative method, researchers utilized questionnaires as research instruments, with data analyzed using the Likert scale and the Important and Performance Analysis (IPA) methodology.The findings revealed that overall service quality was satisfactory, with passenger satisfaction levels reaching 89.12%. However, further improvements are still needed, particularly in areas such as ship cleanliness, which emerged as a critical aspect requiring immediate enhancement. Therefore, while passengers are generally content with the services provided, there is still room for improvement to ensure a consistently high level of service performance and passenger satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":486390,"journal":{"name":"Asian journal of economics, business and accounting","volume":"3 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141099212","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 findings revealed that organizational justice in terms of distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice is always manifested in banana companies. On the other hand, employee retention in terms of a positive work environment, employee freedom and flexibility, employee involvement and growth, employee communication and assistance, and compensation and benefits are always manifested, too. The result indicated that there was a significant relationship between organizational justice and employee retention in banana companies. The findings suggested that banana companies may prioritize a fair distribution of workloads based on employees' skills and experience to ensure fairness. Management may have regular team outings or social events for building relationships and conducting frequent trainings, which shows the organization's commitment to employee growth.
