Abstract

Digitalization of MSMEs is one strategy to accelerate the development of MSMEs in an inclusive and massive manner. The Financial Technology (Fintech) phenomenon in recent years has encouraged the emergence of various new services in the financial sector, including Crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is the practice of raising funds or investment by utilizing a site or website. Currently, it is indicated that there is still very little use of crowdfunding among MSMEs players. For this reason, a comprehensive study is needed regarding the importance of MSMEs utilizing Crowdfunfing as an alternative to overcome capital problems. Research design used is mix method (descriptive non experimental and judgement sampling). Sample are selecting by non-random sampling (judgment sampling). Based on the results of a survey involving 71 business doers, most of them are managers and owners, included the category of small and medium business doers with 50 to 100 employees, it was found that most of these business doers were familiar with crowdfunding as an easily accessible funding alternative. The results of the analysis using SEM-PLS, interesting findings were obtained that perceptions and aspects of technology and entrepreneurship from business actors had a positive effect on interest in using crowdfunding. Recommendations for future research are the need to research the role of capital markets and regulations, which in this research were assessed as having not been optimally socialized by MSMEs players. The point is that in the future MSMEs players must be given space to gain access to funding through crowdfunding in an inclusive manner.

Abstract

Following Indonesia's commitment to promoting the achievement sustainable consumption and production practices (RCP- SDGs Number 12), a plan must be put in place to motivate important players (SMEs) to support the green economy. The limitations of SMEs in terms of funding to be able to implement green economic practices are accommodated through access to financial technology, namely social crowdfunding. To gain insight into how SMEs implement green economic practices by utilizing social crowdfunding, a survey was conducted on 75 SMEs use descriptive research design. The results of the descriptive analysis found that some SMEs have not been able to take advantage of social crowdfunding due to several reasons: not being able to access the right website, having requirements that are difficult to fulfill and their technology skills are not yet good. An interesting insight that was extracted from the results of this survey is the high level of confidence among SMEs that implementing green economic practices using social crowdfunding can improve business performance and are confident that they can overcome all difficulties. The proposed conceptual model can apparently be supported by research results which produce the proposition namely:" willingness to participate in implementing green economic practices using social crowdfunding needs to be driven by creating strong awareness and interest by triggering 3 important determinants, namely stakeholder management, community engagement and entrepreneurship strategyā€¯. In the future, this conceptual modeling can be used to conduct quantitative research so that it can explore the facts in the field in a comprehensive manner.
