Abstract

This study is a kind of field research which aims to find out how the relationship between market orientation, product creativity and innovation, competitive advantage and creative industry performance in Malang town, East Java, Indonesia. Data collection on 133 samples of creative entrepreneurs were carried out on a non-probability sampling through a questionnaire instrument. The data obtained were analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The results of the study show that market orientation has a direct, positive and significant effect on product innovation, competitive advantage, and industry performance. The findings also state that there is an intervening effect of product innovation on the effect of market orientation on competitive advantage and industry performance, there is also an intervening effect on competitive advantage over the effect of market orientation on industry performance. Product creativity has a positive and significant effect on product innovation. However, there is not enough strong evidence to support the hypothesis that product creativity directly or indirectly affects competitive advantage through product innovation, as well as industry performance through competitive advantage. The intervening effect only occurs on the relationship of product creativity with product innovation and industry performance. The managerial implication of the study is that to achieve high industry performance, creative industries need to increase competitive advantage, especially through competitive pricing strategies, improving market orientation, and product innovation.

Abstract

Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) factors are in the trend on today’s business and financial sector as it finally put sustainability context measurable. ESG has been implemented both on voluntary and mandatory approaches to help financial decision in identifying risk. However, as many countries competing toward full ESG integration, ASEAN’s financial institutions are still far from the finish line. According to Paris Agreement, countries were making deal by committing to low-carbon economy and promised Green House Gasses (GHG) emissions cut that consequently forced financial sector to contribute to the target. This paper overlooks into global and ASEAN ESG landscape that impacted ASEAN business and financial sector as whole to raise better understanding on the issue. The result concludes that the dynamics of ESG implementation is a multifaceted situation that ironically put these factors in dispute by business and financial actors. Through ESG strength and weakness, the only way for ASEAN to achieve its promise in international sustainability commitment is by completely transparent and manage their risk as oppose to identify them and report.
