Impact of the Extended Digital Eco-Dynamic on Innovation Performance: An Empirical Study on Small E-Businesses in Indonesia.

This study will answer the factors that influence the innovation performance of small e-businesses in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of innovation theory by enriching knowledge in the field of management science in general, especially entrepreneurship theory, especially those related to innovation performance, IT ambidexterity, dynamic capability, environmental uncertainty, and Resource-Induced Coping Heuristic (RICH). This study proposes novelty by examining the effect of acquiring, developing, and protecting resources as dimensions of RICH on innovation performance in turbulent conditions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This theoretical aspect forms the basis for further research that will develop into a broader scope related to innovation performance in entrepreneurship in Indonesia. This fundamental research uses a questionnaire as a data collection tool tested for validity and reliability before being tested empirically using structural equation modeling partial least squares. Research shows that among the dimensions of RICH, protecting resources is the most influential on innovation performance, followed by acquiring resources and developing resources. Dynamic capability positively affects innovation performance. Environmental uncertainty positively affects dynamic capability. Environmental uncertainty positively affects innovation performance. IT capability positively affects dynamic capability. IT capability positively affects innovation performance. The development of small e-businesses needs to get significant attention. Small e-businesses need to develop mutually beneficial business partnerships and improve the quality of their human resources.

Interplay between Networking Capability and Hospital Performance in Indonesia's Medical Tourism Sector.

Medical tourism is an industry that is currently developing, but research that focuses on the analysis of supply and institutions as a unit in Indonesia is sparse. This research aims to investigate the variables of digital transformation and resource integration that influence hospital performance, considering the expansion of hospitals' capacities for networking in medical tourism. A structural equation model is used to evaluate the hypothesis. According to our findings, digital transformation and resource integration both have a beneficial effect on networking capabilities. On the other hand, the implementation of digital transformation does not improve hospital performance. Digital transformation has a good link with hospital performance but has no statistically significant effect on hospital performance. In the meantime, the capabilities of resource integration and networking have a positive effect on the overall operation of hospitals. In a similar vein, the ecosystem of medical tourism helps to improve the connection between a hospital's networking capabilities and its overall performance. It is anticipated that the findings of this study will serve as a reference for those in the policymaking and healthcare industries to develop medical tourism.

Customer review or influencer endorsement: which one influences purchase intention more?

E-commerce has grown steadily since internet access became more available in the mid-1990s. Informativeness plays a key role in online shopping decisions. Potential customers usually collect useful information and do a comparison before considering the purchase. Electronic word-of-mouth (eWOM) is considered a reliable source of information. Customer reviews and influencer reviews can be considered eWOM. They represent customers' sharing of experience and evaluation of a product or service with other potential shoppers. There is abundant evidence concerning the influence of eWOM on purchase intention. However, there are few studies on influencer reviews and purchase intention. This study aims to investigate the impact of customer review and influencer review to purchase intention and the mediating role of trust to those relationship. A quantitative experimental study (2 × 1) was conducted. Two hundred respondents from three cities in Greater Jakarta were divided into two groups to self-rate their opinion on customer review, influencer review, trust and purchase intention. Data collected was analysed PLS using SmartPLS. The study results showed that influencer review has a positive impact on purchase intention. On the other hand, customer review failed to show its influence. Trust as a moderating variable was also not validated in this study.
