Abstract

Purpose - This research aim is to find out and to analyze the capacity for developing Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) of batik in Central Java, Indonesia. Batik is a traditional hand-crafted dye-resist textile rich in intangible cultural values, passed down for generations. Batik is a technique of wax-resist dyeing applied to whole cloth, or cloth made using this technique originated from Indonesia. Design/Methodology/Approach - The primary data is collected by interview method with one hundred respondents who are the entrepreneurs of SMEs of batik in Central Java, Indonesia. The data collection is carried out by the method of Focus Group Discussion (FGD). The secondary data is used to enrich the analysis. The quantitative model is examined through an empirical analysis to fulfill the proposed aim of the research. Findings and implications - The result of this research shows that business scale, market access capacity, and financial capacity have influences on the competitiveness level of SMEs of batik. Furthermore, cooperatives can strengthen the influences of market capacity and financial capacity on the competitiveness of SMEs although they are not effective in strengthening the technological and innovative capacities of SMEs. This study shows that SMEs in the form of batik industries can become high liner industries with a high performance if they have the ability to compete. Limitations - This research has its limitations on the scope used only for the approach to the resources from the angle of capacity. The institutional study is only viewed from the angle of cooperatives as one of the forms of non-market management. Originality - The novelty of this research is the discovery of the role of cooperatives to support the competitiveness of SMEs.
