Abstract

This study aims to explore how Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) manage their businesses, recognize the importance of resources inside the organization, and manage changes. It examines growth factors for SMEs in Indonesia through the lens of internal and external factors by adopting the framework of the Four Dimension Conceptual Model (FDCM) by Salder et al. (2020) methodologically using a multi-case analysis. The data were gathered by in-depth interviews and then crosscase analysis was used to interpret the data. Four dimensions have emerged as critical pillars for understanding which factors influence SME performance and growth. The focus lies on an integrated framework of determinants rather than individual units by exploring both internal and external factors in the context of SME growth in Indonesia. Awareness of such factors is an opportunity to arrive at a more adequate understanding of SME growth in developing countries such as Indonesia. The study answers the question of how owners manage the visions and daily operations of their businesses, with the most critical dimensions being strategies and the environment. Finally, a few implications are drawn for policymakers and business practices.
