This study examines the impact of customer relationship management (CRM) practices and social media marketing (SMM) activities on customer retention among MSMEs in Aceh. It considers the dual role of social media in relationship management (CRM) and business engagement (SMM). Recognizing the widespread use of social media, the study explores different stages of its adoption and utilization in business. A formalized social media business profile is used as the moderating variable, defined by a firm's formal allocation of responsibility, outsourcing, funding, governance of social media, and broader changes to structure, processes, leadership, training, and culture. Data was collected from 565 MSMEs using questionnaires and analyzed with partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and multi-group analysis. The results demonstrated a high predictive power of the model on customer retention. Within CRM, the findings indicated a significant difference in the effect of key customer focus on customer retention, with higher effects observed in MSMEs that do not formalize their social media business profiles. Additionally, technology-based CRM showed significantly higher effects on customer retention for those who formalize their social media profiles. Within SMM, the study revealed significant differences in the effects of customization and trendiness on customer retention, both of which were more pronounced in MSMEs without formalized social media profiles. Furthermore, word-of-mouth had a significantly higher impact on customer retention for MSMEs with formalized social media profiles. This research contributes theoretically by developing an integrated framework that identifies how key customer focus, CRM organization, knowledge management, technology-based CRM, customization, entertainment, interaction, trendiness, and word-of-mouth influence customer retention. It also explores the moderating effects of formalized social media business profiles on CRM practices and SMM activities within MSMEs.

Business incubators contribute to the development of entrepreneurship, innovation, and regional economy. However, in developing countries, implementation faces challenges and obstacles that threaten the success and sustainability of their operations. This research examines the influence of incubator resources, service capabilities, and government support on the success of business incubators. We conducted a national survey and used structural equation modelling analysis to test hypotheses on a sample representing seventy-six percent of the business incubator population in Indonesia, one of the developing countries in Asia. Empirical evidence shows that most incubators in Indonesia are non-profit, university-based, and technology business incubators. The incubator's resources and government support impact its service capabilities. However, the incubator's resources and government support do not directly impact its success. The novelty is that service capability acts as a full mediating variable on the influence of government support and incubator resources on the success of business incubators. The final section outlines managerial implications and future research directions.

This research aims to investigate the factors that affect the performance of national resilience, which are suspected to be related to the elements of territorial entrepreneurship leadership, knowledge sharing, territorial development, and national defense intentions. The sample consisted of 278 inmates in the context of national resilience. Primary data was obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to the sampled respondents. The data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique with the help of the Analysis of Moment Structure (AMOS) software. The results of the data analysis indicate that the Territorial Entrepreneurial Leadership Strategy implemented thus far does not have a significant impact on the Territorial Development Strategy, State Defense Intentions, and National Resilience Performance. However, on the other hand, the Knowledge Sharing Strategy contributes significantly to enhancing the Territorial Development Strategy and National Resilience Performance. Similarly, it has been observed that the National Defense Intention plays a crucial role in improving National Resilience Performance. It can be concluded that the development of territorial communities needs to consider various strategies and factors, including leadership strategy, knowledge exchange, and national defense awareness, in order to achieve regional development goals and enhance national resilience comprehensively. Collaboration among local leaders, communities, and other stakeholders is key to designing and implementing effective programs in this context.
