Listen and Design

More about the book

Focusing on policy design for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Indonesia, this book emphasizes the need to align policies with the existing social capital of these businesses. It advocates for a systematic approach involving active listening and understanding of MSMEs' diverse perspectives before creating tailored interventions. The study highlights the significance of networks over traditional factors like size and technology in enhancing MSME performance, while also addressing challenges such as financing gaps and digitalization. Methodologies like the Analytic Hierarchy Process are rigorously analyzed for effectiveness.
