A quantitative model was examined through empirical analysis to fulfi ll the proposed aim of the research.";i:2;s:573:"Findings and implications - The result of this research shows that business scale, market access capacity, and fi nancial capacity all infl uence the competitiveness level of batik SMEs. Furthermore, cooperatives can strengthen the infl uences of market capacity and fi nancial capacity on the competitiveness of SMEs although they are not eff ective in strengthening the technological and innovative capacities of SMEs. This study shows that SMEs in the form of batik industries can become a high-earning industry with high performance if they have the ability to compete.";i:3;s:217:"Limitations - This research is limited in scope with regard to its approach to resources. The institutional study is only viewed from the angle of cooperatives, which are one of various forms of non-market management.";i:4;s:135:"Originality - The novelty of this research lies in the discovery of the role of cooperatives in supporting the competitiveness of SMEs.";}
