Abstract :
In an increasingly dynamic and competitive business environment,
understanding the factors that drive innovation performance is crucial for
small businesses to sustain growth and maintain a competitive edge. The role
of leadership agility and entrepreneurial orientation in fostering innovation
and achieving competitive advantage remains underexplored, particularly in
the context of small culinary businesses. This research aims to deepen the
understanding of the factors that drive innovation performance by examining
the roles of leadership agility and entrepreneurial orientation as antecedent
factors and innovation ambidexterity as a mediator in achieving competitive
advantage. This explanatory research employs a quantitative approach. The
population comprises all small culinary businesses in Madiun City, totaling
90 businesses. Using a census sampling technique, the entire population was
surveyed. Data were collected through a closed questionnaire and analyzed
using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with
SmartPLS 3.0 software. The study reveals that leadership agility and
entrepreneurial orientation significantly and positively impact innovation
ambidexterity and competitive advantage among small culinary businesses in
Madiun. All proposed hypotheses are supported, indicating that increased
leadership agility and entrepreneurial orientation enhance innovation
capabilities and competitive advantage. The findings suggest that small
culinary businesses in Madiun should focus on cultivating agile leadership
and an entrepreneurial mindset among employees to swiftly adapt to market
changes and foster continuous innovation. These insights are valuable for
business owners, policymakers, and stakeholders in designing strategies and
policies to support the development and competitiveness of small businesses.
