Selecting Priority Policy Strategies for Sustainability of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises in Takalar Regency

The current study aims to develop a strategic policy for the micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) resilience system to deal with disruption during uncertainty and maintain sustainability. Previous studies stated that the MSMEs mortality rate was high, specifically in the first five years. This was caused by various internal weaknesses and the inability to deal with disruption amid uncertainty. The enterprises need government intervention to strengthen their resilience. Therefore, this study aimed to design a government policy model for a resilience system that connects actors, factors, goals, and alternative strategies during uncertainty. Since disruptions are complex, a holistic approach comprising resource theory, entrepreneurial orientation, corporate entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurship ecosystem was used. The method used is the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process, involving 20 experts as respondents. The results showed that certain factors, actors, goals, and strategies must be prioritized in formulating a policy strategy for the sustainability system in Takalar Regency, Indonesia. The main factor is entrepreneurial orientation, while the actor is highly resilient MSMEs. Additionally, the goal is for the market to accept products, while innovative transformation is the alternative priority strategy to be implemented.
