Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore how value co-creation in the Indonesian Organic Community overcomes the resource limitations of small enterprises through the integration of collective resources to drive innovation. A framework is derived and developed from service-dominant logic (SDL) and supported by consumer culture theory (CCT). It also offers a specific strategy that is required for the growth and sustainability of the organic-products entrepreneurship.
Design/methodology/approach
Applied thematic analysis was performed by combining observation and in-depth interviews to multi-actors in the community.
Findings
The result shows that a collaboration network with external actors and the dynamic interaction within the community drive resource integration forming value co-creation platform and lead to innovation in product, process, marketing and organization.
Originality/value
A combination of SDL and CCT provides a new marketing perspective of value co-creation concept. SDL offers an understanding of multi-actor value co-creation that is built from the knowledge and skills-based resources. CCT unveils the roles of the community in developing the positive perception of organic products in the market ecosystem.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to shed some light on an important phenomenon – how and why intra-family succession may change if millennial cohorts are considered as successors. Specifically, it aims to explore the superordinate themes that support the success of intra-family succession from perspective of two different cohort successors (X and millennial).
Design/methodology/approach
An interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) was adopted for detailed structural analysis of in-depth interview as it aims to explore meaning of participants' experiences. A total of ten individuals participated in the study.
Findings
Seventeen superordinate themes emerged from participants' personal statements and experiences. The themes are grouped into four aspects: namely, characteristics of predecessor and successor, succession process, firm and family and succession output. These aspects were found to be different between X and millennial cohort successors. They then form an empirical model of intra-family succession from both perspectives.
Research limitations/implications
This study enriches the theory of family firm by considering generational effect of successors on intra-family succession.
Practical implications
As millennial cohort successors prefer to go directly into business (experiential learning) and are driven by non-material motives (passion-driven), predecessors are expected to utilize them in the process of nurturing and development.
Originality/value
This study considers the role of generation cohort in supporting the success of intra-family succession especially in relation to the characteristics of millennial cohort successors that have been shown to differ from that of X cohort.

Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to examine and identify how the resource-based view and dynamic capability theory contribute to information and communication technology (ICT) adoption to improve micro, small and medium enterprise (MSME) performance, mediated by distinctive competencies. This research provides insight into how MSMEs can improve performance by strategically adopting ICT tools and developing distinctive competencies.
Design/methodology/approach
Data were collected through online questionnaires from creative industry MSMEs (fashion, culinary and crafts) in Indonesia. The results were analyzed using the partial least squares-structural equation method technique (Fornell and Cha, 1994) with Smart PLS 3.0 (Ringle et al., 2015).
Findings
The results show that ICT adoption significantly impacts the MSMEs marketing performance in the creative industry sector. In addition, adopting ICT tools influences the development of distinctive competencies among MSMEs, improving MSMEs marketing performance. Distinctive competencies were found to mediate the relationship between ICT adoption and MSMEs marketing performance, which underscores the importance of technology skills, organizational skills, environmental skills and entrepreneurial mindset in driving business success. These findings highlight the critical role of distinctive competencies as a key factor in leveraging ICT adoption to improve MSMEs marketing performance.
Research limitations/implications
The main limitation is that this research coverage area is less extensive due to the time constraints of this study. Future work could cover different regions and explore other mediators in the ICT–performance relationship.
Practical implications
This research assists MSMEs in improving performance by adopting ICT and developing distinctive competencies with targeted training in relevant skills.
Social implications
This research highlights the potential to improve MSMEs marketing performance and drive economic growth and resilience through ICT adoption.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence of the relationship between ICT adoption, distinctive competencies and MSME marketing performance in the context of the creative industries sector. This study offers a new perspective on how MSMEs can use ICT tools and develop distinctive competencies to enhance their marketing performance competitive advantage and achieve sustainable growth. By emphasizing the mediating role of distinctive competencies, this study highlights how ICT adoption impacts positively MSME marketing performance, providing valuable insights for practitioners, policymakers and researchers in entrepreneurship and technology adoption.
