ABSTRACT MSMEs have contributed to employment and economic growth. There are many challenges faced by MSMEs in the era of Industrial Revolution 4.0, including the use of digital marketing innovation and strategic orientation to achieve firm performance. In this research, the aim is to analyze the influence of digital marketing innovation and strategic orientation on firm performance with marketing capability as mediation and the influence of marketing capability on firm performance moderated by risk management. This research is a descriptive quantitative study with a survey approach of 279 respondents from MSMEs in the food and beverage sector. The collected data was processed using SmartPLS, the results showed that digital marketing innovation and strategic orientation have a significant effect on marketing capability, and on firm performance. Marketing capability is having no significant impact on firm performance. Digital marketing innovation and strategic orientation with marketing capability as mediating variable has no significant effect on firm performance. Marketing capability and strategic orientation with risk management as a moderating variable have no significant effect on firm performance. The results of this study are input for MSMEs in increasing the role of digital marketing innovation, orientation strategy and marketing capability towards company performance. Risk management needs to be built by implementing the right risk treatment in order to be able to drive firm performance.

INTRODUCTION Businesses of varying sizes, including Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Entreprises (MSMEs), significantly play an important role to a country’s economic development and growth (Farida & Setiawan, 2022) just as they are essential for initiating employment in other developing countries (Afriyie et al., 2019). At the same time, digitalization era as a result of the effects of globalization, is altering economies and transforming the way businesses develop across the world (Gaglio et al., 2022). Businesses must adapt their models in order to be innovative and creative to gain growth (Rekarti et al., 2018) and the level of technological innovation will determine competitiveness (Benites Gutierrez et al., 2020) or to compete in competitive business world (Rafid et al., 2023). Since the start of the globalization era, most businesses are struggling to be more inno- ARTÍCULOS 3 Wisnu Yuwono; Selviana Dwi Fitriyanti; Ferdinand Nainggolan El impacto de la innovación en marketing digital y la orientación estratégica en el rendimiento de las empresas: Mediación por la capacidad de marketing y moderación por la gestión del riesgo N. 39, 2025 – ISSN: 1886-516X – DOI: 10.46661/rev.metodoscuant.econ.empresa.10841 – [Págs. 1-19] Revista de Métodos Cuantitativos para la Economía y la Empresa vative and creative (Valdez-Juárez & Castillo-Vergara, 2021). Innovation is crucial since it drives businesses to create new capability to compete (Jung & Shegai, 2023). Competitiveness is also required so that the business can survive and develop (Hatammimi & Thahara, 2022). MSMEs will face several challenges while transforming to digitalization. Research related to this has mostly been conducted in European countries and several Asian countries, and research in developing countries still needs to be published to fill the gap and provide practical recommendations for implementation for MSMEs whose areas have not been previously researched (Sagala & Őri, 2024). Generally, in this transformation, 70,2 % of MSMEs have problems in marketing their products. The fact that the digital transformation of Indonesian MSMEs only reached 13 percent in 2020 and is expected to reach 47 percent in 2024, the country is still trailing behind other Asian nations in this regard (MSME Empowerment Report 2022). In addition, 50 percent of the products sold in e-commerce are still imported products (Masduki, 2022). Pic 1. Obstacles in Business Activities (n=1500) Source: (MSME Empowerment Report 2022, 2023) Link: https://dailysocial.id/research/msme-report-2022 Despite having a population of over 273.8 million and a sizable, diverse economy, Indonesia has long lagged behind other nations in terms of the adoption of digital technology, especially among MSMEs. Digitalization creates opportunity to access new markets and gain value with customers and other partnerships (Joensuu-Salo et al., 2018). MSMEs can market their goods or services to customers by having an online presence and reaching a larger audience and may be able to compete better with larger businesses (Burhanudin et al., 2022). Finally, digitalization can assist MSMEs in strengthening their sustainability and financial stability (Supari & Anton, 2022). This study uses endogenous growth theory (Sagala & Őri, 2024). In endogenous growth theory, the context of digital marketing innovation and strategic orientation of MSMEs is unique research. The object of research is carried out in an area in a developing country, which has never been revealed, and is experiencing growth because technological changes and the abundance of knowledge produce economic growth. For a firm to succeed, marketing is crucial, but for MSMEs, it can be difficult (Sharma et al., 2017). To compete with larger, more established businesses, additional resources and assistance are required. For the survival and sustainability, strategic orientations are required (Ejovwokeoghene Isiavwe-Ogbari et al., 2018) because in crowded markets when customers have a lot of options, it can be very challenging. Smaller businesses may only have a limited ARTÍCULOS 4 Wisnu Yuwono; Selviana Dwi Fitriyanti; Ferdinand Nainggolan El impacto de la innovación en marketing digital y la orientación estratégica en el rendimiento de las empresas: Mediación por la capacidad de marketing y moderación por la gestión del riesgo N. 39, 2025 – ISSN: 1886-516X – DOI: 10.46661/rev.metodoscuant.econ.empresa.10841 – [Págs. 1-19] Revista de Métodos Cuantitativos para la Economía y la Empresa number of resources, whereas larger businesses may have more resources but may find it difficult to adopt new technologies (Akpan et al., 2021). A company’s capacity to successfully integrate digital marketing innovations and boost performance can be impacted by marketing capability, which includes human and financial resources, technology, and strategy (Tariq et al., 2022). MSME’s sustainability and resilience are vulnerable to risk, in this addition to compete in markets and to attain a stable position, companies can formulate risk management to encourage their success (Pulka et al., 2018). Based on general survey in CRMS 2023 (Siregar et.al, 2023), it shows that in general, most companies are quite concerned with the risk management function. However, company management is expected to continue to implement risk management functions in their company or organization. This research analysing the impact of digital marketing innovation and strategic orientation towards firm performance with marketing capability as mediation and its effect on firm performance with risk management as moderation variable. Pic 2. Research Model 2. LITERATURE REVIEW 2.1. The Relationship between Digital Marketing Innovation and Marketing Capability Digital marketing is an activity using technology in marketing products or services (Andhyka et al., 2023) and currently considered as critical aspect of business (Afriyie et al., 2019). The creation of market products, business processes, or business models as a result of the application of digital technology is digital innovation (Nambisan et al., 2017). It is becoming effective when it involves innovation for businesses to reveal their improved products before the competitors to the market (Muis et al., 2022) so they can attract new customers to nurture its competencies (Hanaysha et al., 2022). This is positively impact firm performance since it is allowing companies to reach more audiences, strengthen customer engagement, and collect data for targeted advertising (Jung & Shegai, 2023). H1: Digital marketing innovation has significant effect on marketing capability.

The Relationship between Strategic Orientation and Marketing Capability Strategic orientation is widely used on the management strategy, entrepreneurship, and marketing (Darmanto et al., 2014). The activities of the way that businesses engage in intelligence gathering activities to gather data that may be used to enhance internal decision-making and gain competitive advantage (Adams et al., 2019). As it indicates the ability to achieve their goals (Samad, 2022). As a guiding principle, business’ marketing and strategy is influenced by strategic orientation (Theodosiou et al., 2012). This can lead to competitive advantage through marketing orientation (Gotteland et al., 2020). H2: Strategic orientation has significant effect on marketing capability. 2.3. The Relationship between Digital Marketing Innovation and Firm Performance With innovation, businesses may create items that meet the needs of customers which can boost the quantity of sales (Alim Musonnafa & Djazuli, 2022). Its impact on product quality and operational effectiveness can affect competitiveness and performance improvement, particularly for MSMEs (Farida & Setiawan, 2022). Digital marketing innovation will have a significant impact on firm performance (Reyes-Gómez et al., 2024)innovation and firm performance and to examine the role of innovation in the relationship while avoiding circular arguments. The universalistic approach suggests that strategic orientations have independent and parallel effects on firms’ performance, and that innovation does not influence this relationship. The holistic approach proposes that strategic orientations in a complementary and interrelated view have both direct and indirect effects on firms’ performance through innovation. Design/methodology/approach: A meta-analytic path analysis applying two-stage structural equation modeling (TSSEM. In this era of digital, innovation in the form of digital marketing will be extremely beneficial to MSMEs. With low-cost promotion, this will increase brand recognition, brand image, sales growth (Muis et al., 2022), gain more business contacts, ability to exhibit firm expertise, better customer feedback and satisfaction, explore market research, and improve the products and services (Qalati et al., 2022). H3: Digital marketing innovation has significant effect on firm performance. 2.4. The Relationship between Strategic Orientation and Firm Performance In order to support a company’s viability and performance, strategic orientation is seen as guiding principle that influences the way businesses operate through a deeply ingrained set of values and beliefs (Didonet et al., 2020). Strategic orientation has a significant impact on performance because it increases competitive advantage and creates value for consumers (Reyes-Gómez et al., 2024)innovation and firm performance and to examine the role of innovation in the relationship while avoiding circular arguments. The universalistic approach suggests that strategic orientations have independent and parallel effects on firms’ performance, and that innovation does not influence this relationship. The holistic approach proposes that strategic orientations in a complementary and interrelated view have both direct and indirect effects on firms’ performance through innovation. Design/methodology/approach: A meta-analytic path analysis applying two-stage structural equation modeling (TSSEM. It is used by a company to instill the right behaviours for the continuing, superior operation of the enterprise. In these conditions, strategic orientations can be characterized as the values that guide and affect the company’s operations and produce the behaviours that are crucial to the success of the company (Acar & Ozs, 2018), and it is an important capability that can improve firm performance (Adefulu et al., 2022).

The Relationship between Marketing Capability and Firm Performance Marketing capability is crucial for business survival (Davcik et al., 2020) as it is a driver of firm performance (Jeong et al., 2019) with the ability to design and implement effective marketing strategies and techniques to promote its products or services which can lead to build brand awareness and increase profitability. To ensure the survival and growth of businesses, marketing is a critical component (Rekarti et al., 2018) to achieve competitive advantage (Homburg & Wielgos, 2022) and noticeably affects on performance in SMEs (Ejrami et al., 2016) as firms with superior marketing capabilities expand faster which is an important factor of profit growth rates (Joensuu-Salo et al., 2023). H5: Marketing capability has significant effect on firm performance. 2.6. The Relationship between Marketing Capability and Firm Performance with Risk Management as Moderating Variable. Marketing competence is crucial for organizations of all sizes and industries because it allows them to reach and engage with their target customers, differentiate themselves from competitors, and drive sales and revenue growth. A strong marketing competence can also assist a business in adapting to changing market and customer needs, staying ahead of trends, and innovating new products or services (Jung & Shegai, 2023). Risk is seen as an essential component of a company’s operations. Financial risk is one of the most serious problem to SMEs. The most typical signs of SME financial risk are difficulties in business financing because the majority of the company’s operation is supported by the owners or managers themselves. This could lead to an increase in operational costs and debt as well as debt repayment issues (Dvorsky et al., 2021). Risk management improves firm performance Candy, 2021), and the company has policies for good financial management and shareholder confidence (Karina et al., 2023). In order to minimize risks to improve the firm’s performance, manager can formulate different strategies. This process to cope with risks is defined as risk management (Rehman & Anwar, 2019). H6: Marketing capability with risk management as moderating variable has significant effect on firm performance. 2.7. The Relationship between Digital Marketing Innovation and Strategic Orientation on Firm Performance with Marketing Capability as Mediating Variable As a conduit for distributing electronic word-of-mouth about a product, brand, or company, social media marketing is used. the use of social media platforms to spark dialogue and favourably affect customer behaviour, such as product purchases, newsletter subscriptions, online community registration, and other consumer behaviours (Tarsakoo & Charoensukmongkol, 2020) in specific social media platforms by age, sex, region, preferences, etc (Basri, 2016). Such innovation is regarded as a vital component by organizations seeking to give superior value propositions to markets; as a result, these firms endeavour to understand customers through obtaining market intelligence in order to anticipate changes in customers’ wants and behaviours (Thoumrungroje & Racela, 2022). However, the usage of online social media has a greater impact on firm performance (Tajvidi & Karami, 2021). Most businesses strive for long-term competitive advantage and good performance. Firm performance is exhibited based on the firm’s business objective, goal, and strategy. The word firm performance refers to the level of achievement that a company typically achieves. The word firm performance refers to the achievement of market and financial objectives (Samad, 2022). Although performance is the core of all organizational processes and activities and is what defines an organization’s survival, it is a relative concept or phrase that is used in different contexts to explain how actions achieve their goals (Sawaean & Ali, 2020). H7. Digital marketing innovation with marketing capability as mediating variable has significant effect on firm performance. H8: Strategic orientation with marketing capability as mediating variable has significant effect on firm performance.

METHODOLOGY The focus of this study is to explain the cause-and-effect relationship of independent variables, including digital marketing innovation and strategic orientation, on the dependent variable, namely firm performance, conveyed through the mediation of marketing capability and moderation of risk management. The population in this study is food and beverage MSMEs in Tanjung Pinang City, the capital city of the Riau Islands Province of Indonesia country. The number of these businesses is estimated to be more than 5,000 units, because the data on the number of small businesses alone for food and non-food based on Indonesia Statistics 2020 data is 4,080 business units, not including micro and medium businesses. Sampling technique is used to collect data and it does not randomly select samples but intentionally chooses them based on specified criteria/purposive sampling (Buelens et al., 2018) which were: 1) MSMEs operated in food and beverage, 2) been operating in minimun 1 year, and 3) located in Tanjungpinang area. With total of 20 questions, this research is using (Hair Jr et al., 2021) theory of 1:10 where each indicator will be represented by 10 respondents. A total of 20 questions covering aspects of Digital Marketing Innovation consisting of 3 questions (Sudjatmoko et al., 2023), Strategic Orientation with 4 questions (Tseng et al., 2019), Marketing Capability consisting of 3 questions (Jeong et al., 2019), Firm Performance with 4 questions (Didonet et al., 2020), and Risk Management consisting of 6 questions (Rehman & Anwar, 2019), are distributed through Google Form to individuals owning the business of food and beverage in Tanjungpinang. Participants’s responses are measured using a Likert scale of 1-5, where 1 indicates “strongly disagree” and 5 indicates “strongly agree” (Farida & Setiawan, 2022). Data testing is conducted using the Smart-PLS version 3. In this study, the researchers examine the relationships among digital marketing innovation, strategic orientation, and firm performance with marketing capability as mediating variable and risk management as moderating variable through descriptive statistical analysis, validity test, reliability test, hypothesis test, model fit evaluation, and R Square test. 4. RESULT AND DISCUSSION 4.1. Demographic of Respondents There are 279 samples of the owners of food and beverage business in Tanjungpinang. The majority are female, 56 % of the 279 respondents. The age distribution of the survey participants is 35 % between 17-27 years (97 participants), 29 % between 28-38 years (82 participants), 22 % between 39-50 years (61 participants), and 14 % more than 50 years (39 participants). In terms of business period, 48 % have been operating for 3 – 4.9 years, 34 % have been operating for 5 – 9.9 years, and 18 % have been operating for more than 10 years. The majority of businesses have less than 3 employess with percentage of 48 %, 3 – 5 employees with percentage of 28 %, and more than 5 employees with percentage of 13 %. And lastly, 69 % have income less than Rp. 25.000.000, 24 % have income between Rp. 25.000.000 – Rp. 50.000.000, and 18 % have income more than Rp. 50.000.000.

This certainly puts heavy pressure on MSMEs in increasing company profits. On this occasion, the researcher tries to offer a risk management framework that is considered effective and structured regarding the right risk treatment. This risk treatment contains actions after a risk response in aligning the extent to which this risk can be accepted by the company, so that financial performance remains the main goal. The last recommendation is to improve the administration of financial reports according to standards, this aims to evaluate its financial performance better so that it can avoid losses. 7. CONCLUSION Based on the results of the analysis and discussion, it was concluded that: 1) digital marketing innovation has a significant effect on marketing capability, 2) digital marketing innovation has a significant effect on firm performance, 3) digital marketing innovation has a significant effect on firm performance, 4) strategic orientation has significant effect on firm performance., 5) marketing capability has no significant effect on firm performance., 6) marketing capability with risk management as moderating variable has no significant effect on firm performance., 7) digital marketing innovation with marketing capability as mediating variable has no significant effect on firm performance., 8) strategic orientation with marketing capability as mediating variable has no significant effect on firm performance. This research is practically useful in providing recommendations, especially in managing strategies for MSME activities related to current developments which cannot be separated from internet. Digital marketing innovation and strategic orientation are mandatory for MSME players to expand their market share and obtain appropriate profits. However, MSMEs must also be careful in using their funds to increase marketing capacity because excessive use of funds and without in-depth analysis will result in decreasing of firm performance. In this research, it is also recommended that MSMEs might start to implement risk management principles and policies, because not all MSMEs have implemented it, even though at a basic level, the existence of this risk policy could be one solution in controlling finances to achieve better firm performance and sustainable. This research has limitations because what is being observed is still within the scope of MSMEs in the food and beverage sector, in the future research, it is possible to carry out on other MSME businesses beyond food and beverage, such as manufacturing, and with a qualitative approach to obtain a more in-depth analysis. Currently, in the era of big data technology and AI, skill and knowledge, IT-aligment, and this related topic could be interesting research in the future.
