Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategies needed for SMEs to improve business performance. Research conducted on the owners of SMEs in Malang Regency as many as 50 SMEs. Data collection techniques used questionnaires, and data analysis using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. The results showed that the implementation of small and medium enterprise business growth strategy includes penetration strategy, market development, product development, and diversification strategy. A penetration strategy is a factor that plays a major role in improving the growth strategy. Another finding is that product development strategy is a strategy preferred by small and medium business owners by generating products or services with different characteristics from competitors, and utilizing technology to make production processes more efficient. A penetration strategy is the most important type of strategy for SME growth, but it is the most widely applied product development strategy. The implication of this research is that SMEs should begin to improve the implementation of penetration strategies to improve business performance by attracting old customers to buy more SME products.
