In the last decade, the natural environment has become increasingly concerned. The issue of natural damage is an obstacle for oil palm industry, although knowledge of the natural environment is possessed by the palm oil industry, which is currently unknown what motivates the palm oil industry to care about the natural environment. This paper aims to measure the model of the natural environment strategy to create innovation and competitive advantage in the palm oil industry using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) methods. The model adopts a Resource-Based View (RBV) approach to identify competitive strengths. The RBV theory represents that organizations with the right resources coupled with the right management skills and abilities will develop competitive strength and organizational performance. The results produced by AMOS graphics version 23, SEM statistical software, confirm the adequacy of the model for companies engaged in the palm oil industry. The questionnaire was distributed to palm oil industries in Riau Province, Indonesia with a sample size of 115 respondents. Natural environment strategy was found to be a better predictor of innovation and competitive advantage than any external resources. The results of the study show that there was a gap where previous research tends to get a competitive advantage from increasing innovation. However, the findings of this paper have two explanations, first is the core of the resource-based view is that companies that are aware of the natural environment will get a sustainable competitive advantage. Second, innovation cannot be an important resource for creating a competitive advantage. Innovation will be created in the palm oil industry in Riau Province if the company wants to improve business processes and implement good corporate governance through investment in information and communication technology. The most potential benefit from the findings of this study is the strategic planning of the palm oil industry, to generate innovation and competitive advantage from awareness of the natural environment.

Over the last few years, knowledge has become part of the operations, both at the productive and service level; being considered as an important resource in companies, since it can generate competitive advantage. The objective was to determine the relationship between the activities developed by the companies from Nonaka & Takeuchi's (1995) approach and the creation of qualitative and quantitative value in 150 micro-entrepreneurs from different sectors. Partial least squares regression technique was used for data analysis and the results showed a direct relationship between socialization, combination and internalization and value creation; on the other hand, the relationship between externalization and value creation was inverse. For all relationships the p-value ensured the significance of them; finally, the study proposes the generation of intra and inter-organizational relationships for the creation, dissemination and use of knowledge in companies.

MSMEs in the ceramics industry are still experiencing a difficult period even though they have entered the post-pandemic period. Will competitive advantage be created from supply chain collaboration in terms of obtaining resource information which will ultimately create innovation and increase market demand? This research involved 200 ceramic MSMEs in Bali with the condition that the perpetrators had been running their business for more than one year, analyzed with SEM-PLS with the SmartPls processing tool. The results show that the relationship between market demands has a positive effect on competitive advantage and will give a boost to the performance of ceramics SMEs. While the collaborative relationship of innovation value does not have a positive effect on performance and competitive advantage because so far ceramic SMEs, especially photocatalysts, are still relatively new and are still running their business in one small group and no organization has yet been formed to support the acquisition of information related to the innovations to be carried out. This research also shows that the mediation of competitive advantage is the perfect mediation in creating market demand in improving the performance of MSMEs.
