Summary

INTRODUCTION

The success of microfinance institutions is not located in lending but the range of credit services provided to the public (Yaron et al, 1997). Applications of cultural harmony in microfinance institutions have an impact on the efficiency, credit risk and financial performance (Astawa et al, 2012, 2013). Application of cultural harmony is one of the tools to encourage people to adhere to an agreement they credit with the aim of not more than five percent (Regional Devt Bank, 2013) These conditions must be addressed by providing an understanding of cultural harmony to all customers or rural communities in order to avoid misunderstandings or different interpretations of harmony cultural practices performed by microfinance institutions. This research builds a model of information delivery harmonious culture run by the Village Credit Institutions (LPD) through information technology to rural communities in order to increase the financial performance can be achieved. Special technology investments including the computers, the steamengine, and the dynamo (David, 1990; Greenwood and Jovanovic, 1999) provides an important role in improving corporate performance
