Abstract

Customs and culture should create women’s independence to actualize themselves in an era of emerging social progress in order to lead to the domination of women in the development of creative businesses. This research examines the role of social capital and whether it becomes a supporting or hindering factor in developing the creative industry of women entrepreneurs by examining the role of information sharing and innovations. Employing purposive sampling, questionnaires were distributed to 200 women entrepreneurs, and data were analyzed by using Structural Equation Modeling(PLS–SEM)software with SmartPLS Version 3.0. Social capital has a positive influence on the business performance of women entrepreneurs in Bali, Indonesia. Thus, the beliefs and norms that exist in the social capital of the Balinese Hindu concept can filter the information obtained from various information in business, which will ultimately be utilized by women entrepreneurs to create various innovations to meet the market demand. However, opportunities for women entrepreneurs are very limited to capital due to lack of guarantees to get capital, and a lack of entrepreneurship skills in the technological era, market access, bureaucracy, and legalization. Further, managerial skills, access to information technology, as well as the perspective that the men must be superior in Balinese culture and customs, make business for women entrepreneurs limited.

Summary

Introduction

Entrepreneurship has been considered as the prosperity foundation of many countries, it has not been fully exploited with more significant opportunities for women [3]. Women entrepreneurs in Indonesia have supported the country’s economic progress and prosperity [4], and it was mainly during the financial crisis in 1998 when women’s entrepreneurship began to emerge for various reasons [4]. On Bali Island, which is part of Indonesia, Balinese culture adopts a male-centric culture that requires men to be more dominant than women [5]. Balinese women are required to adjust themselves to a tradition that prioritizes togetherness, making opportunities for Balinese women to establish a business [8]. Performing a dual role, Balinese women are responsible for family survival and improving family economic conditions [7]
