Accordingly, this study aims to evaluate compliance with the total TAPS ban at PoS in Klungkung and the factors associated.

The survey involved 200 samples of PoS and also the managers, which selected using stratified simple random sampling for registered PoS and a walking protocol for unregistered PoS. Data was collected through observation using a checklist and interview using a structured questionnaire by eight well-trained enumerators. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The study successfully observed 200 PoS and also interviewed 200 PoS managers. The result showed the compliance was 72.5%. Of 9 factors analyzed using regression analysis, it was found that factors associated with the compliance were knowledge and attitude PoS manager toward TAPS ban (OR=11.3; CI:1.233-103.414; p=0.008), perceived of socio-economic impact factor (OR=8.1; CI:3.584-18.400; p<0.01), and tobacco industry interference (OR=2.8; CI:1.441-5.594; p=0,003).

Purpose: This study examines sustainable competitive advantage in the SME sector, which consists of three determinant factors: business performance, open innovation, and intellectual capital. It also extends the accepted procedure to include the effects of technology adoption and strategic flexibility. Design/methodology/approach: The target sample consisted of 210 export SMEs in Bali, Indonesia. This study employs a self-administered questionnaire distributed to managers and key employees, with 630 surveys successfully collected and PLS-SEM used to analyze the data. Findings: This study corroborates the notion that intellectual capital is crucial in building sustainable competitive advantage. Further, these results also highlight the roles of technology adoption and strategic flexibility as strategic factors that reinforce intellectual capital and indirectly affect sustainable competitive advantage. The results of this study present an insightful understanding to theorists and managers regarding how the sustainable competitive advantage of SMEs faces global competition. Originality/value: This paper is the first study to integrate technology adoption and strategic flexibility to enhance a sustainable competitive advantage-based performance model in the SME sector. Research limitations/implications: The primary limitation involves the data collected from SMEs in Indonesia. Given the difference in SME managers’ attitudes and behaviors, the findings of this study are most likely not able to be generalized. Practical implications: SME managers are required to offer employees opportunities to transmit their knowledge into great ideas. Consequently, managers are to innovate constantly, using relationships to obtain knowledge, creating unique knowledge for the organization, and meeting market expectations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
