Background of Study

The existence of a global market will increase the interpenetration of the economy and the interdependence of economic actors that ultimately require these companies to evaluate and modify their competitive strategy. Businesses of this century will face more challenges because consumers are more looking at high-quality and inexpensive products. This century's business is more responsive to rapid changes. In many industries, rapid socio-political change will increase the number and strength of new competitors from within and even abroad. The complexity and challenges facing demand the company to have the right innovation strategy so that it can compete with competitors, especially small and medium enterprises (SMEs).Experience in developed countries shows that SMEs are the source of innovation production and technology innovations, creative and innovative entrepreneurial growth, the creation of skilled work teams. Meanwhile, the flexibility of the SME production process enables the SMEs to cope with the increasingly diverse and specific segmentation of market demand. The ability of these SMEs is determined by a number of factors, including human resources (managers and workers), technology mastery, access to information, output and input markets, work ethic, creativity, work motivation, and so on. Currently, the development of the business environment is heavily influenced by technological changes whether large, medium, or small. Therefore, a new strategy is needed for the company to have competitiveness. Through strategy means companies seek to dig deeper into the potential to maximize the end result to be achieved and at the same time develop the ability to adapt to environmental changes very quickly. The ability of

companies to compete is one of the factors that determine the success of the company. Therefore, companies must analyze the competing forces they have. Changes in competing forces on the one hand can encourage a company to grow more, but on the other hand it can also threaten its development.Meanwhile, the challenges and obstacles facing SMEs should make SMEs actors create and innovate. Therefore, SMEs need support from stakeholders such as the government, SOEs, financial / non-financial institutions and NGOs to protect the business continuity. According to Schilling MA (2015, 84), one of the most important to excel in intercompany competition is innovation strategy. Innovation is classified into two different types, namely radical and incremental innovation. This type of innovation is distinguished on the basis of knowledge and skills and impact on relationships between customers and competitors of the company. Radical innovation is said to be a very new and different innovation from existing solutions. While incremental innovation is an innovation that results in minor changes from (or adaptation) to existing practices.

Based on previous research, there is an inconsistent relationship between the variables of market leadership orientation, level of investment, innovation strategy, and business performance. The results of Abdul Haris Perwiranegara (2015, 77 - 89) explain the orientation of market leadership directly influence the innovation strategy but does not affect business performance. The results of Mohamad Soleh's research (2008, 6) suggests the market leadership orientation proved to have a positive effect on the level of investment and corporate performance and the level of investment positively affect the company's performance.

Research Objective

Based on the above it is necessary research on the influence of determinants of innovation strategies and their impact on business performance. The purpose of this research is to know the implementation of home industry about orientation of market leadership, investment level, innovation strategy, and business performance; the influence of market leadership orientation and partial investment rate on innovation strategy, and business performance; the influence of innovation strategies on business performance.

According to Tjiptono Fandy ( 2008), the orientation of market leadership consists of leading behavior, challenging, following, or working on a small portion of all available markets (niches). The market leader is a company recognized by the industry concerned as a leader with the characteristics of having the largest market share (40%) in the relevant product market, superior to other companies in terms of new product introductions, price changes, coverage distribution channels, and promotional intensity, are the centers of competitors' orientation (attacked, imitated, or shunned). Market challengers are "runner-up" companies that constantly try to enlarge their market share, in which they are dealing openly and directly with market leaders. Characteristics of the company: usually a large company in terms of sales volume and profit (market share ± 30%); always try to find the weakness of the market leader or other company, and then attack it either directly or indirectly. Market challengers typically also concentrate their efforts on taking over weak firms. Market follower is a company that takes an attitude of not harassing the market leader and is only satisfied with how to adapt to market conditions. Characteristics of market followers consist of: always trying to accentuate its trademark to the target market, such as location, service, product superiority, and so on; choosing to imitate a product or strategy of a market leader and a market challenger rather than attacking them; usually earn a high profit because it does not bear the burden of high expenditure for innovation. The niche marketer is a company that specializes in serving some markets that big companies ignore, and avoids clashing with big companies, the characteristics of the following niche marketers: usually geographically specialize; is a company whose purchasing power and size are large enough to be able to grasp, have the potential to develop, have the skills and sufficient resources to fulfill the market niche needs effectively, able to defend themselves from big competitors with goodwill customer.

Rademakers (2005: 130-136) and Gunday, et al (2008: 1-43), innovation strategies used were process innovation, product innovation, and organizational innovation. Process innovation is a change in the way in which products are created and distributed. Process innovation is a form of innovation that emphasizes new methods of operation by creating new technologies or developing existing technologies. While product innovation changes in the products or services the organization offers. Product innovation is the result of the creation and introduction of products radically or modification of existing products. Then organizational innovation is a new method of managing, coordinating, and overseeing employees, activities, and responsibilities.

Investment is the attribution of sources in the long term to generate profits in the future ( Mulyadi, 2001; 284). According to Abdul Halim in Fahmi Irham's (2014; 8) book, investment is essentially a placement of funds at the moment in the hope of making a profit in the future. Obviously the process of seeking profits by investing is something that requires analysis and deep calculation by not ruling out the principle of prudence (prudent principle). In its activities, investments are generally known to exist in two forms, namely real investment, and financial investment ( Fahmi Irham 2014 p. 9). Real investment is a real investment that generally involves the purchase of tangible productive assets such as factory establishment, mining opening, plantation opening and others. Financial investment is a financial act involving written contracts such as common stock and bonds.

According to Pleffer & Salancik ( 1978), business performance is defined as the company's ability to make acceptable actions and results (Pleffer & Salancik 1978). But the performance of the company must be conceptualized and operationalized, and can be measured in several ways. Alasadi and Abdelrahim ( 2007) stated that the performance of SMEs can be seen from the satisfaction of owner / manager (dependent variable) on profit, turnover, break even point, and business development. According to Leitner and Gueldenberg ( 2006), Oke, et al ( 2007), Murat and Baki ( 2011), indicators of sales growth, employment growth and income growth.

Methodology

The population of this study is entrepreneur of SMEs the home industry in the area of ​​DKI Jakarta on the grounds that this region is the largest base of SMEs in supporting the economy in the Capital Jakarta.

The sampling technique used purposive sampling to get 92 respondents.

Test Validity is used to indicate the extent to which a statement in a questionnaire is able to reveal something that the questionnaire will measure. This validity test ensures that each statement will be classified on the construct validity. If a statement is able to reveal something that will be measured by a questionnaire, then the questionnaire is called valid.

Test Reliability is used to measure whether a respondent's response. If the respondent is consistent in answering the statement in the questionnaire, then the data is reliable. A construct or variable is said to be reliable if the SPSS statistical test gives a value of loading factor > 0.60 ( Ghozali 2005).

The model used in this research is the model of causality or relationship or influence, therefore the analysis technique used is path analysis. Through SEM will be known influence between variables, models or structural equations, and the results of testing goodness of fit. The model in this study describes the relationship between variables that can be seen in the picture below.

  1. Leaders and innovation are two things that must always go hand in hand. That is, where there is a leader then there is innovation and new ideas. There must be an improvement plan. To do so, the leader must know the context and situation of the institution he leads. Every idea must be learned in depth So innovations and new ideas that emerge are not tacky and subsequently realistic. Then why should innovate? Innovation is a means to respond to the challenges of change. New developments happen all the time, even in seconds. The job of a leader is to observe the change and prepare itself and its institutions to deal with the changes that will take place. Here, the intelligence of seeing the future or vision is the key to a leader's success.Leaders and innovation are two things that must always go hand in hand.

Of course, continuous innovation will endlessly bring goodness for himself and his institution. Look at Apple led by Steve Jobs is very innovative, now began to step over the hegemony of Microsoft in the IT gadget market. No other and no is innovation and the vision of Steve Jobs who seemed to never stop.

A leader must have good innovations to continually change in reference to be better suited to the times. Organizations that are able to continually make knowledge creation are called learning organizations.

To be a good leader can manage finances well. Leaders need to be a good manager, especially in finance, either professionally or personally. Many leaders today have realized the importance of having a strong financial foundation to enable them to feel more secure and do what they know is right for their organization, rather than taking action that can protect their own position within the organization. Therefore, if a leader is concerned about money issues, it will be difficult for them to inspire others. That is some effective leader strategy that can be done to develop a company or organization that is a leader must know how to manage good finance in the form of investments or funds running.
