Abstract:
The development of a business canvas for imported products in Indonesia is relatively straightforward due to the numerous trade barriers that still require significant improvement. This paper aims to explore the factors that contribute to competitive advantage, enabling Indonesian products to effectively compete with imports. The research methodology is grounded in relevant studies that focus on establishing a robust business canvas, which is essential for determining the reliable performance of companies. The utilization of NVivo software will facilitate the identification of key themes and subthemes that are critical considerations for business actors and firms in the context of global competition, while also providing an empirical overview of the exploratory findings. The conclusion of this paper offers valuable insights into business strategies based on the development of a business canvas, equipping Indonesian entrepreneurs with the necessary tools to compete against imported products.
