Abstract

In accordance with the Indonesia’s economic principle, which is kinship, the most suitable economical entity for Indonesian is cooperative. Cooperative is known as Indonesia’s economic “soko-guru”, meaning that cooperative is a backbone, main pillar, and a driving force of Indonesia’s economic. Cooperative is an entity that consists of people who put their capital and manage the business together, and the benefit will be used for the welfare of its member. As a business entity that is managed together and for the mutual benefit by embracing the principle of kinship, cooperative becomes a foundation for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in managing their business. Afiah (2009) and Kuncoro (2000) stated the weaknesses of MSMEs, which are: (i) inability to capture market opportunities and expand their market share; (ii) inability to access fund sources (capital) and weaknesses in capital structuring; (iii) inability in organization and human resource development management skill; (iv) limited network of cooperative business between MSMEs; (v) non-conducive business climate because it tend to grow to unhealthy competition; (vi) supporting program given is still not comprehensive; and (vii) lack of community trust and care for MSMEs. This research will be conducted to investigate the role of cooperative in MSMEs growth in Indonesia by answering those weaknesses.
