Abstract
As a pillar of the Indonesian economy, Micro Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises
(MSMEs) are not only a dominant contributor to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but
also absorb domestic workers up to 97 percent in 2020. In the Industrial Revolution 4.0
era, MSMEs are faced with challenges that arise due to the massive use of digital
technology. To be able to win the competition, MSMEs are required not only to have
high performance and competitiveness, but also and to have the readiness to compete in
current business competition. In other words, becoming an MSMEs 4.0 is an important
decision. To realize it, collaboration with external parties through a knowledge transfer
mechanism is needed, one of which is collaboration with higher education. This paper
discusses the proposed conceptual framework of knowledge transfer from universities
to MSMEs toward MSMEs 4.0. The discussion includes the concept of MSMEs 4.0 and
how to become MSMEs 4.0, previous conceptual and empirical studies knowledge
transfer practices from universities to MSMEs, and a proposed conceptual framework
on inter-organizational knowledge transfer involving universities and MSMEs toward
MSME 4.0. The discussion ends with conclusions and suggestions for future research
development.
