- 5. Categorization of Small Business in Indonesia (UMKM) Small-medium businesses or Usaha Mikro, Kecil dan Menengah (UMKM) is an important role for economic development and distributing development results in Indonesia, it holds 99.99% of businesses operating in Indonesia and also 90% of workforce. Having a small or medium business would get only a small impact by any monetary crisis as it holds up small capital unlike large companies (Indonesia B, 2015, p.). However, According to Tambunan (2011), the presence of many micro and small businesses in Indonesia determines that the country has many unemployed people and/or has poverty problems as most of these businesses are held by people living in a poor household, or that they could not find any better job. Therefore, in Indonesia, having a micro or small business established does not mean that the owners have entrepreneurial spirit.
