INTEGRITY IN MAKING DECISIONS IN RUNNING A BUSINESS, IS IMPORTANT?

Abstract

In small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), there is still a condition where some SME owners think that the business they run is only a side business. SME owners have not fully realized how to improve the sustainability of their business. This condition occurs to SME owners in the Meruya Selatan Village, Kembangan District, Mayor of West Jakarta. Through leadership integrity, SME owners are expected to be able to think and act like entrepreneurs who are persistent in improving their business through making the right decisions. Business ventures can grow, one of which is influenced by how a business owner (leader) is able to develop their leadership integrity. Why is this so important, of course because leadership integrity will create the integrity of the products produced by the business venture.
