Abstract

The definition and criteria of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are essential and valuable in constructing statistics and observing economic aspects. Moreover, precise definition and criteria can provide arbitrary thresholds for imposing the regulations to determine qualification for particular forms of public support, especially empowerment of MSME. Therefore, it is necessary to get clear and unambiguous MSMEs' definitions by fulfilling good criteria provisions that are consistent, non-redundant, and complete. This paper aims to analyze if the definition and criteria of MSMEs in Law No. 20 of 2008 the Government of Indonesia on MSME have a clear and unambiguous interpretation. This paper only evaluates the law object by content analysis that uses conceptual thinking, primarily determined by cognitive mapping, to verify whether there is an ambiguous definition and criteria. The analysis method uses an in-depth interpretation of the definition and criteria of MSME as stated in Law No. 20 of 2008 through a descriptive approach using verificative-evaluative design and library research to provide the data from prior studies. The results of this paper discover that the criteria do not meet the requirements to be considered good criteria, which raises unclear and ambiguous interpretations in the classification of MSME into Micro, Small, and Medium enterprises. To resolve this, we suggest removing or changing one or more criteria. This topic could become the foundation for future research to explore more empirical work.
