The Effect of Social Capital and Organizational Health on Competitive Advantages of Culinary and Craft SMEs in Samarinda City
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Abstract
a. In this section, the author needs to convey briefly (maximum three sentences) the problem of competitive advantage faced by SMEs in Samarinda.
b. Authors also need to convey research objectives, not research questions.
c. The author does not need to describe the number of dimensions used. This is conveyed in the research methods section.
d. At the end, the author should convey the contribution of this research, not suggestions for further research.
Introduction
a. This paper does not contain sufficient new and significant information to justify publication. The author does not clearly describe the value of the paper. The author does not need to explain the research location, which should explain in the research method section.
b. Authors need to describe the urgency of this research topic explicitly. The author needs to write down the gaps in the phenomenon (supplemented by data), limited knowledge in this field, or limitations of previous research so that they can formulate the problem clearly and precisely.
c. Writers need to write down the objectives and results of this research (briefly). In addition, the authors need to add the contribution of this research, both theoretical and practical.
Literature Review
The author needs to put forward a theory that underlies this research. The author also needs to describe the linkages of theory with the research variables studied.
Method
Research methods are very inadequate. The author has not clearly and systematically explained this research method.
a. First, the authors must describe this study's population, sample, and respondents. The author needs to explain the reason for choosing the research location (Samarinda) and the reasons underlying the use of culinary and craft SMEs. The author needs to describe how to determine the number of samples of 365 SMEs. The author needs to explain the technique of recruiting respondents.
b. Second, the author must explain the data collection method, including the reasons for online distributing the questionnaire. Please convey the steps for distributing the online questionnaire and the timeframe for distributing the questionnaire.
c. The author needs to describe the names of the variables tested and the operational definitions of the variables. The author also needs to mention the number and content of research indicators. Also, explain the reference for the questionnaire used and whether the questionnaire was adopted or adapted from previous research. Mention the number of questions for each variable in the distributed questionnaire. The author needs to make 1 table describing the variable names, operational definitions of variables, the number and indicators used, and references to the questionnaire.
Result and discussion
a. The author needs to add a non-response bias test to find out whether there is a difference in the results between the respondents who filled in at the beginning and end of the study.
b. The author needs to add the demographic characteristics of the respondents.
c. The author needs to convey descriptive statistics from the respondents' answers.
d. The author does not need to say, "null hypothesis is rejected".
e. However, the authors need to add scientific arguments to the results of hypothesis testing. Scientific explanations should be based on relevant theories to strengthen the results of this research. Furthermore, the authors must compare this study's results with previous studies (using maximum references from the last five years).
Conclusion
a. Conclusions should not include the results of statistical tests again. The conclusion describes that the research results have answered the objectives of this study.
b. In this section, the authors are asked to add research implications.
c. The authors are also advised to add limitations and suggestions for further research.
References
The author needs to replace some references that are not up to date. Authors should reference a maximum of the last five years and refer to high-quality references. In addition, for references that use non-English, the author should add a translation in English so that readers understand the source of the reference.

Reviewer 2 Report
The article presents and organizes knowledge within the study area in a logical manner. The proportions of particular parts have generally been selected in a correct way. The layout of the paper is correct. It is clear and transparent.
The main question addressed by the research is how the influence of social capital with its 3 dimensions, namely relational, structural, and cognitive along with organizational health with its eight dimensions, namely direction, leadership, accountability, control coordination, capabilities, motivation, external orientation, and learning innovation affect competitive advantage in VRIN.
The conclusions are consistent with the evidence and arguments presented and they do address the main question posed.
I consider the topic relevant in the field of interest of the journal. The discussed topic isn't original and impressive from a scientific point of view, but the article may be of interest to an international audience.
The research method uses a survey method with a quantitative approach. The technique used in this study is the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis technique.
The references are appropriate.
In the introduction: author/-s should write why the topic is significant and point the novelty of the study.
In the introduction, shortcut VRIN should be explained as Valuable, Rare, Inimitable and Non-Substituable – for the better understanding of the text.
More managerial conclusions and applications should be indicated in the article.
The Figure 1 (a) is unreadable.
The research assumptions lack information on how authors selected a sample for the study.

Reviewer 3 Report
This research shows that social capital and organizational health have a strong and positive relationship with competitive advantage in small companies in the culinary and craft sectors, specifically through a study in Samarinda City.
The authors present relevant, current, and classic references. They elaborated a text that clearly explained how they conducted all the research.
Below I add some suggestions that may contribute to the manuscript having a better chance of publication:
**In the introduction, there are several preliminary surveys. It remains doubtful whether the authors applied these surveys or whether they were found in the references cited throughout the manuscript.
If the authors designed and applied the preliminary surveys, I suggest explaining the research protocol followed.
**In Theoretical framework
In the second paragraph, the authors state that social capital should be analyzed as a multidimensional construction and that there are several dimensions. However, in the sequence, they say just three dimensions form social capital. Thus, some doubts remain: did the authors use the division of the dimensions of social capital proposed by a particular author, and, consequently, are there other proposals that divide social capital into more dimensions? Or did the authors present the three dimensions as the only division used to analyze social capital?
On page six, the last paragraph, the authors use the acronym HRM. However, although it can be understood implicitly, many readers can be confused if it is not explicit what is HRM and or HR. I suggest that the authors add the meaning.
** Competitive advantage
On page 7, the second paragraph, Review the writing of the sentence that is between lines 283 and 286
**Materials and methods
It is unclear what basis was used to formulate the questionnaire questions. In addition, I suggest that the authors present the questionnaires developed and applied in the Appendix section.
**Discussion
Page 14, line 488, replace the word “cllnary” with the word “culinary”
It would be interesting if the authors could contrast the results that show the simultaneous effect of Social Capital and Organizational Health on competitive advantage. Even though there are no similar studies, I suggest that the authors expand the discussion on the relationship between these results and the phenomenon of the creative economy.

Reviewer 4 Report
General remarks:
1. English language is poor. Language professional's help is required, therefore, to make the paper suitable for further paper consideration as a candidate for being published.
2. Redundant contents and incomplete or meaningless sentences should be avoided.
3. Conclusions section needs completion.
Detailed remarks:
Line 14

The foundation of competitive advantage is by using a resource-based view (RBV) with unique characteristics such as the 4 pillars of VRIN (Value, Rarity, Inimitability, and Non-Substitutability)

---
IMHO the sentence is unclear and, as such, it should be corrected. Maybe the division of the sentence into two distinct sentences whould also help o make the presented idea more clear to the reader?
Lines 73-75
It is known that there are still many the culinary and craft SMEs in Samarinda City that do not have and optimally utilize resources as a form of competitive advantage.
---
IMHO this is next sentence that needs improvement.
Lines 75-78
It is known that there are still many the culinary and craft SMEs in Samarinda City that do not have and optimally utilize resources as a form of competitive advantage.

1. IMHO the sentence unnecessarily duplicates VRIN definition that is present in earlier text.
2. I would also sugest using term 'framework' instead of the term 'frame'.
Lines 88-89

Line 186-188
This is because social capital is not only because it is related to market sensitivity but also because it is mainly related to the success of the company and survival in the creative culture sector [35].
---
IMHO the sentence needs complete reconstruction!
Lines 190-192

--?-->
This is because social capital is related to market sensitivity and it is mainly related to the success of the company and survival in the creative culture sector [35].
Lines 195-196
Hypothesis 1 (H1): Social capital has a positive and significant effect on competitive advantage.
---
IMHO the hypothesis should be introduced more gently using a simple preceding sentence about its reasonability and not to appear just as a short headline on its own!
Lines 200-202
Organizational health is also defined as a complete state of operation and without obstacles from all formal, informal, main organizational processes, and additional [37].

What do you mean by 'internal spoken'?
Lines 216-218
The accountability dimension is measured through measured through the clarity of the role, performance contract, consequence management, and personal ownership

The sentence is messy!

Line 233-236
SME as a form of organization with a smaller portfolio [19] can take measurements of the health of its organizations based on 3 (three) clusters and 9 (nine) dimensions [18] with indicators adapted to the size of the portfolio and more flat organizational structure [19]. The adoption of these measurements is due to the measurements offered by Keller & Price [18] in more detail, complete, and easy to understand.
---
IMHO it would be better if bibliography entry [18] appeared first in line 207 which is devoted to the fact of basing the assessments on 3 clusters and 9 dimensions together with the reference to [19], instead.
Lines 239-240
where a series of indicators is related to the organization and internal, not the organization

IMHO this part of the sentence needs meaningful correction!
Lines 241-242
In the leadership dimension, the measurement through the types or types of leadership itself.
--?-->
In the leadership dimension, the measurement through the types or types of leadership itself is applied.
LInes 243-246
In the work culture and climate dimension, it appears to be in contact with the indicators proposed to measure cognitive social capital, but what is emphasized in this dimension is also related to the organization and internal, does not involve outsiders, as well as indicators such as openness and trust this concerns internal.

IMHO the sentence is also defective!

Do you rather mean 'a comprehensive indicator', here?

IMHO the hypothesis 2 also needs to be accompanied by a slight introduction about its reasonability. IMHO preceeding it with just a simple sentence will do with thisregard.
Line 278

resource-based views (RBV) with unique characteristics such as 4 pillars in VRIN (Value, Rarity, Inimitability, and Non-Substitution) which is interpreted as a valuable resource, rare, difficult to imitate, and cannot be replaced [7]

IMHO these are another defective sentences to be replaced!
Lines 296-297
The indicator of this dimension is that the organization has a focus on the future and the existence of gap management [16]

IMHO this is a strange language construct!
Lines 297-299
Rarity or scarcity in the VRIN model implies that the organization has a resource where competitors have difficulty accessing these resources.
--?-->
Scarcity in positive VRIN model application effects implies that the organization has a resource where competitors have difficulty accessing these resources.
Lines 303-312
This is authentic or unmabled can be seen from the causal ambiguity that was built deliberately making the core competencies cannot be imitated, because the nature and operation of the components remain invisible and blurred makes this competence complicated to be understood or imitated by other competitors [43]. Indicators of this are the existence of internal capabilities and competency development in the organization [16]. The next dimension is non-substitutability or cannot be replaced is a resource in the form of codified competencies in companies that are unique to the position, function and domain that is more important in harmony with product value chains, processes and services [44].

IMHO these sentences have a lot of errors!

IMHO hypothesis 3 should also be preceeded by a simple informative sentence about its reasonability.

The indicators offered in the initial research allow for changes to present a more precise model by eliminating some of the indicators offered when testing the causal relationship in each construct [46].

IMHO it isn't clear what changes are really meant by you with this regard!

Lines 359-366
In conducting SEM analysis, a bias test was carried out using the Harman's Single Factor method to test how much Common Method Variance is. Single Factor
Pressure Harman's test that the majority of variance can be explained by one factor. The value of a good Harman's Single Factor Test must be below 50% [47, 48]. In this study, the Harman's Single Factor test was carried out with a variance proportion of 41.9%. These results indicate that the overall item (single factor) in constructing the construct does not occur Common Method Biases which cause errors or errors in measuring and testing data. Therefore, CMB can be neglected.

IMHO these sentence have several defects that hinder a common reader in benefitting from presented material. I also suggest, therefore, to complete the above ideas with more detailed purpose description!

Round 2
Reviewer 1 Report
Recommendations for authors:
Based on reviewers' comments, the author is expected to be SERIOUS in improving the article. Several things need to be revised again, namely:
1. In the introductory section, the author does not need to display Table 1 and Table 2. The author also does not need to explain in detail the preliminary survey conducted (including the number of SMEs and the sample selection technique. In this section, the author should narratively describe the research urgency. For example, the author states, "72% of culinary and craft SMEs in Samarinda City still do not have 89 an optimal competitive advantage". Therefore, this study focuses on organizational health, and the authors have not explained the specific urgency of this topic, especially those associated with the competitive advantage of SMEs. All of the above needs to be emphasized by the authors to strengthen the background of this research.
2. In the theoretical framework section, the authors need to add the theory that underlies this research, not just explain the variables used in this study. The author does not need to explain the simultaneous test (hypothesis 3).
3. In the method section, several things need to be added:
a. The author needs to explain the reason for choosing the research location (Samarinda) and the reasons underlying the use of culinary and craft SMEs. The author must describe how to determine 283 culinary and 82 craft SMEs. Additionally, the authors need to explain the technique of recruiting SMEs (365 out of 1,084). Authors must explain whether they were chosen randomly/cluster/stratified/other methods.
b. The author must explain the data collection method, including the reasons for distributing the questionnaire online. Please convey the steps for distributing the online questionnaire and the timeframe for distributing the questionnaire.
c. The author needs to describe the names of the variables tested and the operational definitions of the variables. The author also needs to mention the number and content of research indicators. Also, explain the reference for the questionnaire used and whether the questionnaire was adopted or adapted from previous research. Mention the number of questions for each variable in the distributed questionnaire. The author needs to make 1 table describing the variable names, operational definitions of variables, the number and indicators used, and references to the questionnaire.
4. In the results and discussion section, the author needs to add the following:
a. The author needs to add the demographic characteristics of the respondents.
b. The author needs to convey descriptive statistics from the respondents' answers.
c. The author does not need to say, "null hypothesis is rejected".
d. The scientific explanation should be based on relevant theory to strengthen this study's results. Furthermore, the authors must compare this study's results with previous studies (using maximum references from the last five years).
5. In the conclusion, the writer needs to fix the following:
a. Authors must emphasize the theoretical, practical, and policy implications in separate paragraphs.
b. The author needs to explain the research's limitations (things beyond the researcher's control). Based on these limitations, the authors must provide further research suggestions.

Reviewer 4 Report
I found several tiny (mainly editorial) issues in the text of the paper.
This is why I recommend to take a closer look on the text of the paper to pick and then correct other possible issues, as well.
Here are the details with this regard:

I suggest using central dot sign instead of just the stop sign to express multiplication in the equation.
BTW names of variables which appear there are present there should be given in the same form in paper text i.e. by means of using italics instead of just a right typeface.
Line 803

Why not to get rid of it as there aren't any patents related to presented research?

This is an unnecessary contents, as well.
