Abstract

This study examines an interdisciplinary model linking visual communication design (DKV), business communication, marketing capability, and financial performance among micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs/UMKM) in Bekasi City, Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory design was applied using questionnaire data from 120 MSME respondents measured on a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed in two stages: descriptive, reliability, and regression testing using SPSS, and measurement-model and structural-model evaluation using SmartPLS. SPSS results show high mean scores for marketing (M = 3.890), finance (M = 3.850), DKV (M = 3.815), and communication (M = 3.848), with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.776 to 0.807. SmartPLS results indicate adequate convergent validity, with outer loadings above 0.785, AVE values from 0.679 to 0.736, and composite reliability values from 0.894 to 0.918.
