Abstract
En 中文
<jats:p>
Research on values underpinning relationships and practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is well-established. However, a gap remains in understanding how indigenous and entrepreneurial values coexist and affect collective women weaver communities and entrepreneurial practices in Indonesia, where these value tensions are visibly manifested in traditional textile motifs and weaving methods. Using an ethnographic approach, this study applies values theory to explore tensions and value dynamics within women weaver communities and entrepreneurs in West Timor and Bali. The research identifies key dichotomies of values and asymmetries in bargaining power across three relationship types:
<jats:italic>Suci</jats:italic>
(Sacred),
<jats:italic>Tasi Feto-Tasi Mane</jats:italic>
(Traditional), and
<jats:italic>Rwa Bhineda</jats:italic>
(Coexistence of Opposites). These relationship types constitute a distinct typology of dynamic engagements within these communities, demonstrating how dichotomies of values and asymmetries in bargaining power generate both collaborative opportunities and conflicts. Additionally, the study introduces the Weaving Dance Engagement Model, which captures the intricate value dynamics and tensions inherent in these relationships. We contribute to interdisciplinary research by offering both a new typology and theoretical model that generate insights for theory and practice regarding the transformation needed to sustain local textile weaving ecosystems.
