This study aims to test the Entrepreneurial Performance model. The research was conducted on SMEs in West Java, in the city of Bandung. The sample selection was determined using the purposive sampling method and obtained 170 respondents as a sample. The analysis was carried out using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results of the study indicate the fit model after modification and produce an alternative model in the form of a correlation between Marketing Intelligence and Entrepreneurial Performance. Marketing Intelligence, Product Innovation and Competitive Advantage have a direct significant influence on Entrepreneurial Performance. Product Innovation partially has no significant effect on Competitive Advantage. This research is expected to contribute to SMEs in the city of Bandung to always have a good knowledge before making a decision. This knowledge includes an understanding of trends, media, competitors, and suppliers. The limitation in this study is also in its scope, which is only limited to a few SMEs in the city of Bandung. It is expected that future researchers will add samples and use other variables that can improve entrepreneurial performance.

This study aims to determine the effect of six-factor (market return, firm size, value, profitability, investment, human capital) on excess return in companies with shares listed in LQ45 for the 2015-2019 period. The population of this study consists of 45 LQ45 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The purposive sampling method is the sample selection method that is used in this study. As a result, it shows that there are 26 companies that fit the criteria and taken as samples. Furthermore, the data analysis method that is used in this study is the panel data regression model. Based on the results of this study, it is showed that partially, market return (X1), firm size (X2), profitability (X4), and investment (X5) have a significant positive effect on the excess return of companies listed in LQ45 for the 2015-2019 period. Whereas, value (X3) and human capital (X6) do not have a significant effect on the excess return of companies listed in LQ45 for the 2015-2019 period partially. Another result also shows that simultaneously or as a whole, six-factors (market return, firm size, value, profitability, investment, human capital) have a significant effect on the excess return of companies listed in LQ45 for the 2015-2019 period.
