Key Points

This research investigates the effects of multi-entity ownership in small businesses within Indonesia, focusing on structural dynamics.
Analyzed a single-case study of a practitioner owning three separate PT entities
Examined dynamics related to regulatory complexity and cognitive load
Evaluated cross-entity resilience through purchasing mechanisms
Identified a cost function related to regulatory complexity and sectoral incompatibility
Found an inverse relationship between cognitive load and revenue contribution
Highlighted the emergence of resilience via purchasing proxy mechanisms to address credit gaps

Abstract

This paper examines multi-entity ownership by a single practitioner in Indonesia through a systems thinking lens. Using a single-case study of a practitioner operating three legally separate PT entities across wholesale industrial equipment, engineering services, and handmade manufacturing, the paper identifies three structural dynamics: (1) a regulatory complexity cost function driven by KBLI sectoral incompatibility and OSS-RBA risk-based licensing, (2) an inverse correlation between revenue contribution and cognitive load, and (3) emergent cross-entity resilience through purchasing proxy mechanisms that fill institutional credit voids.
