The focus of this research is how to improve the performance and competitiveness of MSMEs. Theoretically the problem of performance and competitiveness of MSMEs must examine several factors that were suspected as the cause, including internal factors such as strengths and weaknesses, external factors related to opportunities and threats. Another problem that was no less important in terms of MSME performance and competitiveness was the problem of entrepreneurial skills and business strategies. This research used survey research design, which was a research approach in an effort to obtain facts about phenomena related to the problem that becomes the object of observation by using samples and questionnaires as data collection tools. This study is included a causal explanation which aimed to explain the interrelationship of the relationship between one variable with another. This research method also aimed to make a description to produce a construct of a social phenomenon based on the relationship model derived from theoretical studies. Based on the conceptual framework and hypothetical framework, the analysis technique used was path analysis technique. Based on the recapitulation of data analysis stage I and II using SPSS version 23.0, it was known that in the framework of MSMEs improving company performance turned out that all variables were internal factors. External and entrepreneurial skills had a significant effect, where the variable entrepreneurial skills had the most dominant influence. Meanwhile, in relation to MSME building competitiveness it turned out that only the performance variable had a significant direct effect, the other variables had an indirect effect through performance. Other findings in this study were the relationship among internal, external and entrepreneurial skill variables on performance was a strong relationship (R is equal to 0.742) with a contribution (R2) of 0.557.
