Abstract

Cibaduyut leather shoe center is the idol of domestic tourists when visiting Bandung. The influx of shoes made in China and the Covid-19 pandemic over the past two years have resulted in the shoe industry experiencing a significant decline in sales. Sales of shoes were almost zero because shoes were a secondary necessity, and restrictions on people’s movement resulted in a drastic decrease in demand for shoes. This research aims to get solutions to survive in crisis and take advantage of every opportunity for micro-enterprises in Cibaduyut Shoes Center, Bandung. The research method used is descriptive qualitative; data collection is carried out through surveys, interviews, and observations of shoe entrepreneurs in Cibaduyut. The results showed that many companies should need to be closed, because the income was not feasible, while fixed costs could not be reduced. Companies can only survive by relying on sales of available products, production stops, difficulties, increases in raw material prices, uncertain labor costs, manual production with existing machines, the substitution of leather material with imitations, innovation stops, and online marketing not be done. The conclusions showed that companies could reduce fixed costs and take advantage of small opportunities.
