ABSTRACT
Embroidery in Kudus has a potential to export. Based on these, the purpose
of this study was to identify and analyze the readiness of SMEs Kudus
embroidery to export their product. The methods of collecting the data were
questionnaire, Documentation, and Library Studies. Questionnaires were
distributed to 45 SMEs embroidery sector as respondents. The study method
uses multiple linier regression analysis.
The multiple linier regression result shows that Y = 0.456 + 0.315X1
+ 0.216 X2 + 0.036X3 + 0.904X4 + 0.193X5
+ 0.082X6. It means that result of regression
gives a positive influence on the export readiness. The coefficient of
determination is 0.681 or 68.1%. It means that product, production, marketing, human
resource, finance/export cost, and export procedure provide positive contribution
to export readiness of 68.1% and 31.9% were influenced by others variables that
were not examined in this study.

INTRODUCTION
Background of Study
The export market has always been the goal and desire of all
small and medium enterprises, certainly not only the domestic market, but also
the enterprise will perform a variety of ways to be able to expand the
marketing of their products. Kudus regency is known as the city of cigarette
(kretek) producer, the largest in Central Java but actually there are also many
other industries that stand in Kudus, one of them is in embroidery sector. Since
early 1970s embroidery has been growing rapidly and becoming a prospective
business, their major markets are upper middle class people. Kudus regency is a
home for some well-known centers of embroidery crafts. Embroidery production in
Kudus units are scattered in various districts, namely: Kecamatan Kota, Jati,
Undaan, Kaliwungu, Bae, Mejobo, Jekulo, Dawe, and Gebog.
Moreover, as the technology characterized by the use of
electric-powered embroidery machine develops, the number of embroidery styles
increases. It has had a positive impact on the responses of the consumers,
making the business more popular. The potential to develop this business is
very large.
The Government encourages SMEs to grow sustainably so it can
absorb the workforce. Based on data from the Department of Industry,
Cooperatives and SMEs Kudus, it can be seen that business competition is
increasing from year to year. In addition the company also must have sufficient
resources. Both capital resources and human resources, these resources must be
able to be managed well by the company effectively and efficiently to achieve
company’s objective.
One of the centers of embroidery in Kudus now also designated
as a tourist embroidery village, Gebog.

small industry and homemade handicraft Padurenan was widely available in the
village. It has a total of 77 small industrial units that absorb of 599 people
labor force. Under these conditions, so Padurenan village is suitable for investment.
The existence of small embroidery and garment industry may help to reduce the
number of unemployment in the village of Sub district Padurenan Gebog. It is
because the labor demand is high.
SMEs in Indonesia are very substantial for the country
development. This sector has contributed 57.12 % to the Gross Domestic Product
(GDP). According to Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, the number of SMEs in
Indonesia has reached 55.2 million units, or 99.98 % of the total Indonesian
business unit (2015). In fact, this sector has absorbed 101.72 million workers
or 97.3 percent of the total Indonesian workforce. The enterprises provide an important opportunity
in order to escape from poverty and have a better life.

simultaneously influence on the dependent variable.
LITERATURE REVIEW
Based on Law
No. 20 of 2008 about Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises. Here is an excerpt
from the contents of Law 20/2008 “Small businesses are productive economic
activities that stand alone, which is done by the individual or business entity
that is not a subsidiary or branch of a company not owned, controlled, or be a
part either directly or indirectly, of a medium or large businesses that meet
the criteria of Business small as referred to in this Act.
Medium
businesses are productive economic activities that stand alone, done by the
individual or business entity that is not a subsidiary or branch company owned,
controlled, or be a part either directly or indirectly by the Small Business or
large enterprise with total net assets or the annual sales revenue as
stipulated in this Law.”
According to the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) provides a
definition of SMEs “based on the quantity of labor, for small businesses have a
workforce of five to 19 people, while medium-sized businesses have a workforce
of 20 up to 99 people.”
On July 4, 2008 stipulated Law No. 20 of 2008 in Micro, Small
and Medium Enterprises, the MSME definition given by the Law is also in
contrast to the above definition. According to Law No. 20 of 2008, which is
called Micro business is that has a net asset of at most Rp50.000.000,00 (fifty
million rupiah) excluding land and buildings or having annual sales of
Rp300.000.000,00 (three hundred million rupiah). Then the small business is an
entity that has the following criteria:
a.
The net asset of more than
Rp50.000.000,00 (fifty million rupiah) up to at most 500.000.000,00 (five
hundred million rupiah) excluding land and buildings.
b.
It has an annual sales turnover of
more than Rp300.000.000,00 (three hundred million rupiah) up to at most
Rp2.500.000.000,00 (two billion, five hundred million rupiah).
Meanwhile, the Medium Enterprises is a business entity that has the
following criteria:
a.
The net asset of more than
Rp500.000.000,00 (five hundred million rupiah) up to at most
Rp10,000,000,000.00 (ten billion rupiah ) excluding land and buildings.
b.
It has an annual sales turnover of
more than Rp2.500.000.000,00 (two billion five hundred million rupiah) up to at
most Rp50.000.000.000,00 (fifty billion rupiah).

The VIF of independents variable in the research were 2,527;
3594; 2,146; 2,021; 2,090; 1,446. Based on the result, it can be said that
there was no multicollinearity between independent variable in the model. It
was because the VIF < 10.
Autocorrelation Test
In the model the Durbin – Watson test is used to test the autocorrelation.

Based on the calculation of the equation is known that:
k = 6; n = 45
dU = 1,835; dL = 1.238; 4 - dU = 2,165
dU <DW <4 - dU
1,835 <1,940 <2,165
It can be concluded that there is no autocorrelation in the
equation.
Multiple Regression Analysis
In this study, if there are dependent variable that influence
the independent variable, thus is used Multiple regression analysis. This is
used to determine the effect of the product (X1), production (X2), marketing
(X3), human resources (X4), financial / export costs (X5), export procedures
(X6) to the export readiness of Kudus Embroidery (Y).

CONCLUSION
Based on the research that has been
conducted in small medium enterprise embroidery sector in Kudus Regency, there
are some points that can be concluded.
1.
The readiness of Kudus embroidery
enterprise to export, based on the analysis there are 2 variable which
negatively influence on export readiness namely marketing and export procedure
and there are 4 variable namely product, production, human resource, and
finance/export cost which have positive influence.
Based on the t test (partial test) of
product showed that tcount > ttable (2.105 > 1.686)
with significance of 0.042. Therefore, it can be concluded that product
significantly and positively influence on export readiness. About production
showed that tcount > ttable (1.823 > 1.686) with
significance of 0.013. Therefore, it can be concluded that production
significantly and positively influence on export readiness.About marketing
showed that tcount < ttable (0.495 < 1.686) with
significance of 0.623. Therefore, it can be concluded that marketing
significantly and negatively influence on export readiness. About Human
Resources (HR) showed that tcount > ttable (6.487 >
1.686) with significance of 0.000. Therefore, it can be concluded that Human
Resources (HR) significantly and positively influence on export readiness.
About financial / Export Costs showed that tcount > ttable (1.750
> 1.686) with significance of 0.038. Therefore, it can be concluded that the
financial / Export Costs significantly and positively influence on export
