Abstract
This research seeks to examine how price, product innovation, and service quality affect the competitive advantage of Hartini MSMEs in PonorogoUtilizing a quantitative method with an associative approach, this study gathers data by administering surveys to 100 respondents who are Hartini MSME consumers, using intentional sampling procedures. Data analysis was carried out by multiple linear regression using SPSS assistance, accompanied by classical assumption testing to ensure model feasibility. It was found through the analysis that all three independent variables together have a significant and positive impact on competitive advantage.
