ABSTRACT:

This study investigates the relationship between technology innovation, digital customer experience, and market responsiveness in Indonesia's retail industry. As the retail sector increasingly adopts omnichannel strategies, technology innovation is viewed as a critical enabler of seamless customer experiences and operational agility. This research employs a quantitative approach, utilizing Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to analyze data collected from 150 respondents. The findings reveal that Technology Innovation significantly enhances Digital Customer Experience, which, in turn, positively impacts Market Responsiveness. The study highlights the mediating role of digital customer experience in reinforcing the link between technology innovation and market responsiveness. These results underscore the importance of leveraging technological advancements to create comprehensive omnichannel ecosystems, enabling retailers to respond swiftly and effectively to evolving consumer demands. By providing empirical insights into the interplay between technology, customer experience, and responsiveness, this research contributes to the growing body of knowledge on retail innovation and omnichannel strategies in Indonesia. The findings offer practical implications for retail businesses aiming to strengthen their market position through enhanced digital engagement and adaptive market strategies.
