Dari analisis deskriptif, diperoleh bahwa keunggulan bersaing penyelenggara telekomunikasi di Indonesia termasuk dalam kategori baik dan lebih banyak dibangun melalui efisiensi produk, terutama efisiensi yang lebih tinggi dalam menghasilkan produk atau layanan.Namun demikian, hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kecepatan respon pasar memiliki kontribusi yang lebih dominan dalam menciptakan keunggulan bersaing yang superior pada lingkungan bisnis yang bergejolak.

The study involved many leaders of business units of telecommunications operators in Indonesia as research respondents. The research uses descriptive survey and explanatory survey using Partial Least Square-Path Modeling (PLS-PM). From the descriptive analysis, it is found that the competitive advantage of telecommunications operators in Indonesia belongs to the excellent category, and was built more through product cost-efficiency, especially higher efficiency in producing products or services. However, the results of the study show that market responsiveness turned out to have a more dominant contribution in creating a superior competitive advantage in a turbulent business environment. Thus, the competitive advantage is still not optimal. To solve this problem, the telecommunications provider in Indonesia needs to increase the ability to quickly enter new markets and produce products or services at a lower cost.
