DISCUSSION
The results of data processing summarized in the tables above can then be discussed to determine the effect of the independent variables on the dependent and mediating variables.

The Influence of Business Networks on Business Development
Based on the results of multiple regression tests for the t test for the Business Network variable, it is concluded that the Business Network partially has a significant effect on Business Development. The results of this study are consistent with the na through contact, experience, specialization and scale of operations, intermediaries usually offer companies more than what the company can achieve itself. According to this opinion, it can be explained that through the contact that the intermediary has, then the experience of the intermediary in marketing the product and the wide scale of the intermediary's operations, the intermediary usually provides more benefits to the company working with him than what th without assistance. from intermediaries. Jarillo (1988) in Prabatmodjo business networks are the result of decisions and efforts of entrepreneurs to increase competitiveness through cooperation with other business units. Higher business competitiveness can be achieved through business networks because business actors can specialize so that businesses are more efficient, reduce transaction costs, and increase flexibility due to the presence of trusted partn Kotler and Armstrong (2008: 39) also argue that producing a product or service and making the product or service available to buyers requires building relationships not only with customers but also with key suppliers and intermediary sellers in the co research results and explanations from several experts above, it can be argued that business networks have a major influence on the development of micro, small and medium enterprises. So, MSME players are expected to be able to foster cooperation with suppliers, financial institutions, labor and intermediaries so that their business can grow. From the recapitulation of respondents' answers, there are several things related to business networks that still need to be repaire includes the need to increase cooperation with suppliers of supporting materials and intermediaries. The wider the business network that MSMEs can build, the more their business will be developed. These results are also supported by res Business Networks, Product Innovation and Business Competition on the Development of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (Studies on Food SMEs in Kuningan District, Kuningan Regency, West Java).

Based on the results of multiple regression tests for the t test for the Business Network variable, it is concluded that the Business Network partially has a significant effect on Business Development. The results of this study are consistent with the narrative of Kotler and Armstrong (2008: 41) that through contact, experience, specialization and scale of operations, intermediaries usually offer companies more than what the company can achieve itself.

The results of this study are in accordance with the opinion expressed by Dhewan that innovation cannot be separated from business life because innovation is the spirit or soul in a company to develop, innovation can develop anywhere and be carried out by anyone, innovation cannot only done by large companies, but of their business. Based on the research results, it can be argued that product innovation has an influence on the development of MSMEs. Thus, UMKM players are expected to be able to increase product innovation so that their business can grow. Product innovation is very important because globally, the market has increasing competition. Competitors are increasingly emerging and it cannot be avoided. Even a small difference in the benefits of a product customers (Dhewanto et al., 2014: 70). Through product innovation, it is hoped that MSMEs will be able to take advantage and develop their business amidst the competition.
