  • Crowned as 2nd place Winner in the National Islamic Economic Olympiad, FEB Student Team Develops Sharia Financial Services Cooperative Innovation

    Crowned as 2nd place Winner in the National Islamic Economic Olympiad, FEB Student Team Develops Sharia Financial Services Cooperative Innovation

    A Team of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) students, won 2nd place in the National Islamic Economic Olympiad, held at Gunadarma University, 18-22 July 2023. The collaboration of three FEB students, Novita Anggun Pratiwi (S1 Management Study Program), Fathir Faiq Aqil Murtadlo (S1 Development Economics Study Program), and Fathir Fikro Al Ishlah (S1 Development Economics Study Program), led the three to achieve the victory.

    There are 50 teams from universities in Indonesia competing in the preliminary round, and 12 teams qualify for the semi-final round. Out of these teams, there are only 4 teams competing in the final round. Proposing an innovation entitled ‘Sharia Financial Services Cooperative Program Indonesia Berdaya Ukhuwah,’ derived from the three members’ idea, the team was able to attract the attention of the jury.

    The idea developed by Novita and her colleagues took a modification of the Grameen Bank that had been carried out in Bangladesh, initiated by Muhammad Yunus.

    “We are interested in highlighting the issue of poverty in Indonesia, which remains to this day. Grameen Bank is one of the concepts initiated by Muhammad Yunus in Bangladesh to alleviate poverty. Grameen Bank is only intended for women with the aim of minimizing poverty. This idea was modified by directing it to a group of peasant women in Karanganyar Regency,” explained Novita, the Leader of the FEB UNS Team in the National Islamic Economic Olympic.

    Previously, PPK Ormawa BEM FEB UNS organized a community service program at the Karanganyar Regency Farmers Women’s Group and focused on MSMEs. The idea proposed by Novita and the Team focused on a type of financing for women farmers of Karanganyar Regency, by adhering to the principles of sharia, with a system based on members’ trust. The main goal is to alleviate poverty in Karanganyar Regency.

    Later, this group of peasant women will form an association like the PKK. When the farmer group needs financing from KJKS (Sharia Financial Services Cooperative), they only need to fulfill the applicable prerequisites.

    This initiative proposed by the FEB Team, which is strengthened by presenting and supporting evidence, is considered by the jury as a good program idea and is expected to be implemented in the future.

  • Raih Juara 2 pada National Islamic Economic Olympiad, Tim Mahasiswa FEB Kembangkan Inovasi Koperasi Jasa Keuangan Syariah

    Raih Juara 2 pada National Islamic Economic Olympiad, Tim Mahasiswa FEB Kembangkan Inovasi Koperasi Jasa Keuangan Syariah

    Tim Mahasiswa Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis (FEB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) berhasil meraih juara 2 pada  National Islamic Economic Olympiad yang digelar di Universitas Gunadarma, 18 – 22 Juli 2023.

    Kerja sama tiga mahasiswa FEB yakni Novita Anggun Pratiwi (Prodi S1 Manajemen), Fathir Faiq Aqil Murtadlo (Prodi S1 Ekonomi Pembangunan) dan Fathir Fikro Al Ishlah (Prodi S1 Ekonomi Pembangunan) menghantarkan ketiganya meraih kemenangan itu.

    Pada babak penyisihan, kompetisi diikuti oleh 50 tim dari perguruan tinggi se-Indonesia, babak semi final diikuti oleh 12 tim dan babak final diikuti oleh 4 tim.

    Inovasi bertemakan Koperasi Jasa Keuangan Syariah Program Indonesia Berdaya Ukhuwah yang menjadi gagasan ketiganya mampu menarik perhatian juri.

    Gagasan yang dikembangkan Novita dan rekan-rekannya yakni koperasi modifikasi pola Grameen Bank yang pernah dilakukan di Bangladesh dan diinisiasi oleh Muhammad Yunus.

    “Kami tertarik untuk menyoroti isu kemiskinan di Indonesia yang sampai saat ini masih terjadi. Grameen Bank menjadi salah satu cara yang dulu pernah dilakukan oleh Muhammad Yunus di Bangladesh untuk mengentaskan kemiskinan. Grameen Bank ini hanya dikhususkan untuk perempuan dengan tujuan meminimalisir angka kemiskinan. Ide ini akhirnya dimodifikasi dengan mengarahkannya kepada kelompok wanita tani yang ada di Kabupaten Karanganyar” jelas Novita yang merupakan Ketua Tim FEB UNS dalam National Islamic Economic Olympic.

    Sebelumnya, PPK Ormawa BEM FEB UNS sudah menjalankan program pengabdian masyarakat pada Kelompok Wanita Tani Kabupaten Karanganyar dan berfokus pada UMKM. Gagasan Novita dan Tim mengarah pada jenis pembiayaan kelompok wanita tani Kabupaten Karanganyar yang tetap memperhatikan prinsip-prinsip syariah, dengan sistem kepercayaan. Tujuan utamanya yaitu mengentaskan kemiskinan di Kabupaten Karanganyar.

    Nantinya, kelompok wanita tani ini akan membentuk suatu himpunan semacam PKK. Pada saat kelompok tani tersebut membutuhkan pembiayaan dari KJKS (Koperasi Jasa Keuangan Syariah), mereka tinggal memenuhi prasyarat yang berlaku.

    Gagasan Novita dan Tim yang diperkuat dengan cara mempresentasikan serta bukti-bukti pendukung materi dinilai oleh juri sebagai ide program yang bagus dan diharapkan ke depannya mampu diimplementasikan.

    Operations and Strategic Management RG in Collaboration with KADIN Surakarta Hosted MSME Assistance FGD

    Operations and Strategic Management Research Group (RG), Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) hosted a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) for MSME Assistance at Mangesthi Boutique Hotel Solo, Wednesday 26 July 2023. The event was attended by the Executive Director of KADIN Surakarta, MSME partners of KADIN, RG Team, and FEB UNS students.

    Chairman of the Operations Management RG, Prof. Wisnu Untoro, MS., said that this FGD was the final series of MSMEs assistance in collaboration with KADIN Surakarta by involving internship students from FEB.

    Prof. Wisnu expressed his gratitude to KADIN Surakarta for collaborating with Operations Management RG FEB UNS, hoping that this kind of collaboration can go on sustainably. Based on this collaboration, students and MSMEs get many benefits.

    “We hope that after this internship, students can share the experience with their colleagues that this activity is useful and also students can be proud to contribute to certain MSMEs,” he said.

    Executive Director of KADIN Surakarta, M. David R. Wijaya, S.E., also welcomed Prof. Wisnu’s remarks on the sustainability of this collaboration.

    Synergy and collaboration between the business world, academics, and city governments, especially in the development of MSMEs and also developing human resources, thus better preparing them for the future to face global competition.

    “With this cooperation, there are many things that can be obtained from students. They can learn a lot about applied business activities through MSMEs. On the other hand, we hope that MSME can also be helped by the presence of internship students. Today’s era, generation Z understands more about the digital world, knows more about how online marketing, about marketplaces, social media, and so on,” he explained.

    It is said that this internship at KADIN is not solely to work at the KADIN office, but encourages how these students get knowledge from MSMEs, allowing them to experience applied business in the MSME sector. Students have received many theories, financial management, and other knowledge on campus, thus, they need to hone their skills by looking at business actors.

    Why choose MSMEs as a place for internship activity? According to him, MSMEs have a lot of knowledge, ranging from how they build their businesses, how to prepare their human resources, how to record the cash receipt and disbursement, how to manage their production, marketing the product to stay exist to this day and survive, all of these are often done by the business owner.

    After the opening remark, the next activity was the material presentation regarding community service from the RG team, by Drs. Yong Dirgiatmo, M.Sc., Ph.D., and Dr. Hidajat Hendarsjah, MM., who conveyed about the development of MSME products.

    The agenda went on with an FGD on the Internship Program for MSME Mentoring, which included the presentation of the internship implementation report and discussion. The agenda was concluded with the submission of the assessment form as well as the withdrawal of intern students.

  • Gatrik Goes to Campus (GGTC) 2023, Get Closer to Electricity Rates and Subsidies

    Gatrik Goes to Campus (GGTC) 2023, Get Closer to Electricity Rates and Subsidies

    Gatrik Goes to Campus 2023 under the theme “Getting to Know More About Electricity Tariffs and Subsidies,” was organized by the Directorate General of Electricity (Gatrik) of the Ministry of EMR in collaboration with the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) and the Student Executive Board (BEM) of FEB, Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), July 24, 2023 at the Konimex Building Hall, Bachtiar Effendi Building 3rd Floor.

    Bhimo Rizky Samudro, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., Head of the S1 Development Economics Study Program, on behalf of the Dean of FEB, welcomed the GGTC activities whose targets were students at UNS. Hopefully, public awareness of electricity can be improved along with this activity and material from the three speakers, as well as it can bring additional insights for students, for example by saving on electricity consumption.

    Ida Nuryatin Finahari, Secretary of the Director General of Gatrik, said that the current activity in FEB UNS was the first event involving the Director General of Gatrik. “This agenda is organized because we see that in everyday life, electricity is crucial for the community. However, not everyone understands how electricity tariffs and subsidies are arranged. Why students? We believe we are at the right place. We have never conveyed this detail to students before. That is why we are introducing electricity tariffs and subsidies to students in collaboration with FEB UNS,” she explained.

    Furthermore, it is said that there are approximately 83 million electricity customers, almost half of which get subsidies. There are 38 types of customers. Out of the 38 customers type, 25 customers are still subsidized and 13 are not. But every 3 months there is a tariff adjustment and if Gatrik does not adjust the tariff, then the government will provide compensation. Both subsidies and compensation are a burden on the government finance.

    In terms of policy, the Young Policy Analyst of the Directorate General of Electricity, Syariffudin Ahmad said that the electricity subsidy policy for fiscal year of 2023 aims to provide targeted electricity subsidies with harmonized economic recovery and community purchasing power; to ensure that electricity subsidies for households are given in a targeted manner for poor and vulnerable households; and to encourage the development of more efficient new renewable energy.

    The Tariff adjustment policy is determined by the Board of Directors of PT PLN (Persero) after obtaining the approval of the Minister. Tariff Adjustment itself is applied to non-subsidized customers every three months due to several uncontrollable factors (exchange rate, inflation, ICP, and coal prices). Tariff Adjustment is a national-scale policy, a crucial, strategic, and has a broad impact on the community, thus in its own discussion, it is carried out at the Plenary Cabinet Session or Limited Meeting.

    On the other hand, Moh. Arief Mudhari explained about Electricity Subsidies and Rates. Electricity subsidy is a form of assistance from the government for the general public to be able to pay electricity rates cheaper than their economic condition. Subsidized PLN customers are categorized into 25 groups, which are 45.25% of total customers, while compensated non-subsidized customers are categorized into 13 groups or 54.75% of total customers.

    Electricity tariffs consist of 38 groups and are divided into two groups, namely: subsidies and non-subsidies. Subsidized rates are designated for 25 tariff groups that include subsidized small household customers (450 VA and 900 VA) as well as all small and medium S, B, I, P, Traction, and Bulk customers. Meanwhile, non-subsidized tariffs are designated for 13 tariff groups including ‘R MAMPU’, ‘B’ medium/large, ‘I’ medium to high, and ‘P’ medium/large customers, street lighting, and special services.

    Meanwhile, FEB UNS Lecturer from Development Economics Study Program, Hery Sulistio Jati N S, SE., MSE., emphasized the need for the right momentum in determining the increase in TDL (Base Electricity Rate). That is by considering when the short-term and long-term are more optimistic.

    Furthermore, the electricity subsidy structure needs to be built with a more progressive formula to ensure that the electric energy trilemma does not progress any further. This aims to ensure that the electric energy trilemma does not become an impossible issue at the macroeconomics level with high costs when Indonesia had optimized most aspects back in 1998.

  • Gatrik Goes to Campus (GGTC) 2023, Mengenal Lebih Dekat Tarif dan Subsidi Listrik

    Gatrik Goes to Campus (GGTC) 2023, Mengenal Lebih Dekat Tarif dan Subsidi Listrik

    Gatrik Goes to Campus 2023 dengan tema “Mengenal Lebih Dekat Tarif dan Subsidi Listrik”  diselenggarakan oleh Direktorat Jenderal Ketenagalistrikan (Gatrik) Kementerian ESDM berkolaborasi dengan Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis (FEB) serta Badan Eksekutif Mahasiswa (BEM) FEB Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS), 24 Juli 2023 di Aula Gedung Konimex, Gedung Bachtiar Effendi Lantai 3.

    Bhimo Rizky Samudro, S.E., M.Si,. Ph.D, Kepala Program Studi S1 Ekonomi Pembangunan mewakili Dekan FEB menyambut baik kegiatan GGTC yang sasarannya adalah mahasiswa di UNS.

    Harapannya, dengan kegiatan ini dan dari paparan ketiga narasumber, awareness masyarakat terhadap listrik juga semakin baik, tambahan wawasan bagi mahasiswa misalnya dengan hemat dalam pemakaian listrik.

    Ida Nuryatin Finahari, Sekretaris Dirjen Gatrik mengatakan Kegiatan di FEB ini merupakan pengalaman pertama dari Dirjen Gatrik.

    “Kegiatan ini diadakan karena kami memandang dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, listrik merupakan hal yang sangat penting bagi masyarakat. Tidak semua orang memahami bagaimana pengaturan tarif dan subsidi listrik. Dan kenapa mahasiswa, karena kami ini adalah tempat yang tepat. Kita belum pernah menyampaikan secara sedetil ini kepada mahasiswa. Itulah kenapa kami memperkenalkan tarif dan subsidi listrik kepada mahasiswa bekerja sama dengan FEB UNS” jelasnya.

    Lebih lanjut dikatakan pelanggan listrik ada 83-an juta, hampir separuhnya mendapat subsidi. Terdapat 38  jenis pelanggan. Dari 38 jenis pelanggan tersebut, 25 pelanggan masih disubsidi dan 13 lainnya tidak. Tetapi setiap 3 bulan ada penyesusaian tarif dan jika dari Gatrik tidak menyesuaikan tarif, maka pemerintah akan memberikan kompensasi. Dua-duanya, subsidi dan kompensasi menjadi beban pemerintah.

    Dari sisi kebijakan,  Analis Kebijakan Muda Ditjen Ketenagalistrikan, Syariffudin Ahmad mengatakan Kebijakan subsidi listrik tahun anggaran 2023 yakni memberikan subsidi listrik tepat sasaran dengan diselaraskan pemulihan ekonomi dan daya beli masyarakat, subsidi listrik untuk rumah tangga diberikan secara tepat sasaran bagi rumah tangga miskin dan rentan; dan mendorong pengembangan energi baru terbarukan yang lebih efisien.

    Kebijakan Tariff adjustment ditetapkan oleh Direksi PT PLN (Persero) setelah mendapatkan persetujuan Menteri. Tariff Adjusment sendiri diterapkan terhadap golongan pelanggan non subsidi setiap tiga bulan karena beberapa faktor yang bersifat uncomfortable (kurs, inflasi, ICP dan harga batu bara). Tariff Adjusment merupakan  kebijakan berskala nasional, penting, strategis dan berdampak luas kepada masyarakat sehingga dalam pembahasannya sendiri dilaksanakan  pada Sidang Kabinet Paripurna atau Rapat Terbatas.

    Disisi lain,  Moh. Arief Mudhari menjelaskan tentang Subsidi dan Tarif Listrik.  Subsidi listrik adalah bentuk bantuan dari pemerintah untuk masyarakat agar bisa membayar tarif listrik lebih murah dari tarif kehidupan ekonominya. Pelanggan PLN penerima subsidi terdiri dar 25 golongan atau 45,25% dari  total pelanggan, sementara untuk pelanggan non subsidi yang dikompensasi terdiri dari 13 golongan atau 54,75% dari total pelanggan.

    Tarif listrik terdiri dari 38 golongan dan dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, yakni: subsidi dan non subsidi. Tarif subsidi diterima oleh 25 golongan tarif yang meliputi pelanggan rumah tangga kecil (450 VA dan 900 VA) bersubsidi serta semua pelanggan S, B kecil, I kecil dan sedang, P kecil, Traksi dan Curah. Sedangkan tarif non subsidi diterima oleh 13 golongan tarif yang meliputi pelanggan R mampu, B menengah/besar dan I menegah ke atas, P  menengah/besar. Lampu penerangan jalan dan layanan khusus.

    Sementara itu,  Dosen Ilmu Ekonomi FEB UNS, Hery Sulistio Jati N S, SE, MSE menegaskan perlu momen tepat dalam menentukan kenaikan TDL, yaitu saat jangka pendek dan jangka panjang yang lebih optimis.

    Lebih lanjut, struktur subsidi listrik perlu dibangun dengan formula yang lebih progresif guna memastikan trilemma energi listrik tidak menjadi progresif guna memastikan trilemma energi listrik tidak menjadi impossible trinity dalam makroekonomi dengna biaya yang tinggi ketika Indonesia mengoptimalkan semuanya di tahun 1998.

  • Social Entrepreneurship, A New Step Toward Sustainable Business

    Social Entrepreneurship, A New Step Toward Sustainable Business

    Seeing the potential of achieving business growth beyond profit and including social impact through social entrepreneurship, the Bachelor in Management (S1) Study Program (MSP FEB UNS) hosted a Guest Lecture entitled “Beyond Profit: Igniting Social Impact Through Entrepreneurship.”

    Presenting Pritha O. Aritonang, Project Coordinator at the Platform Usaha Sosial (PLUS), the guest lecture session held on Tuesday (11/07/2023) was virtually attended by more than 100 participants consisting of students and lecturers of the Management Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS).

    Opening the guest lecture session, Dr. Atmaji, MM., Head of the Management Study Program, delivered an opening remark as well as officially started this guest lectures session. Through his speech, Dr. Atmaji expressed his gratitude and wishes, especially to Mrs. Pritha who has been willing to take her precious time for delivering some insights, at the same time hoping that the material will enlighten PSM FEB UNS students on the current condition of social entrepreneurship.

    “Currently, PSM always hosted face-to-face lecture sessions with guest lecturers. This aims to allow students to get knowledge from lecturers and practitioners or other academics who can provide a wider discourse for the material being studied. Thank you to all the participants, students and lecturers. I hope that students can follow the event carefully in order to reap the greatest benefits. Hopefully, this morning’s event can be held seamlessly and provide maximum benefits for students,” hoped Dr. Atmaji.

    Starting the presentation on Social Entrepreneurship (SE), Pritha said that there are fundamental differences between ordinary businesses, non-profit organizations or NGOs, and SE. “In non-profit organizations, there are no material benefits, while SE is focused between financial benefits and social impacts. The potential for social enterprises to be sustainable is greater than NGOs since it can generate its own income and not be dependent on grants,” Pritha explained.

    Social entrepreneurship itself can be defined as a movement that aims to make social change in the community, through responsible business practices that create a sustainable impact. Thus, the purpose of the said business is not only to generate profits but also to make a positive impact. According to her, the focus of SE triggers managers to grow the unique value to be offered to consumers. “Social enterprises can also focus on their own business income and are not dependent on grants. This is what makes social enterprises more sustainable,” she added.

    Sharing her experience as a part of the ecosystem, Pritha also explained three types of Social Entrepreneurship seen by its beneficiaries, including embedded models, integrated models, and separated models. In order to determine whether a business qualifies as a Social Enterprise, there are five steps that can be followed. The first step involves understanding the activities of the business. The second step requires identifying the consumers and target audience of the business. The third step involves recognizing any issues faced by the organization. The fourth step necessitates determining the sources of revenue for the business. The final step involves comprehending the objectives of any changes that the organization or business seeks to implement.

    In Indonesia, there is an increasing trend in the number of social businesses with the number of businesses established reaching almost more than 100 businesses in 2017. The majority of these businesses are engaged in the field of creative industries, followed by the agricultural and fisheries sectors, as well as education. However, according to data presented by Pritha, the distribution of social business is still centralized on Java. Where the majority of social entrepreneurs (47%) stated that the most frequent challenge faced was the lack of capital. In addition, they also stated that there are still difficulties in accessing funding sources and difficulties in improving managerial skills.

    During the guest lecture, several participants appeared eager to engage in direct discussions with the speakers. A few students even mentioned their attempts at establishing a social business and sought guidance and recommendations from Mrs. Pritha, the Project Coordinator on the Platform Bisnis Sosial.
