The Managerial Simulation Practice (PSM) established in 2005 is motivated by the drive to change a course order that tends to be theoretical. The Undergraduate Degree in Management Study Program should be able to make their student ‘to take action’ and experience the essential affairs that a manager should deal with. This has become the essence of PSM, which can be achieved only through a direct collaboration with the practitioners from various business field.

This was conveyed by Reza Rahardian, Head of the Undergraduate Degree in Management Study Program who are also one of the Board of Directors (BOD) in the PSM, during his speech at the 2018 PSM Award. The event is held on Friday, December 14th 2018 in FEB Hall, which marks the end of PSM course followed by eight teams of 4th year students of the Undergraduate Degree in Management Study Program.
The award is given for several categories: market mapping, product development, feasibility, grand strategy, general manager, and company. The event itself is delivered through a quite interesting concept, aside from the awarding ceremony, there are various performance from the students.
This year, the PSM take a theme of music school and collaborate with Gilang Ramadhan Studio Band (GRSB) Solo, as well as presenting the famous drummer to FEB UNS to give an assessment.
In his evaluation, Reza appreciates the students who show their best effort to prepare a business plan for a music school. From the eight teams, there is a team that propose a plan that crossing the designed area, which obviously needs additional cost.
“Based on our observation, most students are less expressive. Each group has not shown their business image, uniform is generally okay, but has not shown team solidarity, the image that should be built as a real firm/company is not yet visible, and mostly they still need coercion and encouragement,” Reza explains.
During the last presentation, however, it seems like the teams already show their improvement. The general manager for each team managed to present their grand strategy in short time. The presentation amaze Gilang Ramadhan himself, who serve as one of the jury for the assessment. He also gives his appreciation to the students’ competency.

In every occasion he always provide a detailed explanation on his experience helping the study program, start from the registration through the site visit by the assessor team.

Moreover, as he explains there is a guidelines from the AUN-QA that should be followed in the SAR preparation. The SAR document consists of three parts: Introduction, SAR explanation, and SWOT. “We are required to submit the first chapter to obtain the site visit slot,” Irwan says.

To simplify the preparation process, the SAR team is preferably has a small number of member; five member is enough. This way the team will have better teamwork and the SAR document will be more solid.

During site visit, Irwan explain that the assessment in each study program is carried out by two assessors. On the first day, all 8 (eight) assessors will conduct an interview with the faculties dean. Afterward the interview with faculty member, staff, and students are conducted in a consecutively. On the second day of site visit, the assessors will interview the alumni and user, which followed with site visit to several facilities in the Faculty.

“Even though there is a translator or interpreter in the interview room, it is best to ensure that the faculty members, alumni, and students invited have a good English proficiency. Except for academic staff or user, English proficiency is not a requirement,” he explains.

Further, he also mention that during the site visit the FEB UNS empower the students as the Liaison Officer (LO). The students are not only helping the assessors but also supporting other site visit activities.

On the same occasion, Reza Rahardian the Head of Undergraduate in Management express that the site visit that took place for 3 days on May 8th to 10th is very exhausting. The FEB is appointed by the Rector to be the host for the site visit of AUN-QA for 4 (four) study programs, the undergraduate in management, biology, teknik, and civil engineering.

“For the site visit preparation, the requirements and regulation given by the AUN-QA is very detailed and strict, this includes little things such as electrical plugs, room assignment, ASEAN member flags placement, even the documentation needs to get approval from the AUN team, which also applies for banquet service also not allowed during site visit process,” Reza explains.

Reza is grateful that the site visit process is conducted smoothly and the certification will give an added-value to the study program and university, as well as the graduates. It is expected that the graduates will be able to compete in their future work place.
