  • To be an Entrepreneur in Creative Economics Era

    To be an Entrepreneur in Creative Economics Era

    The main differences between employee and entrepreneur is in term of time. For instance, employee will have to work for around 8-12 hours a day, their job is limited by time and has no rights to delegate task. Meanwhile, an entrepreneur can control their money and time. An employee earns a fixed payroll, if they do not work, they will not earn any salary, with a constraint on age. On the other hand, an entrepreneur can get greater earnings from their business with no age constraint. This matter is expressed by Endang Kurniawan, the alumni of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) UNS, who shared about their success story on the event of Entrepreneur & Charity with Alumni “to be an Entrepreneur in Creative Economics Era”, in Saturday October 12th, 2019.

    In the front of a hundred of students who are member of the Entrepreneurial Community of FEB UNS, Endang encourage the students to be a tough entrepreneur and does not have a “block” mentality. He mentions that “block” mentality refers to restraints on one’s memory or thoughts. Having a “bad” feeling or misgiving that prevent someone to take an action. For examples having a presumption such as “what if it is rejected”, “what if they are busy”, “what if they think my product/goods is bad”, etc. Entrepreneur should focus on the advantages they have and should be able to differentiate between business and social. Should not mixed-up both aspects, thus management can be conducted orderly.

    The important point is an entrepreneur should build a customer base to gain insight on their customer, tracking individual behaviour, establish a basic individual and organizational competency, high-skilled and multi-skilled employee, as well as establish a new scheme from Customer to Customer relationship such as in cooperation and joint competence.

  • Entrepreneur Talk Show

    Entrepreneur Talk Show

    The Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Sebelas Maret (FEB UNS) Surakarta in collaboration with the Harian Bisnis Indonesia, hosted a Talk Show in Campus: Successfully Become a Young Entrepreneur in Disruptive Era. This talk show is held in the FEB UNS Hall (3rd Building), on Tuesday, 10th October 2019. The event was opened by the Rector of UNS, Prof. Dr. Jamal Wiwoho. The speakers invited for the event are the Director of Strategic Human Capital of BTN: Yossi Istanto, Owner of Regarsport: Jumariyanto, INDEF Economist: Bhima Yudhistira, and Rector Staff Expert in Academics Affairs and Business Development UNS: Dr. Sutanto S.Si. DEA.

    In his opening remarks, the Rector of UNS, Prof.Dr. Jamal Wiwoho mentions that industrial revolution 4.0 that is happening in all countries, encourage a disruption on various fields. This can give an opportunity as well as challenge for the young generation, which also known as millennial generation. The millennial generation is quite dominant in the digital era and are expected to have an important role in dealing with the industrial revolution 4.0, which related with demographic bonus for Indonesia in 2030.

    “We are aware and admit that the technological change currently happened rapidly due to disruption. The trend on technological change has shifted, thus the digital technology has led the world ecosystem and economics. Other challenges we face are related with the availability of employment that shrink due to technology advancement,” Prof. Jamal explains. He added that approximately there are 5 million people who will lose their job due to automatization. A huge change in industrial world will have a direct impact on millennial generation existence. Because even though the generation have a high entrepreneurial spirit, the execution remains weak.

    On this digital era, it is convenient to be an entrepreneur because of technology advancement. However, the success rate of millennial business is low due to their consumptive lifestyle. Therefore, a paradigm or millennial point of view should be changed, not only working in efficient and productive manner, but also to be tough in winning competition, have a great innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship. Currently there are 130 million people in productive age who can take on new opportunities to develop business in the digital era. For instance, Gojek, Tokopedia, Bukalapak, and the most current one Ruang Guru, which predicted to be a Unicorn in Indonesia.

    With the vast development of digital business, the Indonesia government is targeting the creation of 1,000 technopreneur in 2020. “For that, I and UNS should encourage the millennial generation especially the one present here and across Indonesia, to grab the opportunity and take an active role in digital industry era,” Prof. Jamal says.

    Prof. Jamal adds that UNS should empower human talents it has to face the industrial revolution 4.0 and VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complexity, Ambiguous) era. The main key is competitive and innovative human resource. “To prove that UNS capable to innovate, we currently have a start-up as research result from junior lecturer from Engineering Faculty, namely Lithium Battery and Natural Colouring Batik (Ecody), which will be the Teaching Factory of UNS.”

    Meanwhile, the Editor in Chief of Harian Bisnis Indonesia, Hery Trianto explains that this event is not only conducted in UNS, but also in other campus. “We hope that when the students are graduated, they will not only focus on finding a job. Because they can establish a new business and employment,” Hery explain.

  • Platform Logistik Memerlukan Otomatisasi

    Platform Logistik Memerlukan Otomatisasi

    Tren pasar logistik di Indonesia perlu mendapatkan perhatian lebih terutama karena biaya logistik yang selalu mengalami peningkatan dari tahun ke tahun.

    Tren logistik di era ekonomi 4.0 memerlukan kontribusi dari dunia pendidikan seperti yang ada di universitas. Hal ini dikarenakan pendidikan merupakan salah satu dari empat hal yang penting untuk diperhatikan jika ingin mengembangkan dunia logistik, yakni: deregulasi yang lebih tepat untuk logistik di Indonesia, harmonisasi regulasi pemerintah pusat dan daerah, pembangunan infrastruktur fisik dan informasi teknologi dan Pendidikan.

    Pentingnya logistik di Indonesia terutama karena melihat fakta bahwa potensi di Indonesia belum termaksimalisasi. Saat ini, Indonesia merupakan kawasan berkembang tetapi menempati posisi ke-3 secara kekuatan ekonomi ASEAN. Indonesia juga menempati peringkat nomor 6 dalam pertumbuhan ekonomi ASEAN.

    Solo khususnya, sebenarnya juga memiliki potensi yang dapat dikembangkan karena Solo punya banyak keunggulan terutama adanya perusahaan tekstil terbesar di ASEAN.

    Pernyataan itu disampaikan Yukki Nugrahawan Hanafi, Ketua Asosiasi Logistik dan Forwarder Indonesia (ALFI) ALFI dalam Seminar Nasional The Role of Accounting in Logistic Industry, Jum’at 18 Oktober 2019 di Aula Gedung V FEB UNS.

    Menurutnya, sekarang kita telah berada di digital era sehingga diperlukan pembaharuan terkait model bisnis baru yang dapat merangkul era digital dengan internet sebagai nafas utamanya sebagai tools untuk mempermudah dunia perlogistikan.

    “Perlu dilakukan pengembangan sistem yang mumpuni untuk menyatukan dan mengkolaborasikan keempat komponen yang perlu diperhatikan dalam dunia perlogistikan tadi” katanya

    Kedepan, infrastruktur dan area fisik (physical logistic) tidak lagi menjadi komponen penting dalam dunia logistik sehingga kita perlu berubah dan berkembang mengikuti area. Platform logistik memerlukan otomatisasi sehingga dapat mempermudah kolaborasi dan efisiensi informasi dengan global network.

    Sementara itu, Prof. Drs. Hassan Fauzi, M.Ba., Ph.D., Ak, Dosen Akuntansi FEB UNS menyatakaan , selain tools untuk melakukan proses supply chain management, stakeholder di dalam entitas juga menjadi hal yang perlu diperhatikan.

    Hal ini terkait dengan sumber daya manusia yang menjadi kunci pertama pelaksanaan supply chain management yang efektif.

    Proses supply chain management tidak lagi berorientasi pada mencari laba, akan tetapi juga perlu memperhatikan kepentingan sosial dan lingkungan sebagai bentuk pertanggung jawaban sosial perusahaan.

    Narasumber lain di acara yang digelar atas kerjasama ALFI dan FEB UNS adalah Arif Prabowo, CEO PT. Pelindo III Regional Jawa Tengah.

    Di kegiatan itu, juga dilakukan Penandatangan MoU atau kerjasama antara ALFI dan FEB UNS.

  • Pengaruh Power Pemilik Hotel bagi Perkembangan Bisnis Hotel

    Pengaruh Power Pemilik Hotel bagi Perkembangan Bisnis Hotel

    Power pemilik hotel yang tinggi akan menghambat terciptanya partisipasi peran akuntan dan menghambat penggunaan akuntansi manajemen strategis. Sebaliknya, power pemilik hotel yang rendah akan mendorong peningkatan partisipasi peran akuntan dan peningkatan penggunaan akuntansi manajemen strategis perusahaan.

    Pernyataan itu disampaikan Antonius Singgih Setiawan dalam presentasi disertasinya di Ujian Terbuka Promosi Doktor pada Program Doktor Ilmu Ekonomi (PDIE) Fakultas Ekonomi dan Bisnis UNS, Kamis, 17/10/2019.

    “Peran akuntan dan penggunaan akuntansi manajemen strategis akan lebih tinggi saat perusahaan menerapkan strategi yang berorientasi prospector daripada perusahaan yang menerapkan strategi defender. Semakin tinggi peran akuntan dalam membuat keputusan strategis akan mendorong peningkatan penggunaan sistem akuntansi manajemen strategis pada hotel” jelasnya

    Disisi lain, kinerja terintegrasi sangat dipengaruhi oleh pemanfaatan dan penggunaan akuntansi manajemen strategis secara optimal. Pilihan strategi kompetitif juga menjadi faktor untuk diterapkan.

    “Pemilik hotel harus berani mendelegasikan power pengelolaan pada operator/manajemen yang ditunjuk agar operator mempunyai peluang untuk mengimplementasikan kreativitas mereka sehingga mereka mempunyai tanggung jawab yangebih untuk memberikan kinerja terbaik bagi perusahaan” papar Dosen Universitas Katolik Musi Charitas Palembang.
