    Management Study Program FEB UNS Hosted an Initial Meeting for Curriculum Development Workshop

    The Management Study Program held an Initial Meeting for the Curriculum Development Workshop on Thursday, October 5, 2023. The meeting was conducted in the First Assembly Room at Soeharno TS Building, FEB UNS. The agenda, attended by Management Lecturers, is an initial activity and will be followed by Commission Meetings and Plenary Workshop Meetings. The Head of the Management Study Program, Dr. Atmaji, MM expressed his gratitude for the Study Program lecturers’ participation in the agenda.

    In his remarks, he stated that many students of the Management Study Program have participated in the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Program (MBKM). He further expressed his joy and was very proud, considering that, even though MBKM is not the main learning objective of the study program, but by participating in MBKM students can gain additional competency, while also getting additional applicable knowledge.

    Additionally, according to him, MBKM is concluded with a final assignment as a substitute for an undergraduate thesis. Further analysis shows that there is a high variation in terms of the final report format prepared by the designated coordinator from several fields. The current workshop, hopefully, can synchronize the field coordinators’ perception, thus, establishing consistent report formats and contents.

    This workshop was also hosted in the year where the Study Program had fully received international accreditation and with full international accredited status, the Management Study Program at FEB UNS had received recognition of equivalence for LAMEMBA accreditation.

    “Alhamdulillah, we should not only feel the pride of this accreditation, let’s improve our quality based on this accreditation, where the assessment points reflect our performance, for instance by conducting the Workshop on Improving Graduate Competence Through Strengthening Practice Courses, Entrepreneurship and Final Assignments,” he explained.

    Meanwhile, Dr. Joko Suyono, S.E., M.Si., as the Chairman of the workshop committee revealed the mechanism of the Curriculum Development Workshop. The stages are divided into 3, pre-workshop, Commission Meeting, and Plenary Session. The commissions consisted of the General Practice Course Commission, Concentration Practice Course Commission, Entrepreneurship Course Commission, and Final Project as Thesis Substitute Commission.

    Some of the expected outputs from this workshop are the establishment of the Semester Learning Plans and task designs for both General and Concentration Practice courses, which include the Entrepreneurship courses, publication of the Modules for General and Concentration Practice including the Entrepreneurship courses (with ISBN), establishment of the Guidelines for final MBKM project (MBKM-TA) as Thesis Substitution, including MBKM-KMM and KKN synchronization.

  • MESP Study Program Hosted Workshop, Discusses CSR and Sustainability: Measuring Social Responsibility Program With Social Return on Investment

    MESP Study Program Hosted Workshop, Discusses CSR and Sustainability: Measuring Social Responsibility Program With Social Return on Investment

    The Master of Economics and Development Studies (MESP) Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) hosted a CSR and Sustainability Workshop: Measuring Social Responsibility Program With Social Return on Investment, Friday-Saturday, 6-7 October 2023 in the Teleconference Room, Bachtiar Effendi Building FEB UNS.

    In this activity, the study program invited speakers Sarjiyanto, S.E., MBA., Ph.D., CPDS., FEB UNS Academician, Unggul Ananra, S.Tr.Sos Co-Founder and CEO of PT. Olahkarsa Inovasi Indonesia and Mr. Ridho Rinaldi, M.Tr., Sos., CSR Analyst of PT. Olahkarsa Inovasi Indonesia

    Dr. Evi Gravitiani, S.E., M.Si., Head of the MESP Study Program in her remarks expressed her gratitude to the instructors and the assistant instructors from PT. Olah Karsa Inovasi Indonesia and Sarjiyanto, MBA., for initiating the event, including several committees who helped organize the workshop.

    This workshop is motivated by Community Development and CSR as one of the Local Economic Development Programs whose Sustainability and Impact must be measured quantitatively. Dr. Evi hopes that participants can take part in the two-day agenda earnestly, to gain the utmost benefits.

    Sarjiyanto, S.E., MBA., Ph.D., in his presentation, said that in this activity participants will learn about CSR implementation practices, introduction to new concepts in business, environment-related businesses, development, and the economy.

    “Actually, there is an expansion on the concept of CSR, not only corporate social responsibility but also corporate social value. There are values that we can convey to the community,” he said.

    Sarjiyanto, Ph.D., hopes that this workshop can inspire new research topics, there are values that will underlie a concept and bring up a new science model. Hence, the two-day session brainstorming will be a provision to help students in their article writing and research related to CSR.

    The extension of the sustainability concept has been around since industries or companies are encouraged to make goods and services that will certainly create impacts, especially on the environment. The concepts underlying the implementation of CSR answer the question of how to keep the earth and the people on it stable.

    Furthermore, Sarjiyanto, Ph.D., explained in detail about community empowerment and development. He stated that sometimes there are those who are fooled by the term Community Development vs Community Empowerment.

    Community Development is more of a process of how to improve the quality of life in the community. Meanwhile, in community empowerment, the target of quality of life improvement within a community must be known.

    “Is community empowerment knowledge important? It is important because, actually, if we look from the perspective of empowerment there is such a thing as a gap because there are changes. For example, with regard to fundamental needs, every year if there is an economic shift affecting the level of needs, technological advancement also causes residuals, there are people whose technological power is advanced and some are left behind,” he explained further.

    Dr. Evi Gravitiani, S.E., M.Si., Kepala Program Studi MESP dalam sambutannya menyampaikan terimakasih kepada para instruktur dan juga para asisten instrukstur dari PT Olah Karsa Inovasi Indonesia serta Sarjiyanto, MBA yang menginisiasi acara dan juga beberapa panitia yang membantu pelaksanaan workshop.

    Workshop ini dilatarbelakangi oleh Community Development and CSR sebagai salah satu Program Pengembangan Ekonomi Lokal yang Keberlanjutannya dan Dampaknya harus diukur secara kuantitatif.

    Dr. Evi berharap peserta dapat mengikuti kegiatan yang berlangsung selama dua hari dengan kesungguhan agar dapat memberikan manfaat.

    Sarjiyanto, S.E., MBA., Ph.D dalam paparannya mengatakan bahwa di kegiatan ini peserta akan belajar bagaimana praktik-praktik penyelenggaraan CSR, dikenalkan  konsep-konsep baru di dalam bisnis, bisnis yang ada hubungannya dengan lingkungan, pembangunan dan ekonomi.

    “Sebetulnya ada perluasan konsep CSR, tidak hanya corporate social responsibility saja tapi juga corporate social value. ada value-value yang bisa kita sampaikan kepada masyarakat” ungkapnya.

    Sarjiyanto, Ph,D berharap workshop ini bisa menginspirasi topik-topik penelitian baru  ada value-value yang akan mendasari sebuah  konsep dan melahirkan sebuah model llmu baru sehingga branchstorming selama dua hari ini menjadi bekal untuk bisa membantu dalam membuat tulisan-tulisan dan penelitian-peneltian yang berkaitan dengan CSR.

    Perluasan konsep keberlanjutan sebenarnya sudah ada ketika industri atau perusahaan dipacu untuk membuat produk barang dan jasa yang tentunya akan menciptakan dampak-dampak terutama lingkungan. Konsep-konsep yang mendasari penyelenggaran CSR ini adalah bagaimana menjaga bumi planet dan orang yang ada didalamnya tetap stabil.

    Lebih lanjut Sarjiyanto, Ph,D menjelaskan secara detil terkait community empowerment dan community development.

    Dikatakan, kadang ada yang terkecoh dengan istilah Community Development VS Community Empowerment.

    Community Development lebih kepada proses bagaimana meningkatkan suatu kualitas hidup pada komunitas. Sedangkan dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat, harus mengetahui  target dari perubahan kualitas hidup sebuah komunitas.

    “Apakah ilmu pemberdayaan masyarakat itu penting? Penting karena sebetulnya jika kita melihat dalam perspektif pemberdayaan ada yang namanya gap, karena adanya perubahan-perubahan. Sebagai contoh berkaitan dengan kebutuhan yang mendasar, setiap tahun jika ada pergeseran ekonomi mempengaruhi tingkat kebutuhan, kemajuan teknologi pun menyebabkan residu-residu, ada yang masyarakat yang daya teknologinya maju dan ada yang ketinggalan” paparnya kemudian.

    25 students and alumni of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) participated in the Human Resources (HR) Competency Certification Assessment held at the Djarwanto Building, FEB UNS, on Saturday, September 30, 2023.

    This activity was organized in collaboration with FEB UNS, the Human Capital Management Indonesia Certification Institute (HCMI), the Human Capital Indonesia Forum (FHCI), and the FEB UNS Alumni Family (KAFEB).

    The certification aims to provide assurance and guarantee of a staff’s credibility in an organization, whether in the private sector, government, or state-owned enterprises.

    One of the Steering Committee members, Dila Maghrifani, S.E., B.Sc., M.Sc., who is also a lecturer at FEB UNS, explained that this HRM certification is carried out in two stages. The first stage was conducted virtually on September 23, 2023. All participants who passed the administrative level could participate in this online activity.

    “In this HR competency certification activity, those who can participate are the final-year students who are preparing for their thesis, those who are in their 7th semester, or alumni who have just graduated a maximum of 2 years ago. The aim is for students or alumni to have more competitive advantage compared to other students because they already have HR competency certification,” she explained.

    Furthermore, participants were given material related to HRM. In this activity, participants took a pre-test and post-test to filter out the top 25. Next, the top 25 participants will participate in the next assessment on September 30, 2023. Each participant was assessed for approximately 1.5 to 2 hours by LSP FHCI HCMI.

    “Participants who successfully pass the assessment stage will receive HR competency certification. The cost for activities like this usually ranges around 2 million rupiah but in this activity, for FEB students and graduates, it’s free,” she said.

    Responding to the implementation of HR Competency Certification, Dila who has expertise in marketing management, said that this activity is very positive. Hopefully, in the future, there will be other certifications that will directly benefit FEB students and alumni. In addition to graduating with very good grades, they are also equipped with competency certifications.
