Indonesia will conduct Redenomination

2010-08-03T20:34:00.000-07:00

JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia (BI) asserted that Indonesia had never done before redenomination. It's never been done in Indonesia in 1966.

"We've never done redenomination 1966. But the current environment is high inflation, so that his luck failed," said BI Deputy Governor Budi Rochadi after Press Conference Press Room BI Redenomination in Jakarta, Tuesday (03/07/2010).

At that BI did redenomination by simplifying the amount of Rp1.000 to Rp1. However, when inflation was high, so that when it fails redenomination policy.

In 1966, BI is also well done snaring. I.e. cutting money in an unhealthy condition of the economy, where the cut is only the value of money.

"So that Indonesia had done only once and only once redenomination snaring. Currently, we are proposing discourse redenomination again because inflation was under control," he added.

However, continued Budi, because this policy decision is a political policy of the regulators can not propose this policy alone.

The draft plan will be proposed this discourse of BI in this month to the president. If smooth, then design will be submitted to Parliament.

The design included a large number of zeros simplification which will be deducted.

Actually, this has been done redenomination discourse BI since 5-6 years ago. However, continued Budi, this discourse was intensively discussed the new back in the last two years.

"In any case (this redenomination discourse again) not to fail," he asserted.

However, it also can not do anything because of this policy involves a political decision earlier. BI, continued Budi, can only put forward the idea, surveys or observations based on what has been done in other countries. If this decision is rejected, then this plan would disappear just like that. - via -

Ocean Business Returns Again In 2009

Exhibition space nearly sold out - only 9 stands remaining!

The ocean technology industry can celebrate once more as there is an event that successfully combines business with a full series of social networking opportunities. The inaugural event from the 27th to the 29th March 2007, attracted more than 1500 colleagues from 36 countries who descended on the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, UK.

Ocean Business has a winning formula of combining the traditional static exhibition stand with the opportunity for delegates to attend over 150+ hours of training and demonstration workshops providing first hand knowledge of the equipment and systems on the market.

An event that brings senior buyers and decision makers together with the actual users who are out in the field operating the equipment and services

Combine this with the ever important networking side of the event, that keeps delegates and exhibitors together throughout the week, and it is clear to see how Ocean Business has already firmly established itself in the international
ocean technology calendar.

Plans are already underway for Ocean Business 2009 which will take place at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton from 31st March – 2nd April 2009.

BELOW BREAKEVEN

2008-12-21T21:00:00.000-08:00

He quotes the managing director of a $2 billion-plus retail group: 'Even a 10% loss in consumers visiting our stores would be a worry. For many of our outlets, that would push us below breakeven'. The author's consultancy, CSC Kalchas, reckons from its own research that 'average retailer margins will be eliminated by a 15-20% reduction in consumer traffic through their stores'. Against this dynamic background, M&S is conducting a leisurely 18-month strategy review. In that time, usage of the World Wide Web, doubling every 100 days, will have multiplied over 30 times.

The IBC seminar mentioned above heard about many aspects of the only policy that can work in such circumstances: transformation. In starting that process, don't think about 18 months. A former chairman of ICI once told me confidently that 'you can't turn around a large company like this every 18 months'. He would not have recognised today's landscape in which, according to Alan Stevens, managing director of EDS in the UK, the time between corporate restructurings has generally halved - to 18 months.

ICI itself has in recent years disposed of its best business (the aforementioned Zeneca), shifted its entire focus from commodity chemicals to specialisms - and yet has still failed to crack its strategic growth problems. As Stevens went on to observe, you can't grow dynamically on the wrong structure. Just as information technology has progressed from high centralisation (the mainframe) to distributed processing (the mini-computer) to total decentralisation (the PC and the Internet), so freeing up corporate structures along the same route offers the same benefits in speed, responsiveness and flexibility.

In this process, the first 18 weeks are much more important than the first 18 months. A third of a year is quite long enough to prove that anything which requires changing will be changed, that no cows are sacred any more, and that the new technology will be embraced until it permeates every process in the business - from people management to customer satisfaction (two sides of the same coin), from 'knowledge management' to achieving radical and continuous change.

The precondition of successful transformation, as Terry Neill of Andersen Consulting told the IBC seminar, is to close the gap between management's perception of present reality and the truth. My own consultancy work in financial services shows how wide this gap can become. The large and rich companies concerned spend heavily on advertising and new products, and are convinced that they have established meaningful distinctions between themselves and their competitors. The reality is that the market can't tell them apart.

The featured speaker at the seminar, Gary Hamel, has a convincing explanation. Companies in the same industry tend to follow the same road. They even benchmark against competitors to ensure that they are doing the same things at least as well, preferably better. But no lasting advantage can be gained from marching in step. By far the most successful financial services firm today is Charles Schwab, which turned the investment industry upside-down by being wholly different. Schwab didn't emulate the established industry: it forced its rivals to follow its lead - too late to prevent Schwab's upsurge.

EASIEST ALTERNATIVE

2008-12-21T20:54:00.000-08:00

The last two, note, are engaged in the trendiest sector (life sciences) of the highly favoured pharmaceutical industry. Astra's management, moreover, had decried the mega-merger wave in its industry in most scornful terms - until the moment came when its organic growth prospects seemed insufficiently rosy to guarantee profitable independence and merger synergies (i.e., savings) seemed more attractive As Thinking Managers has often observed, you can improve the bottom line by cutting expenditure, increasing sales, or (preferably) both. Of the three alternatives, however, the first is much the easiest.

That's because the other two probably cannot be achieved without transforming the company and its management. That is a tremendous test of both will and skill. The struggles at giants like Royal Dutch-Shell, Siemens and Philips show how fruitless it is to attempt radical changes in behaviour unless you first tear down a conservative framework. Shell's new chairman, for instance, is now placing single chief executives in charge of the various businesses. That comes after several years of attempted management reform. The step - hardly revolutionary in most other companies - should have been taken in the first stages of reform. Even now, Shell hesitates to appoint a chief executive for the entire group world-wide, for no good reason.

You can see the bad reasons simply by visiting the Shell head office in The Hague, where directors and their flunkies occupy whole floors apiece. Thinking Managers reported earlier how some top executives in Silicon Valley, even a mega-rich mogul like Andrew Grove of Intel, were abandoning their private offices for desks on the executive floor. The dignity and privileges of the summit are among the first objects of revolutionaries in politics. They should be equally prominent targets in management transformation.

Reinforcement for this truth came in the recent turmoil over the top post at Marks & Spencer, the retail group thought by many to be Britain's best managed company. Commentators remarked, almost unanimously, that the chairman and chief executive, Sir Richard Greenbury, was too powerful, had a domineering style that subjugated other managers to his will, had stayed too long at the helm, and should not have held both roles. Those have now been separated, but only after an unseemly public battle in which Greenbury again won - getting the successor of his choice.

The case also illustrates how the concentration of power and privilege at the top goes hand-in-hand with conservatism in strategy. Recently, Greenbury told a public audience scornfully that he would believe in electronic commerce when he saw it. If he can't see it now, either the M&S chairman must be blind, or he sees only what he prefers to see. As Michael de Kare-Silver points out in the excellent book E-Shock (Macmillan), already some 15-20% of consumers say they would prefer to shop electronically, rather than visit shops.

Product Strategy Prophet Mohammed (1)

Product Strategy Prophet Mohammed (1)

Products on the Qur'an, expressed in two terms, namely, al-tayyibat and al-Hufford. Al-tayyibat word used 18 times, while the words al-Hufford used 120 times in Scripture. Al-tayyibat refers to a good, a pure and good, something clean and pure, something good and thorough, and the best food. Al-Hufford, referring to the food Blessed Lord, and that the provisions of God (Ali, 1975). According to Islam, a consumer product is efficient, material that can be consumed a useful value in order to generate the repair material, moral, spiritual for consumers. Something that is not efficient and is prohibited in Islam is not a product in the understanding of Islam. In the conventional economic goods are goods that can be exchanged. But in Islam is the goods that could exchanged goods and efficient morally (Choudhury, 1991). From Abu Daarda pleased, he said, "He said said, "Surely it will find sustenance a servant sebagimana search of death." (HR. Ibn Hibban, Al Bazzar, and Arth-Thabrani and lafazhnya, "But the provision will be looking for a servant more than what is sought by one's fate." From Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqash RA, he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah said," The best dzikir is uncertain and that the best provision is sufficient. "(HR. Ibn Abu Awanah and Hibban).

Products include quality, distinctive, design, style, diversity, form, branding, packaging, size, services, insurance and refund. Quality is defined by the customer. Quality is how well a product in accordance with the specific needs of customers. From Jabir r.a., he said: "He s.a.w. prohibit selling fruit before cooking. "Then he asked people to," How the fruit ripe? "Answer the Prophet of Allah "Reddish, yellowish and can be eaten immediately." (Bukhari).

Strategies to create a vision

2008-12-02T20:45:00.000-08:00

Strategies to create a vision

According to Peter F. Drucker, the foundation of effective leadership is thinking vision and mission of the organization, study, and menegakkannya a clear and evident. Leaders set goals, determine priorities, and set and monitor standards.

Meanwhile, according to Tony Buzan in the book The Power of Spiritual Intelegence, vision is defined as the ability to think or plan the future with the wise and imaginative, using a mental picture of the situation that can and may occur in the future. The company's vision is the desire of companies that are ideal of carefully formulated, which determine the direction or future circumstances. The researchers see the vision as very important for the leadership, the implementation of the strategy and change (Doz & Prahalad, 1987; Hunt, 1991; Kotter, 1990; Robbins & Duncan, 1988; Sashkin, 1988).

Thus, the vision is the starting point of fact the next day a company. Vision, which is a very powerful ideas that can make the leap into the future beginning with the rally all the resources to realize the vision. Vision has the right lure and cause other people to make a commitment, generate energy and enthusiasm, to create meaning for the life of the company, to create standards that can be used to measure the success of the company, can be used outside people (customers) to measure the benefits for the company, a The main bridge between what is done now with companies that want the company in the future, is a major prerequisite for the moment and is the strategic basis for formulating the company's mission. Intel has a vision of encouraging ongoing innovation boundaries so that people can make life more fervent, more fulfilled and easier to manage. Intel's strong commitment to drive technology to make future has been the transformation of the world with a leap and bound. Intel is a company that always move in the circumstances, coal, creating an industry that never rest. Intel responses partner to develop innovative products and services, rally to support the industry can provide solutions with better resolution with collectively provide greater benefits and more quickly.

Bill Gates at the beginning of the founding of Microsoft, has the vision of "A computer on every desk in every home, running the Microsoft device." But after Bill Gates created the MS-DOS, it makes the Windows operating system as well as home use window (window) that caused Bill Gates to become Entrepreneurs richest in the world. It is not true is true that Bill Gates is merely a role in putting the PC in the office and at home in the world, but Bill Gates has the vision to see what is possible and the desire to change the vision into reality.

Thomas Watson Sr.. change the company name Computing Tabulating Recording Company became International Business Machine (IBM), even when not operate internationally, but Thomas Watson has a vision that the company later became the company that operates internationally. When Watson called the International Business Machine (IBM) many people when it mentertawakannya. Even if there is a name that Watson is too grown-blown company. But now IBM is a modern company and the manajernya become role models by setting the white shirt, plain tie, the spirit of selling out. In 2003 this company was selected as the IBM computer that the world's most spectacular version of Fortune magazine.

Jeff Bezos is the founder of Amazon.com, which initially only a bookstore .. Why does he call the company with Amazon. Because "the Amazon river is the largest river in the world" said Jeff Bezos.

John F.

STRATEGY consistency

2008-12-02T20:38:00.000-08:00

STRATEGY consistency

Consistency means obedience, does not change, congruence between what is said by the act. This strategy relates to build the brand so that the brand in the minds of consumers. Many of us once easy to switch brands, for various reasons. There is baseless because the market changed, so the product is changed juanclaudio eventually changed brands. I observed some High Academy, which changed from a High School High School or a university. Brands often do not ever use again, if it happens it is very easy entry. Almost certainly students decreased, it happened because the consumer mind can not forget the old brand and the brand new. Nevertheless, I also see there are still some who wear the brand ever, so that prospective new students still chose.
The market may be changed, but the brand must not be changed, never even think to change. I must change, perhaps slightly, but essentially the character can not be changed. Universities such as Gadjah Mada University, the University of Indonesia, Bandung Institute of Technology is a brand that has for many years and have never changed. Similarly in the automotive sector, for example, sell BMW car with the ultimate driving machine is more than 30 years, so pulan sell Volvo vehicles with safety also has more than 30 years. The most tempt to change the brand is boredom. This is the flatness in the biggest obstacles, so it tends to create a new brand. BMW also terpancing boredom with this. Finally, make a station car, which is home to a young professional adults, married and have children. The result can specializes, is not successful, even weakened the BMW brand itself in the minds of consumers.
Other stories about the Little Caesars with the "Pizza, Pizza", the purchase price of two pizza with a pizza. Little Caesars brand strength with the "Pizza, Pizza" is able to become America's largest network of pizza. Back again on the flatness of the Little Caesars' Pizza, Pizza "is finally introduce the Little Caesars" Delivery. Delivery "and that can happen is we think, is Little Caesars in sales down to third place, after Pizza Hut and Domino's Pizza. Brand to become worse after the Little Caesars change the size of medium to large sizes, such message by Al Ries and Laura Ries in the book 22 Immutable Laws of Branding.
Thus, build brand can not be only one night or reverse the hands, but must be maintained for many years and even embraced by adherence years without feeling bored and tempted to damage the brand. Besides, we must membatas brands that represent a simple and narrow in the minds of consumers so easy to remember by consumers. Although BMW is handled by three different ad bureau, but still maintain the strategy with the ultimate driving machine for more than 30 years. The strategy is called strategy consistency.

CONCEPT FOR BUSINESS blow COMPANY

2008-11-27T20:34:00.000-08:00

CONCEPT FOR BUSINESS blow COMPANY

According to Gary Hamel, to become a revolutionary industry can create a rule or a new game in the era or the difficult era of revolution must create a business concept and its component-component. A concept in the era of difficult business consists of four main components, namely the core strategy (Core Strategy), strategic resources (Strategic Resources), intermediary customers (Customer Interface) and the network value (Value Network). Four main components are linked by the three components of the bridge.
Among the core components of the strategy and resources linked by a strategic component of configuration activities (Configuration of Activities). Components of benefits for customers (Customer Benefits) linking the strategy's core customers and brokers. While the restrictions component company (Company Boundaries) to become a bridge between network resources with strategic value. In the business model difficult in the era include the four elements that determine the profit potential of efficiency, uniqueness, and the suitability of the profits.
The first component of the concept of this business strategy is the core (Core Strategy), which is the core of how a company choose how to compete. Elements of the strategy includes the core vision and business mission, the scope of the product / market base and differentiation. Vision business is what the desired company that ideal and mission operations of the business is a business vision. Vision and mission of this business will lead to a statement of values, the will of the strategy, objectives and targets large, and many brave and all performance targets. Vision and business mission is to provide direction and a criteria to measure the progress achieved. Vision, which was proved to be the spiritual capital melabungkan company. Merck Pharmaceutical has the vision that these companies exist because they provide the medicines to those who need them, so that the motive for the research work optimally.
Google's mission is to organize the world's information and make it accessible and universally used. Mission capital with a rich spiritual Google can make it explode selling ads. Capital from 0.1 million U.S. dollars in 1998 exploded in March 2007 with revenue reaching 3.66 billion dollars the United States.

GLOBAL THREATS

GLOBAL THREATS

Globalization and free market are expected as the global effort to improve efficiency. Global trade to help many countries to develop more quickly. Globalization is also considered to make the developing countries gain access to knowledge that can not be obtained previously. Globalization is as if the progress that must be accepted developing countries, if they want to grow and fight poverty effectively. But for most people in developing countries, globalization does not bring the promised economic benefits (Stiglitz, 2002:6).
Globalization in practice, developing countries must pay for the welfare of the efficiency of the world's developed countries. South efficiency of the global fund for the benefit and progress of the North. Market failures or failure, market failure occurs everywhere, not only because of the conditional demands for the realization of the market that can be self-regulating is not met (because of the assumption realization of the competition-free for the formation of a pure free market is not proven empirical-realistic), but also because of the economic interests and nonekonomi that must be maintained and through efforts to distort the market significantly (Swasono, 2003:83).
The increasingly wide gap between the rich and the poor has raised a lot more people in the Third World to become increasingly poor. In 1990, 2,718 billion population live with less money than $ 2 per day, whereas in 1998 the number of poor people who live with the money less than $ 2 per day is estimated to be 2,801 billion. This happened with the increase in total revenue in the current world average of 2.5% every year (World Bank, 2000:29).
Globalization has not succeeded in reducing poverty and ensuring stability has not been successful. The crisis in Asia and Latin America has been the economy and threaten the stability of developing countries, even the 1997 crisis and 1998 is a threat to the entire world economy.

THREATS CURRENCY

	THREATS CURRENCY Currency dollar hegemony the United States have proven our shattered economy and the Asian economy. The case is causing us to think a new currency that can rival the United States dollar. The currency is the dinar and Dirham, which has been used in the Roman and Persian era before Islam. Trade is the basis of the economy in Arabia before Islam came. Prerequisite for the transaction is the means of payment that can be trusted. Arabia and neighboring areas are under the direct authority of Persia and Rome. Unit of the money is used countries is the Dirham and the dinar. In the transaction of business Arabia in the second type of currency is also accepted. With more strong political both countries, the payment instrument is more trusted in the region that are under the influence of power. Because of that factor, the Persian nation and the nation's Roman is the only trading partner of the Arab people (Sadr, 1989). Dirham coin and the dinar has the weight and still have the content of silver or gold that remains. However, the dynasty Umayyah period Abbassiyah dynasty and the weight change, so also in the Persian own. In the period after Islam, the content of silver coins between different Dirham The one area to another, but in the early Islamic period has been fixed. At this time the amount of charity gold and silver as mentioned in the book is based on the severity of the holy Dirham and the dinar coin set in the early Islamic period (Kattani, 1975:413). Value of one dinar equal to ten Dirham (Sadr, 1989). But in the Dynasty Fathimiyah namely in the Al-Hakim bin Amrillah dinar price equal to 34 Dirham because many Dirham-Dirham mixture (Al Maqrizy, 1988:70-80). In dinating the Ottoman period, the official financial system Utsmaniah since 1534 Base on the goods in gold and silver mines, with 1:15 (Imarah, 1993:101). In addition dinar and Dirham, there is money to meet the needs for goods sales slightly cheaper price of one Dirham or part of the Dirham, because the first since up to now people need a tool to exchange other than gold and silver. To meet the needs of the purchase of cheap goods, they print a few of copper in the process of small pieces of money given name (copper cash) (Al Maqrizy, 1988:90). Value of money compared Dirham in the early Islamic period is 1: 48 (Al-Hallaq, 1986:17). Value does not keep the money to increase the copper Dirham in the year 756 H with a ratio of 1: 24 (Al-Sayuthi, 1975:104). Dinar and Dirham is the currency stable world from the beginning of Islam until now. Inflation in 1400 after years is zero. The price of chicken in the Messenger of Allah s.a.w. 1 Dirham and now (2006) is still about 1 Dirham (Vadillo, 1998). Dinar currency is ideal to facilitate and improve international trade and minimize speculation in the paper money that can trigger the Asian currency crisis of 1997. The existence of a fund unity between the countries of Muslim world will increase the quantity of trade between Muslim countries and help improve economic development if the condition of providing money dinar were successful (Beshir, 2003). Currency idea to help minimize the gold dinar currency hagemoni dollars the United States and once again use the dinar as an international currency because the value of paper currency does not continue to fluctuate as currency stabilnya gold, which has long lasting value, the value is the value of the metal itself. The system is built on the idea that the Islamic government to keep the gold at the Central Bank and use it in the framework of commercial transactions depend on foreign financial markets and the company's financial foreigner (Hanafi, 2003). Opportunities to use the dinar currency that is large enough, because the number of members of the population from the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) reached 1.1 billion or 19.2% of the population of the world. So we have time to replace dollar with the dinar.
