The Spirit of Entrepreneurship

Most basic capital to entrepreneurs is the determination and courage to take and calculate risk. Without this, given the capital amounted to anything, will never become an entrepreneur. If we had such courage, we gave a chance how to manage a business well
This sentence made by Mr. Handito Joewono, Chairman of the Standing Committee of Education, Training, and Internships in the live event Kadin Indonesia Metro TV Special cooperation Higher Education Dialogue. Also featured as speakers in this event: Director General of Higher Education, Mr. Jalal and Mr. Agus Fasli Windarto, Lecturer of ITS.
According to Mr. Anggito to see the enthusiasm of the Indonesian students are actively involved in creating and displaying the best proposal to compete in the entrepreneurship program developed by the Higher Education student, convinces us that a lot of businessmen who will.
  "Moreover, this is a model of knowledge-based entrepreneurship and creativity. Ideas into their capital and money is only a bridge just said Mr. Agus Windarto.
It was nearly ten thousand students involved in student entrepreneurship package Dikti. This means that packets are competitive and it is estimated one in fifteen.
Mr Fasli said student entrepreneurship program that was started by the Higher Education is in the context of giving experiences and calculate the courage to take risks. "This also is in order to ensure fulfillment of the requirement of two years entrepreneurial experience, to gain regular access to capital" added the Mr. Fasli
Students have a clear plan, so that the business grows and funds continue to roll. To ensure sustainability, according to Director General there are colleges that put stock in an effort initiated by students. Some make one model, that for which it is successful will return the money into one place outside of government funds and used to help other students.
After two years of trying to do and develops according to the Director General will open the possibility of access to banking. "Bank Indonesia in some areas have been asked to banking circles that the 40 million packages entrepreneurship received by a team of entrepreneurial students can be assessed as 30 per cent equity. If running the banking business could come in with 70 per cent of shares of capital ".

AUTONOMOUS FAULT DIAGNOSIS: STATE OF THE ART AND AERONAUTICAL BENCHMARK

Recently I have no ideas to post something in my blogs, because I was so busy with some job in my office. I have to go travel to Bandung and Bogor to do my job, and that was really makes me so tired. Because of that to update my blogs, I just search on the internet about some interesting article and I found this article.
This article briefly reviews the state of the art in Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI), and give some description (describes) a test-case for in-flight fault diagnosis. The main concepts are recalled, the links between the approaches are indicated and the most promising methods are highlighted. The nonlinear models of the system, its sensors and actuators are described in the second part of the article, along with fault scenarios. Constraints restrict the approaches that are applicable on the test-case and suggest quantitative indicates that can be used to evaluate fault diagnosis strategies in an aeronautical context. This is the abstract of the article that I found it on the internet. I think this article is so useful to study and to know much more about how to write a nice article to International journal and to learn about Distance Learning in Business and Management, Distance Learning Management and Distance Learning Indonesia. This article has a conclusion like I write it below:
A survey of the main fault diagnosis approaches has been conducted in this paper. A classification according to the type of knowledge available has been proposed, and the links between apparently dissimilar techniques coming from different communities have been emphasized. We defined a test-case for in-flight FDI, based on an interceptor missile with a predetermined set of sensors and actuators with no hardware redundancy. The nonlinear models of the aircraft, its components and the faults affecting them were described in detail. Finally, methods to be further investigated along with the performance criteria to compare them were set forth.

Fight Against Illiteracy as My Social Activity as Lecturer at STIE Dewantara Bogor

As a lecturer I have three obligation, that is:
1. Teaching and Education
2. Research
3. Social Activity (Empowering people)
In this semester I give lecture to my students about Statistics and Management Information System. On Statistics class, the students are 100% fresh graduated from senior high school and I often call them regular class. On management information system class, the students are mix from regular class and irregular class; I often call them executive class because commonly the students are employee.

I make a plan in this semester I have to make at least one research on marketing (marketing research), the topics could be about positioning, marketing mix, distribution, place, pricing, or about promotion.
Now I just want to share about my experience in my social activity empowering people on Fight against Illiteracy in Kabupaten Bogor in years 2008.

This photo tell a story concerning school activity informally in a cloistered countryside in Bogor
Activity of eradication of this illiteracy entangle local tutor energies. This husband and wife spouse is local tutor which give the instruction read and write into local resident.

This photo show the activity one of the resident that trying so hard and learning to write on the black board "Good luck Grand Ma"

It’s me In this photo (wearing batik) take a photo together with the Tutor and the resident

I think enough for this time, next time Insya Allah I will continue my experience as a lecturer and I will post another story to you.

Mechanisms For Partnership Organizations

Partnership Organizations has seven mechanisms, I know it from The Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum and published in The book Tools for managing partnership in development.

That seven mechanisms are:

1. Public sector-led partnership initiative 
Structure established and (in part) funded by the public sector, with a focus on policy charges
2. Business campaign organizations 
Issue-based programme seeking to draw attention to a cause and promote charges in attitude or behaviour
3. Business coalition for social development
Membership-driven organization whose members are from business associations
4. NGO established by business
Vehicle for business to invest in social or environmental programme
5. NGO working with other sector
Organization that actively pursues its goals with partners from other sectors
6. NGO working as an intermediary
Organization that positions it self as an intermediary operating between partners and other stakeholders
7. Academia-led cross-sector initiative

Structure designed to integrate academic knowledge with practical needs and skills
Note: NGO in Indonesia known as LSM
 
How formal does a partnership have to be? There are vary opinions on this. Typically, a partnership its early stages does not require a formal contract-the relationship and collaborative work can often develop better with greater freedom to test out ideas. A simple memorandum of understanding may be sufficient in the first instance. Formal agreements are more appropriate as the relationship develops and become essential at the stage when significant resource commitments are required.

Whatever methods you choose to consult stakeholders, I suggest you to always remembering these 4 simply tips:
1. Ask clear and appropriate questions
2. Explain what you are doing and why (the reason you doing that)
3. Listen to what you are told
4. Give feedback
