The feasibility of government buildings, especially offices and schools as public service and social infrastructures, must be well maintained. When the building needs to be majorly rehabilitated, the government sometimes has to combine building demolition and deconstruction processes. In the government asset management cycle, the process starts with erasing the asset from the accountancy system, by selecting a building demolition contractor, then producing a new asset by selecting another builder contractor. In the past few years, the duration of this actual process acquired longer than the planned time. Therefore, this research aims to develop a management strategy in order to improve the government building disposal process. The process of the research started with obtaining the dominant factors that influence the demolition and deconstruction process, and then it is continued by developing the strategy.

Businesses are becoming more sophisticated about brand, its value and its role as a crucial driver of business success. But what do they need to put in place to realize the benefits of brand as an asset? In the previous issue, the author looked at the philosophy behind brand asset management. This article continues the discussion with an 11‐step approach to putting a brand asset management strategy in place, from developing a brand vision for the organization to the need to establish a brand‐based business culture.

As the number of aged infrastructures increases every year, a systematic and effective asset management strategy is required. One of the most common analysis methods for preparing an asset management strategy is life cycle cost analysis (LCCA). Most LCCA-related studies have focused on traffic and energy; however, few studies have focused on school buildings. Therefore, an approach should be developed to increase the investment efficiency for the performance improvement of school buildings. Planning and securing budgets for the performance improvement of school building is a complex task that involves various factors, such as current conditions, deterioration behavior and maintenance effect. Therefore, this study proposes a system dynamics (SD) model for the performance improvement of school buildings by using the SD method. In this study, an SD model is used to support efficient decision-making through policy effect analysis, from a macro-perspective, for the performance improvement of school buildings.

This study develops an implementation framework for asset management strategic planning of water distribution networks to meet sustainable infrastructure, socio-political, and financial targets over the life cycle of the infrastructure. The proposed framework is comprised of three decision-making layers: (1) Visions and Values, (2) Function, and (3) Performance. The asset management strategy framework is implemented and validated by demonstrating functionality and value by using data from three water utilities in Canada. The Visions and Values layer is set to meet the needs of the water utilities' stakeholders. The Function layer uses an advanced system dynamics model to simulate and forecast the system's future behavior. The Performance layer benchmarks, compares, and graphically illustrates the situation and performance of water utilities against each other regardless of their size. Benchmarking results indicate that all three water utilities can sustainably meet the strategic targets established in the Visions and Values layer of the asset management strategy over the benchmarking period. The impact of the desired cash reserve on infrastructure and financial benchmarking performance indicators is also investigated to explore the “optimal” combination of allowable fee-hike and rehabilitation rates using the contour plots developed over the benchmarking period. The results indicate that the optimal combinations of allowable fee-hike of ~8% per year and rehabilitation rate of 1.3% per year along with a 1–4% cash reserve, depends on the network condition, will allow water utilities to have sufficient funds to meet their strategic targets. The performance modeling and simulation approach presented in this study represents a powerful tool for other utilities to develop optimal strategic and operational plans for their networks and thus better service to their stakeholders.

The fund given to third party should be well-saved and secured. Therefore, the process of fund pooling and receiving must be based on the rule of Indonesian Bank, DSN, and Islamic bank. Besides, there must be a guarantee of the fund for its safety and cleanliness. Since Islamic bank dominates the use of sharing model, Muāmalah Māliah, for profit and risk,it must provide professional investment management. Moreover, Islamic bank should be careful in selecting investment in order to secure client’s fund. The main purpose of asset management is to maximize profit, minimize risk, and provide sufficient liquidity. Islamic bank has possible risk as well as conventional bank except interest risk as Islamic bank is according to profit and loss sharing. Bank cannot persuade its clients to invest their money without guarantee for security and withdrawal. Thus, bank must consider the risks that can influence the sum of profit: the assessment of budget and planning profit, company investment effectiveness, asset distribution, and strategy asset management implementation. Asset management strategy must be based on the source of fund and investment characteristics.
