Continuity Planning

Building redundant capacity into an organization’s information technology (IT) infrastructure is a standard part of business continuity planning (BCP). Traditionally, cost concerns have dominated the decision of where to locate the redundant facilities. However; recently managers are becoming more aware of the fact that the very issues that make the main IT facilities vulnerable to disruption (i.e. man-made or natural disasters) are likely to impact the redundant (back-up facilities as well. This complicates the process of selecting redundant facility location(s). The problem is essentially a multi-criteria decision problem, and can be addressed using the location analysis techniques that have been used in other domains in the past. Meanwhile, what make this context somewhat unique are the decision criteria and the rather subjective nature of the decision process. This paper provides a simple decision model for the problem, and illustrates the model with a case where relevant decision criteria are identified and the solution is obtained using a mix of objective and subjective decision techniques. We believe the paper is valuable because it presents an actionable methodology for practitioners involved in BCP. <br>

Network Process

The idea of synthesizing analytical and heuristic approaches is proposed in order to join different approaches to the Venture Capitalists (VCs) decision making. The research applies Analytic Network Process (ANP) methodology to the comparative evaluation of four e-commerce startups. The proposed ANP model represents the decision problem as a structure of Benefits-Opportunities and Risks networks with dependences and feedbacks between decision criteria and alternatives. Based on VCs judgments that are checked for consistency, the ANP approach helps choose the best startup for funding or to estimate the target startup versus other startups. The ratings that are obtained may be used as weights for determining a startups valuation.  In the model, heuristics is used without reducing the complexity of the task and thus helps avoid the systematic error. Moreover, the idea of applying ANP to the VCs decision making serves to make the decision process transparent and understandable. To implement the ANP model, Multichoice software has been developed.

The Relationship

The rise of e-commerce has brought considerable changes to the relationship between firms and consumers, especially within international business. Hence, understanding the use of such means for entering foreign markets has become critical for companies. However, the research on this issue is new and so it is important to evaluate what has been studied in the past. In this study, we conduct a systematic review of e-commerce and internationalisation studies to explicate how firms use e-commerce to enter new markets and to export. The studies are classified by theories and methods used in the literature. Moreover, we draw upon the internationalisation decision process (antecedents-modalities-consequences) to propose an integrative framework for understanding the role of e-commerce in internationalisation

Disaster Recovery Planning

Masih banyak orang di bidang TI maupun manajemen (baik akademisi ataupun profesional, terutama di Indonesia) yang masih belum mengenal tentang disaster recovery planning atau seringkali disingkat sebagai DRP. Mendengar saja pun masih banyak yang mengernyitkan dahi, “apakah itu termasuk ilmu baru ?”, “siapa yang mencetuskan ?”,”apa efeknya bagi lembaga atau perusahaan ?” dan masih banyak pertanyaan lain yang menggelayut di benak para profesional maupun akademisi.DRP sendiri yang nantinya akan menjadi sebuah rangkaian dari business continuity planning atau BCP, sesungguhnya bukan hal baru di bidang TI maupun bidang manajemen. Tetapi meski bukan suatu hal yang baru, DRP sendiri seringkali menjadi “anak tiri” dalam sebuah implementasi sistem informasi di sebuah institusi.

Based on Bank Indonesia data, electronic money transactions have grown rapidly in the past 10 years. Throughout 2018, the volume of electronic money transactions was 2.92 billion transactions, growing 16,600 times compared to 2009.This study aims to analyze the factors that influence interest in using the LinkAja digital wallet using the UTAUT 2 method. The object of this study is the LinkAja digital wallet user who is domiciled in Jakarta. The independent variables examined in this study were Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, Facilitating Conditions, Hedonic Motivation, and Habit on Behavior Intention using PLS-SEM analysis techniques.

Hierarchy Process

The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) remains a popular multi-criteria decision method. One topic under discussion of AHP is the use of different scales to translate judgments into ratios. The author makes a new approach to compare different scale functions and to derive a recommendation for the application of scales. The approach is based on simple analytic functions and takes into consideration the number of criteria of the decision problem. A generalization of the so-called balanced scale is proposed, and a new adaptive-balanced scale is introduced. Scales are then categorized and compared based on weight boundaries and weight ratios, weight uncertainties, weight dispersion and number of decision criteria. Finally, a practical example of a decision hierarchy is presented applying the different scales. The results show that the generalized balanced scale improves weight dispersion and weight uncertainty in comparison to the fundamental AHP scale. The proposed adaptive-balanced scale overcomes the problem of a change of the maximum weight depending on the number of decision criteria.
