Education Groups

As a kind of strategic alliance, basic education groups rely on the knowledge sharing and coordination among group members, in addition to the sharing of tangible assets, to promote education fairness and improve education quality. This paper aims to incentivize and restrict the knowledge sharing among group members. Firstly, the authors analyzed the economies of scale, economies of scope, and the economies of connection brought by the knowledge sharing among group members, and summarized the problems and challenges faced by knowledge sharing. Then, the evolution mechanism of the knowledge sharing among group members was studied from the perspective of game theory, and the suggestions were proposed to improve the incentive and restrictive mechanism of the knowledge sharing among group members. The research results shed a new light on the knowledge sharing in basic education groups.

Merger dan akuisisi telah menjadi pilihan utama dalam pelaksanaan konsolidasi perbankan yang direkomendasikan dalam rangka penguatan industri perbankan di Indonesia. Proses merger dan konsolidasi ini membutuhkan biaya besar dan mengandung resiko, dua factor yang menyebabkan penurunan tingkat efisiensi bank yang telah melakukan merger.Penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa proses merger menurunkan efisiensi bank, meski berdampak positif terhadap stabilitas dari efisiensi bank tersebut. Ini menunjukkan manajemen bank yang lebih baik setelah merger dan peningkatan economies of scale. Sebelum merger, bank harus meningkatkan efisiensi terlebih dahulu, misalnya dengan meningkatkan produktivitas tenaga kerja dan peningkatan utilisasi teknologi. Paper ini menunjukkan, jika skor DFA 0,7, bank dapat meraih keuntungan economies of scale, economies of scope dan technical progress yang dapat meningkatkan efisiensi.Beberapa rekomendasi yang diusulkan, pertama, Bank Indonesia seharusnya mengarahkan manajemen perbankan dalam hal pengalokasian biaya operasional secara optimal. Kedua, harus ada upaya untuk mengembalikan tingkat efisiensi bank pada level efisiensi semula. Ketiga, Bank Indonesia, harus mengarahkan perbankan untuk mengabsorpsi teknologi sejauh mungkin. Keempat, efisiensi internal merupakan aspek penting yang harus diraih sebelum proses merger dilakukan.JEL: C29, C39, D23, G21Keywords : X-efficiency, Merger, Seemingly Unrelated Regression, Cost function, Economies of scale, Bank.

Cost Leadership Strategy

Purpose of the study: Cost leadership strategy is driven by economies of scale, economies of scope, and operational efficiency is a remedy to a performance where firms are facing high costs. This study sought to investigate the influence of cost leadership strategy on the performance of milk processing firms in Kenya through the lens of competitive advantage as a mediator. Methodology: The study adopted descriptive and explanatory non-experimental research designs. It was a census of all 29 milk processing firms registered with Kenya Dairy Board as of June 2019. Sampling was done using proportionate stratified random sampling technique and data was collected using self-administered semi-structured questionnaires. The analysis was done using means, standard deviations, and regression. Main Findings: The findings showed that a cost leadership strategy had a positive and significant effect on the performance of milk processing firms in Kenya with a competitive advantage partially mediating the relationship. The constituent measures of cost leadership strategy namely economies of scale, economies of scope, and operational efficiency accounted for 40.1% of the variation in firm performance. Applications of this study: This study provides suggestions for firms to manage costs and therefore improve performance. This is by increasing the size of operations, expanding into related business areas, and improving operational processes. Novelty/originality of this study: The study examines the influence of cost leadership strategy in a new context of milk processing firms in Kenya. It also incorporates a competitive advantage as a significant variable affecting the relationship between costs and performance.

Didirikan pada tahun 1993, Prima Sakti adalah sebuah perusahaan metal stamping dan plastic injection parts. Setelah lebih dari dua dekade, perusahaan ini telah berkembang menjadi sebuah perusahaan yang kompleks dalam hal ukuran, pasar dan produk. Penelitian kualitatif ini dipandu oleh sejumlah teori sebagai landasan dan menggunakan triangulasi data. Hasil dan pembahasan menunjukkan adanya perkembangan perusahaan dari sistem made-to-order menjadi sistem hybrid antara sistem made-to-order dan made-to-stock untuk memaksimalkan kapasitas dalam menerapkan cost leadership. Target pasar juga meluas dalam hal melanjutkan penetrasi pasar, pengembangan pasar dan pengembangan produk. Hasil dan pembahasan juga mengindikasi bahwa untuk mendapatkan keunggulan kompetitif, perusahaan mengintegrasi strategi cost leadership dan differentiation. Sebagai penutup, peneliti mengusulkan sebuah teori-mini yang didasarkan pada sejumlah variabel antara lain reputasi perusahaan, kualitas produk, pelayanan, learning effect, economies of scale, economies of scope dan capacity utilization yang mungkin memengaruhi keunggulan kompetitif untuk diuji secara kuantitatif.

Bank Merger

Konsolidasi perbankan yang dilakukan untuk memperkuat industri perbankan di Indonesia, membuat merger dan akuisisi menjadi pilihan utama dalam pelaksanaan konsolidasi tersebut. Adanya resiko yang harus ditanggung oleh bank hasil merger dan proses konsolidasi yang membutuhkan biaya tinggi, antara lain merupakan penyebab dan menurunnya tingkat efisiensi bank hasil merger. Dalam paper ini ditunjukkan bahwa proses merger menurunkan efisiensi tetapi meningkatkan stabililas dan keefisienan bank merger. Kestabitan ini menunjukkan terbentuknya manajemen yang lebih baik dari bank hasil merger. Skala ekonomi bank setelah merger mengalami peningkatan.Sebelum melakukan merger, bank secara internal harus terlebih dahulu meningkatkan efisiensinya, yang dapat dilakukan misalnya dengan meningkatkan produktivitas dari karyawan dan peningkatan penggunaan teknologi. Dalam paper ini ditunjukkan bahwa apabila skor efisiensi DFA-nya sudah mencapai 0,7, maka bank baru merasakan manfaat dan economies of scale, economies of scope dan kemajuan teknis unuk meningkatkan efisiensinya.Tulisan ini memberikan beberapa rekomendasi: pertama, Bank Indonesia harus mengupayakan agar manajemen dari bank tetap baik, sehingga bank dapat menggunakan dan mengalokasikan biaya-biaya operasionalnya secara optimal. Kedua, harus adanya upaya untuk mempercepat pulihnya efisiensi bank setelah merger, sehingga tingkat efisiensinya kembali ke level semula. Ketiga, Bank Indonesia harus mendorong perbankan untuk dapat memanfaatkan teknologi dengan sebaik mungkin. Keempat, efisiensi internal dari sebuah bank penting dilakukan sebelum bank melakukan merger.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to gain insight into the understanding of genetics and perceptions on the ethical issues related to genotype disclosure of the participants in a nutrigenetic study. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> A close-ended questionnaire was developed based on literature and discussions among the research group members. The questionnaire contained a ­total of 33 questions, which were divided into 4 categories – demographics, knowledge assessment, concerns related to participation, and opinions on disclosure of information. Majority of the participants (250 out of 281) of a nutrigenetic study, in which effect of disclosing <i>APOE</i> allele status on lifestyle changes was studied, completed the questionnaire online following the informed consent process. The responses from the knowledge assessment and the concern categories were transformed into knowledge and concern scales, respectively, and analysed by descriptive statistical methods. The statistical associations between the categorical variables were determined using χ<sup>2</sup> test of independence. The relationship between the continuous variables was assessed using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and internal consistency of questions by Cronbach’s alpha. <b><i>Results:</i></b> No correlation was observed between the level of education and knowledge scores. About 10% of the participants thought that the genetic predisposition would be stressful to them and their family members. <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> Careful distribution of information before a nutrigenetic study supports understanding and reduces concerns of genetic susceptibility. In Finland, strong basic education is likely to have strengthened the trust in research process.
