    AID GOODS ALLOCATION–DISTRIBUTION INTEGRATION PLANNING FOR NATURAL DISASTER RELIEF WITH DIRECT SHIPMENT
    (SMART, 2009-06-10) Oktarina, Rienna; Sutoko, Mame S.
    The aid goods distribution for natural disaster relief involves activities for delivering aid goods from supply nodes to demand nodes. In this case, the supply nodes are the places whith surplus of commodity or aid goods and the demand nodes are the places where the disaster occurred. A well-planned integration of allocation-distribution system of aid goods is essential to support a prompt supply of aid goods for minimizing the casualties and restoring the productive activities in the disaster area. This paper discusses a research on development of allocation and distribution model of aid goods for natural disaster relief. The objective function of the model is to minimize total unsatisfied demands for all necessary aid goods in all demand nodes throughout the planning horizon. The model considered multi commodities, multi transportation modes, multi vehicles, and multi periods. The model is decomposed into two sub models. Sub model 1 deals with the allocation problem of aid goods, and sub model 2 concerns with the assignment problem of vehicle distributing aid goods where their compositions and amounts are to be specified by Sub model 1. Allocation of aid goods in Sub model 1 considered weighted of commodities, so the solution of the developed model in sub model 1 obtained with Integer Linear Programming (ILP).The sub model 2 developed in this research also adopts maximum weight and volume of consignment to define load capacities of vehicles used in delivering the aid goods. The pattern of distribution is direct shipment; one supply node will supply multi commodities for many demand nodes. The purpose of this paper is to determine allocation model for both type and amount of aid goods which will be distributed from supply node to demand node.

    FINANCING TECHNOLOGY IN HIGHER EDUCATION, STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE ON SECTOR STRUCTURAL IMPLICATION
    (2010-05-17) Sutoko, Mame S.
    The accelerating progress of ICT that has changed the education demands of individuals and nations needs a good understanding of the nature, role and implications of ICT in education, how to design specific measures of its supply, the constraints and conditions to be faced and structural changes implied by the use of technology at micro and macro level. While the use of technology in education is apparently promising in boosting the quality of education, its financing will probably require a deeper consideration since for a country such as Indonesia with its only $ 2000 GDP/Capita, competing demands in providing education infrastructure such as building, books, teaching aids, training as well as personnel wage and salaries etc are still not yet completely answered. In this context, it is interesting to assess the likely financial impact of the accelerating progress and the use of ICT in higher education on the development opportunity of the majority of private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Indonesia.

    THE INFLUENCE OF INFORMATION ASYMMETRY ON EARNINGS MANAGEMENT PRACTICE AND THEIR IMPLICATION ON SHARE PRICE CHANGES
    (Universitas Widyatama, 2008) Sarumpaet, Tetty Lasniroha; Meliala, Janita S.; Sutoko, Mame S.
    The research conducted an empirical investigation on the influence of information asymmetry on earnings management and their implication on share price changes. When information asymmetry is high, the stakeholders do not have any information or resources to monitor and to know manager’s activities, which then usually raise the earnings management practice. To provide evidence on earnings management practice and information asymmetry, this research used aggregate accrual with modified Jones model and market microstructure theory. This research employed quotes, trading volume, and return volatility for bid ask spread to proxy in market structure and used control variables for complete analysis. We employed multiple regressions with 34 firms’ balanced data in the 2003-2005 periods. Empirical result suggested that independent variables have influence on earnings management, and they correlated with share price changes.

    MODEL KONSEPTUAL AKTIVITAS KNOWLEDGE SHARING ANTAR DOSEN DI PERGURUAN TINGGI DALAM MELAKSANAKAN PENELITIAN
    (Seminar Nasional TEKNOIN 2012, Fakultas Teknologi Industri Universitas Islam Indonesia, 2012-11-12) Boediprasetya, Agoestiana; Siswanto, Joko; Sutoko, Mame S.; Suryadi, Kadarsah
    Perguruan tinggi merupakan organisasi yang berbasis pengetahuan (knowledge-base organization). Penelitian akhir-akhir ini menunjukkan bahwa organisasi, terutama yang berbasis pengetahuan, memperoleh manfaat yang besar dengan menerapkan knowledge management. Sementara itu tahap kritis untuk keberhasilan implementasi knowledge management adalah knowledge sharing, dengan demikian aktivitas knowledge sharing merupakan hal yang sangat diperlukan. Aktivitas knowledge sharing pada perguruan tinggi antara lain terjadi di antara para dosen dalam rangka melaksanakan Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi khususnya bidang penelitian. Mengingat penelitian adalah kegiatan yang syarat dengan pengetahuan, maka kinerja penelitian yang masih rendah setidaknya dipandang dari jumlah penelitian yang dihasilkan dosen, boleh jadi disebabkan oleh aktivitas knowledge sharing yang kurang efektif. Penelitian ini menggali aktivitas knowledge sharing yang terjadi di antara para dosen dalam rangka melaksanakan penelitian. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menemukan suatu model konseptual untuk aktivitas knowledge sharing yang dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi kinerja penelitian. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian awal dengan mempelajari literature dan sistem nyata yang terjadi. Dari penelitian ini diperoleh model konseptual aktivitas knowledge sharing yang terdiri atas 3 dimensi yaitu tipe knowledge, metode sharing, dan effort. Tipe knowledge terdiri atas 3 tipe yaitu administration knowledge, tool knowledge, dan academic knowledge. Metode sharing terdiri atas person from/create document, person from/to person, dan person from/to group. Intensitas effort merupakan variabel anteseden bagi intensitas sharing atas berbagai tipe knowledge dan metode yang digunakan. Selain itu, ditemukan pula variabel yang bertindak sebagai enabler yaitu budaya dan tingkat penggunaan teknologi informasi.

    THE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO: REVISITED ASSESSING COMPETITIVE POSITION IN EDUCATIONAL SERVICES SECTOR
    (Journal Review of Management Innovation and Creativity, 2011) Sutoko, Mame S.; Muchlis, Tanti Irawati
    The product portfolio concept, firstly introduced by Bruce D. Henderson (1970), the founder of Boston Consulting Group, has been widely known as a milestone in Business Strategy literature. This analytical tool was so appealing and has been attracting a wide discussion since almost 40 years ago for its simplicity in assessing competitive position of company products and formulating strategic programs for future growth and development. Surprisingly, despite of its popularity, there were only a few reports on its application in practice. A widespread confusion and misunderstanding on how to put this analytical tool at work was seemingly the main root hampering any implementation attempt. Literature stuck only at introductory level of the concept, losing words of how to describe further the details for application. This report shares the experience of Widyatama University in using the said Product Portfolio for assessing its competitive posture and shows the advantage of this simple powerful technique. Market share and growth are among industry factors linked directly to profitability, a basic structural model, long time studied and revealed by the discipline of industrial economics, triggering many empirical studies. While quality of educational services remain undoubtedly an ultimate competitive advantage, the recent pressure and growing opinion treating higher education more as private services, places this sector under market competition law and market share becomes a determinant factor affecting sustainability of any higher education institution
