Pengaruh Infrastruktur Pada Pertumbuhan Ekonomi Wilayah Di Indonesia

Abstract: Infrastructure development is believed as to be an economic development accelerator. This study aims to analyze the impact of infrastructure on regional economic growth in Indonesia using panel data methods. The model is built based on the Cobb-Douglas production function. By using the infrastructure data of 26 provinces using the fixed effects method of panel data, the results obtained show that economic growth is influenced by infrastructure, such as the provision of electricity, paved roads and clean water. In addition, production activities in Indonesia are still categorized as laborintensive, this is shown by the fact that the elasticity of labor is greater than the elasticity of capital. Electricity has the greatest impact on economic growth, followed by paved road and clean water.

Abstract: The aim of this study is to measure the efficiency of Islamic Bank in Indonesia, to analyze the factors that affect the level of efficiency which is known as Two-Stage Data Envelopment Analysis method and to propose measurement of Bank Soundness with modified CAMELS. The objects of this study are 10 (ten) Islamic Bank (BUS) in Indonesia which analyzes from the second Quarter of 2010 until the fourth Quarter of 2012. There are 2 (two) methods which are used in this study, namely non-parametric method of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) on the first stage and Tobit model on the second stage. In addition, this study will illustrate the formulation of the financial factors of CAELS instead of CAMEL by integrating the results of efficiency level measurement using DEA in CAELS formulation. Overall, the results, show that the efficiency level of Islamic banks in Indonesia during the time period in this study, have not yet reach the optimum level of efficiency. In addition, modification of CAELS for the bank performance level method by integrating the result of DEA shows that the modification of CAELS could be more accurate in describing the bank performance level, particularly for Islamic Bank in Indonesia.

Turnaround: Retrenchment and recovery

Abstract: Empirical research was conducted to investigate retrenchment as an integral component of the overall turnaround process. An industry study provided an anchored operational definition of a turnaround situation, indications of its internal and external causes, and an application of an absolute measure of its severity. The research further produced an empirical discrimination between retrenchment as a stand-alone response to financial decline and retrenchment as an initial phase of a turnaround strategy, and an identification of activities that can be used to classify entrepreneurial vs. efficiency emphases in a turnaround firm's recovery response.

Istilah “manajemen mempunyai arti sebagai pengetahuan tentang bagaimana seharusnya memanage (mengelola) sumber daya manusia. Dalam usaha pencapaian tujuan perusahaan, permasalahan yang dihadapi manajemen bukan hanya terdapat pada bahan mentah, alat-alat kerja, mesin-mesin produksi, uang dan lingkungan kerja saja, tetapi juga menyangkut karyawan (sumber daya manusia) yang mengelola faktor produksi lainnya tersebut. Namun, perlu diingat bahwa sumber daya manusia yaitu manusia sendiri sebagai faktor produksi, seperti halnya faktor produksi yang lainnya, merupakan masukan (input) yang diolah oleh perusahaan dan menghasilkan keluaran (output). Karyawan baru yang belum memiliki keterampilan dan keahlian dilatih, sehingga menjadi karyyawan yang terampil dan ahli. Apabila dia dilatih lebih lanjut serta diberikan pengalaman dan motivasi, dia akan menjadi karyawan yang matang. Pengolahan sumber daya manusia inilah yang disebut Manajemen SDM.
