Students of STM PPM’s Master of Management Program Won Again in The 3rd PPM Regional Business Case Competition

Regional Business Case Competition (RBCC) is a yearly competitive event held by Research Center and Case Clearing House (RC_CCH) of PPM School of Management. This was the third year for RBCC which at that time carried the theme “Integrating Market and Competence-Based advantages for Sustainability”.

So far, RC-CCH has generated a lot of local business cases while maintaining reference to changes in the global business world. The business cases were then used as teaching materials, both in formal education and in various management trainings, not only benefited by PPM School of Management but also by other management education organizations, at national and international levels.

Several companies whose business cases have been presented include PT Garuda Indonesia (aviation service company), PT Tempo Inti Media (magazine and newspaper publishing company), Cipaganti Group (holding company beginning from transportation services and now starting to have businesses in mining and sea transportation services), TIKI JNE (delivery service company), and PT Tiga Pilar Sejahtera (food company).

The competition participants were challenged to solve a case of PT. Taman Impian Jaya Ancol. In this activity, the  groups of S2 students of Management Science study program from various universtities in South East Asia and China used knowledges, skills, and experiences they have obtained during their study in their respective schools to compete in the quality of analysis, synthesis, and presentation of a business case tha has never been published before.  The finalists of the competitions were tested not only for written analysis skill but also in a series of debate sessions among finalists and in business presentations in front of business practitioners and academicians to defend their ideas.

The launching of Research Center and Case Clearing House Website

Research Center and Case Clearing House (RC-CCH) has several programs in developing research and management cases. To support the existing working programs, RC-CCH has launched this website. It provides information on news, research activities, and cases that will be and is being worked out by PPM Manajemen and RC-CCH in 2012.

As we know, RC-CCH is a unit in PPM School of Management (STM PPM) and was established in 2007. RC-CCH was designed  to encourage research and management case production at world level which would support the learning and teaching processes in the management science development.

A lot of RC-CCH programs in 2012 were carried out to develop global-oriented cases and researches. One of the new RC-CCH programs was Case Writing Workshop in cooperation with Asian Institute of Management (AIM),  the Philipines. There was also a Visiting Professor program where RC-CCH invited experts to share knowledges, methods, and experiences in management. In addition, there was also a case competition program routinely held yearly by STM PPM, Regional Business Case Competition  for Southeast Asia region.

The 3rd PPM Business Case Competition – JNE : Toward a World Class Logistic Company

The 3^rd PPM Business Case Competition in cooperation with PT Tiki Jalur Nugraha Ekakurir (JNE) presented a management case based on the existing condition of JNE market. As we know, JNE is one Indonesian company that has grown very rapidly and become one of market leaders in the express delivery industry.

PT Tiki Jalur Nugraha Ekakurir was established on 26 November 1990 by Soeprapto Suparno. This company was initiated as a division of PT Citra van Titipan Kilat (TiKi) operating in the field of international courier service.

With eight people and Rp 100 millions capital, JNE began their business activities focusing on handling custom clearance, import of goods, documents and their deliveries from abroad to Indonesia.

In 1991, JNE expanded its international network by joining the association of Asian courier companies (ACCA) based in Hongkong, later giving JNE an opportunity to expand its delivery area to all over the world.

Due to the competition in the domestic market, JNE also focused on expanding its domestic network. With TiKi’s domestic network and name, JNE gained an advantage in domestic market competition.  JNE also expanded its scope of services with logistics and distribution.

For years later both TiKi and JNE developed and became two companies with different directions. Therefore, the two companies became competitors to each other. Finally, JNT became a separate company with its own management. JNE created its own logo and differentiated itself from TiKi.

Entering  its 21st  anniversary, the courier company JNE is ready to enter logistic market. In its early period of establishment, JNE ran imported goods develivery business in 1990. In 1996, it entered domestic business. Currently its income growth has reached 25%-30% since 2009 period. Current JNE’s service products are among others money transfer service, food delivery service (Pesanan Oleh-Oleh Nusantara, PESONA), land delivery service (trucking service), moving service, air & sea cargo services, escort service, and custom clearance.
