PENGEMBANGAN INOVASI PEMBERDAYAAN IKM BARANG JADI KARET
ABSTRACT: After the
economic crisis in
1997, the growth
of Big and
Medium Scale Industries
(MBI) have been slowing down. The perspective of business returns to
SME’s. Meanwhile, the problems of
rubber SME’s products,
some of them,
have been known as
slow technology innovation, slow output
growth (productivity) and
lack of working
capital. To maintain
the competition in the
market, rubber SME’s
products must accompany
some strategies, in
order to survive
in the market and having a
bargaining position. This paper just made a recommendation of a model to optimize the
growth of rubber
SME’s products. The
spread and diffusion
of MBI as
a leader to rubber SME’s products as follower can be
done by making some assumptions which must be done by both parties. By doing
this, rubber SME’sproducts could enhance their function in the economy and
thus, They will have a secure market to support the economy and sustainability
of economic growth. To increase the parameters of productivity can be
implemented in some ways. The growth of investment, return of capital, working
hours, and the growth of human resources quality can be maintain as
the engine of
growth for rubber
SME’s products. To
perform this, They
could do through raised
of the saving,
lower inflation and
real costs through
government’s policy.The development of
industry should not be imposed
only through MBI.
The participation of
rubber SME’s products should be in the perspective of the government. As
it has been mentioned above, the
sustainability growth of
rubber SME’sproducts must
be integrated with
the growth of
MBI. The government should realize that most
of Indonesia population
works in this sector, therefore the
growth of this sector will be the locomotive engine of people’s economy.
