Strategi pengambilan keputusan untuk pengembangan pertahanan nasional menggunakan multi criteria decision making: pembelajaran dari Departemen Pertahanan Amerika Serikat

Tugas pertahanan nasional sesungguhnya adalah tugas seluruh warga negara, bukan hanya bagi aparatur negara saja khususnya angkatan bersenjata, tetapi juga masyarakat sipil lainnya. Pemerintah Indonesia sebagaimana juga pemerintah lainnya di seluruh dunia menyediakan suatu kementerian yang menangani pertahanan. Melalui Kementerian Pertahanan inilah sejumlah kebijakan yang merupakan keputusan strategis diambil dengan melibatkan banyak pihak, terutama para pakar yang menguasai bidangnya masing-masing. Salah satu metode yang sering digunakan dalam pengambilan keputusan, termasuk di negara-negara maju seperti Amerika Serikat adalah Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mempelajari strategi pengambilan keputusan bagi pengembangan pertahanan nasional menggunakan MCDM sebagai sebuah pembelajaran dari Departeman Pertahanan di Amerika Serikat. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Kementerian Pertahanan Republik Indonesia sebagai kementerian yang secara spesifik mengelola sejumlah agenda kebijakan pertahanan, memerlukan penerapan MCDM dalam pengambilan keputusan-keputusan strategis. Melalui beragam metode yang telah berkembang saat ini diharapkan dapat digunakan dalam membantu, memudahkan, mempercepat, memperjelas, dan mempersingkat pengambilan keputusan tersebut. Pembelajaran dari Departemen Pertahanan Amerika Serikat (Dephan-AS) dalam merumuskan berbagai analisa alternatif bagi implementasi program pengembangan pertahanan, baik militer maupun nirmiliter menjadi pelajaran berharga untuk dapat menjadi model bagi kebijakan pengembangan pertahanan di Indonesia

Assessing the Benefits of an ERP Implementation in SMEs. An Approach from the Accountant´s Perspective

The aim of the present study is to investigate by first-hand the level of satisfaction of the CEOs with the ERP system testing the benefits of its implementation on the company in four aspects, accounting, organizational, external or internal, that the adoption of an ERP system may entail to small and medium sized enterprises. A survey was designed to measure the accountants’ perception of the level of implementation of ERP in their companies. The sample consisted on 175 accountants from Spanish companies. To identify the best explanatory variables in order to test the hypothesis, a discriminant analysis for dimensionality reduction was used, choosing the factorial analysis. Finally, a post hoc analysis to investigate which factors affect the user satisfaction of ERP in business was carried out using multiple regression method (backward stepwise). The empirical evidence from a web-based survey with 175 Spanish SMEs confirms that an ERP system brings a variety of benefits including organizational, external and internal to an SME, and focusing on accounting there are a number of accounting benefits derived from ERP systems particularly for accounting process. The findings will be valuable to any business that wants to implement an ERP deeper in small businesses. This work significantly contributes to the existing body of ERP benefits knowledge to the SMEs in the light of the resource-based view, strengthens the literature about the topic because the use of theories in ERP literature in SMEs is still very limited.JEL Codes - M15; M4

The Role of A Decentralized Organizational Structure on KM Infrastructure Capability during the Implementation of ERP Systems in Kenya

It is a well-established fact that most Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) fail due to a myriad of implementation problems. This study was motivated by the high failure rate of ERP systems around the world during the implementation stage. Most studies report failure rates of between 65% and 75%. Many developed countries have adapted flexible organizational structures as a technique of minimizing ERP implementation problems. This paper investigated the influence of organizational structure on KM infrastructure capabilities during the implementation of ERP systems in organizations listed in the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) in Kenya, with the aim of establishing whether these organizations have embraced organizational structures which enhance knowledge sharing. Three hundred and six (306) questionnaires were distributed to senior managers and users of ERP systems in the companies listed in the NSE. One hundred and eighty four (184) responses were received representing a 60% response rate. The study employed factor analysis, correlation analysis, univariate analysis, multivariate regression analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the relationship among variables and measure the strength and direction of the relationships between constructs. Data was cleaned and analyzed using SPSS version 20 and AMOS version 21. The research found out that organizational structure is not considered a significant component of KM infrastructure in the companies listed in the NSE. The findings imply that most companies listed in the NSE in Kenya still practice silo behavior where individual divisions, units, or functional areas operate as silos or independent agents within the organization. This study leads to the conclusion that the organizational structures in Kenya are not flexible enough to enhance ERP implementation success and recommends that organizations should embrace decentralized structures, which provide the flexibility required for knowledge sharing in ERP implementation projects.

Integration of Analytic Network Process and PROMETHEE in Supplier Performance Evaluation

Supplier performance evaluation is one of the important factors in the supply chain because it is one of the company's strategies for increasing customer satisfaction and also maintaining the company's services in meeting consumer demand. This study proposes the integration of the Analytic Network Process (ANP) and the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) to evaluate supplier performance. The integration of the two methods is proposed to obtain more complex assessment results because the combination of the two methods considers various criteria derived from ANP and various preferences from PROMETHEE, so both methods are very good to use instead of using just ANP or PROMETHEE or other methods. ANP exhibit more complex relationships between criteria and levels in the decision hierarchy, while PROMETHEE provides decision-makers with flexible and straightforward outranking to analyze multi-criteria problems. In this study, ANP is used to weight the criteria, and PROMETHEE is used to rank suppliers in evaluating supplier performance. Integrating these two methods provides more objective and accurate results in multi-criteria decision-making. The proposed method is validated by solving an industrial case of supplier evaluation problem using the real data from the skewer industry. Finally, some useful implications for managerial decision-making are discussed
