Guru Para Pemimpi

Bermula dari Kuliah Kerja Nyata (KKN), dia jatuh cinta kepada sebuah desa di Ciseeng, Bogor. Ketika semua temannya ingin lekas-lekas menyelesaikan kuliah, wisuda, dan mencari kerja, dia malah kembali ke desa tempat dia KKN. Dia mengalami jatuh cinta yang absurd seperti cinta Majnun kepada Laila. Apa yang membuat hatinya tertambat di sana? Desa itu tergolong miskin. Jalan menuju ke sana pun rusak berat, lebih-lebih kalau musim penghujan. Terpincut gadis desa yang cantik? Tidak juga. Sebagian besar gadis di desa itu hanyalah sekolah sampai SD. Setelah itu, mereka menikah, atau dinikahkan. Para pemudanya pun hanya satu-dua yang tamat SMA. Itulah rupanya yang membuat dia enggan pergi. Dia ingin membantu anak-anak desa itu mengecap pendidikan yang lebih tinggi. Agar mereka berani menggantungkan mimpi setinggi bintang. Padahal, dia sendiri hanyalah mahasiswa miskin, yang kadang tak punya ongkos untuk berangkat kuliah. Bagaimana akhirnya dia bisa membangun gedung sekolah di desa itu? Memoar inspiratif, kisah nyata perjuangan seorang pemuda mendirikan sekolah gratis bagi anak-anak pinggiran. ?Aku bangga lulus sekolah dari yang didirikan dengan pengorbananÿdan perjuangan. Semoga aksi Kak Hadi bisa menstimulus banyak orangÿuntuk melakukan hal yang sama, menumbuhkan benih-benih kecilÿdi banyak pelosok desa.? ?Asih Purnamasari, mahasiswi ITB, penerima beasiswa Pemda Jabar,ÿalumnus pertama Sekolah Alternatif Cendekia ?Masyarakat butuh orang-orang seperti Hadi.? ?Bahrul Hidayat, kiai dan tokoh masyarakat Babakan, Ciseeng-Bogor ?Ada hal penting yang sering kita lupakan, yakni melatih anak-anak berani bermimpi. Di Sekolah Cendekia, yang siswa-siswinya dari golongan ekonomi lemah, keberanian bermimpi mendapat penekanan yang luar biasa.? ?Setiyo Iswoyo, General Manager Yayasan Amal Khair Yasmin ÿ[Mizan, Mizan Publishing, Biografi, Memoar, Indonesia]

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET)

Understanding the Nigerian Experience

The descriptive mixed-methods study explores and describes the challenges and prospects of the growth and development of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) schools and science-based technology education in Nigeria. It is not understood how Nigerians in the United States perceive the impacts of governmental policies on education and the eventual contribution of graduates of TVET schools in Nigeria to the country's economic growth and development. The purpose of this descriptive mixed-methods study was to discover the opinions and perceptions of Nigerians in the United States regarding the consequences stemming from the Nigerian government's limited level of support for technical and vocational education and training (TVET) schools and programs. The questions for the descriptive mixed-methods study enable us to understand how the Nigerian government's limited level of support for TVET relate to the shortage of highly skilled manpower and technological capabilities and the policy interventions that will improve the situation and enhance national development. To provide a practical solution to the problem, my stances and conceptual framework hinged on human-capital development, leadership and governance, and technological capabilities. A triangulation of both quantitative and qualitative methods was utilized for data collection. To collect primary quantitative data for the study, 100 questionnaires were distributed; eight semi-structured interviews and focus-group sessions of six individuals were utilized to capture qualitative data. Quantitative data were scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale and qualitative data from the semi-structured questions were systematically examined, analyzed, coded, and integrated into the main data. Simple descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentages were employed to analyze and describe the data. The results were expected to enable the researcher to better understand the topic, reach a valid conclusion, and recommend possible practical solutions to the problem.

Business Strategy

Managing Uncertainty, Opportunity, and Enterprise

What is strategy? For many it is the application of a theory, model or framework. In this book Spender develops a different creative approach. Emphasizing that firms face uncertainties and unknowns (knowledge gaps) he argues that the core of strategic thinking and processes rests on the organization's leaders developing newly imagined solutions to the opportunities that these uncertainties open up. Drawing on a wide range of ideas from strategy, economics, entrepreneurship and philosophy he stresses the importance of judgment in strategy, and argues that a key element of the entrepreneur and executive's task is to engage chosen uncertainties, develop a language to express and explain the firm's particular business model for dealing with these, and thus create innovation and value. At the same time he shows how the language the strategist creates to do this gives the firm identity and purpose, and communicates this to its members, stakeholders, and customers. In an accessible and engaging style Spender introduces these ideas, and reviews the strategy tools currently available from consultants and academics. Throughout he stresses the uncertainties or knowledge absences that pervade business and make effective strategizing both necessary and valuable. He outlines a structured practice that managers and consultants might chose to follow, not a theory. With appendices on casework, teaching strategy, current strategy texts, and further reading this book makes an important contribution to our understanding of the field and practice of strategy, opening up new approaches for managers, consultants, strategy teachers and students.

Corporate Governance and Business Ethics

This volume explores corporate governance from three perspectives: a traditional economic, a philosophical, and an integrated business ethics perspective. Corporate governance has enjoyed a long tradition in the English-speaking world of management sciences. Following its traditional understanding it is defined as leadership and control of a firm with the aim of securing the long-term survival and viability of that firm. But recent business scandals and financial crises continue to provide ample cause for concern and have all fuelled interest in the ethical aspects. As a result, corporate governance has been criticized by many social groups. Economic sciences have failed to provide a clear definition of the corporate governance concept. Complexity increases if we embed the economic approach of corporate governance in a philosophical context. This book seeks to define the concept by examining its economic, philosophical and business ethics foundations.
