Abstract

The implementation of warehouse receipt financing system for agriculture commodities has not been successfully developed in Indonesia, some constraints are hindering the system to grow. Flexibility strategy is conceptually applicable to minimize gaps in the system to its environment. This research was conducted to determine an adaptive warehouse receipt financing system using strategic flexibility. The research was carried out by ways in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with respondents with knowledge of or experience in warehouse receipt financing systems for commodities such as coffee, pepper, rice and maize. Analysis was done using Soft System Methodology (SSM) and Interpretive Structural Model (ISM) analysis to define conceptual models of flexibility strategy applied in warehouse receipt financing systems. The research findings, flexibility strategy is applicable in the warehouse receipt financing system: applying resource flexibility on input side to select the most efficient material to develop the product, applying resource and coordination flexibility in internal process to optimize internal processing, applying internal resources and coordinating flexibility on output distribution to expand the market and applying coordination flexibility to respond external condition. However, applying a flexibility strategy to respond externally was found to be the most suitable to adapt agriculture commodities financing on warehouse receipt system to its environment.

Abstract

The global demand for seaweed is expected to increase in the coming years due to new product development using seaweed. There are many benefits of seaweed such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food industries, textiles, paper, and bioenergy production. On the other hand, Indonesia, as the archipelago country with the second-longest coastline after Canada, is expected to achieve competitiveness so Indonesia benefit more from the seaweed industry. This study aims to get the landscape of the seaweed industry and to select strategies. The strategies are designed using the Structural Equation Modelling Method – Partial Least Square (SEM – PLS). The findings of this study are the competitive advantage of Indonesia's carrageenan-producing seaweed industry using descriptive statistical methods through the perception model show considered weak. The three main parameters of concern are assessed as low-cost leadership, ability to increase export value and self-sufficiency in meeting the needs of domestic seaweed. The analysis also shows that the influence of innovation and stakeholder support on increasing the competitive advantage of Indonesia's carrageenan-producing seaweed industry is considered significant. Innovation is represented by the latent variable attributes of innovation, communication channels and the role of change agents, which are concluded to have a significant effect both directly and indirectly on the industry's competitive advantage.
