Untitled essay
Indonesia is on its way to the digital era, this can be said by looking at finding like We Are Social (2017) that state 51% of Indonesian have access to the Internet. Interestingly, the latest number from Google shows that from 50 million small and medium enterprises (SMEs) only 1% have an online presence. Seeing the yet to be explored opportunities, in 2017 the government issue a stimulus economy packet that focuses on driving the digital economy in Indonesia.
That being said, my interest toward digital economy lead me to work in the e-commerce sphere as Business Development. I have the opportunity to look at a broader image of digital economy landscape in Indonesia. I also got a chance to take a closer look at the process of SMEs entering the digital market. And then I realized there is a gap in skills and readiness between entrepreneurship ecosystem and digital economy in Indonesia.
Seeing this, I believe the need to provide accessible advisory and guidance to integrate SMEs into the digital economy is imminent. Hence, the need of competent practitioner to speed up and help to ensure the success of government economy packet.
For that purposes, I need a course that covers a deep knowledge for launching and developing new business. A course that gives opportunity to experience first hand an entrepreneurial workload both as an entrepreneur or in advisory work.
With that in mind, I choose Australia National University. The 96 units of study cover subjects from management core into subjects that specifically explore the way to navigate changes in the market. This wide range and deep subjects will benefit me greatly in understanding entrepreneurship and Innovation. My second choice falls into Melbourne University that offers a unique toolkit to build my knowledge. This toolkit involved direct involvement with the industries which will give me firsthand experience in the process. Furthermore, the only 60 students limit will ensure all students get personalized attention.
