Judul: The integration strategy of corporate culture with competition strategy on the oil palm agroindustry
Abstrak: Dynamic business environment progressively leads the companies of oil palm agroindustry (OPA) to improve their competitiveness by participation building to every constituent at OPA’s business strategy. The constituents’ participative behavior is formed when corporate culture (CC) values and strategy policies are executed consistently. Organizational strategies which integrate CC with competition strategies are needed to improve constituents’ participation for increasing the OPA’s competitiveness. These research’s background was from the behavioral problems of plasma (farmers) and nucleus constituents those found at preresearches that was constituents’ attitude to sale fresh fruit bunches, job discipline, job quality, training and development, innovation and invention, expenses management, leadership, learning and knowledge, decision making, and appreciations to constituent’s achievement. These problems were used to compile framework of these researches. The research objectives were to find organization strategy forms that integrated CC with competition strategy, and to formulate direction of organizational management policies based on human and tasks considerations. To support these objectivities, studies were conducted on CC factors that covered values, CC creators and CC objectives, and 4 competition strategy (CS) types there were cost leadership, differentiation, cost focus and differentiation focus. Fieldworks were done by interview, observation and primary data collection by questioner at Jambi, Tebingtinggi, Malingping, Makassar and Burau with sampling technique by purposive judgment sampling. Hypothesis test of the CC factors relationships with competition strategies used general linear model multivariate method, while direction of integration strategy policies were being formulated from the hypothesis test results and dendogram analyses., Lingkungan bisnis semakin dinamis sehingga menuntu t perusahaan agroindus- tri kelapa sawit (AKS) untuk meningkatkan daya sain gnya. Peningkatkan daya saing dapat dicapai melalui partisipasi setiap konstituen pada pelaksanaan strategi bisnis AKS. Perilaku partisipasi konstituen terbentuk apab ila nilai-nilai budaya perusahaan (BP) dan kebijakan strategi dilaksanakan secara kon sisten. Dalam rangka me- ningkatkan daya saing AKS, partisipasi konstituen p erlu dikembangkan melalui strategi organisasi yang mengintegrasikan BP dengan strategi bersaing

Judul: Studi implementasi konsep keunggulan bersaing dalam pemilihan strategi pemasaran perusahaan pada industri oleokimia  : studi kasus pada industri hilir minyak kelapa sawit di PTP Agrintara, Jakarta
Abstrak: Penelitian ini dilatarbelakangi oleh 2 fenomena penting yang menandai perkem- bangan industri minyak kelapa sawit nasional dewasa ini. Pertama, keberhasilan pening- katan laju pertumbuhan produksi CPO ternyata belum sepenuhnya diikuti dengan upaya pengembangan industri hilirnya. Hal ini, mengakibatkan nilai tambah yang hyang terjadi pada: proses pengubahan bahan lebih banyak dinikmati oleh negara konsumen. Padahal, nilai tambah tersebut diperkirakan mencapai Rp 20.000,00 hingga Rp 50.000,00 per ton CPO (Lukmana, 1995; Lubis dan Naibaho, 1995). Sementara, 90 persen dari setiap ton CPO berpeluang untuk diolah menjadi produk hilirnya, yakni oleokimia (CIC, 1995). Disam- ping itu, perkembangan harga CPO yang berfluktuasi mengikuti siklus 5-7 tahunan dan cenderung menurun akan berdampak kurang menguntungkan jika industri minyak kelapa sawit hanya mengandalkan ekspor produk primer tersebut (Oil World, 1993; Pulungan, 1994; Dradjat dan Buana, 1995). Kehia, disepakatinya General Agreement on Tarif and Trade (GATT) pada tahun 1993 mengarahkan dunia pada era perdagangan bebas. Hal ini akan semakin memperkuat akses minyak kelapa sawit terhadap pasar dunia sejalan dengan berkurangnya hambatan-hambatan tarif dan non tarif lintas negara dan sebagai konsekuensinya, persaingan pun semakin meningkat (Basiron, 1993) Dengan demikian, pengembangan industri oleokimia berbahan baku CPO dalam kerangka pengembangan industri hilir minyak kelapa sawit penting untuk dilakukan dan harus disertai upaya-upaya peningkatan daya saingnya, diantaranya melalui penelaahan terhadap konsep keunggulan bersaing beserta implementasinya dalam pemilihan strategi pemasaran perusahaan pemain industri oleokimia tersebut. Secara spesifik, penelahaan ini bertujuan untuk (1) mempelajari konsep dan sumber-sumber keunggulan bersaing peru- sahaan, (2) mempelajari model hirarki pemilihan strategi pemasaran perusahaan dan (3) memilih strategi pemasaran perusahaan. Berdasarkan cakupan bersaing perusahaan, maka penelaahan dilakukan dalam fokus industri oleokimia asam lemak dan gliserin.

Judul: Pengujian Virus Newcastle Disease Gen VII Isolat Lapang Sebagai Virus Standar Pada Uji Tantang Vaksin
Abstrak: This study was conducted to determine the standard of Newcastle disease virus Gene VII field isolate as a virus challenge to vaccine test. A virus suspension that has previously been tested by HA test then titrated with EID50 using 30 Specific Pathogen Free (SPF) of 10 day old chicken embryonated eggs. In addition, chicken lethal dose50 (CLD50) test were used to determine the virus titer that could cause 50% death of the chicken population. The CLD50 test was used 25 day-old-chickens (DOC) divided into 5 groups. The virus was diluted from 10-1 to 10-8. The 104 to 10-8 dilution of NDV was infected to every group of chicken via eyedrop and intranasal with 0.1 ml/chicken dosage. Haemagglutination test showed that the allantoic fluid were contain high titers of NDV is 512 HAU. The infective NDV that had been titrated by EID50 test showed the virus titers is 109 EID50/0.1 ml or 1010 EID50/ml and the virus titers of CLD50 test e.i 106.48 CLD50/0.1 ml or 107.48 CLD50/ml. These results can be concluded that the NDV Gene VII field isolates were most appropriate to be used as a standard virus to vaccine test
