Swargaloka was first established in 17th of June 1993, by Suryandoro, a graduate of ISI (Institusi Seni Indonesia/Indonesian Institute of the Arts) located in Yogyakarta. They moved to Jakarta in the late 1990s as the founders move to Jakarta for their new career. An avid dancer himself, Suryandoro first intended Swargaloka as an establishment to prepare future generation of dancers. He received full support from his family who consists of gifted artists and dancers. Suryandoro’s wife, Dewi Sulastri, is one of the world dance maestros with a beautiful voice. The mother of four has produced dozens of new dances and performances. Some of the well-known dances of her creations Srimpi Retno Utama (1989), Bondan Suko Asih (1989), Bedaya Dewi Sri (2003), Bedoyo Aji Soko (2008), Bedoyo Tri Sabdo Tunggal Indonesia (2009), and Bedoyo Merah Putih (2009). She was awarded as the first female director and dancer by Museum Rekor Indonesia (MURI) in 2008. Their son, Bathara Saverigadi Dewandoro, was also awarded a world record title as the youngest male Javanese dance choreographer in 2013.
One of his most notable creations is called “Gama Gandrung” (Perjalanan Gandrung), a dance which tells a story of gandung dance journey from Banyuwangi, Jawa Timur. “Gama Gandrung” was first performed at Gedung Kesenian Jakarta on 11th of June, 2014.
Swargaloka was first established as an answer to the needs of having an organization that promotes and cultivates the traditional culture among the young generations. Along the road, Swargaloka has gained both national and international recognition through its various performances. At first, Swargaloka was named Swargaloka Art Department. Along its journey, it became Swargaloka Foundation and PT Gita Swargaloka.
This case discusses Swargaloka’s journey from its first establishment. Despite reaching its 24th year in 2017, Swargaloka still has several issues that it needs to solve to be able to survive as a performing-art group. Its audience numbers remain stagnant, and despite attempting to collaborate with and get funding from various institutions, including the government, Suryandoro still found that the organization is still struggling to make the ends meet. This is due to the facts that conducting a performance is a costly endeavor whereas the ticket sales may not always be sufficient to cover the costs of production.
Moreover, Suryandoro also believes that packaging the performance to be more dynamic, attractive, and communicative will enable them to target the younger audiences. However, even though Swargaloka has put significant efforts to repackage a wayang orang performance, it still has not reached a significant number of audiences.
In 2014, the Van Gogh Museum (VGM) had hopes to continue its mission to enrich and inspire as many people as possible by giving access to the museum’s entire collection and knowledge on Vincent van Gogh. In order to achieve this mission, the museum had come up with strategies that made use of the ever-growing digital world, through its web strategy and social media. These strategies were aimed to help the museum reach out to as many of its visitors and non-visitors as possible, and develop constant relationship with them by creating dialogue.
However, like any other businesses, threats and challenges were apparent in the way. The reinstated photography ban by the museum might seem to cause certain threat to the way the museum was going. Especially with the trending term of ‘selfie’ in the digital world in that same year, leading to the birth of the ‘Museum Selfie Day’ project, there was high chance the museum’s strategy might suffer.
This case study seeks to analyze the marketing trends that companies can use to their advantage, and which to solidly avoid, unless done with laser precision. It should provide insight into the perceptions that consumers place upon a company, and how upsetting those perceptions can lead to alienation and isolation.
It focuses particularly on attempts by established companies and institutions to establish or re-establish meaningful communications.
This study investigates trends of advertising in Indonesia's digital publishers. There has been a marked shift in advertising forms which has changed the business of digital publishers in the country. Digital publishers in Indonesia started about 18 years ago, when Detik.com first went online. To support the publishing, they needed advertisers. They had been using what we now call ‘conventional’ advertising, consisting of banners and pop-up advertising placement. However, as the number of digital publishers keeps growing in Indonesia, this type of advertising is slowly being left behind by the publishers. In order to compete with each other, they needed to create something new in order to advertise, that would both attract the advertisers and their consumers. This was when the concept of ‘native’ advertising started to rise.
This case study strives to capture the way Pertamina University (PU), as a token of PT Pertamina's CSR program, generates money as well as attracting talents to cover the employee turnover. This university should be distinguished from the Pertamina Corporate University (PCU) on which employees do the in-house trainings. In contrast, the PU recruits and educate students to catch up the corporate operational standards after which they would work for the corporation.
PT Pertamina relegates their CSR programs through another legal entity called the the Pertamina Foundation (PF). However, the 2012 Government Regulation No. 47 obliges the CEO to executes the CSR program afther which earning the approval from the BOD. In other words, CSR programs should not be run by other organisations whose legal standing are different.
As some, if not most, Indonesians perceive the idea of organisational/corporate social responsibilities as no more than philanthropy, donations or charities, the university might be an example of the best practice of ethical CSR within which the program succeeds to be financially productive, and supporting the corporate business activities.
