CALL FOR PAPER TIIMI 2009
TIIMI 2009 INDONESIAN STUDENT INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE 2009
(Temu Ilmiah Internasional Mahasiswa Indonesia 2009)
Indonesian Student Association in the United Kingdom (PPI-UK)
has been successfully and continuously organising the Indonesian
Student International Scientific Conference over the past three years.
This year, the conference focuses on Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) in
Indonesia.
Small and Medium Enterprise in Indonesia
Despite
the absence of an established definition of SME in the Indonesian
context, SMEs have indeed been playing an important role in
Indonesia’s economic growth and development.
In hindsight, particularly it was since the Asian economic calamity
that hit the country back in 1997 that SMEs gained more attention as
they have been proven to be the resilient to the crises. The
survival of the Indonesian economy during the whole economic
predicament, up to the point when the country started to recover, to a
large part owed to the SME sector.
Now a decade after
the Asian economic crisis, when the world economy is
again badly hit by another recession, we revisit the importance of
SMEs. Clearly, the development of SME is now an important concern as it
influences the national development in a larger scale than before.
Taking up this concern into our endeavour, we are proposing
this year’s TIIMI Conference theme:
Small and Medium Enterprises in Indonesian Development
Multi-dimensional Perspective
·
The
conference
aims to provide an intellectual forum to exchange ideas around the role
of SMEs in the Indonesian development. As the conference gathers
Indonesian intellectuals across different fields, the focus is to
collect various points of view and expertises and then position them in
order to better understand the development of SMEs in the country. The
conference also anticipates some discussion on the facilitating and
hindering factors of SMEs development, again from different
perspectives. Then, it aspires to lead the discussion towards the path,
or roadmap, of the future prospects of SMEs in Indonesia. This way, not
only will the conference be beneficial as an academic exchange forum,
but it will be more significantly contributing to the debate of SME’s
development in Indonesia.
As
inferred from the above rationale, this conference is calling for
contribution from any fields of study to engage into the discussion of
the multi-dimensional perspective of SME’s development, which is to
include, but not limited to:
a. Economic dimension
1. Economic assumptions/ model/paradigms
2. Finance and accounting
3. Econometrics data, trend and pattern
4. Management and administration
5. Social responsibilities
6. Other economic dimensions related to SMEs; please propose.
b. Technological dimension
1. Technological change and environment
2. Innovation and innovative processes
3. Technology transfer
4. Technology management
5. Technology and society
6. Other technological dimensions underpinning SME’s development; please
propose.
c. Social and cultural dimension
1. Globalisation
2. Intellectual Property
3. Health insurance
4. Education for society
5. Youth development
6. Other social and cultural dimensions affecting the dynamics of SMEs;
please propose.
d. Political and policy dimension
1. Government agenda and public policies
2. National stability
3. Political reform
4. Political support and interest
5. Political security development
6. Other political and policy dimensions governing and shaping SME’s
development; please propose.
We call for appropriate abstracts, which should follow specifications.

each paper will be commented by appointed discussants, participants,
and relevant chair (who is member of the Reviewer Board) who will be

publication purpose. Each presenter will also act as a discussant for
another presenter in the same panel. The board of reviewers will
