TENTH ENTRY

Assalamualaikum J this is the last entry for this blog J

So, what I would like to highlight in this entry is a very thankful and a lot of appreciation to 

Miss Umi and Madam Huda because be my lecturer for this subject, Strategic Management. For me, this subject has very good knowledge that can be apply in business environment. I am so glad because Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia give the opportunity to learn this subject.

Even though this subject have a lot of things to read (a little bit wordy.. hehehe) but this is reality,

before we practice all the knowledge we must know the theory so we will not deviate from the real knowledge. After learn this subject I can know how the company and organization

operate well in this world. The SWOT analysis and TOWS matrix is a good thing that I learn in this subject. It make me think out of the box while do that. Seriously,

 if I am not going to learn this subject I will never know what the strategy used by all the 

company and organization and how their maintain to struggle well in this business.

 The case study gives me a lot of information how the company try to survive and

 make people notice the existence. Business, for me is the challenging field that suitable for

 entrepreneur who dares to take a risk. Like O’Shima sharing session, this is

 one of the best sharing session among Muslim entrepreneur. As a Muslim and we live in the

 Muslim country, but surround with other races, we should know and have awareness what happen within us. That’s why Madam Asnidar (owner of O’Shima) takes the first move to provide Halal Japanese Food. Last but not least, happy to know both of you, till we met again J pray for our success especially examination is around the corner. May Allah Bless J

LITTLE SHARING :)

Berdasarkan hadis Rasulullah S.A.W. daripada Abu Hurairah yang bermaksud:

"Apabila mati seseorang insan, maka akan terputuslah segala amalannya kecuali tiga perkara iaitu; sedekah jariah, ilmu yang dimanfaatkan daripadanya dan doa dari anaknya yang salih"

(Hadis Riwayat Muslim)

Ilmu Yang Dimanfaatkan

Tugas mendidik atau mengajar ilmu kepada orang lain juga adalah amalan sangat mulia di sisi agama. Apabila seseorang mengajar ilmu kepada orang lain dan kemudian orang itu mengajar pula kepada orang lain, itulah yang amat bernilai dan dikira sebagai ilmu yang dimanfaatkan.

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W. yang bermaksud:

"Sesiapa yang menunjukkan suatu kebaikan kepada orang lain, maka baginya pahala yang sama seperti yang diperoleh oleh orang yang membuat kebaikan itu"

(Riwayat Imam Muslim)

"Sesiapa yang mengajak kepada petunjuk (kebaikan), baginya pahala seperti pahala yang diperoleh oleh orang yang mengikut kebaikan itu selepasnya dan tidak akan berkurangan pahalanya walaupun sedikit, dan sesiapa yang mengajak kepada kesesatan maka baginya dosa seperti dosa yang turut diperoleh oleh orang yang membuat dosa selepasnya dan tidak akan berkurangan dosa itu walau sedikit pun"

(Riwayat Imam Muslim"

Thanks once again to Miss Umi and Madam Huda for sharing your experiences, knowledge, stories and all the things that benefit us. Jzkk :) 

NINTH ENTRY

Assalmualaikum J for this entry I would like to share about online forum that I joined in tutorial class J

1) If you are one of the TOP managers, what kind values would like to inculcate in your organization? Why does it so?

Answer:

 for me corporate culture is important in an organization because it will also bring the image of an organization. If an organization can develop the healthy and good corporate culture thats mean the organization have positive environment towards their workers. The good and corporate culture also can attract more potential workers to the organization and can increase the productivity of an organization. For me, as one of the top managers, if I worked in bumiputera oraganization (all Malays) I will try to develop Islamic corporate culture that parallel with vision, mission, or needs of my organization. So they can see the related and the relationship by doing that. For example every morning short motivation and Islamic sharing knowledge. But of I worked with mix races, I will try develop corporate culture that can be accepted to all my employees. I also will try to ensure that the entire employee will respect each other. For example make a festival calendar which have all races festive season and we can do sharing session, pot luck based on their festival.

2) What do you think about motivation and rewards?

Answer:

 for me motivation and reward is two different things. Motivation is what causes us to act. For example if we want to gain knowledge, we have to read book or if we are thirsty, we must get some water to drink. While reward is give something as recognition for their effort, services, or achievement. For example, Aiman got flying colors in examination result, so his father rewards him iphone 5. There are also two different of motivation. Which are extrinsic and intrinsic? Extrinsic is you do the job because you know the reward or you do the job because to avoid punishment. For example, study hard to get the good grade and you clean the room to avoid from scold by your parents. While intrinsic is you do the job because you feel it’s good for your sake rather than the external reward. For example, you join the scrabble competition because you enjoy doing it rather than want to win that competition. Just want to share; I had followed my father attending one of bank rakyat appreciation event. that event will be held once a year. in that event bank rakyat will gives incentives for workers and reward for their loyal employment services start from 10 years, 15 years and so on. i also impressive with that event because they also not reward the workers but also the (anak2 kepada pekerja) who get good result in examination from upsr, pmr, spm, diploma and so on. heee :))

EIGHTH ENTRY

Assalamualaikum to all readers J for this entry I want to share about O’Shima sharing session. 

Full respect to the owner, Madam Asnidar because she have very full of spirit to fight for

 Halal Certificate for her business. I think she is one of the Muslim entrepreneurs

 that willing to operate this business (Japanese Food Restaurant) as her main business.

 Her spirits have to be praised because generally most of the entrepreneur will 

open business that familiar with their surroundings. Sometimes they do not want to

 take a risk to try the new things. According to Madam Asnidar stories, there are no one

 that have Halal Certificate for Japanese Cuisine business. Due to this problem,

 it is because some of the suppliers refuse to get Halal Certificate. So that’s why

 JAKIM cannot confirm the Halal status. But how Madam Asnidar

 overcomes this problem? She makes a move by doing her own brand

 ingredients that will be matching with the original taste.

 I think this is best solution rather than have to order from the supplier that cannot provide Halal status ingredient. Of course behind the success, will be have failure,

 but Madam Asnidar approach it as a challenge for her. An

d the more important is she learned something from that failure J 

 beside operate the restaurant, O’Shima also provide catering for Corporate Business

 such as Daihatsu. She also mentions that she also open class for those who want to

 learn how to make Japanese Cuisine. She also joined food carnival as she wants to

 introduce their business publiclyJ. I hope that O’Shima Restaurant

 and Madam Asnidar will become more success and can faces the challenge calmly.

 Maybe one day, In Shaa Allah. Madam Asnidar makes her 

business as franchise business and this will give opportunity to other entrepreneur.

SEVENTH ENTRY

Assalamualaikum to all readers J for this entry I want to share about TOWS Matrix (Threats, Opportunities, Weaknesses, and Strength). 

TOWS Matrix

This TOWS Matrix is reverse from SWOT Analysis. In SWOT Analysis, we will analyse first strengths and weaknesses then we will analyse last for opportunities and threats.

 In TOWS Matrix, we will analyse first threats and opportunities, and we analyse last weaknesses and strength. After we list all the criteria given,

 we need to combine it or in other words, Madam Huda always said 

“kahwinkan, dan cuba dapatkan anak-anak yang hebat”.

 So we have to combine it such as Strength with Opportunities, Weaknesses with Opportunities, Strength and Threats, and Weaknesses with Threats.

 Madam Huda start teaches us this TOWS Matrix when we do the study case

 “Shall I tag along”. This study case is about how the company wants to

 implement the usage of ICT in their business. 

this is TOWS Matrix for " Shall I tag Along "  that we do together in the class. :)

this is my group TOWS Matrix for piping hotdog :)

Then we continue this TOWS Matrix for another study case which is “Piping Hot Dog”. Usually we do this activity by group because it more easy. Before this we use A4 paper for write this

TOWS Matrix, but in the tutorial class ask for "mahjong" paper to complete it.

 For me this is good activity because this activity will generate our mind to come out with bright ideas. J
