Dr. Nisful Laila, SE., M.Com. (Deputy Dean 2 FEB UNAIR) moderated the webinar event in collaboration with 27 universities from ASEAN countries, with the topic "Strengthening the Internationalization of Southeast Asian Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in 4.0 Era" with the team from FEB UNAIR, namely Prof. Dr. Raditya Sukmana, SE., MA., Dr. Achsania Hendratmi, SE., M.Sc., Shochrul Rohmatul Ajija, SE., M.Ec.
This international scale webinar discusses how to strengthen the internationalization of Southeast Asia's micro, small & medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the era 4.0, where the corona virus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic has triggered a massive global crisis that has never happened before and significant impact on the Southeast Asian economy. MSMEs in Southeast Asia, like those around the world, have been greatly affected by the pandemic. In contrast to large companies, MSMEs are often challenged by financial constraints. As a result, these are challenging times for many MSMEs in ASEAN and around the world.
"Serving as a moderator at a webinar event resulting from collaboration between 27 universities from ASEAN countries was enjoyable even though the preparations were quite long and detailed because it was carried out online with an inter-country committee. Every night there was a meeting to ensure VIPs came, ensure the technology used was safe, formulate an implementation plan and to conducting a survey of 400 participants who attended from various countries," said Nisful.
