Determine Priority Problems in Developing Entrepreneurship for Students using ANP Method: Indonesia-Malaysia Case

Abstract

The problem of unemployment for university alumni still tends to occur in both Indonesia and Malaysia, even though entrepreneurship education has been taught, this is certainly against the wishes of the two federal governments. This study aims to determine the most important priorities in developing entrepreneurship for students, a case in Politeknik Negeri Medan-Indonesia
and another case in Politeknik Nilai, Negeri Sembilan Malaysia, using ANP Method. The research was implemented first by building ANP Model; decomposing the problem through literature review, designing questionnaires, then conducting FGD with 7 expert participants to ensure the suitability of the constructed model, after which questionnaires were filled out to 25 participants
from both institutions. Second, by quantifying the model in the Super Decision software application, and third, synthesis of the results was carried out by calculating the value of Kendall's coefficient, then the results were interpreted. The result shows that the main problems consisted of 2 main aspects, namely internal problems consisting of performance problems, intention, lack of knowhow, and external problems consisting of lecture, learning method, government support, and industry problems. The overall problem decomposition shows priority results, they are 1) the lack of know-how; 2) Total sale; 3) Career intention is the highest priority external problem; 4) learning method; 5) lecturer; 6) industry and; 7) government. The overall problem decomposition shows priorities in the sub-criterion results, they are Business Plan is the highest priority in the sub-criterion of Lack of KnowHow Problem, Experience in the Lecturer problem, Project based in the Learning Method problem, Funding support in the Government and training in the Industry. The level of agreement based on Kendall‟s coefficient indicates that the value of Kendall‟s (W) is between 0.0329-0.36. The conclusion of this study shows that the priority problem in internal problems is the Lack of know-how, and in the external problem is the learning method.
