The result could be concluded that the SWOT analysis to evaluated of Internal Factor and External Factor by using IFI matrix and EFE matrix and formulated into SPACE matrix that the position of the company was cuurently in an aggressive position. Meanwhile the priority being produced by QSPM Matrix is the biggest priority that is market penetration (first strategy). The result from QSPM Matrix calculation was a strategy with the highest weight as to 6,558. Data analysis method used was Matrix QSPM (Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix). Discussion, it can be concluded that the SWOT analysis to evaluate internal and external factors by using matrix EFI and EFE and formulated into the matrix space that the position of the company is currently in an aggressive position.

Pineapple production is spread evenly throughout Indonesia, one of the widest pineapple farming cultivated by small farmers is in Jambi Province. However, the value chain was still a serious obstacle with the lengthy supply chain and existing intermediary traders. The direct survey was conducted in Tangkit village as the biggest pineapple production center. Data collection for this study was conducted during two field visits in September 2018 and June 2019 and continued with interviews in January and February 2020 using a snowball technique with 42 pineapple farmers, and 2 middlemen, 2 local traders, 2 wholesalers from outside the district of Jambi Province and 2 Pineapple processing local home industry players in the Tangkit village. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and completed with secondary data from previous research and literature from the same area. A Porter five forces model is used to develop better strategies by understanding and exploiting the conditions of pineapple farming. Research findings found that the pineapple products only focused on the local market. The pineapple can increase the value chain of pineapple farming by the strengths factor identified from the PFFM model. It will further strengthen the pineapple in the local market and the national market as a strategy to further enhance the competitiveness of the value chain in Jambi province.

Central Lampung is a pineapple production center that supplies fresh pineapples for national demand. On the other hand, Sub-optimal production and marketing, which are still controlled by middlemen, are the main problems in pineapple development. The research aims to identify the potential and needs for innovation, and to formulate a strategy for developing pineapple based on farmer cooperations. The research was conducted from September 2020 in Punggur District, Lampung. Data collection was carried out through a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and in-depth interviews with local champions. The SWOT approach as well as IFE and EFE analysis have been determine to the best strategy. The results showed that farmers used the Queen variety from 1970, so that, the quality production decreased. The innovations needed are mainly related to cultivation (irrigation, crop rotation, control of pests). The existence of Farmer-Owned Enterprises in collaboration with BUMDES has the potential to be rea...

Tamil Nadu leather industry has a strong bearing on the overall leather production of the country. So much so, that fluctuations in Tamil Nadu largely affect the overall performance of the Indian leather industry. Although, the southern region is performing far much better than Northern and Eastern region, there are still some pressing issues which need to be explored, analyzed and solved on a priority basis. Ample research is conducted in analyzing the overall performance of Indian leather industry including the Tamil Nadu cluster, yet the challenges faced by the business especially the small ones have yet not received considerable attention. This paper aims to explore issues prevailing in Tamil Nadu leather industry and understanding their underlying causes. The data has been gathered by conducting indepth interviews with experts in leather industry and crystallized the interview transcript by performing content analysis. Five main themes have been identified including decline in demand for leather products, difficulty in cost reduction, sensitive industrial situation, changing customer orientation and inadequate government support. These themes are then further divided into subthemes which are then analyzed through Analytical Hierarchy Method. Findings reveal that difficulty in cost reduction is the most pressing issue for the industry especially the production and compliance costs. The model proposed by the study highlights the major areas of concern in Tamil Nadu leather industry which need to work out

The article discusses the debate about Michel Foucault's reflection on liberalism and neoliberalism. It presents critically some recent works in France and the USA that has concluded about the existence of affinities, especially theoretical, between Foucault and neoliberalism, pointing out its methodological fragilities. It then seeks to evidence the genealogical specificity that characterizes the Foucaultian analysis in relation at approaches concerned with a kind of ideological denunciation or ideal valuation of liberalism. It particularly retakes the studies of governmentality from which Foucault describes a historical account of liberalism and neoliberalism in terms of governmental rationality. It presents a synthetic figure of the liberal economy of power in the Foucauldian analysis, in which there is a superposition of three historically localizable rationalities: state reason, pastoral power, biopower. The article ends with a reading of the differences between economic liberalism and neoliberalism and the implications of each of them in the exercise of political power.
