BINUS UNIVERSITY’s extensive international network of partners of higher education institutions as well as businesses enables its students to partake in a wide array of student mobility programmes, internships, and student exchange opportunities.

BINUS UNIVERSITY is committed to delivering unsurpassed student experience services thus the university makes available programmes as well as organisations ranging from Alumni Network and BINUS UNIVERSITY Learning Community. To encourage students in partaking in community development initiatives, BINUS UNIVERSITY has also setup Teach For Indonesia thus enabling enrolled students the opportunity to closely engage with Indonesian society. Under the guidance of the International Office, BINUS UNIVERSITY continues to successfully implement recruitment strategies for international students by offering courses that are taught in English. In the coming years, BINUS UNIVERSITY is aiming to increase the number of enrolled local and international students particularly from China and the ASEAN in keeping with its extensive list of university partners in the aforementioned regions. Currently, BINUS UNIVERSITY offers the BINA NUSANTARA Mandarin Club as well as the Mandarin Literature Student Organisation which strives to facilitate students from Chinese-speaking regions; these clubs also enable students to explore BINUS UNIVERSITY’s diverse cultural background.
“ Even though we remain highly-focused on our students and graduates, we are also committed to BINUS UNIVERSITY’s original purpose as a university which is to educate the entire Indonesian society. ”
The BINUS Case Center has been documenting best business practices since 2007 to help industry branding and create a body of knowledge for the business schools operating in this part of the world.
Mr Sukma Putra, who has an M.Ed., with a specialisation in leadership and management from Flinders University, Australia, has been managing the centre since 2016. He tells us the story behind this important initiative.
Why has BINUS opened a case study center?
At BINUS UNIVERSITY, we develop curricula and teaching methods that support student-centred learning, especially for our international programs. We keep our classes small, encourage design thinking, and project-based learning. As the world’s leading business schools rely on industry case studies to analyze business problems, we have decided to develop our own case studies to support the BINUS BUSINESS SCHOOL in better understanding Indonesia’s business environment.
How are case studies created?
Initially, a prominent company or a startup will approach us with a request to document how they overcame certain challenges or harnessed opportunities. Our centre compiles the information into a “case study” to our faculty. The case study may have up to three writers and one reviewer who will inspect the quality by combining best practices taken from different leading business schools. The case study is normally completed within three months provided we are given access to the relevant persons to conduct 3-5 interviews.
We place emphasis on engaging writing in telling the story of every case study, consisting of an opening, a general background, a specific area of interest, business problems and solutions, and a conclusion. The case studies can be created strictly for the internal needs of the company or for public use.
How does the BINUS Case Center contribute to sustainable business practices?
Glimpses of best business practices may be captured in news articles, but strategy examples are rarely fully documented. Through the BINUS Case Center, we create a library of the best business practices for all sectors in Indonesia, ranging from finance to banking to economics to people management, among many others. So far, we have developed 232 case studies that have touched upon many issues surrounding sustainability.
For instance, our case study on Conwood Indonesia tells the story of Mr Derek Williamson, a BINUS alumnus, who applied design thinking to shift the company from manufacturing uncompetitive products to really harness the company’s strength of working with “con-wood” materials. Now, Conwood offers houses that can be quickly assembled and are flood, earthquake and fire-resistant.
What is the best way to contact the BINUS Case Center?
Given the background of our diverse faculty, BINUS is ready to support case study analysis in the field of economics, people management, innovation, entrepreneurship, marketing and strategy management.
The best way to inquire about case studies is through our email binuscasecenter@binus.edu.
