Membangun Sinergi: Menelisik Strategi Komunikasi Dalam Kemitraan Bogasari-UMKM Kuliner
Abstract
This study examines the urgency of a partnership between PT. Indofood Sukses Makmur Tbk.'s Bogasari Flour Mills Division in DKI Jakarta and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector. This mutualistic symbiotic relationship is being pursued optimally through a well-planned communication strategy, incorporating appropriate communication planning and management. A qualitative case study approach is employed in this research. The results reveal that Bogasari is strategically planning its partnership with culinary MSMEs based on principles of mutually beneficial interdependence, flexibility, relationship quality, and information sharing. The partnership is implemented through the Core-Plasma partnership model, involving training, socialization, guidance, bazaars, and recognition awarded to MSMEs. The benefits derived from this collaboration include enhanced value, quality, innovation, improved access to capital, and increased trustworthiness. Challenges faced encompass a lack of innovation, motivation, and educational resources among MSME partners. Culinary MSMEs engage in a partnership with Bogasari to access guidance, development, creativity, competitiveness, productivity, and income growth. This research provides valuable insights into the significance of such mutually advantageous partnerships between large corporations and culinary MSMEs, contributing to sustainable economic growth.
