Well, the result was there were 30 (thirty) companies whose performance even increased, at the time of the second crisis. The company has been selected by Team ITB77 and granted the title as Indonesia’s Tough Corporation.
In addition to selecting Indonesia’s Tough Corporations, this research is also continued by looking for tips, the reasons why the company can be tough and survive.
In the book “Indonesian Tough Corporations” is also discussed how this company can survive. For example related to how the company’s business focus, innovation, customer culture, customer service, human resource management and also financial management.
