BUSINESS PLAN DEVELOPMENT FOR SCIENTISTS: CASE STUDY TSUNAMI W ARNING
Abstract
In order to start a company and commercialize a great technological innovation, it is necessary to develop an effective business plan. The present study proposes the scientific development of such a business plan named “Educational Design Research” (EDR). This EDR plan aims to produce a 2021-2025 methodology for the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the Surabaya State University to address, among other things, the analysis, design, preparation, evaluation, and final reporting, for use in issuing and implementing effectively tsunami warnings in Indonesia. At the design stage of this project, the researchers involved in the present study compiled a business plan based on theory, and provided examples of procedures that could be readily accessed, evaluated and implemented in issuing tsunami warnings. The business plan was developed in close cooperation and thorough discussions with other units of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of the University. The revised business document plan was subsequently provided to a consultant for additional evaluation, recommendations, and revisions. The results of the present study are in the form of a business plan document for adoptation in more effective earthquake and tsunami warnings,using the “Jokotingkir” technology.
