I. Introduction
I.1 Batik Keris
Batik Keris is an Indonesian batik and handicraft producer and retailer. Based in Solo,
Central Java, we are the nation's capital of Indonesian arts. Batik Keris is a company that has
long with experience that has been decades. Starting from the home industry to thrive to this
day. Batik Keris is one of the largest Indonesian batik which includes traditional batik factory,
garment, and the stores are spread throughout Indonesia. From the beginning of its
establishment, Batik Keris highly stressed quality, including the first export and promotion
abroad. The company's philosophy is to preserve Indonesian culture through clothing (batik,
ikat, lurit, etc.) and craft with targets upper middle market and they sell at a reasonable price.In
accordance with its vision as " Nusantara Craft Center ", Batik Keris provides a variety of
cultural archipelago to craft products that follow the trend, in which a collection of silk women,
slim fit collection, teenager, professionals, and families. Batik Keris was first established in
1947, when the late Kasom Tjokrosaputro and his wife, Mrs. Gaitini, after marriage began
trading batik. Previously, they get to know and learn batik from parents Mr. Kasom
Tjokrosaputro. And then they opened a batik shop named " Keris " in Jl . Kom. Yos Sudarso
( No. Nonongan Jl. . 62 ) in Solo. After that, development occurs with the establishment of
factories in the area Kemlayan bati, Solo. Indonesian society, traditional batik is associated with
two methods of batik production using traditional manual system of Indonesia, namely the stamp
and write. Both methods use traditional tools such as canthing and stamp of the various specific
areas to make special motifs from various regions in Indonesia. Obviously, traditional batik
production takes longer than the batik print, where the motive is designed using a computer and
almost always produced in large quantities by machine.

The development of batik exports have wide impact for Indonesia , not only can generate
foreign exchange but can also create new jobs. Batik as an economic commodity, can not be
separated from economic law, like other commodities, is regarding price, cost, efficiency , and
soon. It means the government can not force people to dress batik cultural reasons. Batik
products must have a competitive edge against other textile products. Until now, the typical
Indonesian batik motifs is difficult to be plowed, even today demand to continue to grow both
the consumers in the country and abroad . But a lot of batik is batik asked the market with
commercial value, nice style , competitive prices and satisfying products. During this Indonesian
batik exports to many countries such as Europe , United States, Singapore, Thailand , Africa ,
and other countries .
Batik Indonesia already has a name in the international world. However, the economic
outlook for the future batik remains heavily dependent on the expertise of the role of batik
entrepreneurs and traders in the production process, because of that I want to export Batik Keris
to Singapore
I.3 Why Choose Singapore ?
Indonesia and Singapore relations are foreign bilateral relations between Republic of
Indonesia and Republic of Singapore. Over the years, Indonesia and Singapore have maintained
regular exchanges of high-level visits. The relations are underpinned by strong economic
cooperation. In the past few years, Singapore has consistently been Indonesia's top foreign
investor. Singapore and Indonesia also cooperate across a wide range of sectors, including
health, defence and the environment. The relations between Indonesia and Singapore are
stemmed from proximity. Singapore is one of the nearest neighboring country of Indonesia. The
city-state nation is engulfed by Indonesian territory in west, south, and east, sandwiched between
Malaysia and Indonesia. Both nations are the founders of ASEAN, the members of Non-Aligned
Movement and APEC.

Singapore is known for its pro-business environment, capable of attracting sizable foreign
investments and business entrepreneurs. In Singapore, we can turn our ideas into businesses
with ease, and achieve significant profits. In stark contrast to many Western nations, it only
takes about 1-2 days to incorporate a company in Singapore, with the government providing
assistance along the way. Simply stated, Singapore is the easiest place in the world to set up and
manage a business.
Singapore poses as a lucrative business destination due to many advantages, including
geographical location of the country, well developed infrastructure, availability of both
international and domestic transportation, a natural seaport that has stood as world’s one of the
largest for several decades and many others which have contributed towards the commercial
importance of Singapore. The world Bank in its report "Doing Business 2007" rates Singapore as
the best country where it is easy to conduct various businesses and trade. Singapore also features
on the 1st place according to KPMG Competitive Alternatives Study, 2006 for being “World’s
most cost-competitive place for doing business.
Products and variety of Indonesian batik has become an important industry in the textile,
garment, fashion, decorative arts and crafts. Batik exports to several countries such as the U.S.,
Australia, Canada, Ireland, UK, Japan, UAE, Singapore, Spain, Denmark, France, Belgium,
Taiwan, Mexico and Italy.

II. International Market
II.1 Foreign Market Entry Mode
When an organisation has made a decision to enter an overseas market, there are a variety
of options open to it. These options vary with cost, risk and the degree of control which can be
exercised over them. The simplest form of entry strategy is exporting using either a direct or
indirect method such as an agent, in the case of the former, or countertrade, in the case of the
latter. Exporting is the process of selling of goods and services produced in one country to other
countries, here are two types of exporting, direct and indirect.
To enter Batik Keris in Sinagpore, I choose direct exports, because it is the most basic mode
of exporting made by a company, capitalizing on economies of scale in production concentrated
in the home country and affording better control over distribution. Direct export works the best if
the volumes are small. Large volumes of export may trigger protectionism. The main
characteristic of direct exports entry model is that there are no intermediaries.
Advantages of direct exporting :
In control of pricing.
In full control of your brand.
Get a direct understanding of buyers' or end users' needs and an ability to customise
accordingly.
Maintain the customer relationship.
Able to identify possible new opportunities.
Customers may prefer dealing directly with the producer.
We have total control over the negotiations and transactions. The patents, copyrights
and trademarks are protected in a more effective way. Since the dealings are done
personally, we also get a better sense of the market
6
Disadvantages of direct exporting :
It requires a lot of time, energy, staff resources and money.
Competitors with a local presence will be perceived as lower risk to buy from.
After-sales commissioning and service may require local language capability.
Daily follow up of genuine leads in-market can come second to business based in New
Zealand.
Remote troubleshooting may not be possible, requiring additional visits.
II.2 Doing Business in Singapore
Singapore is a world-class city to conduct business, work, live and play. The globally
connected, multi-cultural and cosmopolitan city-state offers a conducive environment to creative
and knowledge-driven industries. Singapore’s particular competitive factors which set it apart
from other locations are:
o Trust : Integrity, quality, reliability, productivity, a strong legal system
o Knowledge : Knowledge-based manufacturing and services
o Connected : Physical connectivity as well as people and business networks, and
o Life : An excellent place to live, work, learn and play
Global businesses will find it advantageous to site their headquarters in Singapore. Strong
trade and investment makes Singapore the most competitive Asian country . The World Bank
also ranks the Republic as the world’s easiest place to do business. By situating their
international HQs here, companies benefit from Singapore’s network of over 50 comprehensive
Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements. They also gain from Singapore’s many free trade
agreements and the 35 Investment Guarantee Agreements. These FTAs have enable Singapore to
establish a network to countries that contribute at least 60% of global GDP. Companies can
always rely on protection of their ideas and innovations through Singapore’s rigorous
enforcement of its strong intellectual property laws.

II.3 Registration Process
All businesses must be registered with the Accounting & Corporate Regulatory Authority
(ACRA). This includes any individual, firm or corporation that carries out business for a foreign
company. Most exporters usually begin by exporting directly. In this common where Singapore
receives an order from an overseas buyer and subsequently sells directly overseas to that buyer.
A direct export situation occurs when Batik Keris have custody of the goods to be exported
and control over the export arrangement.
Examples of direct export scenarios include:
We export the goods via our freight forwarder/handling agent/postal or courier company
and invoice overseas customer.
We export the goods via our freight forwarder/handling agent upon instruction of local
customer and invoice local customer.
Our goods are consolidated by freight forwarder/handling agent before the goods are
exported and invoice overseas customer.
Once you have successfully registered your business, there are some important rules and
regulations that you will have to observe in the course of running your business.
II.4 Customs Regulations
In Singapore valuation for customs purposes is based on the Customs Valuation Code
(CVC). The primary basis for Customs value is the transaction value of the imported goods when
sold for export to Singapore. Where goods are dutiable ad valorem or specific rates may be
applied. An ad valorem rate, which is most commonly applied, is a percentage of the Customs
value of the imported goods. A specific rate is a specified amount per unit of weight of other
quantity.

II.5 Business In Singapore
Doing business in Singapore can be tricky for newly-arrived expats. There are a lot of social
rules and protocols you should abide by if you don’t want to offend your business partners. This
paper tells about all you need to know about doing business in Singapore, including dos and
don’ts.
Singapore is probably the most heavily Western-influenced of all the major Asian
economies and, as such, presents a sometimes confusing mix of solidly traditional Asian values
and ultra modern business techniques. Singapore is an eclectic mix of ethnic Chinese, Malays,
Indians and global expatriates and is therefore difficult to categorise. What is true of the ethnic
Chinese approach may be very different in an Indian-oriented company or the regional
headquarters of a major MNC.
Business structures tend towards the hierarchical with decisions made at the top by senior
management before being cascaded down the chain. It is unusual for people to display open
disagreement with a decision made. Any debate would be held in private. Ensure that people of a
similar status deal with senior people. Do not show disrespect by expecting them to deal with
younger, more junior colleagues. Age is respected and managers tend to be older. As with all
Asian countries, age brings automatic respect and it is more difficult for younger people to
interface as equals at senior management level.
Managers expect and receive respect. In return for that respect they take a holistic interest in
the all-round well being of subordinates. Performance determines promotion within an
organisation - except within family firms where family bonds are strongly felt. Harmony is
sought in meeting situations and everything should be done to promote and maintain that
harmony. Remember the importance of safeguarding 'face'. Relationships are the key in
Singapore and relationships become difficult if people have lost face.

II.6 Etiquette In Singapore
Business etiquette is an integral part of different countries' and regions' business culture.
Etiquette encompasses the prescriptive elements of culture the things people are expected to do
and say, or to avoid doing and saying. As the globalization of industries and marketplaces bring
managers ever closer to unique cultures around the world, it is more important than ever for
managers and small business owners to understand why business etiquette is important.
Good business etiquette allows your business to put its best foot forward and can protect
business owners and employees from internal and external conflicts by setting a high standard
for behavior by all. Business etiquette is a set of standards for behavior in which individuals treat
everyone respectfully and display good manners in all interactions. Proper etiquette sets a tone
for clients and customers that the business has a productive and successful environment, and the
impression created when everyone displays professional manners helps the company's
profitability.

III. Strategy Analysis
III.1 Definition of SWOT
A tool that identifies the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of an organization.
Specifically, SWOT is a basic, straightforward model that assesses what an organization can and
cannot do as well as its potential opportunities and threats. The method of SWOT analysis is to
take the information from an environmental analysis and separate it into internal (strengths and
weaknesses) and external issues (opportunities and threats). Once this is completed, SWOT
analysis determines what may assist the firm in accomplishing its objectives, and what obstacles
must be overcome or minimized to achieve desired results.
In many competitor analysis, marketers build detailed profiles of each competitor in the
market, focusing especially on their relative competitive strengths and weaknesses using SWOT
analysis. Marketing managers will examine each competitor's cost structure, sources of profits,
resources and competencies, competitive positioning and product differentiation, degree of
vertical integration, historical responses to industry developments, and other factors.
Marketing management often finds it necessary to invest in research to collect the data
required to perform accurate marketing analysis. Accordingly, management often conducts
market research (alternately marketing research) to obtain this information. The usefulness of
SWOT analysis is not limited to profit-seeking organizations.
SWOT analysis may be used in any decision-making situation when a desired end-state
(objective) has been defined. Examples include: non-profit organizations, governmental units,
and individuals. SWOT analysis may also be used in pre-crisis planning and preventive crisis
management. SWOT analysis may also be used in creating a recommendation during a viability
study/survey.

III.3 Marketing Mix 4P’s of Batik Keris
Marketing or more commonly referred to as Marketing is an integrated communications is
the process of preparation that aims to provide information about the goods or services in
relation to satisfying the needs and desires of humans. Marketing begins with the fulfillment of
human needs which later grew into the human desire. But humans do not just want to meet their

14
Process in the fulfillment of human needs and desires that is the concept of marketing.
Ranging from product, price, Promotion, Place. The marketing mix is generally accepted as the
use and specification of the 4P's explaining the strategy at the point of purchase.
Category Explanation
Product
In business, products or services are goods that can be traded. In marketing, a
product is anything that can be offered to a market and can satisfy a want or
need. The important thing to remember when offering items to customers is
that they have a choice. They have a large number of ways to spend their money
and where to spend it. Therefore, places enough on developing that customers
want. Market research establish exactly what this is. However, customer needs
change over time. What is appropriate and attractive today or tomorrow is no
longer interesting. Marketing continually monitor customer preferences.
Price
Customer perception of value is an important determinant of the price charged.
Drawing customers themselves about what the product is worth it. A product
has more value than physical items, also has psychological connotations for the
customer. Dangers of using low price as a marketing tool is that customers may
feel that quality is being compromised. It is important when deciding on the
price is fully aware of the brand and integrity. Further consequences of the
decline in prices is that the competitor in accordance with the price so there is
no additional demand. This means that the average benefit has been reduced
without increasing sales.
Promotion
Promotional aspects of marketing integration covers all types of marketing
communications . Methods include advertising , sometimes known as 'above the
line ' activity. In TV ads , radio, online , posters and news sites ( newspapers ,
magazines). What distinguishes advertising from other marketing
communications is that media owners paid before advertising can take up space
in the medium . Other promotional methods include sales promotion , point of
sale display , merchandising.
Skills in marketing communications is to develop a campaign that uses some of
15
these methods in a way that provides the most effective results . For example ,
TV advertising makes people aware of food items and press advertising
provides more detail . This can be supported by in-store promotions to get
people to try the product and collectable promotional device to encourage them
to continue buying the item . It's important that the message is communicated
mutually supportive and not confuse customers . A thorough understanding of
what the brand represents is the key to a consistent message .
The goal of most marketing communications is to move the target group for
some kind of action . It is possible to : buy products, recommend a friend or a
choice to increase the purchase of items of Batik.
Place
Place in mixing in marketing, not just about the physical location or distribution
points for products. This includes the management of the various processes
involved in bringing products to the end consumer. and in the end consumers
will settle for products that are presented by Batik Keris.

IV. Conclusion
The management of business operations for an organization that conducts business in more
than one country. International management requires knowledge and skills above and beyond
normal business expertise, such as familiarity with the business regulations of the nations in
which the organization operates, understanding of local customs and laws, and the capability to
conduct transactions that may involve multiple currencies. In doing entry mode to foreign
countries such as Singapore, Batik Keris certainly need to take some steps his role in running a
business to export their product. Such as the steps of doing business in the country, how to
register and do's and don's of doing in that country. On the other hand batik keris should be able
to analyze its business strategy, such as swot analysis and marketing mix.
