“…Business competency has become a fundamental aspect in every competencies framework for professionals in the education, maritime and supply chain industry ( Van Dam et al, 2010 ; Thai, 2012 ; Chen et al, 2018 ; SkillsFuture, 2020a ). In this age of rapid advancements, educators serve more than producers of knowledge, and they are expected to act as entrepreneurs themselves ( Johnson, 2004 ).…”

“…This increases the need for highly trained individuals with sufficient skills to perform maritime specific business-related roles. Traditionally, higher education institutions offer maritime business courses to provide learners with the relevant skills and prepare them for jobs in the maritime sectors ( Chen et al, 2018 ).

In light of digitalization, the objectives of this study are to (1) identify the emerging, core competencies of maritime business educators (MBE) and (2) examine their effects on perceived teaching performance. A systematic review of the contemporary literature was first performed to build a competency framework. Subsequently, an online survey was administered to 196 faculty members of the top 10 leading maritime universities as identified from the Worldwide Maritime School Rankings produced by Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The collected data were analyzed using Exploratory Factor Analysis to extract the main competencies of MBE. The results uncovered five key competencies from 22 sub-competencies. Thereafter, Hierarchical Regression Modeling was used to examine the effects of the key competencies on perceived teaching performance. After controlling for teaching experience and job position, it was found that the five competency requirements, in descending order of their importance, have significant positive effects on teaching performance: Pedagogy, Maritime, Interpersonal, Business and Digital. Academically, this study consolidates the literature and identifies the emerging core competencies that are expected from MBE in the digital era. The study also implicates education policy formulation, offering directions for institutions to allocate their resources, develop suitable training and assessment programs, and facilitate benchmarking.

Salah satu misi Gubernur Nusa Tenggara Barat (era 2018-2023) adalah mendorong industrialisasi. Sementara itu, perhatian terhadap sektor perikanan belum diberi porsi yang memadai untuk menjawab kebutuhan tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini menjelaskan peluang pengembangan perikanan di NTB sebagai bahan baku industri. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode kualitatif dengan melakukan wawancara terhadap ahli dibidang perikanan, terdiri dai akademisi dan dinas perikanan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan potensi perikanan NTB masih relatif besar, baik dalam usaha tangkap (off shore) maupun budidaya. Beberapa kendala seperti sumber daya manusia (SDM) yang rendah, infrastruktur perikanan yang belum memadai, pengawasan dan penegakan hukum atas praktik ilegal fishing belum maksimal, dukungan fiskal yang rendah dan koordinasi di antara para pemangku kepentingan yang belum maksimal juga perlu diselesaikan. Pembangunan industri menuju klaster industri maritim (ICM) dapat disarankan untuk dibangun.
