Salt is one of the basic needs of Indonesian society. The salt production areas in Indonesia reach 37.4 thousand hectares, but the potential areas are merely around 53.2%. People's salt production has only been able to meet the need for households' daily consumption, while the industrial need is met from imports. The people's salt production needs to be increased to maintain the sustainability of salt farmers' business. Salt farmers require training about the strategies to improve the quality of salt production, manage finished products, and run the salt business independently. Studies on the analysis of the sustainability of people's salt business, particularly in terms of entrepreneurship aspect, are limited. Therefore, this present study analyzes the sustainability of people's salt business entrepreneurship with three triple bottom line criteria: people, planet, and profit. This study aims to formulate the framework of business strategies suitable for the condition of the salt business. The framework is constructed from the factors synthesized from the literature on previous studies. The results of this study are expected to be implemented by the government and business actors in making a decision and setting policies to determine the strategies for maintaining SMEs' salt business sustainability. This study applied the Analytical Network Process (ANP) method to determine the rating of the factors contributing to the continuity of the SMEs' salt business. The factors underlying sustainable entrepreneurship were identified from the literature studies based on the triple bottom line concept adapted to the conditions in Madura. The criteria of people include collaborative development, risk seizing, and innovative thinking, while the requirements of the planet cover eco-friendly packaging and waste controlling. Profit was seen from the aspects of government policy and unsettled finance. Then, the TOPSIS analysis was applied to analyze strategies based on the highest performance score. The results of data analysis show that government policy has the highest score as an alternative, and implementation of an e-supply chain is the strategy with the highest-ranking performance score.

Aims & Objectives Increasing levels of worldwide competition, in part brought about through technological change and innovation, have provided unprecedented challenges for businesses. At the same time, educational providers have faced their own trials in aligning outputs to both governmental and industrial requirements. Whilst arguments exist to signal the reasons behind the educational challenges, models put forth to ease their burden have not always managed to overcome the trials faced. This paper highlights relevant supporting strategic frameworks and proceeds to present a conceptual strategic model arguing for the agile alignment of all elements of the educational process from the point of initiation (Government policy) through to the educated individual in the workplace via the use of the agility concept, and more specifically agile supply chains. It is envisaged this will help to overcome turbulence factors that have historically presented challenges to the sector. Methodology / Theoretical Perspectives From the starting point of agility and more specifically agile supply chains, a thorough literature review has been conducted. The key framework models underpinning this work are identified as: • The Agility Road Map (Ismail et al., 2006) • The framework for agile supply chains (Ismail and Sharifi, 2006) • The Strategic Agility Framework (Ismail et al., 2011) • EFQM Excellence Model (EFQM, 2013) • The extended Ansoff matrix (Sharifi et al., 2006; Sharifi et al., 2013) Key Conclusions and Discussion Educational institutions must be able to deliver academic provision to meet the requirements of both government policy and employers. This task will become more challenging over time - particularly as the rate of change and market demand increases. This paper concludes by presenting a strategic model of the agility concept within educational provision, making it more market-centric and able to adapt to changing needs at relatively short notice. In so doing, it integrates every element of the educational supply chain, incorporating government requirements, data-driven market knowledge, learners and employers, thus reducing waste and improving efficiency within the system as a whole.

Abstract
Corporatisation and privatisation strategies in Australian ports are part of an ongoing microeconomic reform program by Australian governments to establish the maritime sector along commercially viable and competitive bases. Privatisation strategies transfer ports to non-government operators and subsequently operate under regulatory regimes identical to those imposed on any other business. Due to the inability of government to separate commercial imperatives from political control the processes of corporatisation becomes rather complex.
Reform strategies in Australian ports are about removing or distancing governments from day to day commercial operations. This places governments in some dilemma for if they retain ownership Ministers remain accountable. Clearly for government owned businesses to operate like the private sector they must have freedom to respond to market demands and have independence from political constraints. This places on governments the onus to separate commercial and political imperatives. To date, this remains unresolved and, moreover, while port corporatisation is in its infancy, some practices are emerging which are anticompetitive and non-commercial. Thus, they do not reflect freedom from political control.
