Seminar Internasional ICTSD (International Conference on Technology for Sustainable Development)

The development of communication and information technology brings massive changing impact to society, from basic needs to the need of self-actualization. Currently we are entering industry 4.0 that connects all physical systems with virtual and cyber processes. Human beings keep innovating continuously to obtain a better life by creating invention that can produce something effective and efficient. These days, the world is experiencing disruptions marked by certain indicators: simpler (easier), cheaper (cost less), accessible (more affordable), and faster. In the business world, the fundamental changes occur in all lines of both aspects of production and distribution. Some conditions that characterize disruption era include 1) cost saving through simpler business process; 2) better product quality; 3) disruption has the potentials to create a new market, or turning the exclusive ones to be inclusive; 4) the product/service from disruption should be more accessible or reachable by the users. For example online taxi or online banking services including financial technology, all is now available in our hands, on our smartphone; 5) disruption makes all things smart. Everything is smarter, time-effective and more accurate.
