puisi

kehidupan


Kadang aku ingin sendiri dan sepi
Tapi kadang aku ingin gaduh dan ramai
Aku ingin hidup yang berwarna
Tak monoton menjalaninya

Tapi kadang semua jauh dari harapan
Mungkin karena terlalu banyak permintaan
Atau aku yang tidak bersyukur akan kehidupan
Apa aku harus terima ini takdir kehidupan

Semua memang harus di jalani
Pahit, perih ,penat kehidupan ini
Sampai akhir nanti
Sampai semunya telah mati




Cinta itu….


Ketika semua telah pergi
Apa kau bisa membalikan kembali
Ketika semua hancur
Apa kau bisa Memperbaiki kembali

Ketika penyesalan datang
apa yang kau lakukan
ketika kau menangis
apa yang kau pikirkan

cinta itu karma
karma untuk yang menyakiti
kadang cinta itu rumit untuk dijalani
cinta itu palsu

cinta itu kotor dan penuh nafsu
cinta itu munafik
cinta itu pelik
cinta itu bohong



cinta tak terbalas


misteri cinta adalah tantangan
tantangan untuk mengungkapkan
bertepuk sebelah tangan adalah halangan
halangan yang harus ditaklukan

cinta menguras otak dan pikiran
cinta membalas lewat gerakan
disaat tak ada getaran
getaran cinta yang dirasakan

aku tersadar semua memang kosong
hati mu polos tak ada guratan namu ku
rasa itu memang jauh entah dimana
atau rasa itu tak akan pernah singgah di hatimu

dan tak pernah ada untuk ku
untuk saat ini dan selamanya
buat aku pesimis ketika memikirkannya
dan buat aku seperti pengemis cinta di buatnya

gadis ku buka pintu hati mu buat ku
akan ku tanam benih cinta di hati mu
karena aku cinta kamu
karena aku ingin kamu

beri aku waktu untuk buktikan semua itu
untuk buktikan aku cinta
untuk buktikan aku sayang
untuk buktikan aku akan menjaga mu
















mimpi

hati ku slalu bertanya-tanya
dan aku slalu berpikir dalam benak ku
apa itu mimpi?
Apa bisa jadi kenyataan

Jika bisa pasti tak seperti membalikan telapak tangan
Atau mungkin sebuah kebetulan
Atau takdir yang menentukan
Takdir yang membuat mimpi itu jadi kenyataan

Adakalanya aku ingin sebuah mimpi terjadi
Adakalanya aku ingin sebuah mimpi itu tak terjadi
Tapi hidup ini harus nyata terjadi
Bukan hanya berangan-angan dan bermimpi


Cinta telah menjauh

Cinta pergi menjauh dari hidup ku
Cinta tak lagi menghiasi hidup ku
Cinta buat ku hampa
Cinta buat ku menderita

Terlalu tragis jika kau banyangkan seperti teriris
Tapi pantas jika sedikt miris
Datang wahai gadis manis
Hiasi hidupku yang mulai tak manis

Cerah kan aku
Warnai aku
Datanglah cinta ku..
Jangan kau menjauh dari ku

Aku dengan sabar menanti mu
Hingga jenuh hati ku
Dan bangun dari tidur ku
Sadar Bahwa memang cinta bukan untuk ku

Pinta ku hanya satu pada-MU
Satu kan aku dalam cinta
Cinta yang kekal
Dan abadi selamanya

puisi

HAMPA, PENAT DAN MATI RASA


Hampa hati ku…
saat ini sepi
sendiri aku dengan penat ku
cinta telah hilang, datang dan pergi

seakan smua tidak menghiraukan
ingin aku berteriak di atas kepenatan
dalam benak hanya ada asa
yang hilang entah kemana

disini aku berdiri menanti suatu yang tak pasti
entah kapan rasa itu akan kembali
hanya keajaiban yang akan kembalikan semua
seperti sediakala

dimana cinta itu mulai kembali
dan hadir untuk slamanya
akan ku jaga hingga akhir nanti
sampai semua hilang dan lenyap dari dunia

dunia yang palsu
yang penuh dengan kemunafikan
dan kebohongan
yang membuat hampa, penat dan mati rasa


AKHIR DARI SEMUA

aku terdiam ketika itu
aku terbata-bata tak bisa bicara
aku hanya termenung ketika itu
aku berfikir tentang semua

semua yang harusnya tidak aku fikirkan
malam itu, malam yang melancolis
mendayu-dayu lagu cinta
mengiringi di atas kepedihan ku

hidup memang untuk memilih
bukan untuk penyesalan
memang ini jalan mu
jalan hidup mu


akhir dari semua
perjalanan cinta yang dulu indah
sekarang tinggal kenangan
yang mungkin akan terlupakan

aku yakin kau akan bahagia dengannya
aku yakin kau akan tersenyum dengannya
kau akan dapatkan
dan meraih impian mu

berharap kau akan sejati dengannya
maaf jika aku tak bisa bahagikan kamu dulu
maaf jika aku tak bisa menjadi seperti yang kau minta
maaf kan aku yang dulu


ALAM

alam itu suatu keindahan
yang tak bisa di ungkapkan
semilir angin yang meniup helai rambut ku
membuatku merasa damai

barisan pohon yang rindang berjajar rapi
hijau dan indah
ketika ku menatap semua dari ketinggian
dari puncak gunung gede pangrango semua terlihat kecil dan kerdil

di atas kuasa TUHAN
manusia pun tak mampu melawan alam
manusia hanya mampu antisipasi
sebelum semua terjadi

aku melihat air yang jatuh dari ketinggian
sangat deras tapi tetap indah
kuasa TUHAN
semua bisa terjadi

Simple Plan - Perfect

Simple Plan - Perfect Lyric



Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
Do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
but it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spend with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you, proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Digoda Si Cantik Penunggu Perempatan

Digoda Si Cantik Penunggu Perempatan


Lima belas tahun yang lalu, tatkala aku hendak pulang kuliah dari lokasi kampus yang berada di kawasan Sampangan, Semarang seringkali aku melakukan kegiatan rutin, yakni mampir dulu untuk sekedar mencari hiburan.
Waktu itu, waktunya agak malam dikit, kebetulan ada kuliah umum sehingga rada lama selesainya. Kebetulan malam itu film di bioskop di kawasan Metro cukup mengundang filmnya. Akhirnya lepas kuliah yang satu, yang satu ke perkuliahan lainnya maksudnya nonton bioskop.
Pertunjukan dimulai jam 10.00 malam, dan film yang diutar cukup menegangkan. Sekitar 100 menit jantung ini dibuat ngap-ngap’an menikmati adegan film. Kelar nonton, buru-buru ngejar omprengan alias angkutan umum pengganti di waktu malam.
Saat itu, aku menunggu omprengan di depan perempatan Peterangan yang cukup
lenggang karena udah hampir jam 12 malam. Cuma beberapa orang yang berseliweran, tampak juga mobil-mobil yang biasa lalu-lalang cukup padat, malam itu hanya ada beberapa saja yang melintas.
Pikiran sudah melayang entah kemana bersamaan asap rokok yang mengepul dari mulut. Beberapa menit berselang ada suara halus menegurku dari belakang, cukup mengagetkan memang. Tapi di satu sisi seperti percaya gak percaya ternyata dia wanita muda putih dan cantik. Lalu kita memulai percakapan dengan beberapa pertanyaan,
“Mau kemana mas,” tanya lembut
“Karangayu,” jawabku sopan banget deh
“Kamu sendiri kemana mbak, ” tanyaku kemudian.
“Tanjungmas, mau nganter ” tawarnya penuh mempesona
“Kenapa nggak!”
Nggak lama kemudian, kami menuju angkutan tujuan ke Tanjungmas, aneh tiba-tiba saja kendaraan itu melaju, meskipun tidak ada penumpang lain, tapi aku nggak perduli yang ada hanya kebanggaan yang luar biasa, ternyata orang seperti aku bisa juga berkenalan dengan wanita cantik seperti dia.
Anehnya, hanya dalam hitungan menit, kami sampai di pintu pelabuhan Tanjungmas. Sampailah kami berdua kesuatu tempat, dimana di sana ada gardu listrik yang besar dan jalan masuk ke sebuah perkampungan yang sunyi, kamipun akhirnya tiba di rumah si cantik itu.
Tiba di rumah, aku disuguhi beberapa potong kue dan air minum, tapi semuanya tak kuperdulikan karena mata, tangan dan tatapan ini tak mau lepas darinya. Seperti tersadar aku beristighfar. Lantas aku segera pamit pulang, tapi si wanita cantik itu menahanku dengan keras.
Tapi aku tak mau kalah, dengan berbagai cara aku harus segera meninggalkan rumah itu. Terus-menerus mulutku berkomat kamit mengucapkan Asma Allah. Namun saat
pulang aku menjadi kebingungan. Jalan yang tadi ternyata areal pertambakan dan semak belukar. Meski panik, aku terus beristighfar, Alhamdulillah ada suara adzan, dan tidak lama kemudian aku melihat lampu jalanan di seberang yang menandakan menuju jalan pulang. Alhamdulillah berkat suara adzan aku selamat dari sergapan hantu wanita tersebut.

adjective clause

At a certain point in your writing in English, you should be able to identify every sentence you write as simple, compound, or complex. Two additional structures, adjective clauses and appositives, will give you a much greater sentence variety within which to accomplish your writing objectives. This page contains a small amount of information about adjective clauses along with just ten very difficult exercises. First, we will define what adjective clauses are and how they work.

An adjective clause is a dependent clause that modifies a noun. It is possible to combine the following two sentences to form one sentence containing an adjective clause:

The children are going to visit the museum.
They are on the bus.

The children who are on the bus are going to visit the museum.
| adjective clause |

In the sentence above, there are two other ways to write the sentence correctly using the second sentence as the adjective clause.

The children that are on the bus are going to visit the museum.
The children on the bus are going to visit the museum.

Some other sentences can be combined into a sentence using adjective clauses in a variety of ways, and they are all correct. Note the variety of ways in which the following two sentences can be combined.

The church is old.
My grandparents were married there.

The church where my grandparents were married is old.
The church in which my grandparents were married is old.
The church which my grandparents were married in is old.
The church that my grandparents were married in is old.
The church my grandparents were married in is old.

In the sentences above, the adjective clauses are underlined. All answers are correct. Note the use of the word "in" and how and where it is used.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT PUNCTUATION

Managing simple, compound, and complex sentences, and then adding adjective clauses into the mix can result in some confusing situations regarding punctuation. There are some specific rules when punctuation is permissible or required around adjective clauses (when the information in the adjective clause is non-essential information); however, in my composition classes, I insist that students NOT use commas around adjective clauses for several reasons.

First, non-essential information should generally be avoided in academic writing, at least in the short essays required for these composition classes. Thus, not including the commas will more often be right than wrong.

Second, my Spanish speaking students have a natural tendency to write long sentences using many commas inappropriately. By not using commas around adjective clauses, students can perhaps more readily recognize when a period is required.

Third, I believe it is easier to learn to apply commas later when they are required than the other way around. Indiscriminate use of commas is a hard habit to undo in my experience. Therefore do not use commas around adjective clauses, at least for one semester.

Are you ready to take the quiz?

This quiz is very difficult. These sentences are actually the hardest I could find (in the sense that you need to know ALL the rules in order to get them all correct), so please follow the directions carefully.

1. Do not use commas in any of the completed sentences.
2. Make adjective clauses of the second sentence in every case. (Obviously, any of these sentences could be written using the first sentence as the adjective clause; however, making adjective clauses of the second sentence is harder because it requires knowledge of all the "rules" of writing adjective clauses.)
3. Spell correctly! This quiz is "graded" by computer, so any spelling mistake or punctuation error, like forgetting a period at the end of a sentence, will be counted wrong.

pasive and active

Description

Sentences have a structure of subject - verb - object, where the subject (or actor) performs an action (the verb) on an object.
Active verbs

Active verbs perform the actions of a subject within a sentence.

Use active verbs when you want to create interest and emphasize the action.

Use active verbs to give an order.
Passive verbs

Passive verbs describe the action done by the subject of a sentence. Passive verbs use a linking verb alongside the main verb. With passive verbs, it is often possible that the subject is not named.

Use passive verbs when you want to:

* Downplay the actor, for example when:
o The actor is not known
o The actor is relatively unimportant
o The actor has already been named.
* Downplay the action, for example
o To add focus to the object
o When the action may seem hostile

Linking verbs

Linking verbs are neither active nor passive and act like an 'equals' (or inequality) sign. By far the most common linking verb is 'to be'.

Use linking verbs to describe a 'state of being'.
Example

Active: The man wrote the story.
Passive: The story was written by the man.
Linking: The story is good.

Active: The secret-service man shot the dark stranger.
Passive: The dark stranger was shot. [who did the shooting is not named]
Linking: The dark stranger is not dead.

Active (imperative): Please help me succeed.
Passive (downplay action): Errors will occur.
Passive (downplay actor): The components were tested.
Passive (focus on object): The president was bitten by the rat.
Discussion

Active and passive verbs may be mixed within sentences and used as appropriate.
Active verbs

Active verbs are generally clearer and add more interest than passive verbs.

Active verbs are common in speech and commands.
Passive verbs

Because the subject need not be named with the passive verbs, this can lead to a lack of clarity and ambiguity. It also means that if the subject is not known,

Passive verbs are common in formal writing, such as academic, technical and business papers.

megubah pelayanan umum di indonesia

Layanan KTP keliling yang dilakukan di luar hari kerja oleh Pemda DKI Jakarta baru-baru ini merupakan terobosan pelayanan kepada masyarakat yang patut diapresiasi meskipun masih terbatas untuk perpanjangan KTP saja. Dengan layanan ini, masyarakat yang kesulitan mengurus KTP karena kesibukan kerja atau lokasi kelurahan yang jauh dari tempat tinggal dapat terlayani dengan pelayanan yang lebih baik dan cepat. Namun , Pemda DKI Jakarta tidak boleh cukup berbangga dan puas sampai di sini. Karena terobosan ini barus sedikit dari begitu banyak langkah perbaikan yang harus dilakukan oleh Pemda DKI Jakarta terhadap pelayanan publik yang diberikan kepada warga Jakarta. Masih banyak problem pelayanan publik yang harus dihadapi dan diterima masyarakat Jakarta, yang menyebabkan kegiatan warga terhambat dan tidak memperoleh manfaat yang maksimal.



Sudah umum diketahui bahwa pelayanan publik di Jakarta pada hampir semua sektor, khususnya layanan administrasi, masih jauh dari memuaskan. Pelayanan yang lambat, tidak pasti, adanya biaya tidak resmi menjadi wajah dari pelayanan publik oleh birokrasi di Jakarta. Survei yang dilakukan Kementerian Pendayagunaan Aparatur Negara Tahun 2006 terhadap 10 kota di Indonesia menunjukkan Jakarta sebagai kota peringkat kedua terburuk dalam kepuasan masyarakat atas pelayanan publik. Memprihatinkan, mengingat Jakarta adalah ibukota negara. Sementara survei Kompas pada 2007 menggambarkan bahwa birokrasi Jakarta gagal dalam menjalankan fungsi pelayanan umum. Sosiolog dari UI, Prof. Tamrin Amal Tamagola juga menyatakan bahwa ada lima penyakit birokrasi ibukota yaitu Incoherence, Inward looking, Inconsistence, Incompetenc dan, Impotence yang menyebabkannya tidak mampu melayani masyarakat dengan baik

Survei terbaru (2010) yang dilakukan IFC-World Bank tentang kemudahan berbisnis di dunia, menempatkan Indonesia yang diwakili Jakarta di peringkat ke 122, tertinggal dari negara-negara tetangga seperti Thailand, Malaysia dan terutama Singapura. Bahkan di dalam negeri, survei Sub National Doing Business yang dilakukan tahun 2009 juga menempatkan Jakarta di peringkat 7 diantara 14 kota lain dalam hal kemudahan memulai bisnis. Salah satu sumber penyebab peringkat yang buruk ini adalah birokrasi perijinan investasi yang masih sulit. Belum lagi pelayanan publik lain yang masih banyak dikeluhkan masyarakat. Pelayanan oleh aparatur birokrasi masih identik dengan pelayanan yag kompleks, berbelit-belit dan menghambat akses warga untuk mendapat layanan publik yang diperlukannya secara wajar. Padahal pelayanan publik bukan hanya menjadi hak masyarakat namun juga menjadi pintu masuknya investasi dalam kemajuan ekonomi dan kesejahteraan masyarakat.

Perilaku buruk dari birokrasi pemerintah terutama dalam pelayanan publik, seringkali karena adanya paradigma (mindset) yang salah dalam menjalankan fungsinya sebagai aparatur pemerintahan. Birokrasi pada hampir semua level juga belum mengalami perubahan paradigma; dari budaya minta dilayani menjadi budaya melayani. Penyelenggaraan pelayanan publik terlalu berorientasi kepada kegiatan dan pertanggungjawaban formal dan kurang berorientasi pada hasil berupa pelayanan yang prima kepada warga masyarakat. Birokrasi terjebak pada pola akivitas yang directly unproductive activities (Bhagwati, 1982). Gaya manajemen yang terlalu berorientasi kepada tugas (task oriented), juga menyebabkan aparatur kurang termotivasi untuk lebih kreatif dalam menjalankan tugasnya dan menghasilkan kualitas pelayanan publik yang prima.

Kelambananan dan paradigma minta dilayani menyebabkan Jakarta disandera birokrasi. Infrastruktur yang lengkap dalam mendukung kegiatan bisnis dan aktivitas masyarakat serta daya dukung sektor swasta dalam kegiatan ekonomi yang baik di Jakarta, menjadi tidak teroptimalkan dalam mendukung kemajuan dan kesejahteraan masyarakat akibat hambatan pelayanan birokrasi. Bahkan pengembangan SDM berkualitas dapat mengalami hambatan akibat pelayanan publik di bidang pendidikan dan kesehatan yang juga masih buruk.

transparansi dalam kasus century

RIBUT-RIBUT soal pengucuran dana penyelamatan Bank Century terus berlanjut walaupun Menteri Keuangan Sri Mulyani berulang kali mengatakan penyelamatan terhadap bank kecil itu telah sesuai dengan peraturan.

Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan (LPS) telah mengucurkan dana sebesar Rp6,7 triliun kepada Bank Century atas rekomendasi pemerintah dan Bank Indonesia. Padahal, dana yang disetujui DPR hanya sebesar Rp1,3 triliun.

Misteri itulah yang ditindaklanjuti Komisi Pemberantasan Korupsi (KPK) dengan meminta Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK) untuk melakukan audit investigasi terhadap bank.

Tidak hanya KPK, DPR pun meminta BPK mengaudit proses bailout tersebut. Itu karena sebelumnya DPR pada 18 Desember 2008 telah menolak Peraturan Pemerintah Pengganti Undang-Undang (Perppu) Nomor 4 Tahun 2008 tentang Jaring Pengaman Sektor Keuangan (JPSK) sebagai payung hukum dari penyelamatan bank milik pengusaha Robert Tantular itu.

Kasus Bank Century telah memperlihatkan kepada kita bahwa ada bank kecil yang mendapatkan dukungan besar dari otoritas keuangan dan bank sentral. Pertanyaannya adalah semangat apakah yang melatarinya?

Argumentasi yang muncul dari pihak berwenang sejauh ini adalah bahwa proses penyelamatan Bank Century telah sesuai dengan prosedur yang ditetapkan dalam UU LPS dan perintah dari Komite Stabilitas Sistem Keuangan.

Bahwa pembiayaan yang dikeluarkan LPS untuk menyelamatkan Bank Century berasal dari kekayaan LPS, bukan uang negara.
Saat likuidasi Bank Century, terdapat 23 bank yang masuk pengawasan BI. Dan pengambilalihan itu bertujuan memberikan rasa kepercayaan kepada masyarakat untuk mencegah rush yang bila dibiarkan, akan berdampak sistemik terhadap perekonomian nasional.

Terlepas dari argumen pemerintah, BI, dan LPS, yang harus diuji kebenarannya, kasus Bank Century dalam level tertentu diperkeruh isu transparansi yang dipertanyakan banyak kalangan.

Wakil Presiden Jusuf Kalla dengan tegas menyatakan ia sama sekali tidak tahu tentang proses bailout bank tersebut karena tidak pernah mendapatkan laporan dari Sri Mulyani saat kebijakan itu diambil.

Adalah aneh, seorang wakil presiden yang selama ini dikenal sebagai driving force dalam kebijakan ekonomi tidak mengetahui dan tidak dilapori. Ketidaktahuan Wapres menjadi bukti bahwa transparansi menjadi persoalan serius yang harus dituntaskan dalam isu bailout ini.

Kasus Bank Century juga tidak terlepas dari isu tidak sedap mengenai dugaan keterlibatan petinggi kepolisian. Terkait dengan persoalan di Bank Century pernah muncul sebuah polemik tentang cicak versus buaya antara kepolisian dan KPK. Ini juga menjadi tanda tanya tersendiri yang harus diungkap.

Ada pula isu bahwa penyelamatan Bank Century dilakukan semata untuk menyelamatkan dana nasabah tertentu.

Masih banyak misteri yang melingkupi kasus penyelamatan Bank Century. Karena itu, audit investigasi BPK harus dilakukan dengan tuntas.

Jangan sampai ada penumpang gelap yang bermain dengan mengatasnamakan penyelamatan ekonomi nasional.

Pertanyaan yang amat mengganggu bukanlah pada alasan mengapa Bank Century harus diselamatkan. Namun, pada mengapa untuk sebuah bank kecil dengan aset yang juga kecil harus dikucurkan dana yang begitu besar? Apalagi pemilik bank itu sedang terlibat kasus pidana penggelapan uang nasabah?

Apakah semua kejahatan pidana pemilik bank harus ditanggulangi negara? Jadi, soal mengapa sudah transparan. Yang belum terang benderang adalah soal jumlah yang sangat besar.

conditional sentences

CONDITIONAL SENTENCES

In grammar, conditional sentences are sentences discussing factual implications or hypothetical situations and their consequences. Languages use a variety of conditional constructions and verb forms (such as the conditional mood) to form these kinds of sentences.

Example : If it rains [condition], (then) the picnic will be cancelled [consequence].

Syntactically, the condition is the subordinate clause, and the consequence is the main clause. However, the properties of the entire sentence are primarily determined by the properties of the protasis (condition) (its tense and degree of factualness).

Conditional Sentences (sentence presuppositions) is a phrase used to express something that might happen or not happen. This sentence consists of 2 parts:

1. Main Clause (Parent sentence): the sentence can stand alone because it already has a subject and predicate.
2. Sub-ordinate Clause / If Clause (The sentence): the sentence can not stand alone / must be attached to the main clause.

Conditional Sentences are also known as Conditional Clauses or If Clauses. They are used to express that the action in the main clause (without if) can only take place if a certain condition (in the clause with if) is fulfilled. There are three types of Conditional Sentences.

» Conditional Sentence Type 1

→ It is possible and also very likely that the condition will be fulfilled.

IF Clause Type 1

Form: if + Simple Present, will-Future

Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.

The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don’t use a comma.

Example: I will send her an invitation if I find her address.

Note: Main clause and / or if clause might be negative. See Simple Present und will-Future on how to form negative sentences.

Example: If I don’t see him this afternoon, I will phone him in the evening.

Use

Conditional Sentences Type I refer to the future. An action in the future will only happen if a certain condition is fulfilled by that time. We don’t know for sure whether the condition actually will be fulfilled or not, but the conditions seems rather realistic – so we think it is likely to happen.

Example: If I find her address, I’ll send her an invitation.

I want to send an invitation to a friend. I just have to find her address. I am quite sure, however, that I will find it.

Example: If John has the money, he will buy a Ferrari.

I know John very well and I know that he earns a lot of money and that he loves Ferraris. So I think it is very likely that sooner or later he will have the money to buy a Ferrari.

» Conditional Sentence Type 2

→ It is possible but very unlikely, that the condition will be fulfilled.

IF Clause Type 2

Form: if + Simple Past, Conditional I (= would + Infinitive)

Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.

The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don’t use a comma.

Example: I would send her an invitation if I found her address.

Note: Main clause and / or if clause might be negative. See Simple Past und Conditional I on how to form negative sentences.

Example: If I had a lot of money, I wouldn’t stay here.

Were instead of Was

In IF Clauses Type II, we usually use ‚were‘ – even if the pronoun is I, he, she or it –.

Example: If I were you, I would not do this.

Use

Conditional Sentences Type II refer to situations in the present. An action could happen if the present situation were different. I don’t really expect the situation to change, however. I just imagine „what would happen if …“

Example: If I found her address, I would send her an invitation.

I would like to send an invitation to a friend. I have looked everywhere for her address, but I cannot find it. So now I think it is rather unlikely that I will eventually find her address.

Example: If John had the money, he would buy a Ferrari.

I know John very well and I know that he doesn’t have much money, but he loves Ferraris. He would like to own a Ferrari (in his dreams). But I think it is very unlikely that he will have the money to buy one in the near future.

» Conditional Sentence Type 3

→ It is impossible that the condition will be fulfilled because it refers to the past.

IF Clause Type 3

Form: if + Past Perfect, Conditional II (= would + have + Past Participle)

Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.

The main clause can also be at the beginning of the sentence. In this case, don’t use a comma.

Example: I would have sent her an invitation if I had found her address.

Note: Main clause and / or if clause might be negative. See Past Perfect and Conditional II on how to form negative sentences.

Example: If I hadn’t studied, I wouldn’t have passed my exams.

Use

Conditional Sentences Type III refer to situations in the past. An action could have happened in the past if a certain condition had been fulfilled. Things were different then, however. We just imagine, what would have happened if the situation had been fulfilled.

Example: If I had found her address, I would have sent her an invitation.

Sometime in the past, I wanted to send an invitation to a friend. I didn’t find her address, however. So in the end I didn’t send her an invitation.

Example: If John had had the money, he would have bought a Ferrari.

I knew John very well and I know that he never had much money, but he loved Ferraris. He would have loved to own a Ferrari, but he never had the money to buy one.

The basic concepts of marketing ( in terms of exchange processes between buyers and seller ) remain the same for both the consumer marketing and industrial ( or business ) marketing. However, there are differences between consumer markets and industrial markets. These differences must be understood well by industrial marketers who want to reach and satisfy the costumers better and faster than their competitors, in order to achieve the corporate objective.

Industrial or business marketing is a dynamic and challenging area that present opportunities for the application of marketing concepts and principles. To market effectively in an industrial market, we must understand the nature of industrial marketing which functions differently, in many respects, from consumer marketing. It is there fore necessary to study industrial marketing for those who are planning a career in industrial marketing.

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL ( BUSINESS ) MARKETING?

Industrial marketing is also referred to as business to “business marketing”, or “business marketing”, or ”organisations marketing. Industrial marketing ( or business marketing ) is the marketing of products and service to business organizations. Business (or industrial )organizations include manufacturing companies, government undertaking, private sector organization, educational institutions, hospital, distributors, and dealers. Business organizations buy products and services to satisfy many objectives like production of other goods and service, making profits, reducing cost, and soon. In contrast, costumers marketing is the marketing of products and service to individuals, families and households. The costumers buy product and service for their own consumption.

The companies ( selling organizations ) that sell steel, machine tools, computers, courier service, and other goods and service to business firms ( buying organizations ) need to understand the buyers’ needs, resources, polices, and buying procedures. The important point in business marketing is to creat value ( benefit ) for the buying organizational ( costumers ) with products and service that focus on buying organisional needs and objective. For example, a company manufacturing and marketing precision steel tubes to bicycle manufactures is doing business marketing. Industrial marketer of the precision steel tube company, must understand the needs of bicycle manufacturers such as hero cycle, in terms of their quality requirements, applications of tubes, availability or daily or weekly basis, and so on

Similarly, a small and proprietary firm, giving technical advice ( or services ) to paint-manufacturers is also doing business marketing.

INDUSTRIAL vs CONSUMER MARKETING

The basic task of marketing management apply to both consumer and industrial marketing. These tasks are: ( a ) deciding the target markets, ( b ) finding out the needs and wants of the target markets, ( c ) developing marketing programmers or strategy to reach and satisfy target costumers, better and faster than competitors.

However, there are differences in the characteristics of industrial an consumer market.

Differences between Industrial and consumer marketing

In industrial marketing, the market are geographically concentrated; the costumers are relatively fewer; the distribution channels are short; the buyers ( or customers ) are well informed; the buying organizations are highly organized and use sophisticated purchasing techniques; the purchasing decisions era based on observable stages.

In comparison to consumers marketing is more a responsibility of general management. Sometimes, it is difficult to separate industrial marketing strategy from the corporate ( company ) strategy. In consumers marketing, many times the changes in marketing strategy are carried out within the marketing department, trough changes in advertising, sales promotion, and packaging. However, the changes in industrial marketing strategy generally have company-wide implications.

For example, in 1983, a newly recruitment marketing manager of a precision steel tubes company wanted to evolve a marketing plan. He initially carried out a market survey to understand the needs and the requirements of the existing and new consumers. One of major findings of the market survey was, that out of seven different market segments, two segments namely Bicycle and Automotive required 70 per cent of the total market of precision steel tubes in India and that their future growth was much higher than the other segments. However, both the segments needed a higher volume of value added tubes (called “cold drawn welded tubes”), which were also giving a much higher contribution to fixed costs and profits. The marketing strategy of focusing (targeting) marketing efforts on Bicycle and Automotive segments could be achieved only when it become a part of corporate strategy, by investing Rs five crores for increasing the production of cold drawn welded (CDW) tubes from 80 metric tons per month 400 metric tons per month. The company could, therefore, achieve its objective of becoming the market leader by 1986.

While generally it is true the different between industrial and consumer marketing are of degrees, the degrees of differences are substantial. These differences can be seen by comparing the two markets, as shown in table 1.1.

Table 1.1 Differences Between Industrial and Consumer Marketing

areas	industrial markets	consumers market

2. product characteristic	2. relatively fewer buyers	2. mass markets

6. promotion characteristic	availability very important	5. involvement of family members
7. price characteristic	6. involvement of various function	6. purchase decisions are mostly made

	11. fewer intermediaries/middlemen	12. list price or maximum retail price
	12. emphasis on personal selling	( MRP )
	13. competitive bidding and negotiated price
	14. list prices for standard product

Market characteristic a large of households, geographically dispersed all over country, are included in the mass market for consumer goods and service. But, in the case of industrial markets, it is common to find less than 1000 companies to represent the total market for an industrial product or service. For example, for a consumers product like tooth paste or soap, a mass market, consisting of all the household in India, exist. However, for industrial products, such as, large power transformers or high tension switchgears, there are limited numbers of customers mainly state electricity boards, large private and public sector organizations.

Product Characteristics In industrial marketing, the products or services are generally technically complex. They are used for serving the operation of the organizations. Because of the importance given to technical aspects of products, the purchases are made based on the specifications evolved by the buyers.

The real risk in “falling in love with the technical aspects of a product” in industrial marketing is to ignore the flexibility in responding to customer’s needs in a competitive market. Some companies, as a result, commit the serious mistake of trying to change the customer to fit the product.

For example, the quality control manager of a cold rolled (CR) steelstrip manufacturing company informed an important customer that the customer was not justified in rejecting his company product, as it was as per the relevant Indian standard specifications and that the customers product specifications were more stringent than the Indian standard specifications. However, the customer refused to accept the product, as it was failing at the shop floor operations. The customer, therefore, not only returned the entire rejections but also cancelled the balance orders. Subsequently, other competitors supplied the product as per the needs and specifications of the customer, who placed orders with them.

Buyer behaviour in industrial marketing, the buying process is more complex as compared to consumer marketing. The purchase decisions in industrial marketing are based on many factors. Such as compliance with product specifications, product quality, availability or timely supply, acceptable payment on other commercial, and finance departments. After the initial offer made by a seller, there are negotiation and exchange of information between the specialists and representatives from each functional area, from both the buyer and the seller organizations.

In contrast, in consumer marketing, the relationship between a buyer and a seller as non-personal. The consumers change their purchasing habits frequently and the buying decisions are often based on physiological needs of the members of a family.

Distribution channel characteristics

1.1 Channel of distribution in industrial and consumer markets

Because of the importance on inventory, the distribution channels are more direct from the manufacturer to the customer in industrial marketing. Often, the manufacturers use their own sales/marketing persons to self directly to major customer. However, for selling to small-scale customer, many manufacturers use either distributor, or agents, which also help s in minimizing the cost of marketing.

Promotional characteristics

While in consumer marketing the emphasis is on advertising, in industrial (or business) marketing, the importance is given to the personal selling through the company’ sales force. As result, a much large expenditure budget is provided for advertising in consumer marketing in comparison to industrial marketing.

In industrial marketing, apart from personal selling, the primary means of reaching the potential customers is through advertisements in trade journals and business magazine, as well as direct mailing of company leaflet/brochures to potential customers.

Price Characteristics

in consumer marketing, the products are sold through the retailers to the consumers based on the “price list” of the manufacturer or the maximum retail price for the packaged products. Sometimes, depending on the intensity of the competition, the reailer reduces the price by passing on to the consumer a part of his discount.

INDUSTRIAL DEMAND

The demand for industrial products and services does not exist by itself. It is derived from the ultimate demand for consumer goods and service. Industrial demand is, therefore, called derived demand. Sometimes the demand for industrial product is called joint demand, when the demand for a product depends upon its use along with the existence of other product or product Cross elasticity of demand exist for some substitute products. Let us examine these concepts in more details.

DERIVED DEMAND

industrial customers be goods and services for use in producing other goods and services. Ultimately, whatever is finally produced will be sold to the consumers. Hence, the demand for industrial goods and service is derived from consumers goods and service.

JOINT DEMAND

Joint demand occurs when one industrial product is useful if other products also exist. For example, a pumpset cannot be used for pumping water, if the electric motor or diesel engine is not available.

CROSS-ELASTICITY OF DEMAND

Elasticity is simply the change in demand from a change in price. Percentages are used to measure the relative changes. Demand is “inelastic” if the percentage change in quantity demanded is less than the percentage change in price. Demand is “unitary” if the percentage change in price is matched by in quantity demanded is more than the percentage change in price. This concept is useful as a starting point to understand the relationship between the price and the quantity sold (or demand).

PRICE ELASTICITY OF DEMAND

Cross elasticity of demand is the responsiveness of the sales of one product to a price change in another product. This concept is present in both consumer and industrial marketing, but it is far more important in industrial marketing as it can have a dramatic impact on the marketing strategy of an industrial firm. For example, the demand for aluminium is related to the price of wood and steel for the doors and window frames, as they are close substitutes. Apart from other advantages of alumunium doors and windows, the cost comparison with steel and wooden door and window farmes play an important role in purchase decision in the construction of house, commercial office, factories, hotels, hospital, and so on. .

If the cross elasticity of substitute product is high, it indicates that these product compete in the same market. An industrial marketer must know how the demand for his product is likely to be affected by the change in the price of substitute product.

II. UNDERSTANDING INDUSTRIAL MARKETS AND ENVIRONMENT

2.1. TYPE OF INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS

Commercial Enterprises

Commercial Enterprises are private sector, profit seeking organizations, consisting of (i) industrial distributors, or dealers, (ii) original equipment manufactures (OEMs), and (iii) users. They include manufacturing firms and non manufacturing firms.

1. Industrial Distributors and Dealers

They purchase industrial goods and resell them in the same form to other industrial customers such as commercial enterprises, governmental and institutional customers.

2. Original Equipment Manufactures (OEMs)

These industrial customers purchase industrial goods to incorporate them into the product they produce.

3. User

When a commercial enterprise purchases industrial product or service to support its manufacturing process or to facilitate the business operations, we classify it as a user.

Overlapping of categories

Sometimes a manufactures can be a user or an OEM.

Government Customers

The largest purchases of industrial product in india are central and state government departments, undertakings, and agencies, such as railway, department of telecommunication, defence Director General of Supplier and Disposal.

Institutions

Public and private institutions such as hospital, school, collage, universities, and prisons, are classified as institutional customers. Some of these institutions have rigid purchasing rules and other have more flexible rule.

Cooperative Society

This category is unique and was a part of the cooperative movement in india. An association of person from a cooperative society.

CLASSIFICATION OF INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICE

There are many methods by which industrial product and services are classified. The method that is most accepted classifies product and services based on how product or services enter the production process, and their relative cost. Based on this method, industrial product and service are classified: (i) materials and parts, (ii) capital items, (iii) supplies and service.

2.2. Classification of Industrial Product and Service

Materials and Part

Goods that enter the product directly consist of raw materials, and component parts. The cost of these item are treaded by the purchasing company as part of manufacturing cost.

Raw Materials

These are the basic product that enter the production process with little or no alternations. They may be marketed to OEMs or user customers.

Manufactured Materials and Component Parts

Manufactured materials include those raw materials that are subjected to some amount of processing before entering the manufacturing process. Acids, oil, and steel are the examples of manufacturing or processed material that are the basic ingredients of many manufacturing activities.

Capital Items

Capital Items are those which are used in the production processes and they wear out over certain times frame. Capital items are classified into three group: (i) Heavy equipment/installations, (ii) Accessories/light equipment (iii) plant and building.

1. Heavy equipment/installations

These are major and long term investment items such as general purpose and special purpose machines, turbines, generators, furnaces, and earth moving equipment. These items are shown in the balance sheet as plant and equipment, and are fixed assets to be depreciated over a period of year if they are purchased outright.

2. Accessories/light equipment

Light equipment and tools which have lower purchase prices and are not considered as part of heavy equipment. Are power operated hand tools, small electric motors, dies, jigs, type writers and computer terminals.

3. plant and building

These are the real estate property of a company. It includes the firm’s offices, plants (factories), werehouses, housing, parking lots, and so on.

Supplies and Services

Supplies and Services support the operation of the purchasing organization. They do not become a part of finished product. They are treated as offering expenses for the periods they are consumed.

Supplies

Items such as paints, soaps, oils and greases, pencils, typewriter rebons, stationery and paper clips belong to this category. These items are generally standardized and are marketed to a wide cross sections of industrial users.

Services

Companies needed a wide range of service like building maintenance services, auditing services, legal services, courier services, marketing research service and other.

MARKETING IMPLICATIONS FOR DIFFERENTS CUSTOMER AND PRODUCT TYPE

In case of material and parts product, for large OEMs or users, selling is mostly done directly from a seller to a buyer organization. However, for smaller volume OEMs and user, the standard raw materials or component are sold trough industrial dealers or distributors as it is cost effective. In case the components are custom made, considerable interaction takes place between technical and commercial persons from both buyer and seller organization, and obviously selling is done directly. It is therefore, important for an industrial salesman to remain in close touch with not only purchase or materials department persons, but also with quality, production, R&D, marketing, and accounts/finance persons of buyer organizations as they influence buying or payment releasing decision. Apart from personal contact, product leafiets/brochures. Help an industrial marketer in communicating product and other information. In case of standard product, the factors which influence buying decisions, with differing share of business for various suppliers , are product quality and performance, delivery dependability, price, payment terms, costumer service, and costumer rapport. When component parts such as batteries and tyres are sold in the consumers replacement market, marketers either create a product differentiation trough consumer advertising. ( e.g. JK tyre’s TV advertisement for radial tyres) or sell on a competitive price basis. For this, advertising and distribution through multiple channels all over the country becomes an important part of marketing strategy.

Marketing Strategy for Capital Items, supplies and service

1. Capital items for capital items, consisting of heavy machinery and construction of factories office buildings, direct selling with extensive interactions, involving top executives in both buying and selling organization are very common. Negotiations take considerable time on key factors such as price, return on investment, credit facilities, delivery period, installation time, third party certificate for previous jobs done, and so on. Personal selling is the primary promotional method used.
2. Supplies for marketing supplies, direct selling is used for large volume buying firms, and distributors or dealer are used to market to diverse markets consisting of small and medium size. The purchase or materials department persons generally make buying decisions based on dependable delivery price and locational convenience.
3. Service marketing strategy for service is more subtle. Buying firms generally contact the selling firms who have their reputation by way of word of month. The selling firm’s efforts are on consultative or advisory nature, and continuation of the service depends upon the quality, price, and timeliness of service to meet the costumers need.

INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS’ PURCHASING ORIENTATIONS

Industrial marketers are aware that all business buyers do not have the same purchasing orientation, or overall purchasing philosophy, which guides them through their buying decisions.

2.3. Purchasing Orientations of Industrial Customers (or Business Buyers)

Business buyers choose three purchasing orientations:

1. Buying Orientations

The purchasing firm with buying orientation has narrow and short term focus. The buyers, in these firm, follow the practice as under:

Lowest Price The buying firm usually selects the lowest price supplier. Quality and availability are the factors that are considered as qualifiers for a supplier to be considered.

2. Gain Power The buying gain power over supplier by using tactics like commoditisation

In commoditization, buyers argue that there are no differences between various suppliers offers in terms of technical service, product quality, or product features.

Risk Buyers avoid risk altogether, in order to reduce the chance of criticism and penalization for making a mistake. The tactics used for avoiding risk are: (a) follow the standard purchase procedure established by company and (b) depend on suppliers who have proved their performance earlier.

Procurement Orientation

Here, the purchasing firm has a strategic focus and is proactive. The span of influence of purchasing is more with integration of other activities like order processing, material handling and logistic. The buyers, with procurement orientation, seek both quality improvements and cost reductions.

Collaborative Relationship with Major Suppliers This result in quality improvement and cost reduction. For this, both suppliers and buyer firms must trust one another to a greater extent, and should agree to share the rewards of working together.

Working Closely with Other Functional Areas This is an important attribute of buyers with procurement orientation. Buyers are involved in describing the specification of the products or services that the firm is looking for, ensuring quality of purchased goods, and timely availability of products and services.

Supply Chain Management Orientation

Here, the role of purchasing is further expended to become more value adding, and strategic operations. It includes coordination and integration of purchasing function with other functions within the company and also with other organization in the whole value chain, like customers, intermediaries, suppliers.

Deliver Value to End Users Using marketing research, the supply manager would understand the requirements of end users and direct the entire supply chain to deliver superior value to end users.

Outsource Non core Activities The top management of the firm identifies the core competences of the company. Thereafter the firm would group its products and services into strategic and nonstrategic system and subsystems.

Applications of Purchasing Orientation

Through a proper understanding of a business customers purchasing orientation, and industrial marketer could gain important insight. For example, most government organization place orders on the suppliers who quote the lowest price against government tenders.

PURCHASING PRACTICE OF INDUSTRIAL CUSTOMERS

The industrial marketers market industrial goods or service to different types of customer commercial enterprises, governmental customers and institutional customers.

Purchasing in Commercial Enterprises

The purchasing practices depend upon the nature of business and the size of the commercial enterprise as well as the volume, variety, and technical complexity of the product purchased. In large and medium size organization, the purchase decision involve persons from departments like productions, materials, quality, finance/cost accountant, engineering, and also senior management executives.

2.4. Purchasing in Government Unit

As mentioned earlier, the government units are the largest purchasers of industrial goods and service. To compete successfully and to get business, an industrial marketer must understand the complexities involved in selling to government units.

Institutional Purchasing
