Matriks SPACE INTRODUCTION Indonesia as an open country and part of the international community cannot escape from globalization and it impacts various fields of life. One proof of the governmentAos committment in facing the globalization process is by issuing Regulation of the Minister of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia Number 15 in 2014 concerning Changes in the Form of PTK (Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan/Religious Higher Educatio. The change in the form of PTK was carried out with the following aims: . increasing access to religious higher education, . increasing the reach of equity and the spread of higher education and . improving the quality and competitiveness of the implementation of religious higher education (Regulation of the Minister of Religion Affair of Republic Indonesia. No. 15, 2. Given the crucial purpose of changing the shape of a university, educational institutions that have fulfilled the requirements for changing the form of institutions should immediately commence with the process of tranformation, such as from academies to institutes or institutes to universities. One of these institutions is STAI Yasni Muara Bungo. STAI Yasni Muara Bungo was faced with demands to transform from an academy to This is based on several reasons, including: . the urgent needs of the Bungo community for an Islamic University, . the need to develop science, technology and art, . the diverse study programs at STAI Yasni Muara Bungo, ( . the growth in the number of STAI Yasni Muara Bungo students over the years, . the mushrooming of other universities in Bungo Regency, and . most of the requirements for submitting institutional changes have been fulfilled (Zaki, 2. Changes in the form of this higher institution will only be possible if eleven . requirements to change the form of higher education as stipulated in the regulation of the Minister of Religion No. 14 of 2014 have been fulfilled by an institution. These components are: the percentage of lecturers'educational qualifications. the percentage of lecturers' academic the ratio of the number of students and lecturers. the number, types, and variety of study the percentage of educational qualifications of education personnel. the percentage of study program accreditation status. facilities and infrastructure. number of students. community demand. demands in the development of national scientific fields. and development needs (Regulation of the Minister of Religion Affair of Republic Indonesia. No. 15, 2. The compulsion of STAI (Perguruan Tinggi Agama Islam/Islamic Higher Education Institution. Yasni Muara Bungo to make changes, is compatible to what was also conveyed by Abid Hussain et al that schools, colleges, and universities are currently experiencing rapid The progress of innovation, the development of demographics, the expansion of competition, the increase in costs and finance, etc. are the triggers for a change in the shape of a tertiary institution (Ch, et. , 2. Similar with Abid Husain above. Agrawal et al. , in 2017 also said that one of the main factors in the 21st century that will undergo a process of rapid change is the fields of economics, science and technology, communication, education, culture, and politics (Agarwal, 2. Jamshed et al. , also stated that universities in the 21st century became more competitive due to modernization and globalization. Even Bunyamin added that the era of globalization was an era of quality competition. So universities in the globalization era should be based on quality. In providing education services and developing human resources, universities should pay attention that excellence is very important at the moment (Bunyamin & Alamsyah, 2. Bunyamin also added that the rapid flow of globalization in the third Vol. No. December 2019 M/1441 H SWOT Analysis on A millennium made many universities, especially PTAI in Indonesia, often find it difficult to compete, compete and keep up with the times, especially PTAIS (Perguruan Tinggi Agama Islam Swasta/Private Islamic College. In terms of quality PTAIS, it is still far from expectations even many of them are pathetic, namely 'out of business'. Efforts that must be done by universities are to observe and anticipate trends that are happening outside the college, namely the advancement of competitors and the needs of prospective students. Therefore. STAI Yasni Muara Bungo must know the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats from outside in the face of competition with other universities in Bungo district. Identifying STAI Yasni Muara Bungo's strengths and weaknesses will be very helpful in utilizing every opportunity and avoiding or minimizing threats since in determining competing strategies and making decisions, a manager must recognize what weaknesses, strengths, threats and opportunities that the organization has and recognize the strengths ofexisting competitors (Guiltinan & Paul, 1. One way to analyze aspects of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in institutions is to do a SWOT analysis . trengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threat. Strengtht (S) is a positive internal condition that provides competitive advantage in the face of competition for educational institutions, for example: educational cost advantages, expertise in producing innovation and sufficient financial resources and superior technology skills. Strength (S) is also an examination of the quality, state or condition expressed by the quality of an association or organization (Ch et al. , 2. Whereas Weaknesses (W) is a negative internal condition that can undermine the assessment of the organization, such as the image of an organization that is still weak, a weak distribution network, the absence of costs in making strategic changes in the organization, lack of clear strategic direction and lack of understanding and knowledgein management related issues. Opportunity (O) is a present or future condition that benefits universities, for example the ability to grow rapidly due to a fairly high increase in market demand, new technologies emerging. While threats (T) are present and future external conditions that will not benefit and can seriously affect the future of educational institutions, such as: the entry of foreign competitors that put lower education costs, the increasing number of similar universities, and regulatory requirements which is quite complicated and expensive (Harray, 2. Furthermore (Habimana. Mutambuka, & Habinshuti, 2. SWOT analysis as a tool in strategic management is often used as a general method in large companies or in institutions with the aim of building a high-quality strategic analysis matrix. The main purpose of SWOT is to provide marketers with meaningful insights about key organizational competencies after evaluating the data collected through marketing intelligence and to enable them to make the best use of the data in exploiting opportunities, connecting those who have power in the organization, identifying major threats, and minimize weaknesses. In line with Nasri above. Glaister and Falshaw also argue that SWOT analysis is a valuable and prevalent tool in strategic SWOT analysis is also one of several strategic planning tools used by businesses and other organizations to ensure that there are clear objectives for the project or business, and that all factors related to the effort, both positive and negative, are identified and addressed. complete this task, the process involves four areas of consideration: strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. It should be noted that, when identifying and classifying relevant factors, the focus is not only on internal problems, but also external components that can have an impact on project success (Osita, 2. SWOT analysis is a tool used for strategic planning and strategic management in organizations (Gyrel, 2. Thus, it can be concluded that SWOT analysis is a systematic way to identify internal and external factors based on the assumption that effective strategies will maximize strengths and opportunities while minimizing weaknesses and threats (Pearce & Robinson, 2. and also useful for determining organizational position Vol. No. December 2019 M/1441 H M. Solihin. Jalaludin. Novita. Syukri Ismail (Machali & Hidayat, 2. which in this case is STAI Yasni Muara Bungo. So that the research on the change in the form of STAI Yasni Muara Bungo to IAI (Institut Agama Islam/Islamic Institutio. Yasni Muara Bungo needs to be studied more deeply based on the results of the TOWS and SPACE matrix processing. The TOWS matrix is a simple analytical tool for recording the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats faced by an organization (Heinz Weilrich, 1. While the SPACE matrix is a SWOT analysis tool which stands for strategic positions and action evaluation. This SPACE analysis tool is used to determine whether the formulation of an organization's strategy is analyzed in the aggressive, conservative, defensive or competitive quadrant. The SPACE matrix has two internal dimensions, namely . inancial strength and competitive advantag. and external dimensions, namely . nvironmental stability and industrial strengt. (Steiss, 2. In carrying out the analysis, four core questions must have been put in context and the answers will be the starting points for strategy formation. The four questions are: . What can we do . trengths and weaknesse. ?, . What do we want to do . eneral organizational and personal value. ?, . What we might do . pportunities and external environmental threat. ?, and . What do other people expect from what we do? (Sandybayev & Derkan, 2. Based on the description above, the objectives in this study are identifying the conditions of internal factors . trengths and weaknesse. of STAI Yasni Muara Bungo, investigating the condition of external factors . pportunities and threat. STAI Yasni Muara Bungo, formulating the STAI Yasni Muara Bungo development strategy to become IAI Yasni Muara Bungo by using the TOWS matrix, and analyzing the possibility of STAI Yasni to change form to IAI Yasni Muara Bungo through the results of SPACE matrix processing. While the research questions that must be answered in this study are the TOWS Matrix analysis result on the transformation of STAI Yasni to IAI Yasni Muara Bungo and the analysis result of the SPACE matrix on the transformation of STAI Yasni Muara Bungo to IAI Yasni Muara Bungo. METHOD The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. Qualitative approach is research that intends to understand the phenomenon of what is experienced by research subjects such as behavior, perception, motivation, actions holistically and by way of description in the form of words and language, in a special natural context and by utilizing various scientific methods (Lexy J, 2. This means that an in-depth analysis of the internal and external factors of STAI Yasni Muara Bungo is carried out using qualitative methods. Data collection techniques used are interview techniques, documentation and observation . From the data collection techniques, the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of STAI Yasni Muara Bungo were obtained. Once the data were obtained, they were systematically organized in the form of TOWS matrix analysis with the following procedures: identifying weaknesses . and threats . that were most urgent to be addressed in general in all components of education, . identifying strengths . and opportunities . which were expected to be suitable for overcoming weaknesses and threats identified in the first step, . formulating recommended strategies for dealing with weaknesses and threats, including problem solving, further improvement and development and . determining priorities for handling weaknessesand the threat, and an action plan was developed to carry out the program . dmin, 2. The TOWS matrix correctly analyses internal strengths and weaknesses as well as external threats and opportunities to guide future expected strategies (Farhangi. Hassangholipour, & Rashidi, 2. In 1982 Professor Heinz Weinrich published his work offering the TOWS matrix as a new type of SWOT model and saw it as a conceptual framework for systematic analysis of organizations (Weihrich, 1. On the other hand, the data analysis used the SPACE Matrix analysis tool with the following procedure: . scoring the Vol. No. December 2019 M/1441 H SWOT Analysis on A four variables seen in an organization, namely . financial strength with 1 . score to 6 (Bes. consisting of income and expenditure elasticity, organizational cash flow position, . competitive advantage with a score of -1 . to -6 . which includes user/end user satisfaction, use of technology knowledge, and service quality, . environmental Stability with a score of -1 ( bes. to -6 . such as technological changes and competitive pressures, and . industrial strength 1 . to 6 (Bes. in the form of financial stability, productivity and technological knowledge. calculate the average score for each dimension. put the plot/average score point of each dimension in cartesian coordinates. read the results of the new intersection. conclude the organization's position on four criteria namely aggressive, competitive, defensive and conservative (Steiss, 2. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Results of SWOT Analysis with TOWS Matrix Environmental analysis consists of an analysis of the internal and external environment is the basis for strategic management. It is called the search for external conditions because only then will the organization be aware of and understand the implications of change to be able to compete more effectively through appropriate policies. Although it seems simple, environmental analysis in reality is very complex. As a result, in the reality that exists, even though the environment has changed so rapidly, so often good ideas in the past are required to become policy guidelines in the present. As well as the mandate that is carried out and continued for tomorrow is certainly with a spirit of difference that is better than the past and better than others . so that the organization become increasingly competitive (Certo, 2. A strategy is a unified, broad and integrated plan that links organizational excellence with environmental challenges and is designed to ensure that the organization's main objectives can be achieved through appropriate implementation by the organization (Lawrence, 2. Strategy is also a broad basic plan of an organization's actions to achieve its goals (Stanton. Etzel, & Walker, 2. A strategy can also be defined an art of using the skills and resources of an organization to achieve its goals through effective relationships with the environment in the most favorable conditions (Salusu & Salusu, 2. taking the idea of McNichol. In deciding and formulating a strategy, good management is needed. Strategic management is a set of managerial decisions and actions that determine a company's performance in the long term, including strategy formulation, implementation and evaluation (Hunger & Wheelen, 2. Strategic analysis is needed as an important step in the design, construction and selection of effective business strategies. A number of studies provide evidence of the importance of marketing intelligence in effective strategic planning as reported (Caudron, 1994. Huster, 2.

Based on the results of the above research, it is necessary to discuss the follow-up of the strategy formulation that must be carried out by STAI Yasni Muara Bungo in changing its form to IAI Yasni Muara Bungo. Because after determining the direction of the organization in the future . , it is necessary to formulate a strategy (Suharsaputra, 2. Strategy formulation Vol. No. December 2019 M/1441 H M. Solihin. Jalaludin. Novita. Syukri Ismail is the development of long-term plans to effectively manage environmental opportunities and challenges by considering organizational strengths and weaknesses (Hunger & Wheelen, 2. Strategy formulation is also the first step in implementing a dynamic strategic management process, which starts from the formulation of strategies, implementation of strategies and evaluation of the success of the strategy (Katsioloudes & Abouhanian, 2. From the SWOT analysis using the TOWS Matrix analysis tool, it is found that there are three . strategies that can be used by STAI Yasni Muara Bungo to change its form to IAI Yasni Muara Bungo, namely . strengthening the input of Islamic higher education in terms of student tuition (Financ. and academic/curriculum. strengthening of academic culture/culture that integrates Islamic elements/values, global and modern projections, and . development of educational/academic programs by paying attention to the quality of lecturers, employees, students and stakeholders. Strengthening the Input of Islamic Higher Education in terms of Funding/Student Tuition (Financ. and Academic/Curriculum Cost and curriculum elements are two . of the seven . components of a university's self-evaluation (Mahmud, 2. Both components are classified into the input of education and teaching. The issue of education costs or funds is a classic problem in an organization . yahrizal, 2. Academic and student development in universities cannot be separated from the university funding. Funding is the lifeblood of a college. Based on the results of the SWOT analysis at STAI Yasni Muara Bungo, it can be illustrated that STAI Yasni Muara Bungo has been quite capable of strengthening the tertiary input . unding/education cost. Currently. STAI Yasni Muara Bungo is a private Islamic religious college, making foundations, communities and other sources of non-binding institutions/donors as the main source of fund. However, it doesnAot mean that the private universities which the fund source is primarily from the community do not mean that the quality of the higher education institutions is lower . yahrizal, 2. STAI Yasni has a fairly good ability in creating, expanding and exploring new funding sources and managing funds for the benefit of universities in an effective and efficient manner. Some examples are STAI Yasni Muara Bungo making the Nurul Islam Foundation (YASNI). STAI Yasni Muara Bungo alumni strength. STAI Yasni Muara Bungo Lecturer. Grants from Bank collaboration (CSR). Local Government. Provincial Government and Ministry of Religion as the main funding sources for the campus. Therefore, a number of possible strategies were carried out by STAI Yasni Muara Bungo in terms of strengthening tertiary input . unding/education cost. : . optimization of research and community service. Currently. STAI Yasni Muara Bungo is struggling to offer research proposals to several ministries and local governments. This is because a quality of research proposal will establish a university as a superior educational institution in terms of university and . the development of an entrepreneurship program. The entrepreneurial spirit must be developed so that universities have business units that can generate profits in reviving higher education.
