SWOT Analysis INTRODUCTION The research budget that almost reached 36 trillion rupiahs in 2019 is considered very large but has little impact on the research results obtained.
The budget is spread to 45 ministries/agencies, making the research unfocused and lacking in depth.
The source of the research budget, which mostly comes from the government is around 66% and is assisted by the private sector, which is 10%.

To develop an Indonesia that is adaptive, productive, innovative and competitive by the Vision of Indonesia that President Jokowi conveyed on July 14, 2019.
The community can utilize the research results, it is necessary to improve, starting with the amendment of the Undang-undang Nomor 18 Tahun 2002 (Presiden RI, 2.
to the Undang-undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2019 (UURI, 2.
regarding the National System of Science and Technology (Law Sisnas Science and Technolog.
, it is necessary to have an agency that oversees the research process from upstream to downstream which led to the formation of the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).
After issuing the Law, it was followed by the Peraturan Presiden Nomor 74 Tahun 2019 (Presiden RI, 2.
The last was the ratification of Peraturan Presiden Nomor 78 Tahun 2021 (Indonesia, 2.
concerning the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).
BRIN is a body that contains integrated research institutions, namely the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI), the Agency for the Assessment and Application of Technology (BPPT), the National Nuclear Energy Agency (BATAN), and the Institute for Aeronautics and Space (LAPAN), as well as other research institutions.
BRIN is expected to simplify the bureaucracy, create autonomous institutions and manage budgets outside the government budget.
the Peraturan Presiden Nomor 78 Tahun 2021, it is stated that BRIN is responsible to the President for carrying out government missions in the fields of research, development, study, and application .
, discovery & innovation, implementation of nuclear energy, implementation of the National Space Program including monitoring, managing, and evaluating the work of the Agency Regional Research and Innovation (BRIDA) by applicable regulations.
Two years since the Law on the National Science and Technology System until the emergence of two Presidential Regulations to prepare guidelines and structures for the implementation of BRIN, several parties doubt the position of BRIN because it does not have a clear structure and institution coupled with the sectoral ego of each research institution that is part of BRIN.
Finally, the disbandment of the Eijkman Institute caused controversy because only State Civil Apparatus researchers could become BRIN employees.
Due to the above condition, it is essential to analyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats in BRINAos readiness in the development of national research and innovation.
In addition to BRIN's primary function as a producer of research and innovation.
BRIN is also expected to be actively involved in conducting research and innovation with universities and industry.
The main objective is to drive new investments in science and technology that impact economic progress in Indonesia.
This agency is expected to develop research that includes improving the quality of science and technology human resources encouraging better management of biological and intellectual property data and research networks at home and abroad.
BRIN is also mandated to build an innovation ecosystem to establish cooperation between the government.

The others objective of the establishment of BRIN is to avoid overlaps that might hinder the development of science and technology and national innovation.
(Baglieri, 1.
states that research and development institutions can be measured using a matrix model, as shown in Figure 1 below.
This matrix provides a framework for measuring R&D performance by the object .

Figure 1 - Reference Model for R&D Performance Measurement Source: Baglieri .
In the 2018 UI-CSGAR study (Jannah, n.
), it was highlighted that the Baglieri matrix evaluation was not easy to execute.
For this reason, this paper attempts to use SWOT Analysis to analyze the readiness of BRIN transformation in order to accelerate the development of national research and innovation.
SWOT
Analysis is an acronym for Strengths.
Weaknesses.
Opportunities, and Threats Analysis.
A SWOT analysis is a strategic planning tool used to evaluate the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats involved in a project (Ezeani et , 2.
This method is used to determine the organizationAos condition as a basis for determining improvements and improvements by determining strategies by the organisation's characteristics and position (GyuREL, 2.
This method is appropriate for finding problems from 4 .

In implementation of SWOT, the organization need conduct several stages such as determining the objective of the organization in order to be relevant with the business/market and industry, setup priorities, develop strategies and implement the results of its research.
Event SWOT analysis has more advantages than disadvantages, a lot of information is generated through SWOT analysis, but sometimes it is difficult to manage a number of alternative solutions and decisions (Namugenyi et al.

METHODS
This study used a quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to 32 respondents from various work units at BRIN.
The task forces in question are the Bureau under the Main Secretariat in charge of internal services and office infrastructure, the satker under the Deputy who has duties in the field of external services and infrastructure, and the satker under the Research Organization, which has duties in the field of technical implementation research.
The organizational structure of BRIN is shown in Figure 2.
The Civil Servant (ASN) positions at BRIN have been divided into 3 positions: structural positions, functional positions, and implementing positions.
The graph of the composition of positions in BRIN can be seen in Graph 1.

BPPT.
BATAN and LAPAN as well as several other R&D and R&D institutions is a policy that is still being debated.
It is hoped that this integration can build a more optimal development of research and innovation.
For example, an increasingly large and centralized budget, facilities and infrastructure can be used by sharing, and easy collaboration and coordination.
In addition, there is a lot of scientific expertise from various fields to produce highly competitive research and innovations.
The integration of the R&D institution also reduces the administrative route, which is in line with President Jokowi's work priority program, namely simplification of the bureaucracy.
produce in-depth research that can have a high impact on the community, takes a lot of money and time, so the transformation of R&D into BRIN is the right Weaknesses Analysis Although it has been stipulated in the Peraturan Presiden Nomor 78 Tahun 2021 regarding the duties and functions of BRIN, the implementation of the integration has not run smoothly.
This process still takes time due to the different organizational culture from the previous agency and the sectoral ego.
According to (G.
Hofstede, 2.
several factors influence organizational culture, namely:
Power Distance Index .
mall versus larg.
, measuring the extent to which organizational members who do not have power accept that there is an unfair distribution of power in the organization.
In this culture, subordinates are reluctant to question or disagree with their superiors.
In contrast, organizations with low power distance show an equal/equal relationship between superiors and Subordinates are rarely afraid to disagree with their superiors.
Uncertainty Avoidance .
eak versus stron.
, measures the extent to which organizational members feel threatened by situations that are uncertain, unknown, ambiguous and unstructured.
Organisational members may accept an uncertain future or seek to avoid it.
The nature of this uncertainty is subjective and judged DiA: Jurnal Administrasi Publik, 2022 December Vol.
20 No.
2, e-ISSN: 2615-7268 by the opinions of others about violating organizational rules and their willingness to leave the organization.
Individualism versus Collectivism, in Individualism, organizational members tend to pay attention to themselves and those close to them .
pouse, children, parent.
Individualistic cultures show a tendency to be more selfish and emphasize individual goals.
Individualistic cultures emphasize job success and achievement or wealth and career advancement.
Individualists emphasize the importance of aspects of personal time and work-related Collectivism is the tendency of people to join groups and then take care of each other with the consequence of exchanging loyalty among its Collective cultures place a greater emphasis on groups.
Masculinity versus Femininity.
Masculinity reflects a situation where values are dominant in Masculine society emphasizes the importance of assertiveness and competition .
arnings, rewards/recognition, advancement/promotion and challenges in the work environment.
Femininity reflects a society that has dominant values that care about others, harmony and serenity in life.
This culture considers quality of life and helping others to be important.
Work is seen as a method of earning money for a living.
Long-Term Orientation versus Short-Term Orientation, is the development of research by (Hofstede.
& Bond, 1.
which resulted in the dimension of "Confucian Dynamism".
This dimension was later renamed to long-term orientation.
Societies with a long-term orientation foster values related to future rewards, such as persistence and thrift.
Society with a short-term orientation fosters values related to the past and present, such as respect for tradition, saving one's self-esteem, and fulfilling social obligations.
Indulgence versus Restraint.
Indulgence reflects a society that in its social order is very tolerant of the expression of desires and feelings, especially those related to the use of leisure time, seeking entertainment with friends, purchasing goods, consumption, and sexual matters.
Restraint reflects a society that withholds the pleasures previously mentioned on the indulgence dimension.
People in this condition tend to be less able to enjoy life.
Another weakness is that researchers are still burdened with administrative reporting tasks and for technical research that requires research in the field, it is rather difficult to do considering the current condition which is still a pandemic.
Establishing an organizational culture in a new institution is very critical as a way of working for ASN personnel so that they can work in accordance with the new BRIN vision and mission.
A comprehensive change management program is required to ensure the new organizational culture can be known, understood and implemented by all ASN personnel at BRIN.
The following is a change curve that always occurs in every transformational program that occurs in all organizations (Kybler-Ross, 1.
DiA: Jurnal Administrasi Publik, 2022 December Vol.
20 No.
2, e-ISSN: 2615-7268 Figure 3.
Kubler Ross .
Curve of Change The Kubler Ross cycle was originally designed to describe the different emotional stages of individuals dealing with trauma, illness, and others but these cycles also have similarities with sequences of the circumstances in which individuals cope with and adapt to change (Mcguire et al.
, 2.
BRIN
management needs to shorten the time it takes for the curve to start increasing with the learning process of each individual so that cultural integration can occur.
In addition, the change management program can anticipate the depth of the impact of the change.
Deeper levels of frustration and depression can impact individual and overall organizational performance.
Opportunity Analysis (Mercan & Gykta, 2.
conceptualizes an innovation ecosystem through three components: .
a network of interconnected actors .
ompanies, suppliers, institutions, etc.
) in a particular service or industry.
University and industry collaboration in research and development increases innovation output.
Innovative culture and skilled and educated workforce which are expected to foster innovative activities.
Therefore, collaboration with universities, industry, and other stakeholders is a great opportunity for BRIN to produce research and innovations that are nationally competitive.
The availability of various sources of funding options such as grants, loans, and others -both domestic and abroad- is an opportunity that must be used as well as possible by BRIN researchers.
addition, in accordance with President Jokowi's work program, the first priority is the development of human resources.
BRIN will conduct a research-based learning scholarship program adopting the previous LIPI program and post-doc program through the provision of incentives and research collaboration.
Threats Analysis Research management policies greatly influence research results.
For example, in applying for a patent which takes years for the acceptance process due to complicated bureaucracy, in addition, some research funding will only be disbursed in the middle of the year while the report must be ready by the end of DiA: Jurnal Administrasi Publik, 2022 December Vol.
20 No.
2, e-ISSN: 2615-7268 the year.
In addition, there is also a decrease in the level of public trust in research results that are not used properly because they cannot be used massively.
Offers from the private sector and abroad are also a threat that needs to be considered because their funds are quite large and there is no complicated bureaucracy.
addition, the government's policy regarding budget refocusing for the COVID-19 response is also a threat because the research budget is reduced but research targets must still be achieved.
IFAS and EFAS scores Respondents were then asked to give weights and ratings for the mapping The results are IFAS and EFAS scores as can be seen in Tables 2 and 3 The total column is derived from the number of answers of all respondents with each indicator, the weight column is done by dividing the number of respondents' answers to each indicator by the total IFAS/EFAS, the rating column is obtained by dividing the number of respondents' answers to each indicator by the total respondents, and the last column is the multiplication of Weight by Rating.

BRIN was also established to eliminate overlaps in research and with the integration of various kinds of expertise, it is hoped that research and innovation results will be created and have high competitiveness both nationally and internationally.

CONCLUSION
BRIN's position, which has great strengths and opportunities, and has implemented several anticipations in dealing with internal weaknesses and external threats, can be an achievement of the tasks and functions carried out by BRIN.
The process of strengthening resources and exploiting opportunities as well as overcoming weaknesses and threats is continuously carried out so that BRIN is able to mold an organization with a bureaucracy that is agile, simple, dynamic, and adaptive to changes.
In addition to not only encouraging research collaboration.
BRIN also strengthens the development of science and technology human resources, in accordance with the first priority in President Jokowi's work program, the large number of science and technology human resources will further encourage research activities such as research-based master and doctoral education programs in partnership with domestic and foreign universities.
Various R&D infrastructures and adequate remuneration to be attractive need to be arranged not only for the best graduates in Indonesia but also for the diaspora to return to work and contribute in Indonesia.
The change management program is critical to ensure that the transformation process at BRIN by incorporating various R&D institutions into BRIN can be communicated to all stakeholders so that this change can be accepted, understood and implemented to achieve the vision and mission of BRIN.
Finally, cooperation and collaboration are also easier because there are no barriers between institutions and the contribution of the private sector is needed in the development of research and innovation, namely the development of technology-based products so that research and innovation results can compete ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The author would like to thank the National Research and Innovation Agency which has provided financial support through the Scientific Scholarships for the Education and Training Center of the National Research and Innovation Agency.
