CHALLENGES – SITI KHADIJAH
In a business it must be hard and tough to be success and sustain in the market. Challenges can
make a business fall or maybe growing up. Sometime without conscious, the challenges itself can
make the business be stronger than before.
Movement
For Siti Khadijah, the challenges because of the issue Covid -19 is movement. When the Covid-19
starts to spread and gets worse, our government have taken an action to control the issue which is
creates Movement Control Order (MCO). There are pros and cons of this order. The good side is the
positive patent is decreasing. However, there is something not good to the few businesses. When
the MCO was implemented, all the movement is limited. Also, all the businesses are closed down
and it is a big challenge to the business in order to gain income to pay all the fixed expenses. When
the stores were closed, SK has find a way to ensure their performance is still stable.
Another challenges for SK since they’re in apparel and fashion industry, it is easy for competitor to
substitute or duplicate the design of the telekung. Telekung is a common product where the
business is easy to enter the market. It is quite challenging to SK since they’re easy to have new
competitor or also the competitor can imitate the design. Not just copy the design, also they have
challenges when there are certain who are fake the product. It is not just can cross their sale, but
also can damage the reputation of SK by low quality of the fake one.
In term of product development, it is related to production of the product where can affect the
behaviour of the buyer. Design and quality of the product a little bit would influence the customer
whether to buy or not. Because of that, SK must always have new idea and produce new design of
the telekung. It is also related to the innovation of the product. However, the challenge is main
product of the SK which is telekung is the product that we cannot innovate the design too lot
because of they must follow and refer to Syariah compliance. However, SK can innovate and product
variety of design for their other product such as lifestyle appearance, Kurta, Jubah & Baju Kurung,
also woman accessories.
