Abstract

Covid-19 is a recent global crisis in which economic issues are becoming increasingly unpredictable and the number of unemployed people is rising. The negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic may complicate the settlement of Indonesia’s primary development economic concerns. Need-based entrepreneurship drives individuals and businesses into types of innovation that help them earn revenues to support their livelihoods as a way of survival. However, in these times of crisis, a sense of community must also be vital to the success of entrepreneurs, because it is not enough for them to generate income for themselves, but they must also contribute to the larger community where efforts to build wealth are being made. This study aims to analyse how social entrepreneurs are able to solve issues and survive during Covid-19 at Okiagaru Farm Indonesia. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach. This approach also provides an opportunity for researchers to develop research models in accordance with the empirical conditions faced. As a result, describe the actual conditions based on the evidence in the field. This paper will examine how social entrepreneurs can continue to work as a process of obtaining opportunities in the middle of today’s challenges by establishing partnerships or networks among each other. Okiagaru Farm is a social entrepreneur in Cianjur, West Java that is able to make a positive impact by providing that Covid-19 does not have a negative impact on human capital, but rather offers an opportunity for them to quickly adapt to changing demands throughout Covid-19. The results of this study show that social entrepreneurship, especially Okiagaru Farm, can contribute to resolving the effect of the economic crisis, particularly in the case of the Covid-19. Collaborative management that is implemented by Okiagaru Farms also values human capital as key factors. There are trust, motivation, solidarity and respect that are established as pillars. Furthermore, their capabilities are growing in terms of the need for them to adapt quickly.
