The Implementation of Strategic Management in Non-Profit and Profit Institutions: A Case Study of Pesantren Rahmatan Lil 'Alamin Patianrowo Nganjuk

The acceleration of modernization and the demands for independence of Islamic educational institutions encourage Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) to manage resources more strategically and adaptively. This study analyzes the implementation of strategic management in non-profit and profit institutions as an effort to maintain the institution's sustainability amidst limited funds, infrastructure, and teaching staff. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation and analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The results show that the Islamic boarding school formulates strategies based on spiritual values, character, and social empowerment through a deliberative process of musyawarah. The strategy is implemented through three main approaches: sustainable cadre development, business unit development as a source of income and skills training, and cost efficiency based on the utilization of internal resources. Strategy evaluation is carried out using participatory informal control mechanisms, such as musyawarah and simple financial reports. Key findings indicate that the Islamic boarding school operates as a hybrid organization that combines socio-religious missions with productive economic activities, thereby maintaining the institution's sustainability. This research contributes to the development of strategic management models in Islamic boarding schools and community-based non-profit institutions.
