He had A LOT of experience... but oftentimes not pleasant experiences... I can't see how Djarum or another club can benefit from a joint venture with Taufik. What can he substantially give to the top clubs? All of the top INA clubs have adequate funding, good coaches, has a loonnnnggg history of producing top players and attracting top talents... decades before Taufik was even born... I like the modern design...
Hmmm.. ..i was thinking the opposite. I know he's a very smart guy but since this is his first time of really venturing in this type of business and as you brought up in your earlier post, running a club "is not as easy as many people thought", perhaps other established clubs (maybe smaller and not as prominent as say PB Djarum) could offer their wealth of experience or expertise to Taufik. If not permanent, then just as a start??..
A good business relationship and a good partnership has to be based on a win-win proposition where both parties benefit. Of course Taufik will benefit, but what will be his contribution to the club that gives him assistance? If not much, then the foundation of a partnership is fragile or probably base-less...
business is business. Why give out business/operation advice to your potential competitor? Is this offer of advice complimentary??
It's great that TH is contributing back to Badminton . Thanks for the pic. Yes, the building design sure looks very modern. It should be interesting to see how it will be set up; I mean the coaching programme for this Badminton School. Personally, I find it's great that TH is contributing back to Badminton, after what Badminton has provided for TH. .
Exactly, cooler... A club helping Taufik with operational/consultancy assitance with not much in return... seems like a one way relationship... It won't work.
If i were TH i would do it differently. But setting up a court/hall is a must. The hall looks a little weird. Dont know who is the designer.
a look at the conceptual picture of th's facility can tell what's was on his mind before he started this project. if well run, the future major winner(s) will be from here - possibly in 2020..unless there are more magicians down there to speed up the results..
Well, then.. ..you guys should all say : "Best of luck to you, Taufik".. *Yes, i thought abt the win-win scenario (or lack of)..
The hall was designed by M. Ridwan Kamil . The hall was designed by M. Ridwan Kamil of Urbane Indonesia, an architecture consulting company in Bandung, West Java, Taufik Hidayat Arena is scheduled to be an asymmetric building with eight badminton courts and two futsal courts. Construction is scheduled to begin in March or April 2010. The arena’s unusual look was intended to relect his personality, Taufik said. "I love being different, and the building’s design is different from other badminton stadiums," he said. When complete, the arena will also include 10 rooms which could be used to house as many as 20 shuttlers. .
we can't see the layout but the perspective view is very nice and looks expensive, maybe along the way, th will extend at the backyard if 8 courts are not enough..
lol....:crying: futsal? mini soccer! smaller artificial grass pitch 25m x 15m, 3-5 aside with a goal keeper... never heard of that in your country?
futsal is indoor mini soccer . As pBmMalaysia posted; futsal is indoor mini soccer. Perhaps in the USA, futsal is not popular. But in Australia, Asia, Europe, etc... futsal is quite popular. If I were Taufik, I would not have included futsal. This is because Badminton is popular enough in Indonesia for his hall to be used/hired out almost all hours. .
for $$$ revenue, in our place which i am managing, 39 badminton courts & 6 futsal pitches the ratio of revenue is 45:55! maybe its starting to hit indonesia or th wants the players running after the ball or he loves futsal!
I think Taufik likes to play football... if not mistaken his 1st love was football but he got more talent in badminton
