STRATEGI PENCEGAHAN KEGAGALAN TATA KELOLA DI KORPORASI INDONESIA: ANALISIS KUALITATIF MULTI-KASUS
Abstract
This study aims to analyze patterns of corporate governance failure in Indonesia and
formulate contextual and sustainable prevention strategies. The study used a qualitative
approach with a comparative case study method (multi-case study). The study population
included large corporations in Indonesia that have experienced governance scandals, with a
sample of seven cases: TPI, Merpati Nusantara Airlines, Elnusa, Kereta Api Indonesia, Bank
Bukopin, Tiga Pilar Sejahtera Food, and Jiwasraya. Data were collected through secondary
sources in the form of financial reports, audit reports, court decisions, regulatory reports,
credible media, and published interviews. Data analysis was conducted using thematic
analysis to identify failure patterns, complemented by process tracing and cross-case
synthesis. The results indicate that governance failures are systemic and influenced by weak
board independence, owner or political intervention, poor internal control and risk
management, limited forensic oversight, and a culture of impunity. This study produces an
integrated strategy model for preventing governance failures, encompassing strengthening
oversight structures, control mechanisms, ethical culture, and the role of external oversight
and regulation.
