Abstract

The Islamic Boarding School Cooperative (Kopontren) is an economic instrument that plays a role in supporting the financial independence of Islamic boarding schools through the development of various productive business units. The Al-Iman Islamic Boarding School in Malang Regency has developed several cooperative business units, namely a cooperative shop, a fruit juice business, and an ice cream business, which are utilized to meet the needs of students while supporting the operational financing of education and infrastructure. This study aims to describe the management of the Kopontren business unit in supporting the operational financing of education and infrastructure for students and to identify supporting and inhibiting factors in its management. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study approach. The results of the study indicate that the management of the Kopontren business unit has implemented management functions including planning, organizing, implementing, and monitoring. The cooperative shop, fruit juice, and ice business units contribute to the operational costs of education and the maintenance of student facilities and infrastructure. Supporting factors include support from the Islamic boarding school leadership, the high demand for students, student involvement in business management, and a strategic business location. Inhibiting factors include limited capital, limited human resources, business competition, and fluctuations in raw material prices. Therefore, Kopontren plays a crucial role in supporting economic independence and the sustainability of education at the Al-Iman Islamic Boarding School in Malang Regency.
