Are you ready to face competition in the year 2015? We should be prepared to face the already intense competition in the upcoming the year 2015. Indonesia and other countries in the Southeast Asia region will form an integrated region, known as the ASEAN Economic Community (MEA). MEA is a form of realization of the ultimate goal of economic integration in Southeast Asia. There are four things that will become the focus of MEA by 2015 that could be made into a good momentum for Indonesia. First, countries in Southeast Asia will become a region of the unity of the market and production base. With the creation of the unity of the market and production base, it will create a flow of goods, services, investment, capital in large numbers, and the skilled labour being no hindrance from one country to other countries in Southeast Asia. Secondly, it MEA will be set up as an economic region with a high level of competition, which requires a policy which included competition policy, consumer protection, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), taxation, and E-Commerce. Thus, it can be created in a climate of fair competition; There is a protection in the form of a network system of consumer protection agencies; prevent the occurrence of copyright infringement; creating an efficient transportation network, secure, and integrated; eliminate Double Taxation system, and; increased trade with electronic media-based online. Third, the MEA also will serve as the area that has the economic development evenly, with small and Medium Enterprises on prioritizing (SMEs). The ability and dynamism of SME competitiveness will be enhanced by facilitating their access to up-to-date information, market conditions, the development of human resources in terms of capacity, finance, and technology. Fourth, MEA will be integrated in full against the global economy. With by building a system to improve the coordination of the Member States. In addition, there will be increased participation of countries in Southeast Asia in the global supply chain through the development of technical assistance package to the ASEAN member countries that are less developed. This is done to enhance the capabilities and productivity of the industry so that not only increase their participation on a regional scale but also gave rise to the initiative for a globally integrated. Based on the ASEAN Economic Blueprint, MEA became urgently needed to minimize the gap between ASEAN countries in terms of growth of the economy by increasing the dependence of members therein. MEA can develop the concepts of the meta-national in the food supply chain, and produce a single trading bloc that can deal with and negotiate with importers and exporters of non-ASEAN. For Indonesia itself, MEA will be a good opportunity because of trade barriers will likely diminish even be non-existent. It will have an impact on increasing the export that will ultimately increase the GDP of Indonesia. On the other hand, emerging new challenges for Indonesia in the form of its homogeneity issues traded commodities, e.g. for agricultural commodities, rubber, wood products, textiles and electronic goods (Santoso, 2008). In this case the competition risk would arise with many imported goods that will flow in large quantities to Indonesia which would threaten local industries in competing with foreign products are much higher quality. This will ultimately increase the deficit of trade balance for Indonesia itself. On the investment side, these conditions can create a climate that supports the entry of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) that can menstimulus the economic growth through the development of technology, job creation, the development of human resources (human capital) and easier access to world markets. However, the condition can bring up the exploitation risk. Indonesia still has a less binding regulation level so that it can give rise to acts of exploitation on a large scale against the availability of natural resources by foreign companies coming into Indonesia as a country that has abundant natural resources in comparison to other countries. There is also possibility of exploitation carried out foreign companies could damage ecosystems in Indonesia, while the regulation of investments in Indonesia have not been strong enough to maintain natural conditions including availability of natural resources is contained. From the aspect of employment, there is a very great opportunity for job seekers because it can be widely available employment opportunities with a variety of needs for a wide range of expertise. In addition, access to go abroad in order to find a job easier even could be given without any obstacles. MEA is also a great opportunity for the entrepreneur to find the best worker in accordance with the desired criteria. In this case can bring up the risk ketenagakarejaan for Indonesia. Seen from the side of Indonesia's education and productivity still compete with the labor coming from Malaysia, Singapore, and Thailand as well as the Foundation of the industry for Indonesia itself makes Indonesia ranks fourth in ASEAN (Republika Online, 2013). With the presence of the MEA, the Indonesia have opportunities for utilizing the advantages of economies of scale in the country as a base for a profit. However, Indonesia still has a lot of challenges and risks that will arise when the MEA has been implemented. Therefore, the risk professional is expected to be more sensitive to the fluctuations will occur in order to anticipate emerging risks appropriately. In addition, a beautiful collaboration between State authorities and the businessmen needed infrastrukur, both physical and social (law and policy) needs to be addressed, as well as the need for improved skills and competitiveness of the workforce and companies in Indonesia. Indonesia not to just be a spectator in his own country by 2015 to come.
