PRELIMINARY Islamic boarding schools (ponpes) have long historical trail in doing community

empowerment (Nafik, 2018). Some aspects of empowerment that always carried out by the Islamic
Boarding School is the field of HR, socio-religious and economic. Appearance Nahdlatut Tujjar (NT) in
1918 which initiated by traditionalist pesantren is historical evidence that Islamic boarding schools since
the beginning did have a concern about the economy of the people (Fikri, 2017). NT is also known as one
of the public economic ijtihad NU muassis and Islamic boarding schools who have strategic role in
economic independence people. According to Fauzan, the urgency and role of strategic boarding school
in the context of development economy is based on six factors: [1] Islamic boarding school economic
progress can be financial stimulus activities and development Islamic boarding school, [2] Driver of
economic empowerment the surrounding community, [3] Become a laboratory sharia-based populist
economy, [4] Stimulating the entrepreneurial spirit of students, [5] Encouraging the rate of economic
growth micro-medium and [6] Creating institutional independence and reduce external financial
dependence (Fauzan Adhim, 2020). Some Islamic boarding schools have been able accelerate the
economy. Included in this context are several Islamic boarding schools that are able to make use of to
local potential. According to Churiyah, Local potential in entrepreneurship includes: [1] Human
resources, [2] Natural resources, [3] Cultural resources, and [4] Resources technology (Madziyatul
Churiyah, 2015). OPOP member and economic activist Islamic boarding school in Jember Regency, Imam
Bukhori, said that the local potential of Islamic boarding schools can be accelerated to become an
Economic Potential is agriculture, animal husbandry, workshops, groceries, trade and services (Interview
with Imam Bukhari, 2 November 2020). Research results from Nafik too further emphasize the local
potential that can be worked on by Islamic boarding schools are in the fields of: 1) trade, namely grocery
stores, ice cubes, mini poms, bookstores, etc.; 2) industry processing, namely mineral water, convection,
production of flip-flops, shampoos, etc.; 3) agriculture, including sugarcane, rice, soybeans, corn, etc.; 4)
husbandry, namely laying hens, chickens cut, goat, beef, etc.; 5) crush namely: sengon, coffee, coconut,
tea, etc.; and 6) services, namely hajj/umrah travel, domestic travel, clinic, laundry, etc. (Muhammad
Nafik Hadi, 109).

Ihya'ussunnah and Madinatul Islamic Boarding Schools Ulum is an educational institution religion that
has several breakthroughs in the field of Islamic boarding school economic development. However,
these two Islamic boarding schools have different modes of economic development. The Ihya'ussunnah
cottage develops Islamic boarding school economy through coffee production. Through this coffee
processing industry, Islamic boarding school Ihya'ussunnah is able to free all his students. Starting from
the cost of education to cost of living. This business is managed directly by the students of the
Agricultural Vocational School belonging to the Islamic Boarding School. Ihya'ussunnah Islamic Boarding
School is at coffee plantation center. Commodity This coffee is then used as a one sector of economic
development community and boarding schools. Resources that abundantly makes this coffee production
become great potential. However, it is necessary adequate business management instruments. The
establishment of the Agriculture and Plantation Vocational School in This pesantren is an effort to
support local HR. According to Imam Bukhari, SDM managers in this company come from two circles,
namely local human resources from vocational schools and expert assistants who were brought in from
a high school in Jember district (Interview with Imam Bukhari, 2 November 2020). From the production
side, Coffee BIKLA (Brand; Barokah Ibrahimy Kopi Argopuro Slope) equipped with Standard operational
procedures (SOP) and assistance intense from the head of production. both as a control system over the
whole process production. Meanwhile, in terms of marketing, BIKLA has adopted the system Multi Level
Marketing (MLM) marketing while leveraging the strengths of alumni and sympathizers as the
spearhead of marketing product.

Meanwhile, Madinatul Ulum Islamic Boarding School in the suburbs. Mostly in this region, has potential
in the sector agriculture and animal husbandry. Madinatul Ulum has a business development focus on
livestock sector. This focus option is determined because of the large needs of the Jember region in
general to the supply of chicken meat. In order to support the great need and ensure the sustainability
of livestock production that, Madinatul Ulum did increase its capacity with three strategies main;
namely, Technology development production, improvement of human resource skills and retail market
expansion and partnership (Interview with KH. Lutif Ahmad, 5 November 2020). Simple overview of The
entrepreneurs of the two Islamic Boarding Schools can be seen in Table 1.

The success of these two Islamic boarding schools, especially in building excellence, management
improvisation and develop Technology is the key to success economic development carried out. Table 1
provides an overview of some elements or elements of Islamic boarding school entrepreneurs which
was developed. Stimulus complexity and the system it runs makes two This entrepreneurial model can
exist and developing well. On this basis, then researchers explore best practice entrepreneurship
education developed in these two Islamic boarding schools with focuses on three things: [1] Strategy
development of hard skills and soft skills of human resources, [2] Aspects of the production chain or
production system of the two business models of Islamic boarding schools, and [3] Marketing, namely
strategy and innovation marketing developed by two the boarding school. These three things at once
become basic advantages of entrepreneurship developed by Islamic Boarding School Madinatul Ulum
and Ihya'ussunnah Islamic Boarding School.

THEORITICAL REVIEW Pesantrenpreneur Ecosystem The use of the term pesantrenpreneur it is not
familiar in some circles. This term was first widely used in in 2018 when it became one of the programs

excellence of East Java province in the field of pesantren-based economic development (East Java OPOP
Team, 2019). Pesantrenpreneur itself is a combination of "pesantren" and "entrepreneurs".
Combination of two This terminology “Pesantrenpreneur” has the meaning of an institution or
institution Islamic boarding school that carries out its strategic role in the field of entrepreneurship
through innovative, professional and approach productive (East Java OPOP Team, 2019). Temporary
Therefore, ecosystem means a combination of and a series of various systems or entities. Based on this
it can be understood that pesantrenpreneur ecosystem means several circuits or systems that become
important element in Islamic boarding school entrepreneurship. The pesantrenpreneur ecosystem itself
has four important elements, namely institutional, HR, production and marketing. This is in harmony
with Isenberg's theory, in which he explains that the entrepreneurship ecosystem is has 6 systems,
namely policy, market, finance, human capital, culture, and support (Figure 1) (Armando, 2020). This
theory describes about the complexity of the entrepreneurial system that must be run by a person or
institution. According to Colin, this theory offers a new perspective on the face of entrepreneurship by
making various systems into an equally important unit (Colin, 2014). Although it is still being tested,
Colin added the geographical conditions as part of this ecosystem.

Local Potential The urgency of developing local potential for the benefit of resource utilization is a
necessity (Dayat, 2019). According to Soleh, own local potential is an ability, a power that are at a
certain locus (Soleh, 2017). This potential can be in the form of physical and non physical. Physical
potential includes, condition geography, human resources and other facilities. while non-physical
potential can be in the form of culture, information, cultural dynamics and other. Soleh's opinion is in
line with Churiyah's opinion, where he explained that local resources or local potential includes: natural
resources, human resources, culture and technology. Elements of local potential this can be illustrated
in Figure 2.

HR Development Strategy As one of the important elements in an organization or company, HR always

an interesting study for discussed. In this context, as analytical material to parse and dig HR
development strategy implemented by two ponpes entrepreneurial units, researchers using Guest
theory. As in quoted by Renata, that strategy HR development or known as strategic human resources
management (SHRM) is based on three dimensions, namely Competencies, Motivation and effort and
Opportunities to contribute (Renata, 2017). Three-dimensional and practical steps
