The globalization ambivalence era requires a nation to be more anticipative than just reactive to a change taking place in the world so that the nation is able to sustain its existence in the world. Another character that complements this anticipative character i.e. non-territorial transnational actor (ANT) is also needed by a nation to prolong the nation’s existence. Institut Teknologi Bandung (ITB), as one of Indonesia’s ANTs, can play its role in introducing both Indonesia’s traditional or indigenous and intellectual knowledge to the international community. This role may soon be realized if ITB’s community is willing to change its by sector policy into a policy with which ITB (as an ANT) can make the best use of one of its main assets: grey Literature in its interaction with the international community. Grey Literature is defined as an entity representing the whole ITB’s intellectual experience. To accomplish this role, a set of ITB’s strategic programs is descibed. One of the programs is to make the best use of all Indonesia’s embassies to be ITB’s grey Literature agent and relate it with the 8 (eight) leading edge technologies that are predicted to be dominant worldwide in the future.

The success of a project is often evaluated on the basis of the cost amount the project has spent and the punctuality of completing the project. In effect, such aspect as how the project executor is able to interpret the asset user’s interest to do his/her business activities successfully in the project is frequently unobserved. This project executor’s interpretation ability can be seen from the project design he/she creates to meet his/her customer’s satisfaction, for example comfotable atmosphere and function fulfilment of the project. Therefore, to enable an architecture meets the customer up-to-date needs, the enhancement of the Value engineering and innovation to find the lowest cost, easy to implement, and fast method is needed. Monte Carlo Simulation has been used for explaining the method.

The development of interaction among people is nowadays very much influenced by two contradictory factors. They are the unifying interest and tribalism. The later is not in a context of traditional anthropology. The fact can be seen from the trend of regionalism recently, particularly in the region of North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. In the effort of balancing the competitive ability among the three regions, and in making them synergized, it is necessary to pay close attention to the formation of competitive supremacy from time to time. Besides that, since regionalisation involves a group of countries, each of which has each own national interest, it is necessary that the synergy effort has to be led to a balance on the similar element/feature, and not the effort of interest accumulation of each country member of a region. Within this context, this study is conducted with reference to the above mentioned principles, and it is focused mainly on the ASEAN region in which Indonesia is the most influencing country member. The study focuses on the current regionalisation development of the three main regions. Also, the study predicts the targets they intend to achieve by identifying the dominant parameters for the targets and correlates the parameters with the targets. In addition, the extrapolation towards the globally shared values into the concept of Indonesia’s National Resillience is done. The extrapolation is done to enrich the concept of Indonesia’s National Resillience, and the result of which can further be used to strengthen the regional resillience concept. This enriched regional resillience concept is then translated into quantitative parameter which are adopted as the indicators of the regional resillience concept.
