Managerial Skill Perceived Growths in Relation to Entrepreneurship Skills
52 teaching division had to teach clients and needed more people, A in translation
division was asked to be in charge. At that time, Marvy got a project to handle the preparation of SMK N 4 Yogyakarta for English competition. As there were many
kinds of the competition, the demand of the coach was higher. The school demanded more coaches to be in charge in some different kinds of competition
such as debate, story telling, and speech. Because the people in teaching division had been in charge of other projects and more coaches were needed, the
coordinator of teaching division I asked A to join becoming the coach for A was considered able to be in charge of the story telling training. Thus, they
collaborated in the form of substituting one another‟s role for the reason of the clients‟ satisfaction.
Another example of the collaboration was seen when the members faced problems. In the divisions, they collaborated by having discussion on the things
they needed to solve together. In the bigger scope that was in the scope of Marvy, they collaborated by holding monthly meeting to see the progress and the need of
the institution. In the meetings, they answered all question objected to Marvy. They collaborated also by supporting one another. They helped each other when
needed so they were not bound to their own division. Although they prioritized the need of their own division, they also collaborated by taking part of the
unoccupied roles. She stated:

We learn together with friends, so if there was a problem we tried to solve it together. We learn how to discuss with friends in the same
division.
The members of Marvy made collaboration in the internal scope. The members of Marvy maintained good relationship with one another. When it came
to a need of help, other members would hand a help. Therefore, the claim on the collaboration among Marvy members was validated.

A stated
Di Marvy kita mulai belajar menjadi translator itu banyak hal-hal baru yang kita jumpai, kita tidak paham, dan kita harus belajar lagi, dan kita
harus bertanya sana sini, tentu saja ada dosen yang bersedia menjadi tutor istilahnya untuk kita.
In Marvy we started to learn to be translators, of course we faced so many new things, the things that we do not understand, and things that we
need to learn more, we need to ask many people about it. Fortunately, we have a lecturer who is willing to be our tutor in translation.
A said that one collaboration the members usually made was with their lecturer. The lecturer was their academic advisor. This person was also the one
who supported Marvy from the beginning. Therefore, the relation between the members of Marvy and the lecturer was close. They did not feel reluctant to
contact the lecturer if they found any difficulty. It was helpful because Marvy members had a trusted consultant. Fortunately, the lecturer was also an expert in
translation world. This is collaboration with an external party of Marvy. There were two types of collaboration happened in Marvy. They are
internal and external collaboration. Internal collaboration was among Marvy
54 members while external collaboration was between Marvy members and the
lecturer as the consultant.
