Martani Huseini (born 7 March 1951) is an Indonesian academic, bureaucrat, and professor of international marketing at the University of Indonesia. He served as the deputy rector of the University of Indonesia from 2002 to 2005 and the director general of fisheries product processing and marketing from 2005 to 2011.
Born in Kediri on 7 March 1951,[1] Martani initially wanted to study physics at the University of Indonesia, but he majored in business administration instead because he lacked sufficient funds to pay his tuition for the former major. During his studies, he took a side job as a taxi driver for Bluebird Group until he received a scholarship in his second year.[2] He received his bachelor's degree from the university in 1977. He then continued his education to the Aix-Marseille University where he received his master's in company management in 1980 and in applied economy in 1981. He received his doctorate in international marketing from the Paris-Sorbonne University in 1983.[3]
Academic career

Martani taught at the administrative department of the University of Indonesia's faculty of social and political sciences. Outside the department, he also taught at the university's economics faculty and other universities such as the Bandung Institute of Technology, University of Riau, Brawijaya University, University of Jember, and Cenderawasih University.[4] He held a number of administrative positions in the faculty and the university. From 1996 to 2001, he was the third deputy to the director of UI's postgraduate program,[5] before being named as the faculty's dean in 2001.[6] Prior to becoming dean, he was appointed as a full professor in international marketing in 1999, with his inaugural professor speech being read on 25 September 1999.[7]
In 2002, he was one of the fourteen candidates for the first post-autonomy rector of the University of Indonesia.[8] After facing a series of voting by the election committee, academic senate,[9] and the board of trustees,[10] Martani faced the acting rector, Usman Chatib Warsa, in the final stage of the election.[11] During the debates, Martani pledged to involve students as equal partners in campus policymaking, including tuition.[12] He eventually lost the final election to Usman by a one-vote margin.[13][14]
Usman then appointed Martani as his fifth deputy, responsible for institutional affairs and ventures, on 11 October that year.[15] As the deputy rector responsible for institutional affairs and ventures, Martani oversaw cooperation between the university and the Harvard University[16] and launching of the university's public television.[17] He also established the Daya Makara company, a company owned by the university, and became its president director.[4] He later assumed office as member of the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission.[18] In 2005, the university's administration was streamlined, and the office of the third, fourth, and fifth deputy rector were abolished.[19]
