Activities themed "Write It Easy" was followed by FE-UB lecturers to motivate and invigorate the culture in the form of writing and publication of books / teaching materials.

While on the other hand, the number of professors who can write a text book is pretty many, yet plagued with the publication issue so that the draft publication of textbooks can not be issued. In connection with this fact, two presenters who had long been struggling in the world of writing that are Prof. Mudrajad Kuncoro, PhD, and Ahmad Erani Yustika, PhD, share their experiences and knowledge to participants. In his presentation, Ahmad Erani Yustika, PhD reveal that the FE-UB has a policy to encourage its lecturers to published a paper or book. In the year 2010, it has targeted at least 20 titles of books written by professors. "For that LPP FE-UB will hold various activities that bridge the productive writers with publishers. It is to actualize the FE-UB as a leading institution in the field of economics and business in Indonesia and even international scope," said Erani in the material "Policy Perspectives FE-UB ". To further increase productivity, FE-UB said, would provide incentives for professors who actively publish papers.
