Kassem, Dana. "Electrification and industrial development in Indonesia." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2018. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3788/.
Full textAbstract:
Economists and policymakers have long believed that access to electricity is essential for industrial development, and ultimately growth. Despite this consensus, there is limited evidence of this relationship. In this thesis, I ask whether electrification causes industrial development. I study the effect of the extensive margin of electrification (grid expansion) on the extensive margin of industrial development (firm entry and exit). I combine newly digitized data from the Indonesian state electricity company with rich manufacturing census data. To deal with endogenous grid placement, I build a hypothetical transmission grid based on colonial incumbent infrastructure and geography. The main instrumental variable is the distance to this hypothetical grid. I examine the effect of electrification on local industrial development. To understand when and how electrification can cause industrial development, I shed light on an important economic mechanism - firm turnover. I find that electrification causes industrial development, represented by an increase in the number of manufacturing firms, manufacturing workers, and output. Electrification increases firm entry rates, but also exit rates. Overall, electrification creates new industrial activity, as opposed to reorganizing it across space. I then evaluate the impact of electrification on firm-level performance. I find that connected firms are larger, more likely to exit, and younger. This is consistent with higher turnover at the market level. I look at the implications of the previous results on industry productivity. Higher turnover rates lead to higher average productivity and induce reallocation towards more productive firms. This is consistent with electrification lowering entry costs, increasing competition and forcing unproductive firms to exit more often. Without the possibility of entry or competitive effects of entry, the effects of electrification are likely to be smaller. I use detailed product-level production data to structurally estimate a quantity-based production function, which when combined with price data, allows me to estimate marginal cost. Electrification substantially reduces the cost of production of existing products and their prices. While mark-ups don’t change for incumbent firm-product pairs, the average markup increases in the market. This is due to a selection effect where products produced post access have higher mark-ups. These products are "new" and are more likely to be differentiated.

Full textAbstract:
The primary purpose of this thesis is to quantitatively analyze the production features of the Indonesian manufacturing sector. In particular, using concepts from traditional neoclassical theory of the firm, attention is focused on such aspects as returns to scale and the elasticity of factor substitution. Some empirical knowledge of these features of a production activity is important because of the crucial role they play in many theories of, for instance, growth and development economics, international trade and public economics.
In order to measure returns to scale and elasticities of substitution, the approach adopted was that of production function analysis, using econometric techniques. Cross-sectional Indonesian data for 1983 were fitted to both Cobb-Douglas and CES-type production functions, and the unit of observation is the establishment. Ordinary least squares method was applied in estimating the regression models.
Chapter One is an introductory exposition. It describes the aim and the purpose of the study, while Chapter Two gives a general description of the manufacturing sector as a component of the national economy.
Chapters Three and Four are the main substance of the thesis. In Chapter Three, a theoretical discussion of production functions and common problems usually encountered on the estimation of neoclassical aggregate production functions are given. The chapter is concluded with the discussion and definitions of the data used for the study. Two specifications for the tests of returns to scale and one specification for the tests of elasticity of substitution were formulated in chapter four. And 20 industries were tested for each specification. The results indicate that the majority of these industries show constant returns to scale. Moreover, most of them show elasticity of factor substitution greater than one.M.A.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the current practice of industrial relations, in relation to workers' welfare, with particular reference to three kecamatan (sub-district) of Tangerang, West Java. This study begins by looking at Dunlop's systems theory of industrial relations, which defines industrial relations as a sub-system of the socio-political system in a specific environment. In Indonesia, this sub-system is called the Pancasila industrial relations (PIR). After presenting an overview of industrial relations and practices in economically advanced countries and those prevailing in the developing world, especially in the ASEAN, the thesis goes on to examine the current industrial relations system in Indonesia, drawing attention to internal and external criticisms led by the ILO and European based sectoral trade union organisations. This study confirms the allegations, the most significant of which is the right to organise in Indonesia is limited. It is, however, suggested that the Western nlodel of unionism is not appropriate for adoption, given the fact that workers tend to organise within their own traditional institutions and they can effectively utilise the existing mechanisms to achieve bipartite communications. The specific roles of the tripartite constituents, in terms of providing welfare services in Indonesia are then discussed, in relation to the existing laws and regulations, which suggest that the existing regulations could be strengthened, if integral welfare services are to become more applicable in the Indonesian environment. The study suggests that, there is a solid basis, on which a more relevant indigenous industrial relations structure could be built. While the PIR concept encompasses and enshrines the cultural concepts of the people of Indonesia, the traditional institutions of Paguyuban and/or Arisan can be utilised to create an appropriate means of communication between workers and management. Paguyuban can become a facilitating role for building strong, independent, factory-based trade unions (SPTPs). Together, Paguyuban and the PIR framework can provide a relevant industrial relations system for the renaissance of industrial relations in Indonesia. Chapters six to nine analyse findings based on survey responses from 600 workers, and ten personnel managers, together with interviews with a further twenty personnel managers and factory owners. These analyses suggest that both workers and managers appreciate the importance of welfare programmes in improving workers' welfare. A lack of commitment from factory owners may, however, hinder the implementation of such programmes, although, in principle, they also appreciate the concept.

Aruan, Aulia Liat Parluhutan. "Regional forestry sector modelling of options for industrial forest plantations in Indonesia." Thesis, University of Canterbury. Forestry, 1996. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/7560.
Full textAbstract:
Regional resource planning and decision-making for industrial forest plantation development increasingly involves participation by members of the public. Motivation to maximise or minimise the degree to which groups with various interests can satisfy their individual objectives should recognise outcomes arrived at in a consensus decision-making environment. In this study, a planning framework is devised and adopted, which describes a regional planning system prepared in order to assist in the design and evaluation of strategic industrial forest plantation development in Indonesia.
The central component of this planning system is interactive Multi-Objective Decision Making (MODM) modelling with linkages between optimisation and simulation models. The framework of the whole planning system demonstrates the capability and feasibility of resolving important and conflicting objectives through discussion and communicative decision processes that can be reinforced with modelling sensitivity outputs. In other words, a methodology is developed that allows strategic options for plantation planning to be analysed interactively. The MODM models here are MINMAX and MINSUM goal programming formulations. This model has various features that characterise industrial forest plantation development planning, including physical production, social, economic, environmental, and location aspects. This formulation, moreover, has several advantages such as capturing the essence of the multi-objective decision making problem, encompassing the entire range of feasible tradeoffs among all objectives through parametric programming in order to derive forestland allocations optimally, as well as serving important implementable and practical interests.
A minimum economic size (MES) spreadsheet-based model is run to determine profitable plantation sizes by using financial criteria such as IRR and NPV. The MES model outputs are then incorporated within MODM models.
A major part of the research reported here was to develop a way of transferring data between simulation and LP models directly through file transfers, and transferring LP derived solutions directly back to the simulation model. This linkage has several advantages: for example, theoretically optimal LP solutions are usually unrealistic in practical or implementational terms because of administrative, social, environmental and other similar problems facing forest management; whereas simulation allows one to explore the effects of deviations from "optimal" LP solutions, and to simulate both in more detail and in broader aggregations of things such as age classes, log types and locations. If measures, e.g. wood and financial flows, are unsatisfactory, some constraints are modified and formed for the relevant LP model utilising, for example, the future log assortment flow consequences and the tradeoffs among them. The automated linkage between optimisation and simulation models provides easy data and solution transfers so that decision makers and stakeholders may gain detailed insights before any consensus decisions need to be made.
A geographic information system (GIS) is utilised to enhance pictorially the preferred solutions, information, and appearance.
The whole planning system is demonstrated and tested in an indicative case study. The results display the major advantages of consistency, clarity and simplicity of the approach to regional forestland allocation.
The framework and results at this stage are only preliminary, because some data are still incomplete and unrefined. This study is, therefore, an initial description and explanation of methodology and an indication of the nature of desirable results rather than a firm policy recommendation pertaining to the case study area. In principle, the framework could also become multi-temporal by creating each variable in a time-dependent fashion.
The planning system developed has the ability to incorporate social, financial, environmental, and technical variables in a comprehensive participatory development process. The ultimate value of the quantitative information represented in this framework (or methodology) through a background case study analysis is its ability to facilitate policy formulation to satisfy decision-makers and stakeholders when making informed choices in fundamental management decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Remanufacturing industries account for a considerable share of small medium enterprises (SMEs) in both developed and developing countries. There is an urgent need for a sustainable manufacturing strategy for remanufacturing SMEs in developing countries in order for them to gain global market competitiveness through minimizing environmental impact while maximizing the economic and social benefits of SME manufacturing activities. This research uses Indonesian remanufacturing SMEs as a case study for sustainable manufacturing in developing countries.

PhD thesis, Murdoch University, 2000. https://researchrepository.murdoch.edu.au/id/eprint/51198/.
Full textAbstract:
The central theme of the thesis is that industrial policy and the construction of an industrialized base through state leadership has been persistent in Indonesian political and economic history for five decades. The fall of statism in 1966, the sharp decline of oil prices in the 1980s, and the shift from import substitution to export oriented industrialization did not bring nationalist industrial policy to an end. I propose that the persistence of industrial policy and the state sector is best understood if we accept that patterns of development are not concerned merely with calculations made on the basis of economic efficiency relating to achieving national goals. Ideology and politics are also central elements in explaining the emergence and the survival of nationalist industrial policy in Indonesia. Indeed, these aspects explain the government’s perseverance in encouraging heavy industry as a necessary foundation for political as well as economic independence. Within the context of two competing paradigms: the liberal and the state-centered approaches, the thesis addresses the question of why Indonesia’s industrial development took the course it did. My argument is that in order to understand Indonesia’s industrial policy, we have to look at it as a function of timing-late industrialization, sequencing—large-scale state led heavy industry, and power—bureaucratic-authoritarian regime. It is not simply a technical choice of contending paradigms made by rational individuals on the basis of efficiency in allocating resources. The rise of economic nationalism and the political victories of economic nationalists explain the importance of industrial policy and heavy industry in early industrialization in Indonesia. State investment and nationalist industrial policy remained a dominant theme, even more effective and pervasive, during the 1980s oil-boom. High-technology, strategic industry flourished despite the decline of oil prices following by deregulation. However, it remains to be seen whether the pressures for liberal reforms imposed by the current crisis will bring significant changes to industrial policy and state sectors entrenched in Indonesia for some five decades.

Full textAbstract:
This research aimed to investigate land use change in the area surrounding the Surabaya Industrial Estate Rungkut (SIER) in Surabaya, Indonesia. It was found that the industrial location has encouraged unplanned land use occupation, particularly the growth of informal sector activities. Analysis of government action sees the existence of the informal sector as a problem due to its non-taxpayer status, its illegal occupation of land and the poor environment and image it creates for the wider city. The government’s response to such a situation is to bulldoze the activities and associated development. The land use change that has occurred in the study area identified a precinct designated for residential uses that is currently occupied by commercial activity. This research identified the networks between the formal industrial activity in the industrial estate, and this commercial activity, both formal and informal. It also assessed the impact of the surrounding residential community on land use change. The study then analysed the planning approaches adopted that attempt to segregate land use between industrial and non-industrial uses and the attempts to limit the development of an informal, unplanned, unregulated land use. The study found that the current zoning regulations adopted from developed countries face many implementation problems particularly in providing for the accommodation of a large number of rural migrants. The appropriateness of land use segregation via zoning regulations to minimize the negative impact of industrial activity and to optimise the benefit of industrial land use networks was evaluated. The study recommends the creation of a more flexible and updated planning approach to land use change in Indonesia.

Denny, Hanifa Maher. "Impact of Occupational Health Interventions in Indonesia." Scholar Commons, 2012. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/4308.
Full textAbstract:
Although the Ministry of Health, Indonesia, has achieved some successful occupational health interventions, published literature on such interventions in Indonesia remains scarce.
This study utilized mixed methods of qualitative and quantitative research for the years 2010 and 2011. The qualitative study covered respondents in West, Central, and East Java Provinces to gather stakeholders' perspectives on the impact, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance, and barriers of occupational health services for informal sectors in Indonesia. The quantitative portion measured the impact of occupational health training for community health officers using Reach, Efficacy, Adoption, Implementation and Maintenance (RE-AIM) dimensions. West Java, as a province with a center for occupational health referral services (Balai Kesehatan Kerja Masyarakat/BKKM), was compared to Central Java as a province without BKKM.
The qualitative study showed that interventions improved knowledge of and engagement in occupational health among workers and health officers. Among other improvements, occupational health training resulted in some owners of food processing home industries switching from non-food to food-based coloring. The advocacy program improved local governments' political commitment to funding the occupational health program. The BKKM played important roles in delivering occupational health in West Java Province. The quantitative study showed the efficacy variable to have the lowest p-value (p:<.0001). Meanwhile, the reach variable showed on the second lowest p-value among RE-AIM components (p: <.0190). Moreover, education (p-value: 0.0001), job type (p-value: 0.0015), and job duration (p-value: 0.0289) were considered individual variables that could have contributed to the differences in RE-AIM scores between Central and West Java.
The qualitative study confirmed that occupational health interventions in Indonesia resulted in some positive impacts related to safe and healthy work-related behaviors. The quantitative study found that West Java, a province with BKKM, had a better RE-AIM score as compared to Central Java, a province without BKKM. Some individual variables such as education, job type, and job duration could have contributed to the differences in RE-AIM scores between Central and West Java. The future direction of the occupational health-training program should consider the participants' diversity in their education, job type, and job duration.

Full textAbstract:
This study is about public sector performance measurement in the context of developing economies; more specifically, the study focuses on local government performance measurement systems as applied in Indonesia. Although there have been numerous research studies examining performance measurement, most empirical work has been undertaken in the context of developed economies. Performance measurement research in the milieu of developing economies is still very much underdeveloped and the progress is considerably much slower than those in developed economies. This study adopts an interpretive approach and applied case study research method in order, to develop an understanding of a) what drives the new performance measurement b) how it is designed and c) how it is used? The findings show that performance measurement in the context of developing economies tends to be driven by different reasons than compared to those developed economies. The findings also indicated developing economies encounter various challenges in designing and implementing performance measurement which eventually affected the use and usefulness of performance measurement. This study thus contributes to improve our understanding of the design, implementation and use of performance measurement in the context of developing economies. More specifically, it improves our understanding regarding (i) internal and external driving forces for performance measurement initiatives in the developing economies, (ii) the effectiveness of design, implementation and use, (iii) technical, organisational and institutional factors influencing design, implementation and use and the complex interactive effects of these three categories of factors, (iv) the interdependence between design, implementation and use, and (v) the complex conflicts of interest among different stakeholders in this context.

Park, Kyung Ryul. "Why do aid information management systems fail? : understanding global diffusion of data-driven development initiatives and sustainability failure in the case of Indonesia." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2017. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3726/.
Full textAbstract:
Aid information management systems (AIMS) have been implemented in aidreceiving countries with the hope that they will enable donors and recipient governments to share aid information, enhance data governance and aid coordination among stakeholders. Despite the global popularity of data-driven development initiatives and heavy investment in AIMS, many systems have not fulfilled the expected outcomes. This research seeks to explain this failure from an information systems perspective. Building on a historical overview of AIMS implementation, I first develop an understanding of how such systems evolved and how the visions of aid effectiveness norms that AIMS inscribed have changed over time alongside the shifting global aid governance. This overview clearly shows that, in many cases, AIMS did not attain the result anticipated, and often failed to reach sustainability. I then investigate this sustainability failure, through an interpretive case study of Indonesian AIMS. I trace the change of international and domestic aid governance that shaped the unique context of AIMS in the emerging economy. Investigating the role of state actor, I argue that understanding the failure of AIMS requires a shift of attention from the process of aid management within a country to the global level. It needs to be seen as a result of macro-level events occurring in the global field of aid. In the dynamics of global power relations, the role of technology is multifaceted—a mixture of managerial and rationalizing, as well as symbolic and political roles.

Hancock, Peter J. "Industrial development in Indonesia, development for whom?: A case study of women who work in factories in rural West Java." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 1998. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1453.
Full textAbstract:
This research was conducted in order to address two major research questions: 1) To what extent and in what ways are a cohort of female factory workers in Sundanese West Java influential in the cultural, social and economic development of the geographic area in which they live and more specifically within their own households? 2) To what extent does the Indonesian state support or inhibit such development? In order to answer these and other secondary research questions I conducted qualitative and quantitative research. I used a theoretical framework which directed the methodology, questionnaires and both qualitative and quantitative data was collected whilst in the field in rural West Java. In this thesis I studied a cohort of female factory workers from rural West Java. The research provides more accurate data on the household status and position of young women involved in the industrialisation process in West Java and provides a better understanding of the outcomes and problems of this same process on a regional and national level. 323 women were included in the study, as were their families, during eight months fieldwork carried out in 1996/97 in Banjaran, West Java. This region is undergoing rapid industrial development and as a result is absorbing tens of thousands of young women from traditional lifestyles into factory employment. This transition has significant implications for the status of women in the region, and in Indonesia in general. The measurement of the impacts of industrial capitalism (positive and negative) upon the household, village, regional and national status of such women is the most important way in which this research analyses the implications of factory employment upon women's lives. I argue that Sundanese factory women are extremely important to their household and nation and without their loyalty to both, industrial development would not be successful in contemporary Indonesia. However, Indonesian factory women are heavily inhibited by a repressive and corrupt state. I have argued in this thesis that, more than any other factor (globalisation, modernisation, capitalism), the state in Indonesia is the most inhibitive phenomenon interfering with factory women's ability to share in the benefits of development and at the same time forge a new and improved status for themselves and others. More specifically, the state in Indonesia is structurally organised within strict and traditionally-oriented patriarchal parameters. The failure of this patriarchy to protect its own female factory workers, while at the same time making huge profits from their hard work, is at the centre of discussion within this thesis. It is ironic that this same state (patriarchy) demands the loyalty, discipline and respect of Indonesian women and places the responsibility for the successful development of Indonesian society and economy fairly on their shoulders. However, at the same time, state elites benefit enormously from factory women and women in general, yet provide them no protection and allow only a few to honestly share in the benefits of development. The position of Sundanese factory women vis-a-vis the state and industrial capitalism is discussed with the aid of major development theories, original research and data from similar studies to cement clearly in the minds of the readers the notion that, more than any other factor, the Indonesian state is failing most Indonesian people and specifically failing Indonesian factory women. In this thesis, the status and position of factory women act as delicate indicators of the levels of social justice and injustice in Indonesia and the extent to which major groups in Indonesian society are excluded from sharing fully in the benefits of development.

"Application of fuzzy logic, GIS and remote sensing to the assessment of environmental factors for extensive brackishwater aquaculture in Indonesia." Publisher:University of New South Wales. Biological, Earth & Environmental Sciences, 2008. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/41444.
Full textAbstract:
Extensive brackishwater aquaculture, which is a dominant land-based aquaculture system in Indonesia, has experienced variable success in most farming locations in the country due to poor understanding of spatial assessment of environmental factors and rudimentary site selection criteria. Despite tremendous potential, the application of GIS and remote sensing in spatial assessment has tended to focus on Boolean (Crisp) logic that is often unable to effectively handle the complexity and spatial variability of key environmental factors for the development of aquaculture. This study explored the possibility of integrating fuzzy logic techniques into GIS and remote sensing technology to generate more robust mapping protocols in aquaculture, compensating for the disadvantages of the Crisp method. Two models were developed in two different provinces in Indonesia to spatially assess soil and hydrological constraints on extensive brackishwater aquaculture. The soil assessment focussed on acid sulfate soils (ASS) and sandy-textured sediments in Aceh, and the hydrological study focused on investigating important wave parameters that influence the suitability of coastal areas for siting extensive pond units in South Sulawesi. The study showed that fuzzy-based classification methods, integrated into the image analysis, was highly effective in identifying existing and potential pond areas for extensive brackishwater aquaculture compared to the best result of the commonly used Crisp method. By addition of one or more key environmental variables of ASS into the fuzzy-classified existing and potential ponds areas, a very robust predictive tool to identify potential ponds areas affected by ASS in Kembang Tanjung, Aceh was developed. A more detailed assessment of ASS developed in this study also successfully highlighted the severity of sandy-soils and identified them as another key soil variable that has and will severely impact on pond productivity. The second model developed by the study enables fuzzy logic to be integrated into GIS to predict the possible areas impacted by moderate to high energy wave conditions and possible ways of minimising their direct and indirect impacts. The models developed in this study were shown to work well in both study sites and can be applied elsewhere. The mapping outputs are easy to interpret even by stakeholders with no prior training in map reading. Overall, the models have the potential to reduce planning errors and to improve decision making in aquaculture provided that quality data sources are used.

Full textAbstract:
After an introductory chapter, chapter 2 reviews and assesses the existing theoretical and empirical literature on TFP growth. A detailed review of the economic and historical literature on productivity growth in Indonesian manufacturing follows. This allows constructing a new methodology for the estimation of aggregate TFP growth in Indonesian manufacturing, using a panel dataset of establishments over the period 1975-95. New estimates are presented and compared with historical evidence. Chapter 3 further emphasises the issue of establishments' heterogeneity by presenting a meticulous review of both the theoretical and empirical literature on industrial demography. Chapter 4 investigates further the heterogeneity of manufacturing establishments in terms of productivity, and size. It offers a comprehensive demographic study of manufacturing establishments over the 21-year period, focusing on productivity and size differentials, as well as on establishments' entry and exit. In a second part, relaxing the representative plant hypothesis and taking establishments' turnover effect into account, I present several decompositions of aggregate TFP growth into incumbents' contribution and the contribution of entrants and exiters. Chapter 5 draws on this literature and tests econometrically the different hypotheses aiming at an explanation of establishments' productivity heterogeneity. Hypotheses are tailored to the Indonesian manufacturing sector through a careful reference to the economic history of the sector. Chapter 6 offers three detailed historical and economic industry studies, aiming at the discovery of central factors and processes explaining the evolution of the manufacturing sector in terms of productivity change and establishments' demography. It also tests econometrically hypotheses regarding the main factors explaining survival and exit of establishments. Chapter 7 recalls the results of the reestimation of aggregate TFP growth using a new methodology, and brings together the main outcomes of the subsequent chapters, thereby offering an explanation of aggregate TFP growth with detailed microeconomic mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
This research seeks to explain the unevenness in development across Indonesian provinces. Existing studies are mostly framed by mainstream growth theory in an attempt to explain the divergence and/or convergence of regional rates of economic growth. Those studies, however, pay insufficient attention to geographically specific socio-political relations in shaping the capacity of regions to grow toward different, and usually diverging, paths of development. In investigating why and how regions differ in their capacity to carry out development, an evolutionary approach is adopted to reveal the place-specific aspects influencing regional growth. This research particularly looks at an important aspect of regional development, i.e., its industry structure. Regional industry structures arguably mirror regions' capabilities in developing new industries, which, in turn, shape its future development paths. Regional change is understood as an industrial branching process, with regions diversifying into industries related to the existing industry structure. While new industries are important for regions seeking to diversify their economic bases, the direction of regional evolution is often assumed to be moving toward more sophisticated industries. In fact, industries that are highly motivated by lower domestic factor costs may cause regions to pursue low-end economic activities. Moreover, while the endogenous process of industrial branching is observed in regions of the countries in the Global North, work on regional development in the countries of the Global South highlights the role of exogenous relations, often in the form of foreign direct investment (FDI) in initiating development processes. This thesis thus improves evolutionary work on industrial branching by taking into account the direction of branching, the role of FDI, and the influence of factor costs in the evolution of regional industry in Indonesia. Most importantly, the interaction of those endogenous forces and other factors of production is shaped by specific regional institutions, which are part of the analysis as well.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis has aimed to explore the strategy chosen by unions in multinationals which in turn would influence the union’s behaviour towards the management in the so-called ‘neo-liberalism’ environment. Multinationals were chosen for this thesis as multinationals have been among the role players in Indonesian economy particularly after the Suharto’s era (1966-onwards). As cheap labour is one of the necessary conditions to attract foreign investment as Indonesia does not have technological superiority or abundant skilled labour, it was important to examine the role of trade union in multinationals as the representative of the employees to enhance to conditions of its members. Four multinationals from different industries were studied to enable comparison.The theoretical model underpinning this thesis has been that of Huzzard’s (2004) strategic choice model. This model suggested that there are four levels of strategy which unions would have to choose. The Huzzard’s strategic choice model ranges form choosing and defining the union’s mission, ideology and identity to that of choosing union’s structures, processes and capacities. This model also suggests that the choice of the strategy is highly influenced by the internal and external factors of the union.

Full textAbstract:
This study is aimed at developing policies for energy efficiency by observing the past changes of energy use in Indonesia???s manufacturing sector over the period 1980???2000, and to investigate mitigation options for energy-related CO2 emissions in the sector. The first part of the study uses decomposition analysis to assess the effect of the changes in energy consumption and the level of CO2 emissions, while the second part investigates energy efficiency improvement strategies and the use of economic instruments to mitigate CO2 emissions in the manufacturing sector. Economic activity was the dominant factor in increasing energy consumption over the whole period of analysis, followed by the energy intensity effect and then the structural effect. The increase in aggregate energy intensity over the period 1980-2000 was mainly driven by the energy intensity effect. In turn, the technical effect was the dominant contributor to changes in energy intensity effect, with the fuel-mix effect being of lesser importance. Changes in CO2 emissions were dominated by economic activity and structural change. Sub-sectors that would benefit from fuel switching and energy efficiency improvements are the textile, paper, and non-metal sub-sectors. Three main options for reducing CO2 emissions from the manufacturing sector were considered: the imposition of a carbon tax, energy efficiency initiatives, and other mitigation measures. A carbon tax was found to reduce sectoral emissions from the direct use of oil, gas and coal, but increased the demand for electricity. At the practical level, energy efficiency improvements can be implemented by adopting energy efficient technologies that can reduce aggregate energy intensity up to 37.1 per cent from the base-year level, estimated after imposition of a carbon tax at $30 per tonne of carbon. A major priority for energy efficiency improvements was found to be in the textile and the paper and chemical sub-sectors. A mitigation measure such as the Clean Development Mechanisms could be encouraged in order to reduce projected emission levels. The preferred option would be the adoption of energy efficient technologies in the textile, chemical, paper and non-metal sub-sectors.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this research study is to explore what ethical issues emerge in the Indonesian mining industry? What shapes the emergence of these issues and how do organisations engage with them? Many research studies (e.g. Dierksmeier, 2013; Bowie, 2002; Cragg, 2002; and Moberg, 1997) emphasise the relevance of ethical theories in understanding ethical issues in business organisations. However, there remains a significant gap in the business ethics literature in understanding ethical issues in a context-sensitive manner. There is little awareness in most of these studies of the influence of the social structure of a multi-ethnic and multicultural society like Indonesia or of the specific industrial and organisational contexts which are being explored. There is therefore a challenge for researchers to provide a conceptual framework to study ethical issues which will fit the Indonesian mining companies’ situation. This research employed Critical Realism (CR) and a qualitative approach. Data was collected from forty-eight participant interviews with managers and employees of four mining companies in Indonesia. This made it possible to understand what ethical issues emerge in the mining industry and to examine what shapes their emergence, as well as how mining companies engage with the ethical issues. The findings revealed that the companies’ ethical concerns result from the particular characteristics of the industry and the Indonesian national culture. However, their ethical concerns typically reside in risk management and regulatory compliance. The findings showed that cultural mechanisms shape the emergence of ethical issues in the industry: family perspective and paternalism, religiosity, and multi-ethnicity. The study findings suggest that the mechanisms shaping the emergence of ethical issues at the organisations presented at times conflicting cases of instrumental or possibly unethical behaviour but also evidence of set rules and regulations as well as moral awareness, practices aimed at considering others and stakeholders’ interests. This research argues that to understand the ethical issues and how business organisations engage with them in a multi-ethnic and multicultural context, it is essential to ground the conceptual framework in both ethical theories and specific cultural sensitivities, as only then can the full story be grasped.

Full textAbstract:
L'hypothèse principale dans ce travail est que même si la production industrielle en Indonésie a été influencée par le long processus de changement de régime de l'économie politique institutionnelle, il n'a pas encore déclenché le processus d'industrialisation et donc le développement en Indonésie n'ont pas changé de manière significative en dépit de sa grande taux de croissance de longue période, surtout par rapport à la Chine et l'Inde qui ont connu la stratégie d développement à peu près semblable et identique. Afin de vérifier notre hypothèse, ce travail utilise l'approche de taux de profit, celui du régime de croissance et celui d'entrée-sortie, à la place de la théorie néo -classique. Notre analyse montre que l'Indonésie a connu une baisse significative de son taux de profit 1971-2005 accompagnée d'une baisse de régime de croissance (la croissance de productivité et celle de demande) et un petit nombre de secteurs liés. la situation était nettement différente d'abord en Chine puis en Inde, où est observée et une légère augmentation de taux de profit, le régime de croissance et un certain nombre de secteurs liés, donc c'est un bon signal pour le processus d'industrialisationThe intuition behind this work is that even though the industrial production in Indonesia has been influenced by the long process of political economy regime changes, it has not triggered yet the process of industrialization and 50 the development in Indonesia have not changed significantly despite of its high growth rate for long period, especially compared to China and India that have experienced almost similar and identical development strategy. ln order to veri our hypothesis, this work uses profit rate, growth regime and input-output approaches, instead of neo-classical theory. Our analysis shows that Indonesia has experienced a significant decline in its profit rate from 1971 to 2005 accompanie by a decline in growth regime (productivity and demand regime) and a small number of linked sectors. The situation was sharply different first in China then, India, where a slight increase of profit rate, growth regime and a number of linked sectors is observed and 50 this is a good signal for the industrialization process

Awarded by:University of New South Wales - Australian Defence Force Academy, 2008. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/39747.
Full textAbstract:
Although remotely sensed data have been employed to assess various environmental problems, relatively few previous studies have focused on the impacts of mining. In Indonesia, mining activities have increasingly become one of major drivers of land cover change. The majority of remote sensing research projects on mining environments have exploited optical data which are frequently complicated by tmospheric disturbance, especially in tropical territories. Active remote sensors such as Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) are invaluable in this case. Monitoring by Independent SAR data has been limited due to single polarisation. Dual-polarised data have been employed considerably, although for some forestry applications the data were found insufficient to retrieve basic information. This Masters thesis is devoted to assess fully polarimetric SAR data for environmental monitoring of the tailings deposition zone of the PT Freeport Indonesia Grasberg mine in Papua, Indonesia. The main data were two granules of the AIRSAR datasets acquired during the PACRIM-II campaign. To support the interpretation and analysis, a scene of Landsat ETM February 2001) was used, juxtaposed with classified aerial photographs and a series of SPOT VEGETATION images. Both backscattering information and complex coherence matrices, as common representations of polarimetric data, were studied. Primary applications of this research were on degraded forest and environmental rehabilitation. Most parts of Indonesian forests have experienced abrupt changes as an impact of clear-cut deforestation. Gradual changes such as those due to fire or flooded tailings, however, are least studied. It was shown that the Cloude-Pottier polarimetric decomposition provided a convenient way to interpret various stages of forest disturbance. The result suggested that the Entropy parameter of the Cloude-Pottier decomposition could be used as a disturbance indicator. Using the fully polarimetric dataset combined with Support Vector Machine learning, the outcomes were generally acceptable. It was possible to improve classification accuracy by incorporating decomposition parameters, although it seemed insignificant. Land rehabilitation on tailings deposits has been a central concern of the government and the mining operator. Indigenous plant pioneers such as reeds (Phragmites) can naturally grow on dry tailings where soil structure is fairly well developed. To assist such efforts, a part of this research involved identification of dry tailings. On the first assessment, interpretation of surface scatterers was aided by polarimetric signatures. Apparently, longer wavelengths such as L- and P-band were overpenetrated; hence, growing reeds on dry tailings were less detectable. In this case, the use of C-band data was found fairly robust. Employing Mahalanobis statistics, the combination of HH and VV performed well on classification, having similar accuracy with quad polarimetric data. Extension on previous results was made through the Freeman-Durden decomposition. Interpretation using a three-component image of odd, even bounce and volume scattering showed that dry and wet tailings could be well distinguished. The application was benefited from unique responses of dielectric materials in the tailings deposit on SAR signals; hence it is possible to discriminate tailings with different moisture levels. However, further assessment of tailings moisture was not possible due to security reasons and access limitations at the study site. Fully polarimetric data were also employed to support rehabilitation of stressed mangrove forest on the southern coast. In this case, the Cloude-Pottier decomposition was employed along with textural parameters. Inclusion of textural properties was found invaluable for the classification using various statistical trees, and more important than decomposition parameters. It was concluded that incorporating polarimetric decompositions and textural parameters into coherence matrix leads to profound accuracy.

Hartono, Arif. "Innovation in middle-income and high-income countries : a comparative study of Indonesia and UK manufacturing firms." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2017. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/99344/.
Full textAbstract:
This PhD thesis aims to investigate innovation activities in developing and developed countries and it comprises three papers. More specifically, it compares innovation activities between manufacturing firms in Indonesia and in the UK. The first paper (Chapter 2) aims to identify and compare the variations in the knowledge sourcing strategies (KSS) employed, and innovation barriers faced, by manufacturing firms in high-income (HI) and middle-income (MI) countries by using global innovation data derived from the UNESCO Institute of Statistics (UIS). The paper shows that manufacturing firms in HI and MI income countries have different types and levels of KSS. Knowledge from internal R&D is sourced more frequently by manufacturing firms in HI countries than by their counterparts in MI countries. While external knowledge from government or public research institutes; conference, trade fairs and exhibitions; scientific journals and trade/technical publications are sourced more frequently by manufacturing firms in MI countries. This paper also reveals that manufacturing firms in MI countries face greater innovation barriers internally and externally than those in HI countries. Internally, manufacturing firms in MI countries face greater obstacles related to costs/funding and knowledge. Externally, firms in MI countries face greater constraints related to costs/funding, knowledge, the market and other reasons in regard to not innovating than their counterparts in HI countries. Lastly, innovation policy implications are drawn from this paper. The second paper (Chapter 3) investigates and models the innovation value chain (IVC) that encompasses knowledge sourcing, transformation, and exploitation activities among Indonesian manufacturing firms by using data from the Indonesia Innovation Survey (IIS) 2011. This paper is different from the previous IVC studies in a number of ways. First, in this study a range source of knowledge (i.e. R&D activities, informal interactions with various external actors, and formal cooperation with various external partners) is tested. Second, the relationship between a wide range of innovation barriers and the IVC, which to date has received little attention, is also investigated. Lastly, wider innovation (i.e. organisational and marketing innovation) is assessed. The study finds the existence of a synergistic relationship between internal and external sources of knowledge as well as among external sources of knowledge in the first link of the IVC. In terms of the second link of the IVC, internal R&D plays an important role that positively influences knowledge transformation into all types of innovation and innovation success. External knowledge that has a similar pattern in shaping innovation mainly comes from market/commercials (i.e. customers and competitors), open sources (i.e. events) and formal cooperation with suppliers. Scientific institutions tend to contribute to innovation in a negative manner, and few positive impacts on process innovation are observed from government R&D and non-profit R&D institutions. The study also finds that informal knowledge is more strongly associated with innovation and innovation success than formal knowledge. Both informal knowledge and formal cooperation are more likely to influence traditional innovation (i.e. product and process innovation) than wider-innovation (i.e. organisational and marketing innovation). In general, the hampering factors with regard to innovation are financial and knowledge factors. Striking findings in the last link of the IVC are innovation new to the market, innovation new to the firm, and innovation success do not lead to the firms’ performance. Lastly, relevant innovation policies are drawn from this paper. The third paper (Chapter 4) compares the IVC which consists of knowledge sourcing, transformation, and exploitation performed by Indonesian and UK manufacturing firms. This study is worthwhile for the following reasons. First, despite comparative studies on the IVC not being new to the literature, it is interesting to understand and compare the IVC between developing and developed economies as up to now, this has not been done. This study provides a new insight on a micro-level analysis of the IVC comparison between developing and developed countries by modelling which specific knowledge is sourced by firms, the impact of the sourced knowledge on innovation, and the impact of innovation on firms’ performance. Second, this study investigates a broader source of knowledge that is classified into R&D activities, informal knowledge and formal cooperation. Third, implementing traditional innovation in isolation has been criticised, and hence, in this study the impact of knowledge transformation on both traditional and wider innovation as well as the exploitation of both types innovation on firms’ performance is tested. In terms of the first link in the IVC, for both countries, synergistic relationships exist within and between each group source of knowledge (i.e. R&D, informal knowledge and formal cooperation). However, the nature of these complementarities tends to differ across the two countries. In regard to the second link in the IVC, in UK firms, both internal and external R&D appear to have a direct impact on innovation. While for Indonesia, the positive and significant impact of internal R&D on diverse types of innovation is stronger than that of external R&D; informal knowledge sourced from market/commercials makes a greater contribution to innovation and innovation success for Indonesian firms than UK firms. By contrast, formal cooperation provides a greater contribution to innovation for the UK than for Indonesia. However, such cooperation is more likely to be conducted with market/commercials network. In terms of the last link in the IVC, there is no single positive and significant contribution in terms of the link between product innovation (including new to the market and firm innovations) and firms’ performance, or between innovation success and firm performance in either country. In addition, for both countries, different types of innovation affect firms’ performance differently. For Indonesian firms, both traditional and wider innovation positively and significantly impact firms’ performance, while for UK firms only traditional innovation that has such effect.

Patrisia, Dina. "The relationship between corporate diversification, corporate governance and corporate social performance in Indonesian companies." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2016. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/32622/.
Full textAbstract:
The effect of corporate diversification on behaviour of business towards stakeholder demands and social concerns has been overlook, especially in product diversification both related and unrelated diversification. This study investigates the relationship between corporate diversification (CD) (i.e. related, unrelated and international diversification) and Corporate Social Performance (CSP) in Indonesian listed companies. It explores the moderating effect of corporate governance (CG) (e.g. independent commissioner and ownership concentration) on the correlation between corporate diversification and CSP. This study takes 203 listed companies from the Indonesian Stock Exchange as the sample. It applied company annual report, Indonesian Capital Market Directory and Osiris database as sourced of data. Moreover, content analysis based on 80 indicators of Global Report Initiative is used to measure CSP, while multiple regression with one-year lag dependent variables is used as the primary data analysis. The result of multi regression analysis shows that related and unrelated diversification produced different outcomes whereby related diversification is negatively correlated with CSP. Unrelated diversification, conversely, reveals a positive relationship with CSP. Moreover, unrelated diversification is more positively correlated to CSP than the related CD, while international diversification also has a positive relationship with CSP. Furthermore, an independent commissioner could strengthen the CD-CSP relationship with regards to unrelated and international diversification. Conversely, ownership concentration could weaken the CD and CSP relationship for related diversification. In conclusion, this study contributes to theoretical development (i.e. it explains the link between product diversification, international diversification and CSP in emerging economies setting. It extends previous studies by considering the role of CG as a moderator, and uses content analysis based on GRI indicators in measuring CSP). Additionally, it has managerial implications, including a manager needs to consider CD and carefully manage the demands of an extensive range of stakeholders to increase CSP. Second, in order to maximise the impact of corporate diversification strategy on CSP, a manager has to think sensibly, based on the CG dimensions in the company, such as the number of independent commissioners and ownership concentration. Third, this study provides input to managers who run their businesses in emerging economies that have some differences with developed economies, for instance local rules, regulations and governmental control. Fourth, it also has an impact on the economy of Indonesia. For example, the government should establish regulations suitable for several types of industry and encourage the listed companies to implement good CG. Finally, limitations and further research directions are discussed.

Prabawani, Bulan. "An exploratory examination of the factors influencing Indonesian SME's sustainability practices in the textile and chemical industries." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2013. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/576.
Full textAbstract:
All firms have an impact on the environment in which they operate, for example in the exploration and processing of environmental resources to make a profit. Manufacturing firms, in particular have the potential to pollute the environment with dangerous liquid and solid wastes. Small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) make a significant contribution to the global economy in both developing and developed countries. Individually, SMEs appear to have little environmental impact, but accumulatively, they have a considerable impact, not only economically but also environmentally. However, managing environment impact is not usually core business for SMEs.
SMEs often suffer from a lack of internal resources and capabilities. For example they can have limited access to credit given their high risk, limited warranty, and lack of managerial experience or track record in managing aspects such as financial, production, and sales data. In terms of environmental issues, SMEs often attract little attention from the media, although government does support environmental management initiatives. Consequently, SME owner managers can be indifferent to, or unable to implement, sustainability practices. Thus, natural resources become objects of exploitation or over exploitation.
Although there are many differences in sustainability definitions, all definitions have at their heart the same objective, that is, how today‘s firms‘ needs are fulfilled such that they do not harm the future. This is evident in definition of sustainability in the business field as ―one that creates profits for its shareholders while protecting the environment and improving the lives of those with whom it interacts‖ (Savitz & Weber, 2006, p.x). Thus, the concept of sustainability is not one which is solely orientated to economic aspects or profit, but also to social and natural aspects, in terms of the triple bottom line (TBL) in undertaking business.
Indonesian SMEs in the manufacturing industry are a source of significant employment; however, they suffer a range of issues. The Asian Development Bank (2005) reported that industrial waste and pollution in Indonesia is out of control, while regulation and enforcement by government is completely inadequate. Studies have shown Indonesia‘s chemical based manufacturers contribute to air pollution, contamination of water sources, and depletion of groundwater through improper and illegal disposal of solid and hazardous waste.
The focus of this thesis is SMEs sustainability: perceived benefits, drivers for and barriers to sustainability. As such this is a study of the natural, social, and economic dimensions that make up the concept of sustainability in relation to Indonesian SMEs. The literature identifies a range of natural, social and economic factors influencing sustainability and these were collated into a model. Eight case studies of SMEs in the Central Java chemical and textile industries were undertaken to refine the measures in the model of sustainability. The overall sustainability of the case study firms was also assessed while hypotheses were constructed as to the relationships between constructs and firms sustainability practices based on firm types and size, as well as industry.
A survey of 215 chemical and textile SMEs was then undertaken to test the refined model and develop a final model. The model was developed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) or a measurement model, which included some second order factors for dependent latent variables, and then followed by a structural model which combined each final measurement model. The final model was found to have a high fit (.971 CFI,/df, .041 RMSEA, and .081 RMR) with efficiency as a critical factor influencing sustainability practices.
Overall the study found that sustainability practices were not first priority for these SMEs although they were more inclined towards the present interests in the Sustainable Value framework developed by Hart and Milstein (2003). Indonesian SMEs emphasised resource consumption and civil society issues. In terms of the level of sustainability this group of SMEs were found to have moved ‗beyond the level of legal compliance‘ in terms of their sustainability practices. While Hubbard‘s (2009) Sustainability Balanced Scorecard stresses a balance between the economic as well as the natural and social dimensions of sustainability, this balance was not evident for these Indonesian SMEs. The SME owner managers were also more concerned with the social dimension of sustainability and this was at odds with their perception of the government‘s concern being with the natural dimension of sustainability. However moral mandate was evident as a driver for the natural and social dimensions of sustainability as has been found in other studies of SMEs in developed countries such as New Zealand and the Netherland.

Full textAbstract:
Research on small firm internationalization has been conducted intensively over the last few decades. However, knowledge of small firm internationalization varied. This research addresses the question of this variety in small firm internationalization applying the stage models theory, network theory, resource-based theory and international new venture. As the more recent studies showed that researchers have inclined towards one conclusive finding of the central role of the manager in internationalization, the key explanation of the inconclusive knowledge about small firm internationalization possibly resides in the decision made by the manager. Thus, this research explored the process of making an internationalization decision using rational decision-making process theory. To give a different perspective from the existing internationalization theories that have been developed around manufacturing firms in developed countries, this research was conducted on manufacturing firms in a developing country, Indonesia. A mixed-method approach was used to generate a model of internationalization decision-making process. The results showed that internationalization decision was a manager-centred activity and the manager’s capability and learning processes were essential in determining the decision. Accordingly, variety in managers’ capability was likely the cause of variety in small firm internationalization. Future research should be directed to the individual level of the manager instead of the firm or industry level if understanding internationalization of small firms is the aim. To be effectiveness, policy and programs addressing internationalization of small firms should consequently also be directed to increasing managerial capabilities and to providing real-life experience for learning.

Full textAbstract:
Bandung is the capital of the West Java province in Indonesia; the country's third largest city and second largest metropolitan area. I live and work in Bandung and see a great potential for the creative industries. The creative industries is already developing, but organically and can only manage to grow to a certain level. Further progress enabled by developing a better strategy needs to be put forward. The strategy also aimed to influence regional and national approach in developing the creative industries. This thesis is organized around three primary objectives which are (1) The history and current condition of the creative industries; (2) Issues in optimizing the development of the creative industries; and (3) Possible framework for development strategies. The research is informed by an analysis of empirical and conceptual studies from a whole set of subjects including the concept of creativity, creative industries, creative economies, the concept of creative cities and the relations of cultural industries to cultural policy. The research is based on a study of key players using surveys, case studies and in-depth interviews to obtain information and capture the knowledge, understanding, and experiences from the respondents regarding the creative industries in the city. The method is mainly influenced by subjective theories approach from Norbert Groeben (1990) to study and investigate everyday knowledge. The thesis concludes by revisiting the empirical findings from an analytical standpoint grounded on the reasoning and on the evidence presented. Concluding observation indicates that there are four key areas of strategies which are (1) Trust building; (2) Governance and engagement; (3) Physical evidence; and (4) The soft infrastructure. It is believed that not a single policy measure will be able to fully optimise the development of creative industries. Rather, a creative industries development strategy contains a collection of different elements.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explored the knowledge dynamics of cultural industries in Yogyakarta Region. The aims of this paper are to explain how local knowledge is circulated and how new elements are added, as well as to find out how different kinds of knowledge are anchored. This thesis contributes to fill the gap of the lack of research conducted to explain knowledge dynamics in the context of Indonesian cultural industries. Cultural industries have been increasingly considered important towards economic development, whereas territorial knowledge dynamics (TKD) is considered as an update of the traditional territorial innovation models (TIM). The empirical part of this paper contains data collected from interviews with the representatives of sixteen firms, five government institutions, three local trade associations, one local youth organisation and one non-governmental organisation. The finding reveals that direct observation, face-to-face contact, and local buzz are important towards the circulation of local knowledge within the clusters. Different kinds of innovations were also found, involving multidimensional aspects at micro-levels. In a few cases, innovation was influenced by the presence of global pipelines. Knowledge anchoring happened in a complex process and involved a number of actors in multiple locations and scales. This thesis argues that policy makers should increasingly incorporate the concept of territorial knowledge dynamics (TKD) in the development of Indonesian cultural industries.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, more researchers have begun to examine coping behaviour on the individual level during organisational change. This study explores the effects that emotional intelligence and personality traits might have on coping behaviour of state-owned enterprise employees during a period of organisational change. In particular, the present study (1) explores the concept of organisational change in an Indonesian state-owned enterprise, (2) creates an appropriate scale for coping with organisational change, (3) explores whether personality traits correlate with employees’ coping behaviour during organisational change, (4) explores whether emotional intelligence correlates with employees’ coping behaviour during organisational change, (5) explores whether age, gender, and tenure have moderating effects on the roles of personality traits and emotional intelligence in coping with organisational change. Conceptual frameworks were developed in line with the concepts of organisational change, coping, state-owned enterprise, personality traits, and emotional intelligence. SPSS was employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Data were collected from 300 employees of an Indonesian state-owned enterprise. The study revealed that: (1) individual coping occurred regardless of whether or not organisational change was common or was expected, (2) five main coping strategies of, resistance, problem solving, self-blame, avoidance, and obtaining information, were used to develop a Coping with Organisational Change Scale (COCS), (3) extraversion, emotional intelligence, and rank were significantly correlated with problem solving, (4) agreeableness was significantly correlated with self-blame, and (5) there were no moderating effects of age, gender, and tenure in coping with organisational change. The implications of these findings are discussed in terms of the existing literature on coping with organisational change, and the fundamental conceptual framework set out at the beginning of this research could shape the direction for future research on the construct of coping with organisational change.

Full textAbstract:
Both private-sector strategic planners and public-sector industry policy analysts have the need for a systematic approach to industry-level analysis to provide a basis for strategic and policy interventions in industry. Currently a systematic attempt at industry-level analysis requires the simultaneous use of a plethora of techniques such as Porter's five forces for competitive analysis, value chain analysis for cost structure and other aspects of competitive analysis, network approaches to examine inter-organisational transactions, as well as population ecology to examine population dynamics. Building scenarios of possible consequences of significant strategic moves involves modelling the industry or strategic group through a mix of techniques that do not necessarily synergise to form a consistent basis for modelling. This thesis develops a general-systems-based method for industry-level strategic and policy analysis. The theoretical framework adopted is primarily from general systems theory and strategic policy analysis, with some reference to system dynamics, and industry and technology policy. The aim of the approach is to allow a comprehensive qualitative model of the industry or strategic group to be developed based on representing three subsystems: the social subsystem, the information subsystem, and the technical subsystem. The theory developed is then applied to the textile industry through detailed comparisons of the industry in four different countries to test and refine the method. The perspective provided is primarily for an Australian business policy audience. The conclusions of this study highlight how the method succeeds in providing an improved approach to strategic industry analysis by identifying a comprehensive set of significant factors all of which any one present method would not have recognised.

Full textAbstract:
Climate variability and climate change have become important research topics also in economics. The objective of this thesis is not to forecast the future but to learn from the past by studying how two important climate change-related topics have affected Indonesian households. Delayed monsoon onset, El Niño, will become more frequent with climate change whereas palm oil production is a contributor to climate change. The first essay examines how variability in monsoon onset affects rural households' welfare in terms of household expenditure and farm profits. Using the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) data I find that households in the middle tercile of the expenditure distribution face the biggest albeit temporary losses from delayed monsoon onset. Half of the expenditure decline is due to increase in household size. Conditional on onset, rainfall intensity has only minor effects. The second essay uses the IFLS data to study how schooling and child labour are affected by delayed monsoon onset. The probability of continuing from primary to secondary school is reduced when a delayed onset coincides with the transition year. In other respects, monsoon onset does not affect education of rural children. However, riskier distribution of rain postpones school entry for young children. Moreover, delayed onset increases child labour. Using district-level data on palm oil production and area planted and national household survey (SUSENAS) the third essay studies the impact of oil palm expansion on household expenditure and health. Instrumental variable estimates exploit the historical production and district forest area as an exogenous source of variation. I find that smallholder production has a weak negative impact on household expenditure but this effect is not present among rural households. More, total production increases incidence of asthma in Kalimantan. The findings suggest that palm oil is not a panacea to increase rural welfare.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis focuses on local economic development in developing countries and, on the basis of research conducted in Indonesia, it examines how local governments balance ‘public entrepreneurialism’ with ‘democratic values’. Through four case studies, the thesis explores how the values of innovation and development are matched by concern for democratic accountability and respect for local cultures and traditions. The case-studies provide complementary and contrasting perspectives on local leadership and its impacts on local economic development, focusing respectively on development of the informal economy, exploitation of the potential of technology and the creative industries, modernisation of agriculture, and the securing of increased foreign investment. The key finding from these case-studies is that effective leadership in local economic development does indeed call for the spirit of entrepreneurialism and innovation to be balanced by sensitivity towards local democratic values and principles. However, rather than it being necessary for the formal head of the local government personally to provide the required leadership in both respects, it may equally be feasible for two (or more) different individuals within the hierarchy of the organisation and with respective strengths in entrepreneurialism and democratic values to work together to ensure that the desired balance is indeed achieved.

La lutte contre les rongeurs est souvent un enjeu majeur dans les agroécosystèmes. Nous avons conduit une étude comparative dans des plantations de palmiers à huile dans les provinces de Riau et de Bangka en Indonésie. Dans les deux zones, des chouettes ont été introduites pour la lutte contre les rats ; toutefois, à Riau les rats sont maintenus à des niveaux de population acceptables sans recours au raticide, tandis qu’à Bangka les dégâts des rats sont très importants et l’usage de raticide intensif. Nous avons comparé ce deux systèmes en terme d’abondance et/ou de régime alimentaire de deux prédateurs, chouettes et petits carnivores. D’après nos résultats, les petits carnivores sont beaucoup plus abondants dans les plantations à Riau qu’à Bangka, et le chat léopard (Prionailurus bengalensis) est absent à Bangka tandis que cette espèce domine à Riau. Nos résultats suggèrent également que la prédation sur les rats par les chouettes et les petits carnivores serait moindre à Bangka qu’à Riau. D’une manière générale, cette étude confirme l’hypothèse selon laquelle les petits carnivores, notamment les chats léopard, joueraient un rôle important dans la lutte contre les rats en palmeraies. Par ailleurs, nous avons analysé la distribution spatiale des petits carnivores en plantation. Nos résultats suggèrent que, bien que l’habitat palmeraie soit largement utilisé la nuit par certains petits carnivores comme le chat leopard, qui y trouve une abondante ressource alimentaire, la plupart des espèces sont dépendantes de la forêt. Les gestionnaires des palmeraies devraient adapter leurs pratiques, afin de favoriser les petits carnivores dans une perspective de lutte contre les ratsRodent pest control is often a major issue in agroecosystems. We conducted a 3-year comparative study (2010-2012) in oil palm plantations in Riau and Bangka provinces, in Indonesia: in both areas barn owls have been introduced for rat control, and were at least as abundant in Bangka plantations than in Riau, but in Riau rat populations have been maintained at an acceptable level without the use of rodenticide, whereas in Bangka intensive rodenticide applications did not prevent high levels of rat damage. We compared these two contrasting systems in terms of predator community (barn owls and small carnivores) abundance and/or diet. We found that small carnivores were much more abundant in Riau plantations than in Bangka, and that the leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) was the dominant species in Riau while absent from Bangka. Our results on diet suggested that rat prey intake from barn owls and from the small carnivore community would be less in Bangka plantations than in Riau. Broadly, our results suggest that small carnivores, notably the leopard cat, play an important role in rodent control. In addition, we investigated spatial distribution of small carnivores within the oil palm habitat. Our results support the hypothesis that, although the oil palm may be habitable for some small carnivore species such as the leopard cat, where they supposedly forage at night, most species still need forest for their survival in oil palm landscapes. Oil palm plantations managers should adapt agricultural practices and land-use to enhance small carnivores, with the view to improve rodent control

Le bilan de l action de l etat indonesien a travers son intervention dans vie economique pour realiser les objectifs definis par les plans quinquennaux est globalement positif. Les indicateurs macro-economiques, des rapports sociaux meme jusqu a l evolution de la part d industries manufactirieres sont impressionants, bien que le probleme de l inegalite socio-economique soit toujours preoccupant. De plus, la tendance de la concentration et de la domination economique par certains groupes sociaux est de plus en plus solide apres l ere de dereglementation, sans une solution geniale, en outre, on se pose egalement le probleme de la sous-utilisation de main d oeuvre et de sous-emploi dans la quasi-totalite des secteurs economique. Quoique l etat omnipresent soit toujours en continu malgre un processus de dereglementation dans une derniere decennie. Grace a cette dereglementations, le secteur prive augmente sa contribution dans le developpement economique et l efficacite s est amelioree. Neanmoins, des signes de l existence de l"etat mou" (myrdal) n ont pas totalement disparus, car par exemple le probleme de la corruption est loin d etre resolu. De toute facon, le gouvernement de l ordre nouveau de soeharto, le plus long dans l histoire du pays , a maintenu la stabilite politique et economique avec certes une repression politique. Mais depuis les dernieres annees, on constate des indicateurs d un processus de democratisationThe balance sheet of the action of the indonesian state through its intervention in the economy is globally positive. The macro-economic and the social indicators until the growth of the manufacturing industries are impressive, where as the socio-economic inequality is still a very important problem. In addition, the tendency of concentration of capital and the domination of economic activities by certain social groups is more and more strong, particularly after the "era of the deregulation", with out brillinant solution. Moreover, there arises the problem of the underutilization of labour force in almost all economic sectors. Despite a process of deregulation in the last decade, the omnipresence of the state has been important. With this deregulation, the private sector incresed its contribution in the economic development and its efficiency has increased. Neverthless, some indicators of the existence of the "soft state" (myrdal) have not yet disappeared, for example the problem of corruption is far from being resolved. Any way, the government of the new oreder - the longest in the history of the country - maintained the political and economic stability with indeed a political repression. But since the last few years, we can see some indicators of the process of democratization

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the interrelationship between market structures, firm rivalry, and
government intervention in the Indonesian manufacturing sector over the period 1975
to 1995. Two empirical methodologies are used in this study. First, the Structure.
Conduct - Performance (S-C-P) approach to industrial organisation provides the basic
framework for our analysis in the first part of the study. The second research
methodology is indus•ry case studies. Two industry studies presented in this study are
cigarettes and cement.
The study begins with an overview of the evolution of Indonesian trade and industrial
policies and the salient features of the manufacturing sector. An analysis of the trends
in seller concentration over the period 1975 to 1993 is also provided. The descriptive
analysis on seller concentration shows that there is a long-term declining trend in
industrial concentration, particularly in those industries that were highly concentrated
in the mid-1970s. This provides the backdrop into subsequent statistical analysis of
the interrelationship between concentration and other aspects of structure and
performance. For this purpose, we specify and estimate a simultaneous equations
model of industry structure, conduct and performance. The interrelationships among
six key variables (concentration, profitability, foreign ownership, export intensity,
import penetration and trade policy) are estimated for two different policy periods; (1)
pre-1986 period of heavy trade and industry policy intervention, and (2) post-1986
period of trade and industry liberalisation.
A number of interesting findings emerged from the analysis. Trade protection,
interacted with seller concentration, was a major determinant of high profitability in
concentrated industries in the pre-liberalisation period. This relationship significantly
weakened as a result of the late 1980s trade liberalisation. High concentration had a
positive influence on effective trade protection, providing some support for the
interest group model, which asserts that highly concentrated industries find it easier to
lobby government for protection. However, the level of concentration had no significant influence on export intensity or import penetration over and above the
other variables considered in the analysis. Finally, our results suggest that market
structure factors (economies of scale, capital costs, product differentiation, market
size and regional market segmentation) are the major determinants of industrial
concentration in Indonesian manufacturing. We could not find a direct relationship
between trade policy, regulation and concentration. These insignificant results
probably arise due to limitations inherent in cross-sectional tests of the effect of trade
policy and regulation on market structure. We tested the effect of international
influences (export intensity, import penetration and foreign ownership) on
concentration. However, the results turned out to be statistically insignificant in both
the pre - and post-liberalisation periods. The study extends the analysis to include the
determinants of changes in leading firms' market shares. Changes in market shares
are a good indicator of firm rivalry. The results show that regulations in several
industries are associated with stable market shares, suggesting that they have reduced
competition in these industries.
The second part of thesis presents two industry case studies. The focus of the case
studies is on the nature of competition among firms, and the influence of regulation
on this process. In cement, until the industry was deregulated in 1998, government
regulations - distribution and price controls - had created a market structure that
closely resembled a cartel. The second case study is cigarettes. This study estimates
the effect of advertising expenditure on seven leading firms' market shares, using
monthly advertising and market share data. Our results show that advertising
competition reallocates sales between leading firms. An important finding of our
study is that an equal percentage increase in advertising by all firms will change the
distribution of market shares in favour of the more successful, larger firms in the
long-run. This arises because larger firms have an 'image advantage' over the smaller
firms. This image advantage is an asymmetry that constitutes a barrier to upward
mobility of smaller, less-favoured existing firms.

Full textAbstract:
The financial cns1s in 1997 that severely hit Indonesian manufacturing made thousands of factory workers redundant. As the impact of the crisis eases several years later, the sector has started to recover and urban manufacturing is now attracting young migrants from rural Indonesia. The recent flow of migrants to the city marks the rise of a new generation of urban factory workers who arrive in the metropolis with distinctive aspirations compared to their pre-crisis predecessors who were associated with labour activism in the early and mid-1990s. This thesis is an ethnographic account of migrant industrial workers in Tangerang, west Java and their relation to the processes of globalisation and modernisation. It focuses on the increasing integration of rural subjects into modem discourses through the embrace of practices regarded as conferring on them a modem identity. The formation of identity amongst these subjects is inseparable from their efforts to be modem subjects, represented by their aspirations for progress and advancement. The personalities introduced in this thesis demonstrate a variety of expression of what it means to be modem beings; to be urban people; to be differentiated from the 'un modem' rural existence; and to be in conformity with the imagined state of modernity. The shift to the city is not experienced by these new arrivals as a disjuncture because their childhood experience in the countryside has already been shaped by diverse cultural flows, making modernisation and global discourse familiar in rural society. Indeed, these childhood encounters with the modem have created a phantasmagoric image of modernity which they seek to embrace through migration to the city. Nonetheless, in their new metropolitan setting, the contemporary migrants remain subject to the harsh regime of capitalist production as well as urban marginalisation that menace their attempt to realise their 'imagined community' of modernity. Therefore, their urban practices are affected by their efforts to produce a new meaning to and realigning of their pre-existing perceived 'modernity' with the actuality of the industrial town. This thesis, based on nearly one year's fieldwork between 2000-2001 in an urban neighbourhood in Tangerang, focuses on how the rural youth-turned urban migrant workers understand their place in the process of modernisation and material development, which has become the holy grail of the contemporary Indonesian state.

This study identifies the Indonesian policies that established large scale, export oriented and externally controlled (LEE)industrialization from the perspective of local people in the industrializing area, the planning that implemented these policies in Central Java and the ways in which the local people's lives are being affected. It identifies the links between the policy and the planning, and between the planning and the impacts. This study is based on data gathered from provincial, municipal and local planners, affected people, factory owners, and workers. LEE industrial development has often been successful in terms of its contribution to Regional Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and to the creation of low wage employment opportunities. However, this success has been accompanied by significant economic, social and environmental impacts on local people. The economic impacts include loss of livelihood and jobs, and decrease of family income. The social impacts comprise the weakening of community cohesion and the disruption of the people's daily lives. The environmental impacts include floods, lack of clean water, water pollution, and air pollution. The impacts of LEE industrialization have been documented by various studies including this one. What has not been adequately analyzed and documented is the process that produces the impacts. This study helps to fill the gap. It concludes that the impacts stem from the following factors. The national development emphasizes large scale and export oriented industrialization. The top-down development planning ensures that this policy is supported at the provincial level regardless of local conditions, needs and priorities. The arbitrary nature of provincial decision-making provides for no popular input. Impact assessment studies fail to provide the information necessary for planners, decision-makers and ideally the local leaders about the likely impacts of industrialization. The way the responsible government agencies solve environmental problems tends to protect factory interests. The impacts are exacerbated by a lack of adequate monitoring and enforcement of environmental regulations. The thesis concludes that substantive policy reform and process restructuring are required to achieve sound planning for industrial development. If quality of life is to be protected and enhanced, industrial policies should be reoriented to strengthening existing local economic activities; and planning restructured to enable local planners and affected people to be fully involved at all stages including impact management.

Indonesia is one of Southeast Asian countries with an enormous amount of population and islands. It is also a developing country with various natural resources in their islands. One of the resources that many industries need for their business is industrial gas, e.g., Oxygen, Nitrogen, Acetylene, etc. This fact means that there is an opportunity for the industrial gas industry to expand business in Indonesia. Nowadays, the growth of the internet and e-commerce have changed the way how a business delivers value to the customer, especially to a distributor company. Additionally, manufacturers and retailers are investing in their distribution networks and supplying products directly to the customers. As a result, distributors are struggling to survive in the market and sustain profitability. In order to survive in the market, distributors have to change their ways of doing business in this global era due to the use of internet in all of its business aspects. An industrial gas company will be used for case study in this thesis to create an innovative business model to survive in the market. The company can implement Internet of Things in their new strategy for their new business model to differ itself from its competitors, especially in Indonesia.
