 Tip 1 Indonesian business characteristics are based
firmly on the classic, Asian values of respect for
hierarchy and people wishing to introduce a more
matrix-oriented approach may find themselves
struggling against the weight of history and culture
 Tip 2Always try to show respect for the hierarchy of the
organisation you are dealing with, as well as the senior
managers of that organisation. Try not to have middle-ranking
employees from your company interfacing with the top-level
managers from the Indonesian organisation.

 Tip 3 Nepotism and cronyism are a fact of business
life and it is essential to have the right contacts in the
right places. It may be necessary to have locals make
the initial introductions - and these introductions can
prove expensive.
 Tip 4 A combination of extreme dependency on
hierarchy and nepotism has resulted in the
development of extremely cumbersome bureaucracies.
When dealing with these bureaucracies, patience is
needed.

 Tip 5The manager is expected to take on the role of
father with all the emotional and in-depth concern for
subordinates that such a relationship entails. Respect
for the manager comes from such bonding rather than
from more task-oriented issues such as technical
expertise.
 Tip 6 Subordinates will give loyalty and dependability
to those managers who are seen as worthy of respect.

 Tip 7 Decision-making is either directional
(coming from the boss) or, in peer to peer
situations, is arrived at through lengthy
consensus seeking discussions. The latter
decision-making process can eat up a great deal
of time but little can be done to speed up the
process.

 Tip 8 Meetings are usually formal occasions
with formal body language and communication
patterns used to try to create a sense of
harmony and ease amongst the delegates.

 Tip 9Business cards are important and should
be given out in a formal manner at the
beginning of a meeting. Cards should contain
as much information about you as possible.
 Tip 10Time seems to be less of an issue in
Indonesia than in many other countries and it
is not unusual for meetings to start late or
finish late. (You could be kept waiting for up to
an hour!)

in Indonesia, you need be aware of the strict
protocols and rituals that exist.
When managing in Indonesia, it is important
to keep in mind that each person has a very
distinct role within the organization, and
maintaining that role helps to keep order.

 The Role of a Manager
 managers may take a somewhat paternalistic
attitude to their employees. They may demonstrate
a concern for employees that goes beyond the
workplace. This may include involvement in their
family, housing, health, and other practical life
issues.

 Approach to Change
 Indonesia’s intercultural adaptability and readiness
for change is developing all the time.
 Indonesia is seen to have a medium tolerance for
change and risk.
 It is important for innovations to have a track
record or history noting the benefits if they are to
be accepted and implemented.

 The culture in Indonesia is very relationship and group-
oriented
 a strong emphasis is placed on maintaining harmony
and proper lines of authority in the workplace.
 The manager makes decisions and accepts responsibility
for work performed by subordinates. The middle
manager may consult with subordinates before reaching
a decision, although it is more likely that he will confer
with trusted advisors or relatives.

gentle manner, protecting the reputation of those
bringing up ideas, so no one is shamed.
 Communication and Negotiation Styles
 Cross cultural management will be more effective if
you understand the importance of personal
relationships.

 Communication and Negotiation Styles
 They are crucial to conducting business and are
based on respect and trust.
 It takes time to develop a comfortable working
relationship and you will need patience and
perseverance.

 Communication and Negotiation Styles
 Indonesians are non-confrontational. It is rare for
them to overtly disagree,
 although this is beginning to change in the
managerial ranks. Decisions are reached by the
person with the most authority but reaching that
decision can be a slow process.
