{"product_id":"9789814515344","title":"Business in Indonesia: New Challenges, Old Problems","description":"This book examines Indonesia's business environment since reformasi began in 1985 -- what stayed the same, what changed, and would could change. Economic recovery has been hesitant. Regime change and political reform have created uncertainties that have deepened reluctance to invest. A raft of government-instigated changes have left their imprint: decentralization, privatization, new company legislation, anti-corruption efforts, nationalization of debt-ridden banks, and firms being forced into receivership. More cautious lending practices by remaining financial institutions have imposed a credit crunch. Increased worker militancy and minimum wage rises have led some international firms to reconsider their presence in Indonesia. Changes in the business environment have caused a redefinition of private enterprise-government relations, inducing firms to re-examine their organization and management.   The book includes insights of distinguished and stimulating speakers from business, independent research organizations, and academic institutions in Indonesia, Australia and elsewhere.","brand":"Institute of Southeast Asian Studies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47185294622960,"sku":"9789814515344","price":19.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789814515344_p0.jpg?v=1763691137","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789814515344","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
