Background:
Indonesia
became dominated by the Dutch in the 17th Century and this
dominance
continued more or less intact for the next 2 centuries. The Japanese invaded during the Second World War.
Indonesia achieved independence shortly after liberation. The
country was then controlled by
various authoritative regimes until parliamentary elections were held in 1999.
Indonesia is considered to have a bright
economic future and is part of the so-called N-11 (Next Eleven) high growth
emerging countries. It is also the world’s largest Muslim country and the
third largest democracy.
Appraisal
of Management Talent
Available
Types:
Indonesia
has an adequate supply of capable middle and country
management talent. Given
that Indonesia does not yet have a large number of regional
head-quarters of multinational companies, the country does not
have a significant number of international management people.
It
is difficult for non-Indonesians to live in the country
so there are a small number of localized expatriate managers
available. Given the small supply, the income level of such
people are generally higher than local managers.
Education
Standards:
Indonesia
has a small supply of managers with international schooling.
Candidate
Experience:
Local
managers in Indonesia are thought to be able to perform at
international levels. Multinational experience (rather than
local company experience) is considered necessary for managers to
have been developed to perform at
international levels.
Career
Stability:
Indonesians
are warm and social people capable of forming strong relationships with
international people and, therefore, they exhibit above average career stability. In most industries,
it is possible to hire senior people with a history of long-term
employment relationships. If managed effectively and
sensitively, they can be counted upon to be loyal to their
managers.
Language
Skills:
Many
of the younger generation of educated elite in Indonesia speak
acceptable English. Outside of this small group, international
communication skills are difficult to
find.
Candidate
Mobility:
Despite
being well regarded, Indonesian
managers have not been considered widely for overseas postings
elsewhere in Asia. One possible reason is that
English communication skills are considered less advanced than
Filipinos, Malaysians and Singaporeans.
Compensation:
Despite
the good quality of Indonesian managers, Indonesia has income levels that are lower than those of so-called
developed countries.
