...Cierra Miller 9-16-2014 MGT-446 Australia and New Zealand: Doing Business with Indonesia 1. Using this case and the cultural dimensions explored in this chapter, discuss some of the ways in which citizens of Australia and New Zealand are members of cultures very different from any other in Asia. There are many differences between New Zealand and Australia, and Asia. Even though New Zealand and Australia are neighbors to Asia they hold very different cultural values. For example, in the Indonesian culture, it’s important to build and maintain long-term relationships to be successful and to produce a profit. In contrast, New Zealand and Australia rely on shared expectation such as how first contacts are made, how deals are closed, and how time should be managed. Another major difference is how business situations are handled. For example, mid-level Indonesian managers may attempt to resolve an issue on their own instead of being the “bearer of bad news” to the boss because they feel that bringing bad news implicates the bearer. In contrast, a Western boss would want their employees to tell them any bad news that they should be informed of because issues that are left unresolved could lead to inefficiency and lose of profits. 2. In what respects is the Indonesian archipelago unique in Asia? Indonesia’s archipelago is unique to Asia in terms of extent and diversity. It has 17,000 islands which span around 3,200 miles eastward from Sabang in northern Sumatra to Merauke in...

...1. Population of Indonesia With a population totaling around 250 million individuals, Indonesia is the fourth largest country with regard to population size. Its ethnic composition is characterized by a wide variety as the country contains hundreds of different ethnic groups and cultures. However, more than half of the population can be classified as belonging to the two main ethnic groups: Javanese (41 percent of the total population) and Sundanese (15 percent of the total population). Both these groups originate from the island of Java, Indonesia's most populous island, which contains almost sixty percent of the country's total population.

...MIXED ECONOMIC SYSTEM: INDONESIA Indonesian Economy Overview The largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia – a diverse archipelago nation of more than 300 ethnic groups -- has charted impressive economic growth since overcoming the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s. The country’s gross national income per capita has steadily risen, from $560 in the year 2000 to $3,630 in 2014. Today, Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous nation, the world’s 10th largest economy in terms of purchasing power parity, and a member of the G-20. It has made enormous gains in poverty reduction, cutting the poverty rate to more than half since 1999, to 11.2% in 2015. Indonesia’s economic planning follows a 20-year development plan, spanning from 2005 to 2025. It is segmented into 5-year medium-term plans, called the RPJMN, each with different development priorities. The current medium-term development plan – the third phase of the long-term plan -- runs from 2015 to 2020, focusing, among others, on infrastructure development and improving social assistance programs in education and healthcare. Such shifts in public spending has been enabled by a reform of long-standing energy subsidies, allowing for more investments in programs that directly impact the poor and near-poor, as well as vast improvements in infrastructure investment. Considerable challenges remain in achieving Indonesia’s goals. Due to weaker demand for commodities – the fuel for Indonesia’s economic boom in the...

...Example of Financial Illusion Introduction The emergence of an increasing number of ‘financial illusions’ in the current state of financial markets around the world casts doubts over the famous and widely accepted efficient market hypothesis. The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) indicates that, at any time, prices fully and instantaneously reflect all available relevant information on a particular stock or market (Fama, 1970). EMH also suggests that it is impossible to “beat the market” because stock market efficiency causes existing share prices to always incorporate and reflect all relevant information. Thus, according to the EMH, it is impossible for investors to either purchase undervalued stocks or sell stocks for inflated prices because stocks are always traded at their fair value on stock exchanges. Another reason is because no one has access to information that is not already available to everyone else. One important characteristic of the EMH is its assumption that agents are rational. Rational agents is agents which has a clear preferences, models uncertainty via expected values, and always chooses to perform the action that results in the optimal outcome from all the feasible actions. Their actions depend on their preferences, their information of the current situation; which may come from past experiences, the actions, duties and obligations available and the estimated or actual benefits that the agents can get after the actions.

Coffee in Indonesia began with its colonial history, and has played an important part in the growth of the country. Indonesia is located within an ideal geography for coffee plantations.
