The Significance of Power and Politics in Some Indonesian Organizations

Abstract

In July 1997, after three decades of a 6% annual GDP growth, Indonesia was thrown into a prolonged monetary crisis. It watched its rupiah fall against the US dollar and businesses awakened to the fact that a fundamental eco­nomic transformation is required in which transparency is the order of the day and corruption, collusion and nepo­tism should no longer have a hold. These, combined with the rapidly changing technologies required them to be more competitive.
