The Development of Business Clusters in Indonesia
The Cases of Cibaduyut and Plered, West Java
von Aknolt Kristian PakpahanThis book outlines the ambivalence of Indonesian economic policies and reveals problems faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the footwear and ceramic industries in Cibaduyut and Plered, West-Java. Indonesian SMEs are being encouraged to become more innovative, productive, and competitive. However, a lack of coordination among the national, regional, and sub-regional authorities and cultural issues undermine the ambitious business cluster initiatives. This highlights the necessity to consider the Indonesian decentralization process as well as Javanese and Sundanese customs in day-to-day economic activity.
