"This paper presents a critical analysis of the factors shaping the interaction between multinationals and trade unions in indonesia, focusing on recent period of democratization following the downfall of the Suharto regime. It has been suggested that union growth risks undermining Indonesia's competitive advantages (cheap labour) and could encourage the exit of multinationals to cheaper competitors. In order to rest this proposition, two case studies were conducted: one in automotive industry and the other in the banking industry. The paper first provides an overview of multinational activity and FDI in Indonesia, and their interaction with a nascent union movement. This is followed by presenting he findings of interviews conducted at the multinational enterprises with managers and union officials; to provide empirical insights into the bargaining process. The final part of the paper provides a preliminary assessment of the impact of union behaviour on MNC profitability and competitiveness in indonesia. In contrast to traditional views of unions as impeding MNC profitability and "encouraging" exit, the paper finds that unions and MNCs can engage in constructive partnerships, but that pressures and contradictions in the relationship remain."

"Abad kedua puluh satu memperkenalkan kita pada revolusi industri ke-4, di mana kemajuan teknologi semakin kuat dengan munculnya berbagai inovasi yang memajukan peradaban. Namun, literatur sebelumnya telah mengusulkan bahwa perubahan teknologi mungkin tidak "baik" seperti yang terlihat. Menelaah pengaruh otomasi Jepang terhadap ekspor dan penyerapan tenaga kerja Indonesia, penulis mencoba melihat apakah otomasi asing berpotensi merugikan negara berkembang. Dengan menggunakan data panel berimbang yang diperoleh dari tiga sumber berbeda (International Federation of Robots (IFR), Statistik Industri (SI), dan WIOD), studi ini mengamati dampak otomasi robot terhadap ekspor manufaktur dan lapangan kerja di Indonesia dalam 15 industri manufaktur terpilih dan dalam kurun waktu 5 tahun (2010-2014). Dengan menggunakan model 2-stage least squared (2SLS), penulis menemukan bahwa otomatisasi asing mengurangi ekspor manufaktur Indonesia. Namun, penulis juga menemukan bahwa penurunan ekspor dapat diimbangi dengan produktivitas yang disebabkan oleh otomatisasi domestik. net otomatisasi adalah positif, namun  juga harus dicatat bahwa otomatisasi domestik tumbuh pada tingkat adopsi yang lebih lamba dibandingkan dengan otomatisasi asing, meninggalkan bobot yang tidak seimbang dari dampak otomatisasi. Selain itu, dampak serupa juga dapat ditemukan dalam pekerjaan. Kami menemukan bahwa otomatisasi asing mengurangi pekerjaan baik pekerja produksi maupun non-produksi. Namun, tidak seperti dalam kasus ekspor, otomatisasi domestik ternyata juga berdampak negatif terhadap lapangan kerja. Pengurangan ini disebabkan oleh dua hal, khususnya kesenjangan keterampilan dan kesenjangan upah antara pekerja produksi dan non-produksi.

The twenty-first century introduces us to the 4th industrial revolution, in which the advancement of technology is going strong with the arrival of numerous innovations that not only further our civilization in terms of knowledge but also allow us to improve our lives by making more difficult tasks easier. However, previous literature has proposed that technological change may not be as “good” as it seems. Examining the effect of Japan’s automation on Indonesia’s exports and employment, the author tries to see whether foreign automation potentially harms developing countries. Employing a balanced panel data obtained from three different sources ( International Federation of Robots (IFR), Statistik Industri (SI), and WIOD), this study observes the impacts of robotic automation on Indonesia’s manufacturing exports and employment within 15 selected manufacturing industries and in the span of 5 years (2010-2014). 

 Using the 2-stage least squared (2SLS) model, the author found that foreign automation reduces Indonesia’s manufacturing exports. However, the author also found that the reduction in exports can be offset by the productivity induced by domestic automation. While the net effect of automation is positive, We also have to note that domestic automation grows at a slower adoption rate leaving an unbalanced weight of the impacts of automation. Furthermore, a similar impact can also be found in employment. We found that foreign automation reduces the employment of both the production and non-production workers. However, unlike in the case of exports, domestic automation is found to also negatively impact employment. This reduction is caused by two things, in particular, the skill gap and the wage gap between the production and non-production workers. "

"The international recruitment and the employment of expatriates in host country and inpatriates in home country or outside the host country is one of the consequences of the open market policy of many countries. Buhler indicates that the international recruitment is perceived more because of the risk of an organization to compete globally that requires managers and leaders who have international experiences (Buhler 2002:100).With more countries opening themselves for foreign direct investment (FDI) there are more potential of employment of expatriates and inpatriates to provide among others the transfer of skills and technology (http:/lwww.unctad_org/templateslstartpage.asQ?intltem 17.00 hours, 26 June 2005). The transfer of skills and technology is very much a true important for an overseas oil and gas operation especially if the host country has no research and development facilities and thus is very much depending on the home country capabilities.Although Indonesia opens its door for foreign investors however the government has put some limitation to the employment of expatriates as part of their policies in safe guarding the employment of the local people. Foreign investors on the other hands, have three 3 major motives of employment of expatriates i.e. Staffing, due to skill and knowledge deficiencies, Management Development and Organizational Development (Harzing and Ruysseveldt 1995: 181-182).The purpose of this study is to analyze what factors, actors, objectives and alternative strategies of employment of expatriates and inpatriates at CNOOC (China National Offshore Oil Corporation) SES Ltd. CNOOC SES Ltd is one of the CNOOC Ltd subsidiaries operating an oil and gas concession in Indonesia. The employment of expatriates and inpatriates consist of employment of personnel from Parent/Home Country (PCN), Third Country National (TCN) and Host Country National (HCN). For the purpose of the study, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used as the tool to analyze experts? judgments. The experts were chose from the Head Quarter in Beijing (2 experts), 3 experts from CNOOC SES Ltd, indonesia and 3 experts from the Government of Indonesia, in this case from BPMIGAS.One of the results from the study shows that staffing is the major objective in having expatriates working at the host country, with cost eftlciency as the prime factor for the employment of those expatriates while the Government of Indonesia, in this case BPMIGAS is the major actor in the decision making. lt is also noted that the Host Country National (HCN) would be the prime alternative of the employment of expatriates, if their competency matches with the competency possesses by the expatriate. The study also shows that the selection of inpatriates (personnel from host country working at head quarter or other countries than his/her own country) would be from personnel who are being employed by the company at the time of selection and is based on his/her competency while CNOOC SES Ltd as the primary decision maker with the objective to enhance the host country national competency (management development)."

"Tesis ini menganalisis dinamika sikap negara-negara Nordik dalam menanggapi dominasi Tiongkok pada proyek Koridor Arktika, yakni proyek pembangunan infrastruktur transportasi di kawasan Nordik. Peneliti menggunakan tiga pendekatan dalam menyusun penelitian ini, yakni analisis PESTEL, Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) dan pendekatan motif penanaman investasi asing. Analisis PESTEL dan RSCT dipakai untuk melihat secara komprehensif faktor politik, ekonomi, sosial, teknologi, lingkungan, hukum serta keamanan dalam kerangka kerjasama antara negara-negara Nordik dan Tiongkok pada proyek Koridor Arktika. Secara spesifik RSCT juga digunakan untuk meninjau indikator letak geografis, kesamaan sistem serta interaksi antar-negara untuk meninjau kerjasama keamanan antar-negara Nordik di kawasan mereka khususnya dalam menanggapi peningkatan power Tiongkok di kawasan Nordik dan Arktika. Sementara pendekatan motif penanaman investasi asing difokuskan pada tiga aspek, yakni market seeking, resource seeking dan efficiency seeking untuk meninjau motif utama Tiongkok menanamkan FDI-nya di negara-negara Nordik terkait proyek Koridor Arktika. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif yakni dengan tinjauan pustaka sebagai teknik pengumpulan data serta teknik analisis diskursus untuk mengklasifikan setiap temuan. Peneliti menemukan temuan bahwa secara umum Finlandia, Swedia, Denmark, Norwegia dan Islandia menganggap Tiongkok sebagai ancaman di kawasan Arktika. Dalam hal ini mereka dihadapkan pada dilema yakni bahwa di satu sisi mereka membuka diri terhadap investasi Tiongkok yang ditanamkan pada proyek tersebut dengan motif utama resource seeking, namun di sisi lain mereka tidak menginginkan Tiongkok mendominasi kawasan Arktika yang mana secara geografis lebih dekat dengan negara-negara Nordik.

This thesis analyzes the dynamics of the Nordic countries’ demeanor in responding to China’s dominance in the Arctic Corridor project, the transportation infrastructure development project in the Nordic region. The researcher used three approaches on doing this research, those are PESTEL analysis, Regional Security Complex Theory, and the approach of foreign investment motives. In this case, RSCT and PESTEL analysis are used to elaborate the political, economic, social, technological, environmental, legal, and security factors in the framework of cooperation between Nordic countries and China within the Arctic Corridor project. Specifically, RSCT is also used to observe geographical location, system similarities, and interaction between Nordic countries indicators in response to China’s rising power, especially in the Nordic and Arctic regions. Meanwhile, the approach of foreign investment motives is focused on three aspects, those are market seeking, resource seeking, and efficiency seeking to observe China’s primary motive for investing its foreign direct investment in Nordic countries related to the Arctic Corridor project. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature review to classify each finding as a data collection technique. The researcher found that Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Iceland consider China a threat in the Arctic region. In this case, the Nordic countries are faced with a dilemma, that on one side, they open up themselves to the Chinese investment that is invested in the Arctic Corridor project. However, on the other hand, they do not want China to dominate the geopolitics and geo-economy of the Arctic which is geographically closer to the Nordic countries.
