Case study of a private sector firm in Indonesia

Abstract

Key issues, challenges, concerns, and prospects arising from a case study of the Astra Manufacturing Polytechnic in Jakarta, Indonesia, are presented, analysed, and discussed. A descriptive portrait is provided of the case study firm. Steps in the accreditation process are explained and discussed, as are partnership arrangements between Astra Manufacturing Polytechnic and government, including on-and off-the-job training activities, and the Meister programme for existing workers. Key lessons learnt from this case study are presented to provide a role model for the effective greening of business forms in Indonesia and as a guide for business firms throughout the region.
