RESEARCH ASSOCIATE PROGRAM

A research arm of Gentala Institute provides a wider audience towards insightful and effective content.

Audience:

1. Chinese companies interested in investing in Indonesia
2. Chinese companies already investing and operating in Indonesia
3. Indonesian companies seeking knowledge towards Chinese business-related issues
4. Indonesian decision-makers coming from various industry backgrounds

We understand that:

1. There are real issues happening on the field, sometimes previously unpredicted by foreign investors. This is mainly contributed by the comfortable way of lobbying the elites on the top, rather than going down to grassroots. Grassroot communities are part of the companies. Operating companies 24/7 co-existing with local communities, individuals, and the physical environment. Because in local communities, there goes the saying ‘di mana bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung’ when in Rome, do as the Romans.
2. The central government and local government most of the time have differences as our political ideology has circumcisional differences with China.
3. Many of the foreign investors (PMA) especially those coming from China had fewer effective ways of approaching the locals. These matters will bring more troubles and turbulences in the field in the future times.
4. There are fewer opportunities for sharing ideas and updating the most recent methods on solving real issues closely related to companies’ operatives in better manners. Ideas might be appeared towards guided talks and discussions, that Gentala could facilitate just that.
5. Uncertainties in business required companies to make timely decisions based on insightful researches.

Research topics are focusing on:

1. Social and community. The research scope includes but is not limited to:
  - The affluence of the company can be acknowledged by field research. Sound and hospitable companies towards communities will lead to the sustainable presence of the business;
  - Effective CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is a challenging matter when companies are unable to channel their fair share (as regulated) contributed back to communities. Having researched on companies’ image will help clients to reflect on realities on the fields, rather only depending on elites’ favors;
  - Local communities’ acts are based on what the dominant figures said. The research will help clients to identify and open access to communicate with such figures;
  - Social Mapping and Social Impact Assessment are necessary for investing companies to understand better local communities.
2. Market and sales. The research scope includes but is not limited to:
  - Market and sales figures with real situations on the field;
  - Competitor’s insights on the fields.
3. Government and policies. The research scope includes but is not limited to:
  - Central and local government impressions on companies operating in Indonesia;
  - Policies are related to changes in political and economic issues.
