Retailing in Indonesia : Transnational Retailers and Employment Relations

In recent decades retailing has emerged as one of the driving forces of economic globalisation.

At the same time there is growing interest in international labour standards and their implementation.

This book, based on extensive original research, compares the employment relations practices of different kinds of companies in Indonesia, contrasting the practices of wholly and partially internationally owned retailers with those of local companies.

The book's important conclusion is that local circumstances and local institutions are key to shaping employment relations, rather than the strategies of multinational corporations.

The book will be of great interest to all those studying international retailing, international labour relations and the important Indonesian economy.
