With respect to Thailand and Malaysia, Indonesia was first in Southeast Asia to develop a automotive industry, supported by the domestic market. But Indonesia did not become the “Detroit of Asia” as Thailand, or establish national brands as Malaysia.On the contrary, Indonesia is a “huge market without technology,” an “Industry Without Industrialization.”This paper adopts an institutionalist approach with three aspects –state intervention, government-business relations, and transnational industrial division – to explain why Indonesia's automotive industry has been limited by the structure of political economy. We find that (1) in the industrial development period, state intervention policies did not “learn from” and “manage” the market, (2) local capitals did not establish a supply chain industry or government-business relations, thus lacking motivation for partnership in industrial transformation, and ( 3 ) a lack of foreign technology transfer deterred the industry's progress. Despite having a large support market, Indonesia's automotive industry has not attained a desired level of development. In conclusion, this paper discovers that the key to developing an automobile industry in Indonesia is “Institutional Transformation.” Industrial policies must benefit all parties, and if coupled with growths of local enterprises and learning, Indonesian automobile industry may finally utilize its advantages for industrial upgrading. |
