Our national industry worse off. Whereas in 1960, equivalent to our development with South Korea was almost the same. But now South Korea could become very advanced for every 10 years there was a shift of the industrial sector becomes the main contributor to national income.
Now South Korea is no longer playing in the low-tech industrial sectors such as textile or plywood as happened in the past, but they've shifted into high-tech industries such as semiconductors, computers, and automotive, said Zulkieflimansyah, members of the House of Representatives Commission VII of the Fraction MCC to Agus Suaman, Dedi Irawan, and IB Massa Djafar of Figure magazine. In fact, the competitiveness of our economy is now far behind Thailand and Malaysia as both every 10 years also experienced a leap in the development of the industrial sector. Ironically, our alternative to the front there is not much reason Indonesia has to start from the beginning of the world organize the industry as South Korea and Malaysia 40-50 years ago, said winning a Ph.D in Industrialization, Trade and Ecomomic Department of Economic Policy at Strathclyde Business School , University of Strathclyde, UK in 2001 this.
Zul affirmed three basic principles to start developing the national industry. First, the industry developed must be able to absorb labor, due to our problems is unemployment. Second, industry should also be ready to absorb the engineering workforce with low skills. Third, do not require big capital. The following excerpt of an interview with Bang Zul.
What is the significance for the growth industry of our nation?
Sesungghuhnya, the engine of economic growth of a nation lies in increasing the productivity of the industrial sector. It's not often we realize together. True that we have experienced several changes of government, but we never seemed out of whack from the crisis since 1998 due to its industrial sector stagnated and even declined. Policy makers who understand the dynamics of the industry in Indonesia is not a lot. As a result, therapy is often ad hoc issued, does not understand the big picture and do not touch the root of the problem. Buramnya story, if the productivity of the industrial sector as it is now in a period of 10 years into the future, whoever the president will not be possible to restore the Indonesian economy as it was before the crisis. Our economy will remain vulnerable to external shocks and as a result of political instability would often greet us. Anyone president, whatever party be a winner, it will have a tough task in the future.
Thus, management becomes a very strategic industry?
Yeah so, if the analogy with the vehicle, the government was only streering the wheel, controlling its engine of growth is the business sector. Until now we do not have an explicit industrial policy. Efforts in that direction was made by the Minister of Industry, we are now, but still wanted to develop industries that are too broad spectrum. Strong competitiveness of our economy can only be achieved if we increase the productivity of the industrial sector and it is only possible if there are technological innovations that occurred in our idnsustri sector. Well, the incentive to develop technology in this industry sector is not yet visible. Technological learning is often reduced to the extent of R & D, but every industry has different trajectories in developing this technology. So, not only must the R & D. There is reserve engineering leraning by-doing learning by Imitation, and others. So, should we have a comprehensive road map that brings together industry industrial policy, technology policy, and national education policy.
But, is not in the new order we have a concept of industrial countries are outlined in recent Five-Year Development Plan (Pelita)?
Pelita is a good concept and very systematic. Unfortunately it was not a good legacy we preserve. Fallacy concept Repelita new order because they only defines industrialization as an increase in the proportion or industry sector's contribution to the national economy. Whereas industrialization peningktan true proportions and not only contribute, but also the deepening of industrial structure. Well, in Indonesia during the New Order's industrial sector, the proportion continues to increase, but the deepening of our industrial structure has never happened. In other words, industrialization has long touted as this had never happened. We're from the past until now still stuck in traditional industries technogical content is low. There have been no significant shift. Contributors our exports are still dominated by the industry-it's just like tens of years ago. Still dominated by textiles, plywood, the products of agricultural commodities, and other low-value-added.
So, what is the ideal industry developed in Indonesia?
Indonesia does not have much choice. Industries that have developed have a lot to absorb labor and ready to accommodate the power-engineering workforce with low skills. So our options are very limited. Yes ranging from textiles, electronics, plywood, agricultural products, and plantations as well as information technology (IT). IT could soon because we have developed for quick learning and human resources we are relatively prepared. Now, in time we also must move quickly to develop machine tools industry (machine tools) which is the heart of every industrialization in many countries. Without the presence of machine tools industry is not possible we are experiencing industrialization. Machine tools industry is the main priority should we rush and we give special incentives. With a strong machine tool industry gave birth industries derivatives that have incredible technology convergence. This is the root of our problem. We do not have his tools indsutri a machine capable of adequately supporting our industries other. Capital goods we import almost all of us and it is not good for the development of our national indsutri forward. Kertegantungan this vicious circle we must end immediately.
Why idustrialisasi it is important for developing countries?
If we want to advance the industrialization of our economy is a necessity. In economics there is a Marginal Productivity of Labor (MPL). Now, in the agricultural sector MPL was zero and even negative. This means that our workforce can not possibly absorb it all in the agricultural sector because at some point additional manpower in the agricultural sector, it did not produce increased productivity and even otherwise lower productivity. As a result, the surplus labor force that we experience has to be absorbed by the industrial sector. Industry can not be identical to the factories or the puff-puff industry, agricultural products are given a touch of technology that is part of industrialization.
So far what I wanted to developed in our industry?
We too want everything to be developed
So, now we have to do?
There's no shortcuts and quick-fix solution. Minister of Industry must have the courage firmly on his colleagues in the cabinet that the quality of growth must be considered seriously. And quality of growth would not only be propped up on increased consumption, but on increasing productivity in the industrial sector. Build a strong industry should be a grand vision of this government. Strong foundation in industry should be immediately placed for the benefit of this nation in the future.
Unfortunately, the current government and the rule 5 and 10 years later not much has many luxuries to reorganize our industry sector. Our industry today is an industry that has a fundamental structural weakness and weight. Our industrial structure is very shallow (shallow) and no more than just assembling industry and the foot loose industries.
Shallow deepening of the industrial sector as well as our inability to shift the industries of high added value is often attributed to poor investment climate. On the one hand it is true, but the most fundamental is that our inability to master the industrial sector of adequate technology skills. Chants of justice sector reform, combating corruption, improving the investment climate has been too often we hear. But, singing about the importance of technology in the industrial sector barely audible. Very quiet.
Mean?
The Song of the lyrics of technology should not necessarily revolve around the figure of former president BJ Habibie, or unwillingness of the R & D budgets are adequate in government research institutions such as LIPI and BPPT. Too focused, placing great expectations, and rely on government research institutions as key actors of national technological development in the future not only theoretically misguided empirical, but also fatal for the future development of national technology and national economic self-sufficiency in the long term.
The Song of the technology's time we focus on the lyrics to the industrial sector. Strategic industries Habibie inherited a pearl that has been duly given serious attention. Of its best this country is littered not optimal in-lemabaga research institutions of government should be able to be optimized as a resource pool that can be distributed and utilized by the industrial sector. Ministry of Research to the front must not again be a beacon dimmed not functioning, as fortfolio rest did not work. But, he must have a high prestige to influence the various ministries of trade policy, industry, finance, labor, fisheries and maritime affairs, education, and more. This country is big and capable country. Our dream of economic independence will remain an illusion if simple products such as dolls, toys, and other toys sold in the margins very simple way and also we import technology still.
Real agenda forward by Bang Zul?
Government must never again get stuck to the short-term dreams that are misleading. Results and significant changes must be immediately disclosed to the public, but the economic foundation for long-term sustainability needs to difikirkan seriously. Build a solid industrial base which is supported by the accumulation of technological capability is planned and intensive serious homework, and that takes a rather long process. But there are some things that can be done by the government and become the working agenda forward.
First, the government must have the courage to bring each component of the nation that there is no shortcut to solve the multidimensional crisis we face. Way to go too winding, long, and climbing.
Second, governments must continue to maintain improvements and stability of macro-economic environment that has been achieved while continuing to make improvements in infrastructure and serious attention to the world of education that enables terbaiklah seed-growing and blossoming bibit a tough industry in the future.
Third, the government should immediately formulate a strategic vision of Indonesian industry. The desired pattern of industrialization in the future is still dark, so no signals that give little hope to investors. Nothing is firm and clear guidance about future policy indsutri.
Fourth, the government must dare to give priority to certain industries which still exist in times of crisis and at the same time continue to encourage industrial diversification towards more have a better technological capabilities. Industry associations should be encouraged to be empowered in this process.
Fifth, the government must seek to cultivate a support system (support system) which is able to up grade the ability of our technology industries. In the manufacturing sector, for example, we must have a technical institution that can help them to produce more sophisticated products such as chemicals, motor bicycles, and electronic components.
Sixth, the government should seek, if necessary, forcing the big industrialists of Indonesia or multinational corporations to develop supplier and vendor network. The conglomerates should not be allowed to be happy and satisfied with just being a dealer and trader.
Seventh, the government through training and education systems are better planned and focused to be able to produce human resources capable of doing the assimilation of foreign technology to local industry.
Eighth, the government must be able to induce the creation of a formal forum, where government and industry can meet and discuss problems of the nation's competitiveness seriously. The growth of lobbying groups like the Chamber of Commerce and business associations, many political connotations and for short-term kepetingan.
Ninth, the government must speak explicitly about the need for a national innovation system, where intensive collaboration and communication among business, government research institutions and universities can be done.
Tenth, the data base of scientists, experts in government research institutions and their competence should each start was made to then the information could be shared with the business community.
Finally, everything had to die to the government's own political will. There needs to be humility collectively to foster the spirit of devotion to the interests of the nation and society. Not concerned groups and classes while running the politics as usual, where powerful passions sometimes overcome common sense and drive to work.
