Overview

A firsthand account of a highly successful businessman, Tanri Abeng, who served as Minister for State-Owned Enterprises in Indonesia and was responsible for reforming and privatising the SOEs in order to take pressure off the national budget, attract investment, improve management skills, and change a bureaucratic culture for a commercial one focused on competition. The book covers an 18-month period, from March 1997 to the end of 1998, a period when Indonesia's economy was in crisis and the country's economic policies were being overhauled. The author recounts his experiences and lessons learnt and provides a model and method for others in similar situations. In addition Tanri provides insights to the widely differing styles of leadership of the two presidents who led during his term in office: Soeharto and Habibie.
