43. LESSONS FOR BUSINESS
Business leaders are trusted more than government.
Business is also expected to lead. It is expected to contribute
to society and focus on social issues.
Trust drivers for companies include acting ethically and
looking after employees.
In Indonesia, social issues and community involvement are
mission critical for trust.
Indonesians trust multiple information sources – including
owned assets.
Businesses can capitalize by creating and curating great
content.
43
44. KEY POINTS
Trust across the board in Indonesia remains strong.
Business has a strong trust advantage and Indonesians expect
business to lead, in part because government isn't.
Media trust remains high, but will not be taken at face value. Integrity is
needed to ensure this trust stays high, especially in a national election
year.
Trust in government is low, but has improved. Better transparency
through the KPK and Indonesia’s new generation of political leaders
might be driving trust upwards.
Trust in NGOs has seen a significant gain from last year. More
accountability, better standards and the rise of the ‘corporate NGO’
might be driving this.
Trust drivers this year focus on listening to customers – consumers are
demanding better service.
44
Trust Index is an average of a country’s trust in the four institutions of government, business, media and NGOs. 20-country global total (does not include Argentina, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Turkey, UAE).
Note, Trust a great deal has declined slightly in media – possibly reflecting consolidated ownership by a number of politically linked businessmen. With elections coming up for the DPR and president, people are not trusting media quite deeply or giving it such authority. However, this is only a very marginal fall.
The surprising rapid rise in trust in NGOs is the big news – we will discuss this in more detail on the following slides.In terms of government, there has been a 6% rise; a rise in trust despite multiple corruption scandals engulfing major political parties and senior government officials. What could be driving this? [next slide]
Why a rise in government trust? – Trust in government has gone up, despite high-profile corruption scandals and criticism. What we have seen this year is Indonesia’s new generation of leaders coming through with new ideas and new ways of doing things. They are trusted and they are popular. The election of Jokowi and Ahok had a transformative effect across Indonesia’s political landscape. Jokowi was in touch with the people, he gets things done, he knows how to communicate and connect. His Deputy Ahok instills fear in complacent Jakartan officials and brings them to account on YouTube for their actions by sharing the meetings online. From Bandung to Surabaya, new regional government leaders empowered by decentralization are rising through the ranks of Indonesian regional leadership and achieving national acclaim. This builds trust and hope in government.The other possible reason is that the KPK is holding high level officials to account – even at a national government level. There might have a lot of corruption scandals in the press, but this just goes to show that the KPK is becoming more confident and assertive at tackling government corruption. People maybe trusting government more as a result.
This rise could be down to a number of reasons – we can only speculate, but we have observed a number of factors over the last year.Donor funding is drying up, so there is less funding for NGOS generally and when donors do give money they expect better transparency, ethics and standard operating procedures. The NGOS that do receive funding are a more select grouping and are ‘better’ NGOS in terms of there accountability standards.The other factor is the increasing influence of ‘corporate NGOS’ - NGOs that partner with corporate businesses or are linked to CSR programs that the business may run. Businesses run their NGOS like businesses! They expect full accountability, best practice standards, performance reviews and ethical practices, especially in terms of budgets. These NGOS are forced to act more transparently.
High trust in information is great news for us and great news for business! It is also worth noting that trust in information is markedly higher in Indonesia than the global average. For business, a focus on engagement across traditional, hybrid and social is key – but also your OWN content. New tools such as Outbrain allow us to amplify content across channels too. Creating great content is crucial. Putting your money on owned works.
Why? Many analysts, such as those that spoke at the recent Economist Indonesia Summit, raised the issue of Indonesia still being a ‘command and control economy’ in which the pervasive influence of SOEs can sometimes dominate and distort the market. Many analysts also expressed the issue of not being able to bid against SOEs for government contracts and the lack of transparency. Corruption and favoritism is a concern among many industry players.This is why publically traded companies have high trust levels – they are forced to be more transparent, accountable and act more ethically.
Why? Government officials and regulators might be riding high on the success of the KPK and Indonesia’s new popular political leaders, which might account for the boost. They are still second from bottom overall though.Academics or Experts are still highly credible, but have seen a drop. This might be due to the increasing trend of Academics and Experts having vested interests.
Why? Quality alcohol from the Brewing and Spirits industry is increasingly in demand as more middle class liberal Indonesians enjoy up-scale bars and restaurants. Quality alcohol is also being more heavily marketed in the country. These two reasons might contribute to this +7% rise.It is interesting to see a decline in financial services, despite the Indonesian Financial Regulator OJK requiring financial service providers to undertake more CSR efforts – down 5%.The energy sector – specifically the oil and gas sector – has experienced serious corruption scandals this year, most notably implicating the head of SKKMigas, the upstream oil and gas regulator. This might account for the 5% fall.
This has implications for politics and the upcoming elections. There is a lack of trust in government leaders. Business leaders are perceived as better decision makers. To be a successful political leader, the public will be more attracted to leaders who either are or behave like businessmen, for example Jakarta Deputy Governor Ahok, a former businessman who is bringing business accountability standards to the Jakarta administration.However…would a popular newly elected president change this gap… (eg Jokowi)
- Social issues – ethics and environment score highly. Social issues are important. Looking after employees and acting ethically are the highest social trust drivers. This is important for businesses wanting to build trust in Indonesia. - A focus on customer service and listening to their needs though is at number one – consumers demanding better and quality service. A 22% gap between importance and actual performance. Acting ethically sees the biggest gap in expectations at a 25% mismatch.
It will be no surprise that Indonesians want more infrastructure – anyone living in Jakarta knows infrastructure needs improving, the interesting fact is that Indonesians expect government to take the lead role in doing this as a priority issue. The government is vital in making this happen and Indonesian know this. The private sector needs incentives from government. Government needs to lead. The other interesting issue is the lack of focus Indonesians put on free market access, only 5% say this is an important government role as opposed to 18% globally. This is a circle government will need to square with the upcoming ASEAN Economic Community 2015, which focuses on market access…
There is a serious need for Indonesians to learn about what the ASEAN Economic Community will mean and the benefits that greater integration free trade and regulatory streamlining will bring.
These results don’t mean Indonesians are calling for more red-tape and bureaucracy, what these results likely mean is that Indonesians want to ensure that they get better service, better quality and companies act in a more accountable and transparent way. Remember, ‘Listens to Customers’ is the most important trust driver for Indonesians.What do the results say? Across the board, from financial services to energy to food, Indonesians want the government to regulate these industries more closely. - For financial services Indonesians are demanding oversight to ensure their investments and money is safe- In energy Indonesians will be looking for government to ensure companies act ethically, address environmental concerns and look after their people- In the food and beverage industry, Indonesians want better standards – it is shocking that in Jakarta, the city has no food and health inspection body to check restaurants’ sanitation and food safety. It is also of note that ‘Halal’ labels can be ‘bought’ from the Ministry of Religion.
CEOs need to be about real action and real content. Having a media presence is not enough. Honesty, transparency and leadership during a crisis drive trust globally and in Indonesia. ACTIONS matter not media coverage alone.
There is a role for government in business and making things happen; there is also a role for business partnering with government and playing an active and leading role in society. This is the time for business to lead and capitalise on its trust advantage.
