What breaks up Indonesians’ extended family living?

Like Malaysia, Indonesia is a traditional honor-oriented society. There is strong in-group loyalty including family, friends, and members of the same ethnic group. This is the basis for widespread favoritism in the economy.
     Indonesians value large families, with extended families living together and supporting one another. However, increasing urbanization and the need to move to find employment is breaking up this interdependence and extended family living.
     Harmony and respect characterize the relations among people, Conflict is avoided as values and behavior in all aspects of life are directed towards smooth relations with others. People of low ranks do not make decisions; there is a wait-and-see attitude until senior managers reveal what the decision is.
      The best time of year to schedule business trips to Indonesia is between February and June, and again between September and early December. July and August axe vacation months for Indonesians who can afford to travel.
      Both Malay and Chinese Indonesians respect age, status and position. You should be equally sensitive to those factors at meetings and in social engagements associated with business. Defer to older people by standing when they enter and letting them sit down first. If a meeting involves a very senior Indonesian, it is respectful that your organization has a very senior person available to attend.
     You should be punctual at all time even though your Indonesian counterparts may not be Indonesians generally shake hands all round and give a slight bow of the head. You should do the same. They smile a lot, but this does not necessarily have a positive meaning.
