Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of technology transfer status of Indonesian Trainees in Japanese SMEs, focusing on those who are working in Chubu region of Japan. This paper utilizes three step approaches. First, an online survey of potency of Indonesian Trainees in Japan has been conducting since October 2007 followed up by a Japan-wide Entrepreneurship and Banking Trainings (PWEP). Second, a technology and production characteristics survey of Indonesian Trainees who are working at Japanese SMEs in Chubu region of Japan is conducted. Third, the cluster of industrial characteristics is developed in order to derive the pattern of technical potential of Trainees in implementing their learning-by-doing knowledge. Our main findings are: first, over 70% of Indonesian trainees were working at manufacturing-based Japanese SMEs and might acquire a necessary human capital in developing micro-small manufacturing-based business start-ups. In addition, more than 60% of them could save their income at least 25-40% of their total monthly income, suggested that capital foundation required for business creation might then be resolved. Second, by focusing on industrial sector in Chubu region, there are 33.3% of Trainees working at the automotive sector while 24 % of them working at the food and agricultural sectors. In addition, Trainees have been doing their main jobs in production section have predominantly show their performance in mastering quality and productivity system. Moreover, the electrical and/or mechanical parts of the production have also been well recognized. These results suggest that—combining with a business interest and saving their accumulation—the potency of promoting a domestic technology based small business creation might be affordable for the Trainees who will return to Indonesia.
