​Harvest International owner and founder Harvey Goldstein has decades of experience in business strategy and development. In addition to his work and philanthropic activities, he is an accomplished contributor to several books. In 1994, as the chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia, Harvey Goldstein provided advice and contributions toward several books, including United States Investment in Indonesia and The Culture of Business in Indonesia. Also involved with a business primer titled Business in Indonesia, Mr. Goldstein has established himself as an authority on Indonesian business culture.

Successful business in Indonesia requires an understanding of the local culture and customs. As the dominant religion is Islam, knowledge of that religion’s major holidays and customs is necessary. Additionally, relationships are an important component of successful business, multiple meetings are often necessary to reach an agreement.

Friendliness and flexibility is another important factor in successful business dealings, and a commitment and frequent trips to the region is helpful in establishing trust. However, a deeper understanding of the business culture in Indonesia is essential, as there are varying populations that have different cultural viewpoints.
