American business executive Harvey Goldstein worked among the emerging companies in Southeast Asia for more than five decades. Based in Jakarta, Indonesia, Harvey Goldstein founded Harvest International Ltd. to assist clients in conflict analysis and resolution.

Conflict resolution is an art. That being said, there is a proper way to handle different kinds of conflict. In the workplace, where employees have diverse personalities, conflict is inevitable. For this reason, business executives should develop the skill of analyzing and resolving conflict. Here are five simple steps.

1. Know the root cause of the conflict. The likelihood that a conflict gets resolved increases when the cause of the problem is identified. Disputants can take time to air their sides of the story to allow the executive to understand the real situation.

2. Investigate beyond the situation. In many cases, conflicts arise beyond the circumstances of the situation. There might have been problems in the past between the parties that were not resolved. These unresolved issues can pile up, leading to stressful situations that lead to conflict.

3. Ask for possible solutions. Ask the disputants how they think the conflict can be resolved. The executive should be keen to listen, taking notice of verbal nuances and body language. The goal is to resolve the conflict, so the disputants will have to work together to put an end to the problem.

4. Identify the solution that each of the disputants is willing to support and be able to weigh the pros and cons of the possible solution. The solution should always be created from a management perspective.

5.Each one involved should agree to the solution. As mediator, the executive should seek the agreement of the disputants by getting them to shake each other’s hands and uphold the resolution.

​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.

​Harvey Goldstein of Indonesia has advised numerous Fortune 100 companies setting up shop in South Asia. A reputable public speaker on foreign direct investments who's firm RMI, has worked with the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, Harvey Goldstein’s Singapore investment work via Business-Link Consultancy, included advising companies on joint ventures.

A joint venture is a legal business arrangement where two or more individuals or entities come together to accomplish a specific task. The task may be to undertake a common business. Each of the entities will be responsible for the profits and costs associated with the business undertaking.

Being only a business arrangement, the joint venture is definitely not a legal entity in that it cannot contract in its own name, neither can it own property. It does not take the form of a corporation or partnership. It can only conduct the business it was formed to undertake.

Examples of joint ventures include two firms agreeing to advertise under the same booth in a trade convention or two corporations coming together to invent microchips. The identifiable factors of a joint venture are the coming together of two or more parties for a common objective.

This form of business is attractive since it allows parties to share in the risk and return of a business.
