- Abstract
The welfare of all citizens is the goal of every nation. The Indonesian Government adopted various economic policies to archive it. One of the causes of the financial crisis in Indonesia is unfair business competition, among others nepotism and collusion between the authorities and businesses, thereby shattering the economic structure of Indonesia. Law N.5/1999 on Prohibition of Monopolistic Practices and Unfair Business Competition become tools to abolish nepotism and collusion in business. Competition is the best approach to restore the economy because it will trigger innovation and efficiency to benefit producers and consumers. The fair and open business competition will limit and erode nepotistic and collusive behavior. However, the Indonesian business culture is not oriented to free competition. Article 33 of the Indonesian Constitution contains the philosophy of the Indonesian economy builds on a joint effort of the principle of kinship. This philosophy places partnership as a feature of the Indonesian economy, and Law N.20/2008 on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises regulates further. Arduous for Indonesian culture to accept the competition concept since the “gotong royong” is the main principle in economics. Competition and partnerships became a dilemma when vis-a-vis. This research will analyze the crossing path of competition and partnership to find the right approach to harmonize between competition and partnership and as an input for KPPU as an institution that has the mandate to oversee the business competition and supervise partnership.
