Press Release: Research Project of the University of Maastricht, the Netherlands to visit Indonesia from January-May 2009 to conduct business research.

Research Project Maastricht (RPM) is an annual non-profit business research project of the University of Maastricht, the Netherlands. This year’s destination will be Indonesia. The purpose of the project is two fold: first, due to the non-profit character of our project RPM can offer high quality business research at cost price. This means that companies that would normally not be able to afford this can now have research performed tailored to their own needs. Second, to stimulate investment and business in emerging economies and increase awareness of doing business there, also (and perhaps in particular) for small and medium sized enterprises.

The RPM team consists of 15 carefully selected students in the final stage of their studies. Due to the variety in academic background (consisting of inter alia students in law, macro and micro economics, international business and health sciences), it is a diverse team with up-to-date knowledge and practical skills. Both the Dutch Ambassador to Indonesia, His Excellency Dr. Nikolaos van Dam and the Indonesian Ambassador to the Netherlands His Excellency Mr. Junus Effendi Habibie have fully endorsed RPM.

Examples of the type of research RPM can do are: market analysis, competition analysis, identification of possible partners, import/ export analysis, consumer behavior analysis, distribution/logistical analysis, outsourcing possibilities, identification of relevant legal framework, a feasibility study, employee satisfaction survey etc.

In the past RPM has done research for multinational enterprises (Air France-KLM, Wolters Kluwer, Nedloyd, Shell, ABN-AMRO etc.) as well as small and medium sized enterprises from all over the world.
