Creating And Financing Public Enterprises

Annotation This specific objective of this book is to explore potential avenues for generating more resources for the public sector to invest in sustainable development.

This book contains a study of the economics and management of public enterprises in Pakistan. It examines their performance, organizational behavior, relationships with other government organizations outside of the sector, and the issues that confront the public enterprise sector and the government.

Originally published in 1984, this book grew out of the papers (and discussions) presented at the Seminar conducted at London Business School during March-June 1983, with a focus on the problems of public enterprise in the context of the developing world. Essentially, three facts of thought emerged: first, on the working of public enterprises in developing countries; second, on joint ventures and consultancies involving public enterprises in the two groups of countries; and third, on the value and relevance of experience of public enterprises in developed countries, particularly in the UK, for the developing countries. Broadly, the Chapter 1 belongs to the first category, Chapters 6 and 7 to the second and Chapters 8 to 13 to the third. The concluding review seeks to highlight some of the major issues that deserve notice in the light of the views expressed in the papers and the discussions that took place on them.

Public enterprise reform is more successful in countries whose financial systems are relatively well developed. Countries seeking to implement broad public enterprise reforms achieve greater success if they also implement substantial and well- designed financial reforms.
