Public Enterprises In Pakistan

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.

Even managers critical of Pakistan's new performance evaluation system consider its targeting and bonus system a powerful incentive to improve efficiency.

Report on the financial aspects of state intervention in public enterprises in Pakistan - outlines development of the public sector, the nationalization period from 1972 to 1977 and industrial investment under national planning; notes industrial policy on pricing, the extent to which financial losses are covered and subsidies provided; lists public enterprises.

This book provides a research-based analysis of public sector reforms in Pakistan. It offers a broad overview of reforms at different levels of government – including federal, provincial and local – and examines decentralization and devolution reforms in various policy sectors. It also reflects on market-oriented reforms and the steps taken to involve the private sector to build a better-governed public sector, and explores new trends in the public sector in the areas of digitalisation and disaster management. Bringing together young researchers, academics, and practitioners, the book sets a new milestone in the movement towards context-specific reform studies in both academia and the professional practice of public administration, particularly in South Asia.
