Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governments throughout the world confront enormous challenges when divesting. Whether it is poor-performing bank loans in Japan and Korea, military bases in the United States, or real estate in eastern Europe, the challenge of public divestment is more than just a question of how to map a path to economic efficiency. Conventional wisdom in public management and privatization literature says that the execution of such enormous tasks as divestment is typically done poorly, and that the government strategy is likely to be inefficient. Mark Cassell argues that privatization must be understood as a political and administrative puzzle rather than simply an exercise in economic efficiency. This study of two successful divestment agencies — the U.S. Resolution Trust Corporation and the German Treuhandanstalt — presents a complex understanding of the two agencies' performance in privatizing hundreds of billions of dollars of assets following two very different crises, the savings and loan debacle in the United States and unification in Germany. In the U.S., the worst economic problem since the Great Depression forced the government to recreate and reshape private property on an immense scale. In Germany, melding East and West Germany involved converting an entire national economy that employed more than four million people. In each case, unassuming public agencies handled two of the largest public sales of assets in this century. Cassell identifies the importance and effects of managerial structures and of national institutions — legislatures and executives — on the outcomes of the reform efforts. This book will be of interest to those interested in alternatives to traditional public-sector structures, electoral connections to bureaucracies, comparative political economy, and the historic events of the aftermath of the savings and loan crisis and German unification. It is crucial reading for policy and public administration practitioners and scholars alike.

Download or read book Why Do Governments Divest written by Alfred Schipke and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-06-28 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On an unprecedented scale, nations at all income levels and across the political spectrum have initiated privatization programs over the past twenty years. In the course of this privatization movement, microeconomic efficiency arguments have become the standard justification for the divestment of public assets. This book presents an alternate view and argues that short-term macroeconomic considerations are often the true motive behind privatization programs. Why Do Government Divest? The Macroeconomics of Privatization is a comprehensive treatment of the macroeconomic issues of privatization. In addition to reviewing topics in economic growth and efficiency, this book explores the fiscal, monetary, balance-of-payments, and employment aspects of privatization. Several diverse case studies illustrate how the pursuit of such short-term political objectives can reduce the benefits of privatization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is widely felt that the public sector in many developing countries is too large, and that privatisation would benefit both the users of individual services and the economy in general. However, enthusiasm for private enterprise solutions is not always matched by the requisite financial and economic technology. The sort of schemes appropriate for a country like China, with its highly planned public sector economy, and Jordan, with its dominant private sector, are unlikely to be the same. Privatisation without reference to these differences will be an economic, administrative and organisational chaos rather than a panacea. Originally published in 1989, this book starts with an analysis on the concept, rationale and fundamental issues of privatisation, with reference to both developed and developing countries. There follows a critical scrutiny of the privatisation programmes of countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, written by contributors actively concerned with public enterprise and privatisation at the time. It examines the role of international aid agencies, including the World Bank, in promoting the schemes and it details the positive impact of them as well as their pitfalls. These country accounts are complemented by a concluding chapter giving an overview of the substantial issues raised.

This book was released on 2022-04-11 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the philosophy and evolution of PSEs in the early years of post-Independent India. It records the causes of disillusionment with public sector and the consequent reversal of government policy, beginning 1991. Disinvestment and privatization policy of the present government is also set forth. Policy of the present government regarding public sector was well articulated by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her Budget Speech to the Parliament on February 1, 2021. It has the following objectives: (a) minimizing presence of Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) including financial institutions and creating new investment space for private sector, (b) post-disinvestment, economic growth of CPSEs/financial institutions will be through infusion of private capital, technology, and best management practices, to contribute to economic growth and new jobs, and (c) disinvestment proceeds to be used to finance various social sector and developmental programmes of the government.

Download or read book Disinvestment in India written by Sudhir Naib and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2004-03-20 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In India the path chosen to reform the public sector has been to first deregulate and liberalise the economy and then to privatise public sector enterprises. Debates have raged on since then on: whether reform of state-owned enterprises is necessary; the choice of strategy and method; and the social and economic consequences of such policies. Sudhir Naib has incisively analysed, from a theoretically informed perspective, crucial aspects of this topical issue. Among the important aspects he discusses are:/-//-/- whether the failure of Indian public enterprises has been exaggerated./-/- can public enterprises be reformed from within or are they intrinsically inefficient?/-/- is a change in ownership the only solution? /-/- impact of ownership and competition on the efficiency of Indian enterprises. /-/- methods of privatisation and the experience of other countries. /-/- impact of divestiture on performance of disinvested enterprises. /-//-/Dr Naib provides a firm-level analysis through case studies of seven partly disinvested enterprises (SAIL, BHEL, IOC, ITI, BEL, BEML, NFL). Impact of post-reform policies on enterprises is analysed in terms of changes in market share, cost structure, profitability and work culture. The strategic response of these enterprises is examined in terms of cost reduction measures, change in product portfolio, restructuring, innovation and institutional arrangement for diagnosing environmental changes.
