Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the role that privatization can play within a wider strategy designed to overcome the problems associated with public enterprises. For this purpose, privatization is defined as a transfer of ownership and control from the public to the private sector, with particular reference to asset sales. It is therefore equated with total or partial denationalization. Economic efficiency is not only the key to improving the performance of the public enterprise sector, but is also the source of other gains often attributed to privatization, in particular, its favorable budgetary impact. To public enterprises that are subject to national or international competition, privatization offers the possibility of increased productive efficiency as government financial backing is withdrawn and bankruptcy and takeover become possibilities. The admissibility and desirability of privatization, as well as what types of enterprise should be privatized, ought to be determined by similar considerations in both industrial and developing countries.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria's political economy has straddled the ideological divide between socialism and capitalism. The country produces oil, and at some point in its existence, it embarked on robust state involvement in the economy. This was marked by the acquisition, or establishment, of numerous state enterprises. Over the years, the performance of these enterprises was found to be dismal, and as part of the overall reform of the economy, Nigeria has joined the global trend toward reduction in direct state ownership of enterprises. Indeed, it has embarked on massive divestment of state interests in once publicly owned firms. Besides the universal rationale of efficiency, one of the objectives of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is the attraction and retention of foreign investments. This work examines the direct and indirect linkage between the government's divestiture of its interests in firms, on the one hand, and foreign investments in the country, on the other hand. The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the political and economic history of Nigeria, to set the background and context that necessitated the introduction of the reform package of which privatization is just an aspect. Chapter 2 is a discussion of various natures of state involvement in an economy. This ranges from mere regulation to active participation. The chapter discusses the competing conceptual and ideological theories and tries to situate the Nigerian experience within the broader conceptual dichotomies of capitalism, socialism and the via media of mixed economy. Chapter 3 is an examination of the meaning and rationales for privatization of state owned enterprises generally and the Nigerian attempts in particular. Nigeria's privatization program is an ongoing exercise. Yet two distinct attempts are identifiable: one which started in 1988 and the reinvigoration of the exercise, albeit with new constitutive frameworks, in 1999. Thus, Chapters 4 and 5 review the legal and institutional frameworks for these two exercises. Chapter 6 deals with foreign investments in Nigeria. The discussion encapsulates the pros and cons of foreign investments, especially in Nigeria. Chapter 7 explores the direct and indirect linkages between the privatization program in Nigeria and foreign investments in the country. This is particularly apposite because one of the touted objectives of the privatization exercise is the attraction of foreign investments. A conclusion follows. The work finds that although foreign investments appear to have been indirectly boosted by the privatization exercise, foreign investors initially did not show interest in direct acquisition of the shares and other interests being relinquished by the government, but that that attitude has been changing gradually.

This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, , course: Business Administration, language: English, abstract: Power Holding Company of Nigeria Limited (PHCN), a public enterprise was established, financed and managed by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The paper utilized both primary and secondary sources to analyzed the effect of privatization and commercialization of PHCN on service delivery to electricity customers in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. The study engaged one hundred and fifty-four (154) respondents randomly-selected from the five departments of PHCN, Uyo. The findings revealed that PHCN has to contend with internal and external externalities and constraints such as: poor funding of the enterprise, corruption, excessive control by the Federal Government, vandalization of its equipment by hoodlums, fraud, shady dealings, poor maintenance, damage to electricity infrastructure by windstorms and erosion, debts owed it and irregular rainfall. Government should examine and select the competent professionals as Public-Private Partners (PPP) and not people/enterprises with questionable character to handle commercialized and privatized Government enterprises . Capturing the confidence of labour Unions, building more power plants, staff training and motivation, monitoring of the privatization processes, transparency and accountability will check corruption, Government interference and recruitment by patronage. The paper concluded that electricity is the bedrock of socio-economic development of any nation, hence priority must be set for its full privatization and commercialization as it did to the national telecommunication carrier, NITEL, so than Nigerians and Nigeria can grow and develop like other nations such as Malaysia, Indonesia and India, which have almost same characteristics as Nigeria. A Private sector-driven economy is key to this development and government must create this opportunity and environment in Nigeria, if it must grow and develop industrially, socially and economically.

Book excerpt: This book tries to systematize the lessons learned in the past two decades of public enterprise reform to correct the perceived deficiencies of state-enterprise sectors in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It addresses the macroeconomic adjustments typically required in the effort to fashion a more open and competitive economy - liberalizing trade and ending preferential treatment for state enterprises; shifts toward market-oriented financing in the banking system; moves toward market pricing and reforming the institutional structure for setting tariffs; and establishing more competitive and evenhanded compensation and staffing policies in state enterprises. It argues that with macroeconomic reforms under way, government needs to ground its reform of state enterprises in an assessment of the purposes to be served by its state-owned sector. It describes how reforming the relationship between government and its enterprises entails striking a delicate balance between autonomy and accountability. The report examines the mechanisms used by governments in a variety of developing countries to set goals for state-owned firms and to evaluate their performance. It addresses the promise and the risks of privatization, whether through outright sales, management contracting, leasing, franchising, contracting-out, or encouraging new entrants into the private sector. It also offers an overview of the task facing governments with a failing public enterprise sector.

This book was released on 2016-09-06 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: 2.1, course: Public Administration, language: English, abstract: The establishment of public enterprises by governments of developing economies has been identified as a strategic approach to accelerated economic and national development. The main prop was the fostering and harnessing of economic potentials, balancing and control of strategic and social interest of the country, full employment as well as generation of revenue for the development of infrastructure. With the exception of some episodic successes recorded at inception, structural legacy of public enterprises and their corresponding impact on the Nigerian economy have been burdensome. This research was therefore inspired by the need to critically evaluate the factors leading to the dismal performance of public enterprises using the Cross River Newspaper Corporation as a case study. A sample of 360 persons was used for the study. The data for this study was generated from a well structured questionnaire which was administered on the sample. Research hypotheses were tested using Parsons Correlation Coefficient method. The result of the analyses revealed a positive correlation between the dependent and independent variables. Accordingly, the four Null Hypotheses were rejected. Recommendations were made in line with the findings.
