Public Enterprise and the Developing World

<p>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.</p><p>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. </p>
