“…It would be wrong, however, to assume that the adoption of such regulatory frameworks in developing country contexts has mitigated the risks of opportunism, political risk, or the problems of creeping expropriation through rent seeking behavior (Bergara et al . 1997, p. 16; Dassler 2006). Constraining government opportunism and political risk is a function of both the regulatory regime and the institutional environment.…”

Infrastructure provision the world over has undergone a series of profound changes in the manner of its financing and governance over the last 30 years or so. While the role of the state has diminished as a direct provider, builder and operator of infrastructure, its role as regulator and overseer has undergone substantial growth, increasing the regulatory burden on the state. While this transition has occurred relatively smoothly in developed country contexts, in developing countries the diffusion of the regulatory state has produced manifestly different forms of governance, stressing the regulatory capacity of existing and newly formed regulatory bodies. This paper explores the impact and manifestations of regulatory diffusion in the context of the Thai energy sector and the governance mechanisms responsible for electricity generation, transmission and distribution.

“…According to Dassler (2006) traditionally, two theories of regulations have emerged, first the concept of 'regulatory intervention' or, in different terms, the way regulators conduct market intervention and distinguish between market-driven and non-market-driven approaches. Second, in the context of 'regulatory governance', Majone (1996) identifies a substantive and proceduralist model.…”

Recognising that health insurer product innovation plays a critical role in aligning incentives among all stakeholders in the healthcare value chain, this study investigates the relationship between the level of health insurer product innovation and entrepreneurial orientation (EO). Taking cognisance of the importance of external collaboration between health insurers and healthcare service providers, the study is able to diagnose perceptions of strategic regulatory factors and their impact on levels of EO. The focus of the study is on the demand (financing) and supply (healthcare delivery) structures of the healthcare value chain, incorporating health insurers, health insurer administrators and healthcare service providers. A conceptual model is formulated on the basis of literature and tested using confirmatory factor analysis. The results indicate that EO at organisational level is a strong predictor of health insurer product innovation and that external collaboration between health insurers and healthcare service providers is a weak predictor of health insurer product innovation. Practical implications are that both the supply and demand side structures indicate that the restructuring of relationships between health insurers and healthcare service providers is a necessary driver for collaboration in terms of health insurer product innovation progress and success. Healthcare executives need to work with, and actively lobby regulators to ignite both demand and supply side innovation activities in the healthcare value chain of the private healthcare industry of South Africa.

“…Dassler (2004:32) states that there are two broad theories of regulation, namely regulatory intervention and regulatory governance. Regulatory intervention looks at the way in which regulators intervene in the market, while regulatory governance is concerned with the relationship between the regulator and its government, or the way the regulatory office acts under the aegis of the government in the form of legislative acts and other forms by which control can be maintained over the sector to be regulated.…”

Regulatory Environment Analysis in the South African Telecommunications Industry

The regulation of the telecommunications industry in South Africa is, by design, a complex matter, since it is mired with overlaps of mandates between the regulator, Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) and the Competition Commission on competition matters, coupled with vetoing powers of the Minister of Communications. The Harvard Business Model is employed in this article to show that there is a lack of coordinated effort between the regulator and its supporting structures. This then compromises efficiency as demanded by Parliament from state enacted bodies. Since ICASA is faced with dynamic economic and regulatory challenges, it is recommended that the regulator be fully resourced and granted regulatory as well as competitive authority in the telecommunications industry.
