“…Since the first time being implemented in Australia in 1996, competitive neutrality has become ubiquitous being widely adopted all over the world (Lane, 1997). It means that the notion of "competitive neutrality" has received great concern in the international arena for about 2 decades, but the situation is not the same in the developing world.…”

Since then, competitive neutrality has become increasingly ubiquitous wide spreading all over the world receiving great concern from a number of governments.…”

The growing importance of competitive neutrality in the national and global market-place has given rise to concerns about how to ensure a level playing field -where state-owned enterprises and private entities compete. The paper aims to clarify the issue of competitive neutrality in general and current challenges faced by Vietnam policy makers committed to the level playing field between public and private business enterprises in particular. It is also to serve as an inspiration to governments that confront similar challenges and a contribution to establish the competition regime based on principles of competitive neutrality. This paper also aims at establishing a comprehensive overview of Vietnam's Competition environment and Competition Law as well as presenting a representative picture of Vietnam's State-owned enterprises and challenges for the application of competitive neutrality in Vietnam, from that recommendations will be made. It is carried out as a study in the field of competitive neutrality that promotes the efforts of governments and policy makers committed to the level playing field between public and private business enterprises.Research for this paper was funded by the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs under the SECO / WTI Academic Cooperation Project, based at the World Trade Institute of the University of Bern, Switzerland.

“…At the micro level, the NPM reform is based on the desire to increase the efficiency of public agencies (Lane, 1997;Considine & Painter, 1997). It views NPM as an organizational theory attempting to transform the public sector through reforms that focus on results in terms of efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of service.…”

There has been a notion that public administration is steadily progressing toward a unanimously accepted and universally applicable administrative reform theory and practice called the New PublicManagement (NPM). To reinvent their public sectors, many countries have embraced the ideas of NPM that are based on the private sector model. Through the lens of a metaphorical analysis, this paper highlights and explores the specific weakness in the NPM’s claim of a convergence to a business-like model driven by competition and technological advances, reveals the private interests disguised as public good underlying the NPM movement, and questions its emphasis on managerialism by rejecting a politics-administration dichotomy. It is further argued that, like any other administrative and policy argument, viability of the NPM to a large extent depends on its ability to strategically craft persuasive rhetoric in its favor.

“…According to Lane more comprehensive and strategic efforts require great initial political leadership and will (LANE, 1997). The new strategic management system in New Zealand sprang mainly from three sources: the prime minister's concern to operationalize his political vision for the nation, the Treasury's desire to lock in the gains that had been made through active budget management, and the State Service Commission's (SSC) concerns about departmental corporate management and chief executive performance agreements (BOSTON/PALLOT, 1997).…”

Rekahet özel sektörde. etkinliğin. verimliliğin. kalitenin. çabukluğun bir teminatı ya da tetikleyicisi olarak algılanmaktadır. Bir yanda uygulamada rekahetin bu yöndeki olumlu etkileri. diğer yandan da kamu sektöründeki verimsizliğin. etkinsizliğin. hantallığın. aşırı bürokrasinin sebebi olarak görülen tekel niteliğine karşı duyulan tepki. rekabetin kamu yönetiminde de gündeme gelmesine neden olmuştur.Bu çalışmada.kamu yönetiminde rekabetin olabilirliği. işlevleri. rekabet biçimleri ve mekanizmaları. ortaya çıkabilecek muhtemel sorunlar tartışılmıştır. Çalışmada özellikle kamu sektöründe rekabet yerine geçebilecek yöntemler üzerinde durularak. kamu yönetimini modernleştirme çabalarına. yeni kamu yönetimi anlayışı (NPM) çerçevesinde ışık tutulmaya çalışılmıştır.
