“…Not only have SOEs employed the large numbers of employees, but they have also operated in some of the most important industries such as electricity, cement, telecommunications, banks and insurance, finance, transport, agriculture, consultancy services, construction, energy, aircraft, ships and ports. SOEs provide essential raw materials and dominate capital-intensive sectors as power, steel, chemicals and machinery (Latifulhayat, 2008;Zhang et al, 2008). Thus, public enterprise reforms and privatization affect multiple stakeholders including public enterprise managers, employees, the government and society at large (Adams and Mengistu, 2008).…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between privatization of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), organizational change and performance. It explores the processes by which privatization affects corporate performance through the internal changes within organizations in a developing country context. Design/methodology/approach-The methodology involved the use of a survey questionnaire. Responses were obtained from 86 managers in 86 organizations, comprised of SOEs, privatized firms and private enterprises in Indonesia. Findings-Cross-sectional analysis shows that there had been a statistical significant difference across the types of ownership pertaining to organizational elements that were expected to change. The evidence suggested that privatization brought about important alignments among the organization's goals, design elements and resources and between the organization and its competitive environment. Practical implications-The implications of the study are discussed in relation to the organizational changes that take place in the transition from public to private sector ownership. The study contributes to our understanding about the relationship between ownership-performance by providing an organizational change perspective on the examination of privatization-performance effect. Originality/value-The paper provides insights into how privatization processes alter the behavior, incentives and performance of formerly SOEs in Indonesia.

“…Entrenching the regulatory authorities" general responsibilities in law, rather than ministerial decrees, could also reduce investors" perceived regulatory uncertainty. A ministerial decree is not a strong enough legal instrument to establish a regulatory agency, since it can be revoked or amended by the government ministry alone, without any consultation with parliament (Latifulhayat, 2008). In Indonesia there have been successful precedents in establishing effective regulatory bodies or independent commissions based on laws, such as the Indonesia Broadcasting Commission and the Indonesia Commission for Unfair Competition.…”

“…Besides, BRTI"s budget is 100% funded through government appropriation. Still, it is at least functionally separate from the government since the members of the Telecommunications Regulatory Committee are not civil servants but are chosen, by the government, from the private, public and academic sectors on the basis of their expertise (Latifulhayat, 2008).…”

Indonesia.s infrastructure is in poor shape, having suffered from protracted under-investment since the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s, and constraints growth potential. This paper focuses on the current state of the regulatory framework and discusses different options for improvement in order to attract needed private investment. It recognises the ambitious reforms undertaken by the government thus far, but suggests that further efforts are needed. The authorities should establish a simple regulatory environment based on effective regulatory agencies resulting in lower regulatory uncertainty and realign prices to cost-recovery levels. This Working Paper relates to the 2010 OECD Economic Review of Indonesia (www.oecd.org/eco/surveys/Indonesia). Relever le défi de l'infrastructure en Indonésie L.infrastructure indonesienne est en mauvais etat, ce qui tient au sous-investissement persistant dont elle a souffert depuis la crise financiere asiatique de la fin des annees 90, et bride le potentiel de croissance. Le present chapitre analyse l.etat actuel du cadre reglementaire et examine les differents moyens de l.ameliorer de maniere a attirer les investissements prives necessaires. Il tient compte des reformes ambitieuses auxquelles les autorites ont procede jusqu.a present, mais tend a demontrer que de nouveaux efforts s.imposent. Les autorites devraient etablir un cadre reglementaire simple s.appuyant sur des organismes de reglementation efficaces, ce qui attenuerait l.incertitude en la matiere et alignerait les prix sur le niveau de recuperation des couts.

Privatization and Financial Performance in Developing Countries: Reality and Myth

During the 1980s, the pendulum swung back from the socialism doctrinaire that dominated the post war period, where public ownership of the productive and services sectors was emphasized. In the early 1980s, new values emerged questioning the role of the state in economic activities. As a result, the pressures mounted to shift to market economy and to rely on private initiatives to spearhead the development process.Accordingly, governments around the globe, including communist countries, announced their intentions to "rolling back the frontiers of the state". The unsatisfactory performance of public enterprises, it was argued, is a direct consequence of their ownership structure. Therefore, the only enduring remedy that emerged was to change ownership.In this paper we assess the efficiency arguments for and against privatization with emphasis on developing countries. It is here argued that the poor performance of public enterprises is due to market structure and lack of clear objectives rather than structure of ownership. Moreover, although there is evidence that privatized firms have improved, we assert that the claimed improvement is difficult to measure, due to the major restructuring that were carried out before privatization to prepare the candidates in order to ensure success of the policy and the change of environment within which they operate. These methodological problems make such comparison before and after at least a protracted and complicated business and the results highly debatable.
