This book investigates performance of both private and state-owned enterprises since the advent of the intensive privatization programmes in Europe at the beginning of the 1980s. Major theoretical approaches, such as the property rights theory, the principal agent theory, the Austrian school of economics and the public choice school, stress the superiority of privately-owned over state-owned companies without addressing how corporate performance should best be measured. With problems existing with standard measures of corporate performance, another method, namely factor analysis, is applied in this volume to best compare the two states.

As we move into the 21st century, many of the old rules no longer apply. In today's challenging business world, the person who runs his company by the seat of his pants often winds up on the seat of his pants. Today, while many companies are struggling just to keep afloat, savvy business owners are quietly experiencing explosive growth. They are successful because they are following a specific set of prioritized procedures. Few entrepreneurs seem to grasp the disarmingly simple premise - that, all too often, failure is the result of not having developed and executed a fully integrated strategic plan. Without a clear marketing strategy, even the best ideas in the world are doomed to failure. Most would-be entrepreneurs start their businesses for all the wrong reasons. They go about it in a disorganized and unsystematic fashion. By impulsively hopping from one opportunity to another, they blame their lack of success on circumstances beyond their control. They don't have a clue!...

The Oxford Handbook of Work and Organization aims to bring together, present, and discuss what is currently known about work and organizations and their connection to broader economic change in Europe and America. Issues of conceptualization are not neglected but, in contrast to other comparable volumes, the emphasis is firmly on what is known what and has been observed by researchers. The volume contains a range of theoretically informed essays, written by leading authorities in their respective fields, giving comprehensive coverage of changes in work, occupations, and organizations. It constitutes an invaluable overview of the accumulated understanding of research into work, occupations and organizations in recent decades. It shows that in almost every aspect of economic institutions, change has been considerable.
