Balanced
Scorecard for State-Owned Enterprises
Governments around the world are fiduciary owners of billions of dollars
of equity capital. Often, especially in transition economies, governments
hold majority ownership of their country’s largest enterprises.
However, the civil service employees that are designated as caretakers
of these government-controlled corporations typically have little experience
or training in portfolio management, enterprise performance measurement,
or strategic management. This book is written to provide analytical guidance
based on international best practices in the area of state-owned enterprise
performance management and corporate governance. In short, the book contains
a road map for governments to use the balanced scorecard to better manage
their public sector organizations.
