IMPLEMENTING PRIVATISATON: SOCIAL CHANGE AS A DISCOVERY PROCESS

David Nott

Economic Affairs, 2005, vol. 25, issue 2, 27-33

Abstract: Philanthropists and social change practitioners have successfully advanced privatisation worldwide over the last three decades. Social change can be thought of as a discovery process in which measures of effectiveness are an invaluable tool for creating transparency and accountability for results. These processes organise knowledge and lead to the invention of better ways of doing things. Examining privatisation as a case study opens a broader consideration of the philanthropic enterprise, including barriers to change, diffusion of innovation, and the use of products to lead change. An examination of the processes which led to privatisation also shows how entrepreneurial philanthropy has promoted privatisation.
