Ownership and Management Issues in Taiwanese Public Enterprises

Cheng-chiu Pu

Abstract: The Taiwanese polity has passed through three major milestones over the last two decades, greatly enhancing the democratic characteristics of the state and reflecting a degree of absorption of global economic pressures. The public enterprise system has played an important part in the economic development of the state over this whole period, and the operation of that system has demonstrated a relatively high degree of continuity notwithstanding the political changes. There has been some privatising action, with that action gaining some popularity because it has also seemed to mean "Taiwanisation". But the article shows that the action has not changed the relationship between the government and the enterprises in any fundamental way. It investigates the relevant post-World War II history, explains techniques of government "control", and seeks to account for the seeming inconsistency between formal ownership change and the continuing close government-enterprise relationship.
