Strategic Planning in the Nationalised Industries

Chapter 2 in Strategic Planning in Nationalised Industries, 1984, pp 49-64 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract State ownership is only one of a number of factors determining the content and methods of strategic planning in the nationalised industries. In many cases the problems of planning in these organisations are very much akin to those experienced in large firms in the private sector operating in the same or similar fields. Planning in British Steel or British Airways is, for example, very similar to planning in any large steel company or airline. The distinctive factors underlying planning in the large public corporations, which we refer to as ‘nationalised industries’, are only partly a consequence of state ownership; they also reflect the characteristics of the industries involved.
