Abstract: Performance evaluation of public sector enterprises is an activity which if we were to ask what it should incorporate, we would likely compile a long list of issues for investigation. A selected number of these would probably cover areas such as: financial performance, corporate planning, business control, employment practices, consistency between activities of enterprise and social goals of government policy, contribution of enterprise to economic growth, enterprise activity and preservation of environment, consistency between enterprise activity and political objectives, and enterprise activities and their long term impact on the sociological well being of the community. Yet when one is faced with the challenge of what can be done within governmental organization to develop a process for undertaking constructive evaluations of such enterprises it becomes imperative to focus our efforts on a manageably small number of aspects of the problem.
