"The public sector enterprises in India have an important role to play during the Eleventh Five Year Plan and in the increasingly globalised world. The book addresses some of the burning issues before these enterprises, such as, diversification, competition, autonomy and corporate governance. The book, an outcome of ‘Proceedings of Chief Executives Conference on Public Sector Enterprises’ is indispensable for academics, public sector managers and policy planners." (jacket)
