Why is the government company form of organisation preferred to other types in the public sector ?

Solution
The Government company form of organisation is preferred over other forms of public sector companies because:-

Freedom from bureaucratic control

  • Though it owes its formation to the government, a government company is relatively free from much of bureaucratic interference.

Flexibility of operations

  • A government company can easily modify or alter its form or style of business in line with the prevailing situation.

Freedom from political interference

  • In several respects, a government company functions independently of the parent ministry or department.

Benefit of Expertise

  • By inviting equity participation by private investors, the government company can reap the benefits of technical and managerial know-how perfected by the private sector.

Best of both the worlds

  • Partification by private investors naturally leads to efficient management of the government company resulting in increased profits.
