"Reshaping governance of state owned enterprises"

Slovenia formally completely reformed their governance system of state owned enterprises in 2015. Key elements of the new system are a new law, adopted general strategy, defined industry priorities, clear benchmarks, and a privatization plan. However, very sensitive political questions seriously challenge the implementation. Both, poor management in the past and sensitive political issues of today, are the key issues of improved governance and better results. Most challenges faced in Slovenia are present in other countries too, and thus the Slovenian experience provide useful lessons for reforms elsewhere. Presentation and discussion will address key issues while revealing how reality complicate matters.
