Public Sector Strategy

Paper Summary:

The paper shows how public entities have the same understanding of the strategic approach as private companies; they both hire the best candidates, purchase the best technologies, attract additional funds and give back to the shareholders. The paper highlights how although these two types of companies can possess varying resources and are driven by different goals, they still develop and implement similar strategies, in various domains, all to support them in reaching their established goals.

From the Paper:

"The strategic approach forwarded by the companies activating in the private sector is most always centred on increasing their profits. They also desire to fully satisfy the needs of their customers by offering high quality products and services at competitive prices, incorporating the latest technological developments to increase the administrative, production and operational processes and integrating their staff within the strong corporate culture and achieving superiority over the competitors in the respective industry, but the ultimate goal remains that of increasing their profits. Private companies start up by selecting the industry where to activate and by establishing the nature of their activity. Once this is achieved, they move on to selecting the best candidates to occupy the desired positions, train them and remunerate them; then, the companies purchase the necessary machineries and technologies to support their operations."
