Autonomy strategies of government owned business corporations in Canada
研究了加拿大国有企业（政府所有商业公司）的环境，识别出私有化和商业化两大趋势，并指出管理层为减少政府干预、增强决策灵活性而制定自主权策略，最后构建了分类企业行为的类型学。
Abstract State‐owned enterprises, referred to as “government owned business corporations” in this paper, are a common phenomenon in Canada, are increasing in number, and are contributing substantially to the economy. The environment for these corporations is examined to establish the principal components and to identify two dominating trends in public policy, privatization and commercialization. The paper suggests that these trends, plus management's desire for flexibility, are resulting in the formulation of autonomy strategies designed to increase management's decision making capability relating to operating and strategic management with less government interference. A final section integrates the environment and autonomy strategies discussions to develop a typology for classifying the behaviour of government owned business corporations. The paper concludes that managers of government owned business corporations in Canada are formulating and implementing autonomy strategies because of environmental factors, public policies, and management's desire for independence.
