 CREATIVE DESTRUCTION IN EMERGING MARKETS:
In the context of the recent, globally pervasive institutional innovation of telecommunications enterprise (“telecoms”) privatization, transfer of ownership and control from state to private hands induces change in incentives and behaviors, though the short- to medium-term performance implications of that change for shareholders are in dispute.
The percentage of state ownership in a privatizing enterprise may tend, therefore, to be positively related, or at least, less negatively related to enterprise performance compared to the mainstream view.
With retention of substantial state ownership (but with effective control in the hands of enterprise managers), the state would communicate to anxious private shareholders an intent to share in their economic fate and, thus, ensure minimal enterprise performance standards.
