Author Bio
Colin Chapman, one of Britain's leading financial journalists, presents a straightforward yet authorative explanation of the different phases which turn a public sector enterprise into a fully-fledged privatized plc: commercializatioin, 'corporatization' and the so-called 'fattening up' prior to flotation. There are special sections on price fixing as well as on the role of privatization in Eastern Europe and the Third World.
