Abstract

Besides the civil services, there has been, in virtually every modern state, the emergence and development of public organizations that combine the features of public administration with some key attributes of a private enterprise. The creation of such entities results from the desire to infuse more flexibility and more efficiency in the organization of some governmental activities. These entities are referred to as public enterprises (PEs) or parastatals.
