Abstract

The article presents and analyzes various foreign models and policies for state- owned enterprises. The models of management of state-owned enterprises, the need for their existence and the types of state-owned enterprises are considered successively. The results of the article outline a wide range of national policies for state-owned enterprises. The main factors for their determination are a consequence of the historical development and the social commitments made for economic reforms. The existence of social goals of state ownership creates serious differences between corporate governance in the public and private sectors. The increased complexity in the management of state-owned enterprises stems from the combination of social and economic goals.
