Public sector Enterprises (PSEs) in India, particularly the central government owned ones were designated as temples of modern India by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime Minister of India. They were started with clear aim of providing employment, and supplying goods at affordable prices besides the larger goal of industrialization and balanced growth. It did serve the purpose till liberalization was initiated in 1990. The globalization and liberalization has brought about extreme pressure on hitherto protected industries to face competition national private and international firms. The leadership or management style of these PSE units has come under tremendous pressure to survive and excel in the face of national and international competition post liberalization. Researchers believe the management style or leadership style of executives involved in decision making is sometimes the differentiator of successes of companies. This papers in brief discusses the management styles empirically measured in select PSEs.

Abstract


Public sector Enterprises (PSEs) in India, particularly the central government owned ones were designated as temples of modern India by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime Minister of India. They were started with clear aim of providing employment, and supplying goods at affordable prices besides the larger goal of industrialization and balanced growth. It did serve the purpose till liberalization was initiated in 1990. The globalization and liberalization has brought about extreme pressure on hitherto protected industries to face competition national private and international firms. The leadership or management style of these PSE units has come under tremendous pressure to survive and excel in the face of national and international competition post liberalization. Researchers believe the management style or leadership style of executives involved in decision making is sometimes the differentiator of successes of companies. This papers in brief discusses the management styles empirically measured in select PSEs.
