Abstract

The economic climate in Europe is strongly in favour of deregulation and privatisation. This increasingly means that previously well protected public enterprises are having to adapt their strategies to a newly competitive and unprotected environment. This is the type of climate which prevails in Hong Kong, and in this article the authors analyse the literature on possible strategies for dealing with the deregulated environment and, from research, can report on those which are actually used in Hong Kong. They conclude that there is a preference for simple competitive strategies backed up by attempts to influence public opinion, and that little use is made of cooperation amongst organizations or attempts to influence the environment. This suggests that there might be a substantial change of strategic emphasis as European public enterprises become deregulated and privatised.
