The government often relies on the cooperation of the company in order to ensure that the company is successfully prepared for sale and transition to the private sector, especially when the sale is to be preceded by major restructuring. Given the important role 58 of the SOEs in privatisation, often new leadership with private sector skills and a strong commitment to privatisation has been put in place to bring about the necessary changes and to lead the company during its transition to the private sector.

SOEs have their own vested interests and the SOE control of the process could potentially lead to a situation where the SOE and government objectives are inconsistent with each other. An obvious example is where the government is seeking to create a competitive market environment while the company management often favours less competition rather than more. For this reason it is important to ensure that the company management is committed to seeing privatisation through and that the SOE does not control the process.
