State-owned enterprises play an important role in economic growth and the delivery of critical public services such as health, education, water, and energy. ... See More + The underperformance of state-owned enterprises can lead to significant challenges in overall national growth and competitiveness and pose a fiscal risk to the government. Consequently, improving the performance of state-owned enterprises remains an important issue for policy makers and development practitioners. More recently, efforts to strengthen corporate governance have been gaining international momentum as a means to improve the performance of state-owned enterprises. This study aims to examine the relationship between corporate governance and the performance of state-owned enterprises. Using data from 320 state-owned enterprises in the Republic of Korea, the study examines the effects of corporate governance on various measures of state-owned enterprise performance, including performance evaluation results, customer satisfaction, and financial performance. The empirical results indicate that board size, corporatization, and transparency and disclosure are positively related to the performance of state-owned enterprises, suggesting that they have an impact on the efficiency of state-owned enterprises. Independence of the board of directors and separation between the positions of board chair and chief executive officer have an insignificant or negative impact on specific measures of performance. These results suggest that a larger board, corporatization of state-owned enterprises, and more transparent disclosure practices can be beneficial for the performance of state-owned enterprises.  See Less -

The Haryana Power System Improvement Project for India had a moderately satisfactory outcome and satisfactory Bank performance. The lessons learned were: (1) Low tension connectivity should be part of the High Voltage Distribution System (HVDS) system so as to reap the full benefits of strengthening the distribution. (2) More accurate site assessments are required to plan the alternatives on time. (3) Such project needs an efficient contract management process and the contract termination of inefficient contractors, and the award of new contracts for such work should be time based. (4) During implementation of this project, the project management techniques followed through a third-party agency were useful for quality assurance of material and equipment,field erection work, and safety. (5) Preferences should be given to multi-circuit towers to minimize the Right of Way (RoW)-related issues ... See More + . (6) Practices of laying extra high voltage power cables should be adopted to minimize RoW issues and crossings; high temperature low swag conductors need to be used to reduce RoW issues feeding more number of substations. (7) Optimal use of the existing substation and transmission lines should be ensured by upgrades to avoid land-related issues.  See Less -
