After the implementation of New Economic Policy in 1991, the thrust on privatisation, globalisation and liberalisation has built a newer economic fabric. Commercial viability efficiency, reasonable return on investment, exit policy, disinvestment, MOU etc. have become strategic areas for public sector administrators.
