Consider this especially when public sector industries are run along private sector models anyway, with the idea of public service overrun by profit margins and targets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272619118816038567.post-69487724159752776482010-11-23T11:48:51.263+00:002010-11-23T11:48:51.263+00:00I think the distinction between private and public...I think the distinction between private and public sector is not so clear cut. Even in a supposedly publicly provided service, many parts of it may be executed by private companies (for example, much the equipment used in hospitals is manufactured by private companies). And the converse is also true. For example, banks make huge amounts of money dealing in government debt. Technology companies sell into government departments (inland revenue, military, etc). And you find the same people working in private industry, then the civil service, then parliament or a political party, then private industry again.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02943256809646368811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272619118816038567.post-54618982937585520892010-11-23T03:18:58.975+00:002010-11-23T03:18:58.975+00:00Thank you.
