Specialities of Management in Public Utility Companies in Slovenia
The paper focuses on managers’ activities in public municipal companies and issues which influence their priorities and the perception of the management. The research presented confirms the hypothesis that less competitive and politically colored environments in which managers in public municipal companies operate significantly influence the ways in which public companies are managed. The lack of competition is reflected in low interest in benchmarking, quality of services, and also in information technologies and contemporary management tools. The influence of politics reduces interest in decision making. Because of that managers in such companies do not value very high organizational issues, human resource management, and even ethical concerns. On the other hand lobbying political parties seems important to them.
