摘要：In response to the disappointing economic performance in the 1980s, the Lao government started liberalizing the economy and turned more decisively toward a market-oriented policy under the system called New Economic Mechanism (NEM). This includes a sweeping privatization program of state-owned enterprises (SOEs). Process-wide, privatization has been implemented rather successfully. The few remaining SOEs were given extended operational autonomy in order to survive the transition toward a market economy. Still considering SOEs the backbone of the country’s economy, the Lao government and the enterprises’ management are now paying more attention to improving profitability, productivity and effectiveness of these units by restructuring and developing human resources for long term business goals. Despite these efforts, several structural bottlenecks related to the deeply rooted subsidy system continue to hamper the full development of human resource potentials in these enterprises.
