Abstract

Este estudio pretende evaluar si las empresas que fueron privatizadas en Colombia durante los años noventa mejoraron sustancialmente su productividad y rentabilidad, como consecuencia de los cambios gerenciales que se debieron dar, o si por el contrario, continuaron en niveles similares, contrariando la hipótesis de que los nuevos dueños propiciarían cambios sustanciales en su estrategia, como lo demuestra la experiencia internacional. Si este último es el caso, cabría la pregunta: ¿Cuáles pueden haber sido las circunstancias que motivaron a los nuevos propietarios para no efectuar cambios sustanciales en la estrategia empresarial de las empresas recién adquiridas? A esta pregunta se podría responder que los métodos seguidos por el gobierno en el proceso de la privatización, en especial en la selección del comprador, de un lado, y de otro lado, el nivel de concentración de la estructura de mercado resultante después de la privatización, podrían explicar la diferencia en el comportamiento de los nuevos empresarios, con relación a la experiencia internacional. Si el proceso de negociación de las empresas no fue suficientemente transparente, o si la estructura de mercado resultante no es suficientemente competitiva, podrían no existir suficientes estímulos para que los nuevos dueños se comportaran de forma más eficiente.
