Abstract

This is mostly a theoretical and methodological chapter which discusses the radical change of the objectives of corporate control policy and the ways of exercising the property rights by the state during the transition based mainly on the Polish case. Conceptual challenges dealt with the setting up the new role of the state in the enterprise sector including the scope of state ownership and goals and objectives of state corporate control—in line with the ultimate model of capitalism being built. Practical challenges and dilemmas included shaping up of an effective policy of the state corporate control. Here, special attention is paid to possibilities to benefit from the experience of developed economies, the issue of placing state corporate policy in the general framework of ownership policy, setting objectives for SOEs, and resolving legal and organizational dilemmas.
