Please help with this paper



One of the goals of bringing together members of the
Capital Ownership Group to discuss the use of employee ownership
in privatization, is to develop recommendations for improving
its use.

An outcome of the listserv "Employee Ownership in Privatizatioon"
(eopriv@cog.kent.edu) is a paper which collects our recommendations
for making employee ownership more successful as a tool of
privatization.

I have begun a draft of this paper. The draft tries to focus
the scope of the paper on obstacles to the successful use
of employee ownership in privatization and then generate
ideas for what different roleplayers can do to overcome
these obstacles.

The role players are:
International donors/lenders
National governments
Regional credit institutions
Regional technical assistance organizations
Labor organizations
Employees

The obstacles are:
Privatization agencies unwilling to sell to employees
Lack of employee interest/support
Lack of competent management
Lack of a viable market
Inefficient operation/technology
Lack of labor/management cooperation
Unavailability of financing for growth

Please review the paper and offer feedback and ideas
on filling out the section for overcoming obstacles.
The DRAFT can be found at:

Thanks for your help
