"The case study approach adopted for the select Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs) in this book captures the high and low points in their respective journeys, the impact of the paradigm shift in Government policy on their performance and the distinct corporate strategies adopted by each of them to face the market challenges.
The CPSE Stocks, in the recent global downturn in the capital market, held their ground and outperformed the rest. The forty one CPSEs whose stocks are traded on the stock exchanges, claimed as high as twenty percent share in the total market capitalization on the Mumbai Stock Exchange. There is an increased interest in the CPSEs as creators of wealth and as engines of growth.
The title of the book rightly signifies the important place of CPSEs in the Indian economy. The book will go a long way in creating a new perception about the CPSEs. It is an indispensable book for managers, academics, students and policy planners." (jacket)
