Reader Question: Is a strong small business sector important to the stability and growth of a nation’s economy?
In a word yes! And the critical role that public sector (government) policy plays in terms of being the primary link between successful domestic engagement and effective international cluster development cannot be underestimated.

4.5 Improving the performance of public services and formal sector enterprises: Working Out of Poverty
In many developing countries, pay and conditions in the public services have deteriorated badly over the long years of austerity associated with structural adjustment and the debt crises. This has seriously damaged morale and performance, led to the loss of some of the most talented public servants to the private sector, increased the risk of public servants resorting to “charging” citizens for services by demanding under-the-counter payments, and weakened confidence in the function of government.
3.1.2 Training for the formal sector: Training priorities, resources and reorientation
Despite oft-repeated government pronouncements about the need for concerted efforts to improve the skills of the poor, responding to formal sector training needs has remained the top priority for most public sector training institutions during the 1990s.
The Bands of Public Sector Supplier Engagement
“To really leverage vendor partnerships, solution providers need an in. For the public sector, that entre has to go beyond the program to the individual behind it who understands the market nuances and challenges that can hold partners back.” From the article 25 Public-Sector Channel Leaders (ChannelWeb Network, March 19, 2007) In one simple statement within the confines of a single article there has never been a better or more succinct explanation of what plagues public sector procurement practice today. Especially in the area of supplier development and engagement!

MERX: An Evolution to a Broader Market (MERX Profile)
MERX: An Evolution to a Broader Market (MERX Profile) “Regardless of the moniker, the majority of government initiative elemental roots can be traced back to the New Public Management (NPM) ideology in which efficiency, accountability, decentralisation and marketisation are the main components or drivers (J.E. Lane, Public Sector Reform: Only deregulation, privatization and marketisation, Public Sector Reform, 1997).

About.com’s Martin Murray’s post “Non-Profit Organization Suing ERP Supplier” A Sign of the Times?
In a white paper that I had written in 2007 titled “SAP Procurement for Public Sector” I had highlighted how the challenges with failed ERP-centric initiatives extended beyond the public sector to include the private sector. The difference as one senior Colgate-Palmolive executive told me shortly after scrapping a failed program was that “unlike the public sector in which a failed initiative becomes front page news, private sector company ERP failures rarely make a blip on the media’s collective radar screen.” The lack of media awareness notwithstanding, the frequency of failures in the private sector is comparable to the number of setbacks that occur in the public sector.
A Revenue Positive Business Model in Public Sector Purchasing (Part 1)
The core “philosophy” behind the New Public Management or “NPM” concept (which has been part of the government lexicon since the 1980s), is the belief that a “market orientation in the public sector will lead to greater cost-efficiency for governments, without having negative side effects on other objectives and considerations.” While there may be merit in the NPM vision, in reality its practical implementation has for the most part been sidetracked into an imitate versus innovate approach. Specifically, the philosophy has been reduced to one of using the same technological platforms and methodologies in the public sector as the ones used in the private sector.

The Revised Payment of Gratuity Act - A Boon for Private Sector Employees

Government Needs To Change Its Own Health Habits
Obamacare is, at bottom, a wild spending spree. It's a government land-grab. It's a transfer of a sixth of the U.S. economy from the job-creating private sector to the wealth-destroying public sector. In a metaphoric sense, Obamacare (having been rammed down the patient's throat with dubious legislative procedures) is like a cancer on our economy. It's a glut of carcinogenic taxes and spending, the likes of which have made our government fat, slow, and stupid....
