Some people argue that government-owned enterprises do not perform as well as private enterprises. Specifically, government-owned enterprises cannot efficiently allocate resources used in the production process. Do you agree with this view? Please use economic theories to explain in detail why you think this is correct or why this statement is not reliable. In your explanation, please make a comparison between a government-owned company and a private company in the same industry to support your argument. You may compare the operating revenue, costs, etc. of the two companies.

4) How does it compare with what the company was expecting?

5) What might the company have done to protect itself?
