Description
The “MYSORE” Industries brand affirms the array of State-Owned Enterprises
(hereafter, SOEs) of Karnataka classified under State-Government Company, Non-
Government Company, and Subsidiary of Foreign Company. The case distinguishes both
listed SOEs (namely Mysore Paper Mills Ltd. (MPML); They utilize the local resources to augment the industrial growth providing a
supportive strand to CPSEs. As a result, the firm size does matter with an overall investment
of Rs. 100 crores (SOEs) against a whopping Rs. 1000 crores (CPSEs). Due to these
constraints, investment decisions also get politicized as there is no governing board to process
the investment proposals and neither are the bureaucrats professionalized to effectively
manage the enterprise. This has led them to be biased in introducing economic reforms as
various political parties in power do not approve the nature and extent of reforms to be
undertaken. In response, the central government between 1990-91 to 2000-01 have rather
curbed SOEs in isolation against the ambit of National Renewal Fund (NRF). As Mishra &
Navin (2002), elicit SOEs are restricted from appointing Chairman-cum-Managing Director,
