How may objectives of a private sector firm and a state run differ?

Answer 1

In my opinion: a private sector film is made to appeal to as many people as possible in order to get 'paying bums on seats' in cinemas in order to make a profit for the people who financed the film
Public sector film is often made on a more tight budget (coming out of public funds) and is more often or not for educational, health or information purposes. The message being the most important factor.

Edit - So sorry - just thought you wanted the objectives, - let me go and look up a lot of padding out to your answer and get back to you x

Answer 2

Chalk & Cheese mate ... there is so little in the way of similarities that there is almost nothing to compare ..

State Run .. no Market or Customer choices, no Price or Profit pressure .. results :-
Obsolete out-of-date practices, massive inefficiencies, all workers focus on office politics and 'rights', no-one gives a hoot about costs or customers .. 'spend your Budget or loose it', 'promotion by age' not merit (so highly Unionised = no different in performance between individuals == all get the same pay) & everything runs on a 'non-merit' basis ('who you know'), no payment on results (becasue these are impossible to meaasure), no one answers for mistakes (no matter what these cost or who dies), 'customers' are forced to pay for sub-standard (or non-existant) service irrespective of their wish to recieve such 'service'. Typical examples - Education, Health

Workers in the State Run indiustries have no fear of Redundancy and are concerned ONLY about lining their pockets at the Tax payers expense (but individuals are so powerless that they usually end up with LESS than they would in private industry) .. whilst the Management also have no fear of going bankrupt and are ONLY concerned about appearing 'Politically Correct' (and meeting Government 'Targets')

Private Sector ... Market forces will eventually eliminate out-of-date unwanted unprofitable companies .. Sales force are usually ONLY rewarded on results, inefficiencies resut in redundancies, compitition for customers results in range of services of variable price & quality.

Workers in the Private sector worry about being made Redundant due to poor Company (or individual) performance and negotiate for their own wages based on individual ability and perfomance (plus market demand for their skill set = so some very highly paid workers) .. Managers worry about the Company going bust so concern themselves with costs, performance and product innovation.. Typical examples :- Computers & Mobile Phones

It's pretty obvious that Steve B has never worked in a state run organisation. I wonder why he is so bitter.
