Question 1 of 5
1. Question
Which of the following could be the reasons for the failure of infrastructure projects by the public sector enterprises?
- Ineffective Governance
- Lack of inter-ministerial/departmental coordination
- Optimum input-output ratio is rarely observed leading to overcapitalisation
- Cost overruns.
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: d)
The primary reasons for the failure of public sector enterprises is no secret. Cost overruns, inter alia, is one of the major reasons. In some cases, project completion time is exceeded, leading to elevated project cost so much so that either the project itself becomes unviable at the time of its launching or delays its break even point. Besides, optimum input-output ratio is seldom observed in a majority of government infrastructural projects leading to their overcapitalisation. A reluctance to implement labour reforms, a lack of inter-ministerial/departmental coordination, poor decision-making, ineffective governance and excessive government control are other reasons for the failure of public infrastructural assets.

This is a classic case of state-driven governance mechanism promoting collaboration among non-state actors.
