Paper Abstract
A 21 page paper discussing the benefits and methods of privatizing port operations. The pressure on business all over the world in the past several years has been to become more efficient in operation in all respects. Financial efficiency was one of the first points of focus, but that effort of course led to others. Now the call is to be efficient in the use of all available resources. The concept of efficiency has moved beyond the private sector to become firmly entrenched in the public. Governments of developing nations have come to realize that the port-as-a-business concept can positively and significantly contribute to the national economy. The paper uses examples of ports around the world, particularly in the UK, South America and Asia. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
