Abstract
The aim of this paper is to explain why government-controlled enterprises do or do not have international activities (essentially in the sense of foreign direct investments) and to explain the international operations of such enterprises—which of their major operating policy decisions are distinctive in any way and why. The paper arises from 304 interviews with leading executives, government officials, union leaders, etc. throughout the nine EEC countries.
