INTRODUCTION

The private sector is the part of a country's economic system that is run by individuals and
companies, rather than the government. Most private sector organizations are run with the
intention of making profit. The segment of the economy under control of the government is
known as the public sector. Charities and non-profit organizations are sometimes considered
to make up a third segment, known as the volunteer sector. However, such organizations are
more commonly considered part of the private sector. The private sector is larger in free
enterprise economies, such as the United States, in which the government imposes relatively
few restrictions on businesses. In countries with more government control, such as China, the
public sector makes up the larger part of the economy. In many countries, there is
considerable overlap between public and private sector industries. Examples of enterprises
that are often run cooperatively include waste management, water management, health care
and security services.An industry or business may start out in one sector and move to the
other. The act of turning a publicly-run enterprise over to private citizens is known
as privatization. The opposite movement, from private to public, is known by various names,
including nationalization or municipalization, depending on the level of government
involved.

The private sector is the segment of a national economy that is owned, controlled and
managed by private individuals or enterprises. Because there is little or no involvement of the
government, it is sometimes also called the citizen sector. The private sector has a goal of
making money and employs more workers than the public sector. A private sector
organization is created by forming a new enterprise or privatizing a public sector
organization. A large private sector corporation may be privately or publicly traded.
Businesses in the private sector drive down prices for goods and services while competing for
consumers’ money; in theory, customers do not want to pay more for something when they
can buy the same item elsewhere at a lower cost.

In most free economies, the private sector makes up a big portion of the economy, as
opposed to nations that have more state control over their economies, which have a larger
public sector. For example, the United States has a strong private sector because it has a free
economy, while China, where the state controls many of its corporations, has a larger public
sector.

Types of Private Sector Businesses

The private sector is a very diverse sector, and makes up a big part of many economies. It is
based on many different individuals, partnerships and groups. The entities that form the
private sector include:

 Sole proprietorships

MES Kuttipuram Page 3 Department of MBA

 Project Report 2019-2 A study on empowerment and participation in Benzy Foods and Beverages Pvt. Ltd.

 Partnerships
 Small and mid-sized businesses
 Large corporations and multinationals
 Professional and trade associations
 Trade unions

Even though the state may control the private sector, the government does, in fact, legally
regulate it. Any business or corporate entity operating in that country must, then, operate
under the laws.

Private and Public Sector Differences

The private sector employs workers through individual business owners, corporations or
other nongovernment agencies. Jobs include those in financial services, law firms,
newspapers, aviation, hospitality or other nongovernment positions. Workers are paid with
part of the company’s profits. Private sector workers tend to have more pay increases, more
career choices, greater opportunities for promotions, less job security and less comprehensive
benefit plans than public sector workers. Working in a more competitive marketplace often
means longer hours in a more demanding environment than working for the government.

The public sector employs workers through the federal, state or local government. Typical
civil service jobs are in healthcare, teaching, emergency services, armed forces and city
council. Workers are paid through a portion of the government’s tax dollars. Public sector
workers tend to have more comprehensive benefit plans and more job security than private
sector workers; once a probationary period concludes, many government positions become
permanent appointments. Moving among public sector positions while retaining the same
benefits, holiday entitlements and sick pay is relatively easy while receiving pay increases
and promotions is difficult. Working with a public agency provides a more stable work
environment free of market pressures, unlike working in the private sector.

Private and Public Sector Partnerships

The private and public sectors sometimes work together while promoting common interests.
Private sector businesses leverage governmental assets and resources while developing,
financing, owning and operating public facilities or services. For example, a private
company might pay a state a one-time fee to operate a specific length of freeway for a set
time in exchange for revenue from tolls.

The main reasons behind the low contribution of the private sector in infrastructural
development activities are that:

 The small and medium scale companies in the private sector of Indian economy suffer from
lack of finances to welcome the idea of extending their business to other states or diversify
their product range.

 The private sector of Indian economy also suffer from the absence of appropriate regulatory
structure, to guide the private sector and this speaks for its unorganized framework.

 The unorganized framework of the private sector is interrupting the proper management of
this sector resulting in the slowdown of its development.
