Abstract

This paper traces the reform process within Sinotrans, a Chinese state-owned enterprise (SOE) in the service sector. Government acting as regulator as well as sole owner creates conflicts of interests that complicate the management strategy of SOEs. The core problem facing the management of Sinotrans was to resolve the conflict between changing government policy and need to control an integrated logistic network.
