In order to improveCompetition is as important as privatisation for the improvement of
efficiency. In Russia, market entry is difficult due to barriers imposed
by regional authorities. Firms need to survive under hard budget constraints, such as losing workers or shifting the product mix. This makes the firms more efficient, as they are reacting to external pressures. Too much cost-cutting has been criticised, as a company needs some slack in order to innovate and develop new strategies “The labour processes in the socialist period were based on Taylorist principles” (M-form is mentioned in Peng and Heath, 1996 - how oddly capitalist!). Firms should employ post-taylorist principles, but too many transition economies use them even more, such as Hungary. “Organisations evolve, rather than reincarnate themselves overnight”
