Politics, Privatization and Performance in Greek Telecommunications

The Hellenic Observatory Research Seminar


The talk explores the impact of privatization on the performance of Hellenic Telecommunications. Has political involvement changed and in what ways since the sale of shares in the company? We trace economic and social company performance since 1992 and find it has changed because of two important factors: regulation and labor relations. We conclude the sale of shares is not as important as the intensity of the regulatory framework and political (not management) maneuvering when it comes to labor unions. The study has implications for corporate performance and privatization, especially in the current adverse economic environment in Greece.

Nikolaos Zahariadis is a Professor in the Department of Government at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
