Abstract

This chapter focuses on the integration between state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through national strategic projects (NSPs). It offers a holistic model for designing a new SOE in order to play a greater role in governmental initiatives towards economic diversification and create a platform for a value co-creation and experience-sharing. It also supports other governmental initiatives towards economic diversification like generating jobs, employing local workforce and building national knowledge. By performing systemic analysis of the organisation and its environment, suggestions are made to (a) enhance collaboration and promote alliances particularly with SMEs, (b) unfold the complexity resulting from the environment, (c) identify the SOEs’ core operational activities and (d) connect with numerous potential private companies.
