Abstract

Privatization is a broad concept in economics. It comprises various operations, such as the introduction of private capital, the selling of government-owned assets, and transition to a private economy. Consequently, three major attributes of privatization are as follows: (1) ownership measures, (2) organizational measures, and (3) operational measures. Ownership measures refer to the transformation of the ownership of public enterprises to private owners. Organizational measures relate to the limitation of the state control in public companies. These involve the employment of methods for the leasing and restructuring of the enterprises. Operational measures concern the way to improve the profitability and efficiency of public enterprises.

David Sime Cargill founded the company as the Rangoon Oil Company in Glasgow in 1886 to develop oil fields on the Indian subcontinent. In the late 1890s, it passed into the ownership of Sir Campbell Kirkman Finlay, whose family already possessed vast colonial interests through their trading vehicle James Finlay and Co. It played a major role in the oil industry on the Indian subcontinent for about a century through its subsidiaries and in the discovery of oil in the Middle East through its significant influence over British Petroleum. It marketed itself under the BOC brand in Myanmar, Bangladesh (formerly East Pakistan), and Assam (in India) and through a joint venture, Burmah–Shell, with Shell in the rest of India.
