A state-owned enterprise (SOE) is a combination of a business interest and public service. The global financial auditing and consulting company PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) calls it a vehicle for the acceleration (catalyst) of public value creation. We know that managing an organization with multiple goals is much more complicated. There must be a balance between social goals (mission) and sustainability (business).

In a bad situation, SOEs function as saviors as in the 1998 crisis, during which their assets were sold (privatization) to cover government debts. In a good situation, SOEs become the accelerating pendulum; as in recent infrastructure development. In short, SOEs are at the forefront of the economic cycle: In a good time, they are advantaged and in a bad time, they are sacrificed. So far, SOEs have been in the center of government procyclical policies so that a new direction for the SOE management is needed in the future.
