Government Enterprise – A government enterprise will be taking on new meaning in 2009, as the US Government holds a stake in General Motors, among other businesses. In the past, a government enterprise usually referred to company that is sponsored by the government, and these were typically public utilities. The benevolent reasoning for the government to support services such as transportation, energy, water or telecommunications, is to secure and maintain basic community infrastructure. This action can create some monopolies within those industries. However the government feels its’ involvement is in the best interest of the consumers. |
