Given information:

Explanation:

Competition affects both private and public sector organizations due to the following reasons:

  • Public organizations need to follow guidelines of the government and in case the quality of services is not as good as other public organizations then government may take remedial actions against responsible officers and authorities.
  • Public organizations often receive funds on the basis of the performance or ranking.
  • Public organizations which perform better get opportunities which motivate people working under the organization.
  • Overall public sector may feel competition from private sector as private sector is does a better job, and then there is a possibility of disinvestment by the government in that particular sector.

Public sectors may remain unaffected by the competition due to the following reasons:

  • Public sectors do not have to worry about earnings since; the funding is to be done by the government.
  • Public sector organizations do not get bankrupted therefore; such organizations do not have to worry about repayment or cash inflows to make payments.
  • Public sector organizations do not shut their operations in case of lack of supply or sales or lack of earnings.
  • Therefore, public sector organizations remain unaffected from competition amongst themselves or private sectors.
Conclusion

Thus, public sector organizations generally do not face as much competition as it is faced by the private sector.
