Execs pumped up about deregulation; caution advised by consultants

摘要

Cap Gemini Ernst & Young interviewed over 100 executives across the globe between late August and November 2001 for their recently released study, Making De-regulation Work; Have the Basics been Forgotten? and received an overall excited response to the concept of deregulation. Twenty-eight percent of those surveyed worked in generation, with another 28 percent network providers. Eighteen percent labeled themselves as primarily distribution, with 23 percent in exchanges and 3 percent representing regulators. As far as in-company standing, the interviewees split fairly evenly: 50 percent were CEO or board members, 40 percent were line management, with a miscellaneous 10 percent. Although the study looked positive for the future of restructuring, Cap Gemini consultants advised caution.
