Privatization of Telecommunications in Peru Case Solution
When the government of Peru president Alberto Fujimori embarks on an ambitious privatization program, it turns inevitably to the country’s creaking telephone system. With but 2.5 phone lines per 100 men, Peru, in the mid-1990s, had the lowest phone “density” in Latin America; setup of a new line took years, except via a booming black market in present lines. This case is about the political management of privatization. Caseusers must imagine the possible battles, the objective desired, and the most useful strategies. The sequel describes the early success of the privatization procedure, after the phone system’s sale Telefonica, to the Spanish phone giant. HKS Case Amount 1404.0
