Need for efficient administrative system [Archives:2002/28/Business & Economy]

YEMEN TIMES STAFF
Management as a science and technique is what our government institutions need to upgrade production and improve economic and social situations and finish development projects according to annual and five-year plans.
Contrary to concept of management prevalent in the developing countries, including Yemen, it is overwhelmed with monotony, weakness of production and corruption.
Bribes and corruption will remain the major obstacles for a mature management system in most developing countries as favoritism plays a major role in recruitment. This situation will ultimately lead to hiring poorly qualified staff for the different governmental agencies who cannot properly run public enterprises.
For the most part Yemens administrative system is run by norms and traditions rather than a science-based knowledge.
Yemens public enterprises badly need personnel with a good managerial expertise to be able to run the countrys economy properly. This will for sure raise the production of these enterprises and contribute to increasing national income. The management sought after in our country should be scientific and overcome the phenomenon of those who decline from paying their accumulated dues. We are really in need of developmental-productive administration system capable of redoubling the volume of production and contribute to supply the national income with new revenues.
If Yemens administrative system continued this way, particularly by facing financial deficit with imposing rise in prices of services on the people of limited incomes, the future of public revenues would be rather dark.
Furthermore, keeping Yemen administrative system this way will lead to a chaotic situation in the whole administrative system of the country.
