Article Abstract:

The Swaredz Furniture Co (SFM) was the first state-owned enterprise which was sold to the private sector after the Polish government decided to implement a privatization program. The privatization of SFM showed that despite the absence of a fully developed capital market, public offerings can be used as a means of achieving objectives. In addition, restructuring within the context of privatization is an ongoing process which takes place before, during and after the privatization transaction.
