Résumé anglais Structures of public companies All non-collectivist countries distinguish traditionally between two types of legal organisation, viz under public and under private law. As regards the first type, purely public law companies without legal capacity tend to disappear to the advantage of public institutions (etablissements publics), which in turn change gradually by taking over managerial structures or forms of management from the private sector, unless they do not become companies rightaway. There seems to be a general trend towards assuming statute law types of organisation considering that public companies depend ever more on central bodies or firms, concerns, holdings, controlling “clusters” of subsidiaries. The public economy sector is hence taking on a new structure the main feature of which is the evolution towards 'public groups' . Here the development of a legal framework for the public company remains a delicate question, although some Latin-american countries and France work on it. The choice of structures has to respect a certain number of factors, such as convenience of management, type of tasks, technical and economic operating features, as well as national political options and problems of control. The author assesses in respect of each factor the various criteria to be taken into consideration to solve the problem of structural choice, of which the most prominent aspect is the need for constant adjustment. This need becomes in practice an issue of current management for the state and public groups.
