520			_aIt is the idea of fifnancial gain that drives governments to establish income-generating institutions, more commonly known as government-owned or controlled corporations. Privatization as a means of saving a bankrupt or losing entity has been espoused by governments in order to save themselves from further financial losses. Also, privatization is used as a course of action to remedy the moribund financial situation of said entities into a profitable and income-generating venture by turning over the ownership and control from the government to the private sector which usually has more business acumen when it comes to the remunerative aspects of commercial enterprise. Presented here is the predicament of the Japan National Railways.
