Analysis on agent management model in Chinese government investment projects

The state council issued Decision on investment system reform on July 2004, explicitly proposed that Agent management system should be carried out in the non-commercial government investment projects, and that professional management Co. should participate in the construction of government investment projects. At present many domestic provinces and cities have carrying out the system and have obtained encouraging effects. Though the ways in which the government departments choose agent management corporation are different, generally speaking, they can be classified into two categories: setting up a special governmental agent institution (model 1) to take charge of construction management and the other one is to choose management corporation from society (model 2). The latter one could be classified into two subcategories, limited designation (model 2.1) and the public tender (model 2.2). This paper introduces these models and their own advantages and disadvantages, then through two group of contrast research, reaches the conclusion that choosing the agent management corporation from society is much better than the other one, because it can make full use of social resources and competition, and that choosing social company by public tender is an inevitable tendency in the future, but limited designation fits our national situation better.
