Departments are allowed to purchase support services such as printing, maintenance, computer repair and training from in-house providers or outside suppliers. In-house providers of support services are required to operate as independent business units competing against outside contractors for departments' business. Under such a system, market forces are brought to bear within an organization. Internal customers can reject the offerings of internal service providers if they don't like their quality or if they cost too much. These subsidize the consumer of the service, but services are provided by the private sector.
Government stops providing a service and lets the private sector assume the function.
Community groups and neighborhood organizations take over a service or government asset such as a local park. The new providers of the service also are directly benefiting from the service. Volunteers are used to provide all or part of a government service. Volunteer activities are conducted through a government volunteer program or through a non-profit organization. Government organizations are reorganized along business lines.
