Railways across the globe develop from
public administrations acting as monopolies
to service-oriented companies operating in
liberalized markets with strong inter- and
intramodal competition. Transforming
a railway is a long-lasting process, which
comprises structural improvements,
strategic realignment of networks and
product offerings, internationalization, and
efficiency improvements. The book provides
an outline of the major challenges in the
transformation process and describes how
leading companies have mastered them.
