Abstract: Production is one of the most essential social economic activities. This chapter addresses the mode of production while the next chapter deals with approaches to production, which together constitute organization of production. Organization of production is considered here as a realization of the mode of production and involves concrete approaches to production. It follows the doctrine that the mode of production is comprised of the forces of production or productive forces and the relations of production. That is, the unity of the productive forces and the relations of production constitutes a certain mode of production in society. The chapter deliberates on the foundation of the mode of production, the State assets and enterprises. It is indicated that property relations have been very clear and vague at the same time, from which arise economic and social inequity and a sense of it. In the circumstances, institutional reforms of the second category State apparatuses have taken place from time to time, guided as well as constrained by the ideological consideration on the complex and controversial relationships between the productive forces, the relations of production, the infrastructure and the superstructure, which are subject to varied and changing interpretations.
