Abstract:

The fundamental difference between the roles of public and private sectors is that governments respond to national interests and concerns, while private firms are driven by the imperatives of profit optimisation. In'the mixed economy system, conventional boundaries between the public and private sectors become blur and the new patterns of interaction have provided numerous opportunities for the private sector to perform public services under governmental binding contracts and regulation. A public-private partnership can be seen as an appropriate institutional means of dealing with particular sources of market failure by creating a perception of equity and mutual accountability in transactions between public and private organisations through co-operative behaviour. The relative merit of this idea is a mutual benefit toward greater co-operation and more effective sharing of resources between the public agencies and private firms in streamlining public service provisions. Although a partnership concept is becoming increasingly common in many areas, a true public-private partnership is more an idea than a reality at present. Implementation of the public-private partnership has apparently created a number of prevailing issues that are in need of clarification. Discussion of the extent of the public-private partnership without considering their fundamental differences would ignore a large and crucial part of the changes that ...commonly occur toward the process of partnership implementation. The intent of this research is to systematically delineate the important dimensions of the partnership between the two sectors and to integrate these dimensions into a unified conceptual model. This study departs from previous research by adding a behavioural approach into the model to understand the maintenance of intersectoral partnerships. The proposed model incorporates insights from interorganisational relations (IORs) theory with the transaction cost economics (TeE) perspective. It was empirically tested on a sample of management executives in Thailand's electric utility industries. The results revealed the factors and their logical relationships underlying the public-private partnership performance. These factors include the level of opportunistic behaviour, contractual safeguards for non-recoverable investments, different bases of conflict resolution techniques, frequency of interaction, partnership commitment, specialised asset holding, balance of cultural difference, interdependence, and trusting environments. The findings also offered some insights on the dynamics of the differences between the private and public sectors pertaining to their partnership arrangements. It was reported that respondents in state-owned enterprises were more likely to perceive direct partnership performance based on programme performance improvement, better service/product provisions, and more opportunities to expand their business interests. The private firms, on the other hand, were more likely to focus on better investment potential and more opportunities to expand their business interests. However, this study placed a special concern with the joint working relationships between the public and private sectors in the electric utility industries, therefore further empirical testing of the generalisability of the proposed model is important and necessary in developing a greater understanding of public-private partnerships.

A ausência de estudos de performance às Parcerias Público-Privadas, releva só por si motivo para a elaboração deste estudo. Ainda mais, porque é um tema onde a informação existente é relativamente recente e comporta por isso bastantes dúvidas sobre quais os melhores modelos a aplicar. A questão de investigação abordada é a performance contabilística das Parcerias Público Privadas, especificamente as concessões sem custos para os utilizadores?. Os métodos utilizados para responder à questão são os métodos tradicionais e os métodos de criação de valor. Os resultados obtidos em ambos os métodos evidenciam uma melhoria significativa, em particular nos últimos três anos analisados. Período em que o Estado iniciou os pagamentos às concessionárias. Conclui-se que neste tipo de parcerias, os intervenientes por vezes não partilham os riscos, como seria de esperar. Visto que, nem sempre o desenvolvimento alcança os objetivos pretendidos, esquecendo-se que uma Parceria Público-Privada envolve uma relação de troca entre o setor público e privado, onde os benefícios e responsabilidades de cada interveniente deveriam ser partilhados.
The absence of performance studies for Public-Private Partnerships reveals itself the reason to write this study. Moreover, because this is a subject of complex analysis, where the existing information is relatively recent and still holds many doubts about the best model to apply. The question made is whether the use of Public-Private Partnerships really presents a good performance for the public sector? That is, if the relationship between the state and the private sector represents or not a gain in creating value (Value for Money). The approach taken to assess the performance of concessions under ?no costs to the users?, was conducted thought the traditional methods as well as thought methods of creating value. The results obtained with both methods show an improved performance, especially in the last three years. The justification has to do with the fact that, since then, the state has begun payments to concessionaries. It is concluded that in this type of partnerships, the participants sometimes do not share the risks, as would be expected. This is because its development not always reaches the intended objectives, forgetting that a Public-Private Partnerships involves an exchange between the public and the private sector, where the benefits and responsibilities of each participant are shared.

Abstract:

Given the increasing proliferation of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in both developed and developing countries, and the huge challenges that are often associated with establishing and managing them, and ensuring that they achieve their objectives, it is important to understand multiple aspects of their operation. Whilst the structural and economic aspects of PPPs have long been recognised and researched, the relational aspects of PPPs remain under-researched. This thesis is a contribution to addressing this gap in the literature. It uses a dimensional approach to understand the nature of inter-organisations relationships (IORs) in PPPs and considers the factors that shape these relationships. It also investigates whether a particular pattern of relationships is needed for PPPs to deliver more than could have been achieved by each partner working alone (synergistic benefits). These issues are studied empirically in three educational PPP programmes in Pakistan. In two of these, not-for-profit organisations ‘adopt’ state schools. In the third, the state funds private sector schools on the condition that they offer free education to students and achieve threshold quality standards. A case study methodology is used and an integrative conceptual framework, derived from a wide-ranging literature review, is used to guide both data collection and analysis. The research finds that partners’ motives for entering into a PPP play a dominant role in shaping inter-organisational relationships. These motives are, in turn, influenced by a range of contextual and organisational factors. Inter-organisational relationships can be broadly characterised as collaborative, contractual, cooperative or conflictual. Whereas much of the existing literature emphasises that collaborative relationships are a prerequisite for PPPs to deliver synergistic outcomes, this research finds that these outcomes are also present in PPPs characterised by cooperative relationships. However, inter-organisational relationships in PPPs are not static; they develop and change over time. These changes result from a dynamic interplay between contextual factors, organisational factors, partner motives and the perceived outcomes of the partnership. The research reported in the thesis makes a number of contributions to knowledge. It sheds new light on the relational aspects of PPPs and offers a new conceptual framework for explaining and investigating inter-organisational relationships, which integrates insights from the largely separate literatures on PPPs and inter-organisational relations. It counters an apparent pro-collaboration emphasis in the existing PPP literature by documenting and explaining the benefits associated with cooperative relationships. It also offers new empirical evidence on the operation of PPPs in a developing country context, which contributes to redressing the predominance of evidence from developed countries in the existing literature. The insights from the research have theoretical and practical implications for the development and management of PPPs and future research in this area.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There is a rising groundswell of citizens globally questioning the equity, integrity and sustainability of the philosophies, values and institutions inherited from the 20th century. The continuum of civil disobedience has increased over time; sit ins, community unrest, uprisings and finally revolutions have marked this first decade of this new age. People are voicing their disillusionment with increased frequently, impatience and violence globally calling for the creation of a world which, in Freire’s words, is “menos feio, menos malvado, menos desumano [less ugly, less cruel, less inhumane] (Mayo, 2003:42). President Jacob Zuma at the 14th Nedlac Annual Summit in September 2009 called for a “stronger social dialogue underpinned by a sense of cooperation, and responsibility will also be important if we are to avoid a situation where the recovery ends up being business as usual. We need to find new way of doing things” (Zuma, 2009a:1). Social Franchising is a relatively new concept in the service delivery discourse having recently emerged as a sub-sector of social enterprise. Social franchising is a derivative of the long established commercial franchise model with a dual purpose of generating sustainable economic returns and advancing social good by encouraging profit making not profit taking (Mseme, 2010a:1). Social franchising has been mainly operating in the NGO sector, on the Indian sub continent, accommodated in larger private or public health institution, providing women related health services into poor communities. Recent research undertaken by Mseme (2010a) has shown social franchising should be considered as a strategic option in the delivery of public service to improve citizens development, promoting new venture creation and strengthen the developmental state at local level This study seeks to make a contribution to the limited local government body of knowledge by developing an appropriate social franchising governance model. This model aims to accelerate accessible and sustainable public community development services generally and early childhood development in particular at local level by delivering on the two primary national priorities of poverty alleviation and quality education provisioning. This study merges a number of key issues that are substantive in determining the future well being of South Africa and all of her citizens namely; affordable, universal and comprehensive service delivery, equitable quality education and cognitive development of young children and increased economic participation and wealth generation especially in marginalised and vulnerable communities within the context of the developmental state. This study is guided by a postmodernist philosophy and stems from a transformative and emancipatory approach applying Paulo Freire’s pedagogy and politics of hope that is not meant to consolidate “what is” but is driven by a vision of “what should and can be” (Mayo, 2003:42).This research has applied both empirical and non – empirical design with a mixed qualitative and quantitative component. The areas of non –empirical study were determined by the theoretical framework which focuses on developmental state, developmental local government, public service management, partnership service delivery mechanisms, early childhood development and small enterprise development. The research findings arising out of the empirical ECD needs assessment survey and case study were further explored and tested in semi structured interviews with political decision makers, policy makers, policy drafters and policy experts. This study has designed a social franchise governance model for the delivery of ECD at local government level. Its implementation however is premised on a shift of public administration mindset from bureaucracy to innovation, a shift of public policy from government as sole provide to facilitator of services, a shift from survival partnerships to delivery partnerships by desire and a change of citizens attitude from dependency to self development.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Wereldwyd bevraagteken inwoners toenemend die billikheid, integriteit and volhoubaarheid van filosofiee, waardes en wette vanuit die 20ste eeu. Wetteloosheid het toegeneem oor ‘n tydperk. Opstand en eintlik revolusies is kenmerkend in die eerste dekade van die nuwe era. Mense spreek hulle ontnugtering toenemend op ‘n gereelde basis uit, wat uiteindelik aanleiding gee tot ongeduld en geweld. Wereldwyd is mense op soek na ‘n samelewing wat soos Freire dit beskryf “menos feio, menos malvado, menos desumano (minder haatlik en onmenslik) (Mayo, 2003:42). Tydens die 14de NEDLAC Jaarlikse Konferensie gedurende September 2009 het President Jacob Zuma die balangrikheid van sterker sosiale dialoog gegrond op samewerking en verantwoordlikheid beklemtoon ten einde ‘n situasie van besigheid soos gewoonlik te voorkom. Hy het mense aangemoedig om vorendag te kom met nuwe manier om dinge te doen.(Zuma, 2009a:1) Sosiale agentskap is ‘n relatiewe nuwe konsep in die lewering van dienste wat ontstaan het vanuit die sub-sektor sosiale ondernemings. Sosiale agentskap het voortgespruit vanuit die kommersiele agentskaps model met ‘n tweeledige doel naamlik die skepping van volhoubare ekonomiese inkomste en die bevordering van sosiale goedere deur die aanmoediging van die maak van winste en nie die neem van winste nie (Mseme, 2010a:1) . Sosiale agentskappe het primer voorgekom in nie-regerings organisasies, groot privaat of publieke gesondheids instansies en die verskaffing van gesondheids dienste aan vroue in die armer gemeenskappe. Huidige navorsing deur Mseme (2010a) bewys dat sosiale agentskappe oorweeg moet word as ‘n strategiese opsie in die lewering van openbare dienste om die onwikkeling van inwoners te verbeter, om die skepping van nuwe projekte te bevorder sowel as die versterking van die ontwikkelende staat op plaaslike regeringsvlak. Deur die ontwikkeling van ‘n toepaslike sosiale agentskaps bestuurs model beoog die studie om ‘n bydrae te maak tot die beperkte beskikbare inligting oor plaaslike regering. Die model streef daarna om toeganklike volhoubare openbare gemeenskaps onwikkelende dienste in die algemeen te lewer sowel as spesifiek dienste rondom vroee kinder ontwikkeling op plaaslike regerings vlak. Hierdie oogmerk van die model is gebaseer op die nasionale prioriteite van werkskepping en die voorsiening van kwaliteit onderrig. Die studie kombineer ‘n aantal belangrike sleutel dimensies in die bepaling van die voortbestaan van inwoners van Suid-Afrika, naamlik bekostigbaarheid, universele en omvattende dienslewering, gelyke kwaliteit onderrig, die kognitiewe ontwikkeling van jong kinders, toenemende ekonomies deelname, en die ontwikkeling van rykom spesifiek in marginale kwesbare gemeenskappe binne die konteks van ‘n ontwikkelende staat. Die studie is gebaseer op ‘n post-moderne filisofie and spruit voort vanuit ‘n transformerende en moderne benadering deur die toepassing van Paulo Freire’s opvoedkundige aard sowel as politieke hoop wat nie bedoel is om “die wat is” te konsolideer nie, maar wat voort gedryf word vanuit ‘n visie “wat moet en kan gedoen word” (Mayo, 2003:42). Die nie-empiriese studie is gabaseer op ‘n teoretiese raamwerk wat focus op die ontwikkelende staat, ontwikkelende plaaslike regareings, staatsdiens bestuur, ‘n vennootskap dienslewrings meganisme, vroee kinder ontwikkeling and klein sake ondernemings ontwikkeling. Beide empiriese en nie-empiriese ontwerpe is gebruik met ‘n kombinasie van kwalitatiewe and kwantitatiewe komponent. Die bevindinge vanuit die navorsing spruit voort uit die empiriese vroee kinder ontwikkelings behoefte bepalings studie. ‘n Gevalle studie is ook verder gebruik en getoets deur semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude met beleidmakers, en beleids deskundiges. Die studie het ‘n sosiale agentskaps bestuurs model ontwikkel vir die lewering van vroee kinder ontwikkeling op plaaslige regerings vlak. Die implementering van die model is gabaseer op ‘n aantal veranderinge van denkwyses naamlike vanaf publieke administrasie opinie van burokrasie na innovasie, vanaf openbare beleid dat die regering die enigste verskaffer van dienste is na die fasilitering van dienste, vanaf oorlewings vennootskappe na vennootskappe wat gehalte dienste lewer en laaste ‘n verandering van ‘n aghanklikheids houding na self ontwikkeling.

Abstract:

O objetivo do presente trabalho é identificar as principais contribuições internacionais de experiências bem sucedidas em parcerias público-privadas (PPPs) que possam colaborar na sua implementação no Brasil. Caracteriza, exploratoriamente, a utilização de PPPs na Irlanda e no Chile. Optou-se pela Irlanda, pois trata-se de um país integrante de um continente precursor da implementação das PPPs, que conta com uma forte colaboração da comissão européia na prática das PPPs por meio de suas diretrizes. E, também, pelo Chile por ser um país da América do Sul, com necessidade de infra-estrutura, que conta com experiências de sucesso de utilização de PPP, além de aproximar-se economicamente da realidade brasileira. A relevância do assunto é evidenciada em diversas obras consultadas, como: Borges e Neves, 2005; STN, 2004; International Monetary Fund, 2004; Clasen, 2002; Shaoul, 2003; Zhang, 2006; Bradford, 2003; Samii, Wassenhove e Bhattachaya, 2002. Este trabalho possui como método o tipo qualitativo, com objetivo exploratório-descritivo, apresentando uma estratégia com estudo de caso com dados secundários. As informações são concentradas na experiência da Irlanda e do Chile, com a apresentação da utilização das PPPs no setor transportes (rodovias).
The objective of the present work is to identify the main international contributions of parcerias público-privadas (PPPs) of experiences well happened that can collaborate in the implementation of these in Brazil. It is characterizes, an exploratory way, the utilization PPPs projets in Ireland and on Chile. It has opted for Ireland, because this country is part of a precursory continent which implement PPPs, Europe, counting with a strong collaboration of the european commission in practice of PPPs through their guidelines. And also for Chile, a south america country with extreme infrastructure need that counts with experiences of success of use of PPP besides this country approximates economically of brazilian reality. The relevance of the subject is evidenced in several works like: Borges e Neves, 2005; STN, 2004; International Monetary Fund, 2004; Clasen, 2002; Shaoul, 2003; Zhang, 2006; Bradford, 2003; Samii, Wassenhove e Bhattachaya, 2002. This work presents as qualitative method, with exploratory objective, presenting a strategy with case study with secondary data. The information are concentrated in the experience of Ireland and Chile, with the presentation of use of the PPPs in the sector transports (highways).

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Governments have a pivotal role in meeting the ever-increasing demand for socio-economic services in transport, energy, telecommunications, water, education, health and delivery of other social services. However, the major issue in Mauritius is the lapsus in road infrastructure. The road infrastructure agenda in Mauritius needs to be revisited, as such, maintenance has been insufficient to prevent deterioration and there are some other reasons for the damage. Urgent rehabilitation and reconstruction is required to avoid further damage. Factors such as, deficit of funding, absence of coordination between the public and the private sector, changes in political regimes, lack of transparency in the procurement process and lack of adequate legal framework are factors to which the failure of implementing Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Mauritius can be attributed. However, the implementation of PPP might enhance the nature and efficacy of the way in which public money is spent and encourage resilience and competency of the taxation structure. Governments will therefore be apt to consider strategic partnerships in order to promote state-of-the-art technological advancement and enhance managerial skills and capabilities. Reviews discussed by the Government of Mauritius were taken from annual reports and an in-depth study was carried out. Moreover, as secondary analysis differs from systematic reviews and meta-analyses of qualitative studies, which aim instead to compile and assess the evidence relating to a common concern or area of practice, both secondary analysis and meta-analysis have been used. Therefore, this study comprised of a thorough, narrative discussions of research studies which epitomize attempts to make sense of the rapidly expanding research on PPP in Mauritius. From the narrative discussion, it can be highlighted that, controversy arose over the claims for surplus expenses of Rs 709 million on a preliminary agreement of Rs 2.2 billion. Moreover, due to factors such as massive non-alignment between government and private sector, unclear government goals and duties, multifaceted resolution, sectoral policies not well defined, regulatory challenges and limitations, risk management issues, poor reliability of public policies, insufficient local capital markets, poor mechanisms to attract cheaper long term capital, weak lucidity and absence of a competitive landscape, a delay in the implementation of PPP was encountered. However, an emergence in the number of PPPs has been witnessed in developing countries, not only because of their increasingly being viewed as value-for-money but also for the reasons that follow: enhancing the delivery of public sector services at lower costs, integrating protection of the environment by ensuring fulfilment of green requirements and promoting competition. Reviews and extracts show that Mauritius requires financial support to implement PPP projects. However, the availability of international aid has helped the country to gain faith in the implementation of PPP projects thus, helping the Small Island Developing State of Mauritius to look at the future of its development with confidence.

Abstract:

The aim of this final thesis is to analyse and compare the PPP practices of EU member states and to evaluate the current situation of their PPP markets as well as the issues faced at present. The study consists of four chapters. The first chapter deals with the theoretical and legal concept of public-private partnerships: the definition of PPPs, their characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of PPPs and the factors influencing the success of PPP projects. The section thereafter analyses the position and role of the EU, EIB and EBRD in promoting and supporting the implementation of PPP projects. The section is followed by an assessment of the PPP market development trend, high lightening the basic quantitative differences between the EU member states. Chapter four forms the core of this thesis in which, based on specified criteria (legal and institutional PPP conditions, average value of a project, corruption, transparency and the nature of the public sector) the PPP praxis of Great Britain, Italy, Greece, Sweden, Poland and Slovakia are analysed and compared. The states are characterized by national PPP markets of diverse quality as well as significant differences in the national conditions for implementing PPP projects.

Abstract:

Public private partnerships (PPPs) are procurement models used in the provision of public infrastructures and involving private, as opposed to public, finance. The PPP model differs from the traditional public procurement model in this sense and in the unprecedented degree to which the private sector is involved. All things being equal, the rationale for choosing a PPP instead of a traditional public procurement model is if it provides a better Value for Money. As a result, a crucial issue to address is to find the key drivers of Value for Money in PPP projects and most importantly, to analyze the relationships between those key drivers and the complex notion of Value for Money. This study is based on a large overview of the literature together with contributions of informal interviews and my own opinions. Emphasis is put on the importance of risk management from financiers’ perspective and its consequences on Value for Money. The findings highlight the current problems in the Value for Money assessment that make the analysis hardly reliable. Good and bad practices in Value for Money assessment are discussed and potential solutions and guidance toward more Value for Money are provided.

Abstract:

With many countries in Black Africa immersed in external debts and yet others grappling with effects of civil wars and pandemics, social services such as basic education and primary health care pose challenges to them. To mitigate such shortcomings in the region, innovative ways to provide basic education are sought by the private sector. To meet the goals of education for all, national governments fall short of alternatives which gives rise to options like low fee private schools (LFPSs). But these innovative ways which are basically home-grown have got foreign competitors who provide the same basic education services. This thesis does not address the element of competition; rather it explores latest global changes that affect almost all aspects of social life – particularly basic education. This thesis looks at the public-private partnerships (PPPs) in education with low fee private schools (LFPSs) as one of the ‘innovative’ ways of providing basic education; this has had an effect of having entire basic education systems contracted out by national governments in the region. With weak public service systems, how can Black Africa implement PPPs with LFPSs? Using Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis – theory and method as well as operationalised space-times theory by Harvey (1990), this thesis probed PPPs with LFPSs in Liberia. The objectives were to understand the nature of educational reforms advocated in PPPs with LFPSs and to examine the kind of relationship between government and private sector service providers in PPPs with a view of locating the power within such relationships. Another objective was to probe how equitable and inclusive these basic education services provided by PPPs with LFPSs were. The study revealed that PPPs with LFPSs are implicated in denying access to the rural communities, limiting equitable and inclusive education to many social groups like the poor, girls and people with disabilities as well as seeming to undermine national and local governments due to power and ideology.

Abstract:

Magister Artium - MA
Recent years have seen an upsurge of interest from governments and development organisations in adopting the Public Private Partnership (PPP) approach when developing and operating ecotourism projects. A PPP is a contract between a public sector institution and a private party, in which the private party assumes substantial financial, technical and operational risk in the design, financing, building and operation of a project (South African National Treasury 2004). Countries such as India, China and Kenya have developed numerous projects through PPPs. Protected Areas have followed suit in adopting the PPP approach, to be able to focus on their core business, namely conservation. To date, relevant research on PPP ecotourism projects, specifically pro-poor tourism approach is fragmented, limited in scope, and lacks examples that can assist practitioners in embedding pro-poor tourism principles in the PPP methodology. Academically, studies are largely evaluations that compare progress against projects’ defined objectives or broad based sustainable tourism goals. However, this study is an assessment of a tourism development from a pro-poor tourism perspective. Thus, this study interrogated the extent to which ecotourism PPP at De Hoop is pro-poor. Furthermore, the study sought to establish if rural local communities living in and near De Hoop PPP benefit and how their benefits can be enhanced. Pro-poor tourism indicators are used in this study as a theoretical base to evaluate De Hoop PPP.

Abstract:

This research aims to explore the public–private partnership (PPP) phenomenon at the basic education and post-basic education levels in the Sultanate of Oman. Specifically, it identifies the types of existing PPPs and probes different stakeholders’ perspectives of PPPs. It also highlights the challenges that impede the effectiveness of PPPs in the Omani context and identifies approaches to alleviate them. Finally, it suggests a PPP framework for the Omani context. This study employed a case study design with a mixed-strategy approach to elicit data from a range of sources: the public education sector, the private education sector and other sectors. The research used semi-structured interviews, focus groups and documentary analysis as key data collection instruments. The public education sector participants comprised government officials, school principals and supervisors. The private education participants included school owners, school principals and chief executive officers (CEOs). Other participants were drawn from other governmental and non-governmental sectors. A total of four focus groups with 29 participants (six to nine participants in each group) and 32 semi-structured interviews covering participants from the different sectors were conducted. The research findings reveal that a range of PPPs exist in the Omani education context. These however, are predominantly informal and voluntary. They also seem to address financial aspects and rarely tackle key quality aspects such as curricula and learning outcomes. In this study, it transpires that in Oman, PPP is envisaged as a multi-stakeholder approach with reciprocal and long-term benefits rather than relating to privatisation or philanthropy. The research also concludes that PPPs in Oman seem to be challenged chiefly by political and regulatory impediments, as well as some practical barriers related to capacity and evaluation mechanisms. It is hoped that these results, together with the suggested PPP framework, will serve as a guideline for the promotion of public–private collaboration in education, as well as the development of a PPP programme at the basic education and post-basic education levels in Oman.

Mestrado em Ciências Empresariais
Em meados da década de 90 surge um novo conceito designado por Parcerias Público-Privadas (PPPs), que rapidamente se propagou por todo o mundo quer em países desenvolvidos, quer em países em desenvolvimento, onde a união entre o setor público e o setor privado veio potenciar a criação de projetos de novas infraestruturas e a acessibilidade a serviços básicos. No entanto, a sua excessiva utilização e o fracasso de vários projetos suscitaram preocupações a nível da sua criação, entre as quais destacamos a existência de um ambiente institucional desfavorável. Neste âmbito, o presente trabalho de investigação, para além de tentar compreender todo o modelo de concessões/PPP e avaliar o impacto do seu investimento na dívida pública, visa sobretudo, compreender se um ambiente institucional de melhor qualidade estimula a utilização do modelo. Para este fim, procedeu-se a uma análise quantitativa de cariz longitudinal da qual foi possível aferir que os países desenvolvidos tendem a criar e investir mais em concessões/PPPs, tendo o seu investimento impacto na dívida pública dos países, ajudando a controlá-la em casos singulares. Estabelece-se, acima de tudo, uma correlação entre a existência de um ambiente institucional de qualidade e a ocorrência de concessões/PPP.
In the mid-1990s, a new concept of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) emerged, having quickly spread both in developed and in developing countries, where the intersection between public and private sectors favoured the restructuring and/ or development of new infrastructure projects and the access to basic services. Notwithstanding this, the excessive promotion and failure of several projects raised concerns over its creation, namely arising from an unfavourable institutional framework. In this context, the present research work will delve into the PPP concession model, whilst assessing the impact of these investments on public debt. Moreover, it will study how a more positive institutional framework and the adoption of the PPP model interplay. For this purpose, a quantitative, longitudinal analysis was undertaken, which demonstrates how developed countries tend to create and invest more in PPPs, impacting public debt and in some cases helping to control it. More importantly it establishes a correlation between a higher quality institutional framework and the occurrence of PPPs.

Abstract:

Shaoul et al. (2012) state that the accounting, scrutiny and oversight of Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) remain areas of concern. Also, there have been calls for a more socio-technical and multidisciplinary approach to accounting and governance studies (Broadbent, 2012; Broadbent and Guthrie 2008), especially in relation to the empirical study of PPPs (Hodge et al., 2010). This thesis responds to these calls in part by drawing on Giddens’ structuration theory to examine the financial accountability and governance concerns that are created in PPP joint venture structures. The empirical work focuses on the health sector, which is identified as one of the sectors inundated by PPP activities, particularly in the UK (Treasury, 2012; Whitfield, 2010). It adopts a case study approach, based on qualitative methodology, which involves documentary analysis of secondary data and interviews in relation to two PPP schemes under the Local Improvement Finance Trust (LIFT) scheme in the UK’s health sector.The thesis investigates: the extent to which the corporate structures of the LIFT scheme do complicate financial accountability and governance including external scrutiny; the extent to which the LIFT scheme does enhance partnership working between the public and private sector partners; the structures in financial accountability and governance in the LIFT scheme; the human agents that provide agency in financial accountability and governance in the LIFT scheme and; whether and in what ways structures and human agency in financial accountability and governance interact in the LIFT scheme and what the implications are.The thesis finds firstly that the complex corporate structure of the LIFT scheme is very complicated and the joint venture mechanism cannot be relied upon to deliver transparency of reporting. Secondly, as limited companies, all financial reporting follows private sector accounting regulations and Company Law and there is minimal disclosure in terms of information available to the general public. This is worsened by lack of information sharing between partners as evidenced in one case study group. Thirdly, there was considerable inconsistency in the reporting due to multiplicity of interpretive schemas between the two case study groups. Fourthly, there was considerable change in the reporting due both to changes in accounting regulations and changes in organisational structure and interpretive schemas throughout the period. Fifthly, there is lack of continuity of public sector oversight and monitoring as the public sector, in practice, restricts its activities to pre-operational phase and limited oversight after construction phases. Moreover, partnership working is very difficult in the context of profit seeking under the LIFT structure. Partnership working and success of the LIFT scheme may depend on trust, key personalities working together as well as leadership. From the structuration perspective, the study finds structural contradictions and conflicts of interests in financial accountability and governance practices. Therefore, transparency, public accountability, oversight and scrutiny are necessarily undermined and, policy makers should pay attention to not only the private sector technologies but also the manner in which they are used to benefit finance capital.

Transações com parte relacionadas (RPT) é um problema recorrente na maioria das empresas com propriedade compartilhada porque, ao mesmo tempo que pode trazer uma redução significante dos custos de transação, por outro lado apresenta o risco de ser abusada causando perdas para os acionistas minoritários e credores. A Parceria Público Privada (PPP) de infraestrutura, sendo um empreendimento em sociedade, está sujeito a este dilema e, devido à alavancagem proporcionada pelo Project Finance, há inclusive maiores incentivos ao comportamento oportunista. Um exemplo recente, motivando a discussão, é o case da usina hidroelétrica Santo Antônio, que, com um orçamento inicial de R$ 12 bilhões, acabou custando um total de R$ 20 bilhões. O potencial de retorno imediato por expropriação dos custos majoritários, tipo aquisição e construção para o projeto, na maioria das vezes é extremamente superior à exposição do agente oportunista às perdas durante a futura operação da infraestrutura. Neste trabalho é proposto um modelo microeconômico simples para explorar os incentivos subjacentes nos projetos de PPP com o objetivo de encontrar alternativas para mitigar o desalinhamento de incentivos causados por RPT’s nas PPPs. Finalmente, a literatura pesquisada, em conjunto com o modelo proposto, são usados na comparação com dados empíricos mostrando forte evidência de efeitos negativos das RPTs. Em muitas PPPs no Brasil, a presença de grandes construtoras nas holdings dos seus controladores, aliada à pouca experiência dos agentes governamentais e deficiência de recursos na utilização do modelo PPP, criou um ambiente muito desfavorável ao sucesso desses projetos.
The Related Party Transaction (RPT) is a recurring issue in most shared ownership companies because, at the same time, it has the potential to bring significant reduction of transaction costs, on the other hand, presents many pitfalls of being abused to the loss of the minority shareholders and creditors. The infrastructure Public Private Partnership (PPP), being a shared enterprise, is prone to this dilemma and, because project finance is extremely leveraged, there are even stronger incentives for opportunistic behavior. As a recent example to motivate the discussion there is the case of Santo Antonio hydroelectric power generation facility, which had an initial budget of R$ 12 billion and ended up costing a grand total of R$ 20 billion. The potential immediate returns of expropriation from major expenses, such as acquisition and construction for the project, most of the time, far outweighs the opportunist’s exposure to losses in the future operation of the infrastructure. It is proposed a simple microeconomic model for exploring the underlying incentives of PPP projects to help devise options for mitigating the incentive misalignment of RPTs in PPPs. Finally, the literature and the proposed model findings are used to compare with empirical data which has showed strong evidence of negative RPT effects. In many PPPs in Brazil, the presence of big construction firms in the controlling shareholders’ holdings, coupled with the government’s lack of experience and adequate resources to work with the PPP model, created a difficult environment for the financial success of those projects.

Abstract:

A presente tese tem por propósito contribuir para uma política de planejamento no campo da educação a distância (EAD). Para isto concebe uma proposta multi-modelo de referência lastreada na definição de estratégias em espectro de alta complexidade, que considera uma seqüência de procedimentos sistematizados nas seguintes fases: (i) Determinação das necessidades de informação, em duas etapas: (a) identificação dos fatores críticos de sucesso (FCS) e (b) identificação das áreas de informação; (ii) Determinação das competências, em três etapas: (a) determinação dos conhecimentos, (b) determinação das habilidades, e (c) determinação das atitudes; (iii) Determinação dos graus de avaliação de competências; (iv) Determinação das estratégias em redes de conhecimentos. Evidencia-se a aplicação a um estudo de caso nas concessões rodoviárias no Brasil, na perspectiva das parcerias público-privadas (PPPs). A consecução da pesquisa foi por meio da intervenção de especialistas e um grupo pequeno de estudantes de um programa de EAD (MBA) aplicado às PPPs. A coleta de dados foi por meio de um formulário semi-estruturado, do tipo escalar, em uma matriz de julgamento, com a intervenção de especialistas. Vários instrumentos de apoio foram utilizados na elaboração da modelagem, com vistas a reduzir a subjetividade dos resultados alcançados: escalagem psicométrica - Lei dos Julgamentos Categóricos de Thurstone (LJC), Multicriteriais-Compromise Programinng, Electre III, e Promethee II; Análise Multivariada; Krigagem, Redes Neurais Artificiais (RNA); Redes Neurofuzzy. Os resultados produzidos mostraram-se satisfatórios, validando o procedimento proposto para EAD. Procedimento este, fundamental na definição de programas destinados para planejar a capacitação de recursos humanos a distância, bem como para a constituição de outros elementos do capital intelectual em políticas de EAD.
This thesis intends to contribute to the planning guidelines in the field of distance education (DE). Thus, it develops a multi-model reference proposal supported by the definition of a highly complex spectrum of strategies that considers a sequence of systematic procedures in the following phases: (i) Determining the information needs in two stages: (a) identification of the critical success factors (CSF), and (b) identification of the information areas; (ii) Determination of competences in three stages, determining: (a) knowledge, (b) skills, and (c) attitudes; (iii) Determination of the degree of competence evaluation; and (iv) Determination of strategies in knowledge networks. There is the application to a case study of the road concessions in Brazil, within the perspective of public-private partnerships (PPPs). The research was achieved through the intervention of specialists and a small group of students from a DE program (MBA) applied to the PPPs. The data collection was conducted by means of a semi-structured form, the scalar type in a trial matrix, to which experts ascribed their assessments. Several support instruments were used in the modeling elaboration in order to reduce subjectivity in the results: psychometric scales - Thurstones Law of Comparative Judgment (LCJ), Multi-criteria Compromise Programming, Electre III, and Promethee II; Multivariate Analysis; Krigage, Artificial Neural Networking (ANN); Neuro-fuzzy networks. The results produced are satisfactory, validating the proposed procedure for DE. This is an essential procedure for the definition of programs designed to plan the training of human resources at a distance, as well as to establish other elements of intellectual capital for DE guidelines.

School Infrastructure Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are being increasingly used over the globe. However, the literature that analyzes the role and impact of PPP models in education is still incipient. The present study aims to contribute to the literature investigating the impact of a school infrastructure PPP contract used in municipal schools in Belo Horizonte. The methodology was based in the comparison of 46 schools under two models, being 27 schools under a PPP model and 19 schools built and operated under traditional public procurement model. The results show that the time to build schools under the PPP Model is 45% shorter and that 79% of the schools under traditional model were delivered out of the contracted term of 13 months, while all PPP units were delivered below this time. In the same vain, the satisfaction level regarding maintenance services is substantially higher under PPP than under traditional model. Specifically in relation to IT services it was not observed positive results for PPPs. Finally, principals in PPP schools have 25% more time to focus on pedagogical activities, as they spend less time with the management of non- pedagogical services. One limitation of this study is not to provide a comparative analysis between the two models in terms of costs. This study aims to contribute to the improvement of PPP regulatory models used in the education and to the discussion of the role that could be played by PPPs in the reduction of school infrastructure deficit.
As Parcerias Público-Privadas (PPP) de infraestrutura escolar são cada vez mais utilizadas no mundo, entretanto as avaliações de impacto desse modelo ainda são escassas. O presente estudo contribui para essa área do conhecimento ao avaliar o impacto da utilização de PPP tanto na construção como na operação das Unidades Municipais de Educação Infantil (UMEIs) de Belo Horizonte (BH). A metodologia de pesquisa foi baseada na comparação de 46 UMEIs, sendo 27 unidades de PPP e 19 unidades construídas e operadas no modelo tradicional de contratação pública. Em relação ao impacto na construção, os principais resultados são que o tempo de obra das unidades de PPP foi 45% menor e que 79% das unidades tradicionais foram entregues fora do prazo contratado de 13 meses, enquanto que nenhuma PPP foi entregue acima deste prazo. Além disso, a PPP permitiu aumentar a escala na construção das UMEIs, superando as limitações do modelo tradicional. Dentre as principais evidências encontradas quanto ao impacto na operação, pode-se citar que os diretores de unidades de PPP afirmam ter 25% mais tempo para focar nas atividades pedagógicas, pois gastam menos tempo na gestão dos serviços não pedagógicos, e que o grau de satisfação com os serviços de manutenção das instalações físicas é substancialmente maior nessas unidades. Os resultados positivos para PPP só não apareceram em relação aos serviços de manutenção de TI. Uma limitação deste trabalho foi não conseguir realizar a comparação de custos das duas modalidades. O estudo pretende contribuir para o aprimoramento dos modelos regulatórios de PPPs em educação e para a discussão sobre o papel que pode ser desempenhado pelas PPPs na redução do déficit de infraestrutura escolar.

Abstract:

The dissertation thesis provides a comparison of approaches to the audit - compliance audit, performance audit and financial audit, on example of PPP project. The fact that the border between both parties of PPP project can not be generally defined provides space for the comparison of audit in the public and private sector. The topicality of the theme is given the fiscal problems not only in European countries, where most countries are looking for a way of extending the budget constraint to private sector engagement in the form of PPP projects. Therefore, PPP projects in the world are increasingly popular form of financing. Each includes every new minister of finance includes PPP projects as a possible source of budget. PPP projects, however, represent a huge, long-term investment, that large amounts of money are invested over long time periods. Large fiscal risk would occur in the corrupt environment, with a real threat of government failure, where the supplier has better information through a quasi-monopoly position and large fiscal risks. This risk persists many years and is associated with the provision of large state guarantees in an uncertain economic and societal benefit, taking place to constrain the budget for future generations. PPP project can be agreed only if resources are used efficiently in accordance with societal consensus and the pace of economic growth and public revenue consistently exceeds the real interest rate on public debt. Therefore, PPP projects in the world are increasingly popular form of financing.The fact that this form of financing should be transparent among other things, regularly audited.

Abstract:

In seeking to establish and maintain a quality relationship and optimise performance, partners in long-term inter-organisational partnerships must choose which of the available governance strategies and control strategies to use in managing their partnership. Despite literature reporting that governance and control strategy mechanism choices will affect partnership performance this literature is silent about the relationship between these strategies and the impact of their mechanism choices on the quality of their relationship. To address these shortcomings, this study examined the use of governance and control strategies in bilateral long-term inter-organisational partnerships. Two conceptual models were developed and operationalised. Measurement items were mainly borrowed from existing research and contextualised and adapted from this study. One new scale (financial performance) was developed based on expert comments in the exploratory research phase. Prior to issue of the self-completion questionnaire, telephone contact was made to identify those with direct partnership management responsibility in the public and private sectors. On identification the nature of the study was explained and confirmation of a willingness to participate sought. Only those who agreed to participate were sent the questionnaire. Local Authority Private Finance Initiative projects were used as the research setting and this produced a sample size of 211. Of the 113 people who agreed to participate, 64 completed and returned a questionnaire. The overall return rate was 29% with 29% of the public sector and 29% of the private sector participants responding. Partial Least Squares (PLS) was used to test the high level research and lower level operational model structures and hypothesised casual pathways. Despite both the research and operational models demonstrated r[sup]2 and Goodness of Fit results. Both model results were tested for reliability and validity with all constructs meeting widely accepted physchometric benchmarks. The findings from both models are reported and debated. As with all studies, there are a number of limitations. These include possible limits to the genralisability given the very specific type of partnership from which the data is drawn. In carrying out a cross-sectional study the benefits associated with a longitudinal study have been forsaken and it would be very helpful to understand if the passage of time impacts on governance and control strategy choices. Similarly, the absence of control variables means it is not possible to understand whether more experienced partnership mangers employ a different approach to their less experienced counterparts in the management of their partnerships. The findings provide an original contribution to academia through an evaluation of the role of governance strategy, control strategy and relationship quality in the management of long-term inter-organisational partnerships. These confirm that integrated governance strategy is a significant determinant for integrated control strategy and that integrated givernance and integrated control strategy are both significant determinants for relationship quality. Relationship quality has been found to link governance and control strategy to performance, confirming its mediating role in maximising performance outcomes. The major contribution to business practice is the development of normative guidelines that support informed decisions about how the partnership should be managed to optimise performance. Specifically the guidelines promote that governance strategy, control strategy and relationship quality should be treated as three interdependent elements of an integrated partnership management framework. This implies that those exploring new partnerships and those in existing partnerships should design their governance and control strategies to capitalise on those mechanisms that act in a complementary and reinforcing manner to strengthen the quality of their relationship and in turn optimise performance.

Abstract:

A public private partnership is an alternative to procurement of the facility by the public sector, using funding from tax revenues or public borrowing. In a typical public sector procurement, the public authority sets out the specifications and design of the facility, calls for bids on the basis if this detailed design, and pays for construction of the facility by a private sector contractor. The public authority has to fund the full cost of construction, including cost overruns. Operation and maintenance of the facility are handled by the public authority and the contractor takes no responsibility for the long term performance of the facility after the construction warranty period has expired. In a public private partnership, on the other hand, the authority specifies its requirements in terms of outputs, which set out the public services which the facility is intended to provide, but which do not specify how these are to be provided. It is then left to the private sector to design, finance, build and operate the facility to meet the longterm output specifications. The project company receives payments over the life of the PPP contract, which are supposed to repay the financing costs and give a return to investors. The payments are subject to deductions for failure to meet output specifications, and there is no extra allowance for cost overruns which happen during construction or in operation of the facility.

Abstract:

Abstract This thesis increases the understanding of public-private partnerships (PPPs) by examining their development in a centralized public procurement context. The thesis discusses on how the actors in centralized public procurement participate in the development of PPPs and what drives and challenges the actors to transit from traditional transactional arm’s length tendering to partnership thinking in public procurement. The PPP research is integrated into the research stream of Industrial Marketing and Purchasing (IMP) and the interaction approach to recognize PPPs as socially constructed during the public procurement process. The triadic approach is applied to regard PPP development as dynamic and examine the relationship dynamics between the three actors of centralized public procurement. The empirical setting of the thesis rests on a qualitative case study design using two cases. It analyzes PPP development in a standardized product procurement of food and a more diversified service procurement of home nursing. The empirical data is primarily acquired through qualitative interviews, which are supported by information from written documents and seminars on procurement regulations and procedures. The thesis shows that the development of PPPs in the context of centralized public procurement is an ongoing and dynamic process, in which the three actors actively participate by initiating, building, and facilitating the development process. The thesis further finds that cooperative interaction contributes to PPP development by increasing knowledge exchange and promoting the transition from transactional procurement logic to partnering in public procurement. The procurement type and the network in which the PPP is embedded influence the process by reflecting the actors’ ways of participating in the process and how trust is built between them. The thesis further shows how relationship dynamics influence the process in the triadic setting; that is, the procurement logic of a single actor or the logic underlying the relationship of two actors engender and intensify the problems or promote the partnership thinking in the triad. The findings of this thesis aid managers to identify how they can proactively foster the development of PPPs in centralized public procurement, and identify the influence of relationship dynamics on the process
Tiivistelmä Tässä väitöskirjassa keskitytään julkisten ja yksityisten organisaatioiden välisten kumppanuussuhteiden kehittämiseen keskitetyssä julkisessa hankintakontekstissa. Tutkimus tarkastelee sitä, kuinka keskitetyn hankintakontekstin kolme eri toimijaa osallistuvat suhteen kehittämiseen ja sitä, mikä edistää ja haittaa heidän siirtymistä perinteisestä transaktionaalisesta kilpailutuksesta kohti kumppanuutta. Tutkimus yhdistää julkisten ja yksityisten organisaatioiden välistä kumppanuutta käsittelevää kirjallisuutta teollisen markkinoinnin ja ostamisen tutkimukseen sekä erityisesti vuorovaikutusnäkökulmaan, koska kumppanuus ymmärretään työssä sosiaalisena ja vuorovaikutteisena prosessina, joka kehittyy hankintaprosessissa. Työ hyödyntää myös triadia näkökulmaa kolmen toimijan välisen kumppanuuden dynamiikkojen tutkimiseksi. Tutkimuksessa toteutettiin laadullinen kahden tapauksen tapaustutkimus, jossa kumppanuuden kehittämistä analysoitiin standardoidussa ruokatuotehankinnassa ja kotihoidon palveluhankinnassa. Työn aineisto on kerätty haastatteluiden kautta, ja sitä on tuettu kirjallisten dokumenttien ja julkisen hankinnan seminaarien kautta kerätyn tiedon kautta. Tutkimuksessa esitetään, että julkisten ja yksityisten organisaatioiden välisten kumppanuussuhteiden kehittäminen keskitetyssä hankintaprosessissa on jatkuva ja dynaaminen prosessi, johon kolme toimijaa osallistuvat aktiivisesti käynnistämällä, luomalla tai tukemalla prosessia. Työssä tunnistetaan myös, että yhteistyöllinen vuorovaikutus edistää kumppanuutta lisäämällä tiedon vaihdantaa ja tukemalla toimijoiden siirtymistä perinteisestä transaktionaalisesta hankinta-logiikasta kohti kumppanuutta. Hankintatyyppi ja laajempi verkosto, johon suhde on kytkeytynyt, vaikuttavat siihen, kuinka toimijat osallistuvat kumppanuuden kehittämiseen ja kuinka luottamus siinä syntyy. Tutkimus havainnollistaa myös kumppanuuden kehittämisen dynamiikkaa triadissa suhteessa. Yhden toimijan tai kahden toimijan välisten ongelmien huomattiin synnyttävän ja voimistavan ongelmien kehittymistä kaikkien kolmen toimijan välillä ja toisin päin; yhden toimijan tai kahden toimijan välinen kumppanuus vahvistaa kumppanuutta triadissa. Tutkimus tarjoaa yritysjohdolle tietoa siitä, kuinka kumppanuutta voi vahvistaa keskitetyssä julkisessa hankinnassa ja siitä, kuinka tunnistaa prosessiin vaikuttavia dynamiikkoja

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2002.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 119-123).
This thesis started with a search for an expanded framework of urban design and an observation on the way projects were implemented and how downtowns revitalize themselves. The search showed that the expanded framework of urban design should be thought of as both a product and a process. As a product, urban design addresses the urban environment's hardware (the physical attributes and characteristics) and software (the social and perceptual experience of places). As a process, urban design consists of the design and management aspects. To design is to formulate and develop plans and schemes of actions. To manage is to facilitate the outcomes and ensure that they are well kept and would last. The observation on project implementation revealed that successful urban developments require both a good design mechanism and a good management mechanism. A successful development would result in an increase of activities for the area; it can be measured using pedestrian counts, number of new businesses, retail sales, etc. The good design mechanism is the urban design plans that are used to formulate, execute and regulate the hardware and software of urban environments. The good management mechanism is provided by institutions that could develop and market an area or the city itself (including events and activities), manage spaces and places and provide services to the downtown. A look at how most downtowns have responded to the changing needs showed that downtowns are looking at institutional arrangements that embodied public-private partnerships to carry out developments and redevelopment plans, to revitalize themselves and promote growth and to compete with each other and the suburbs. The examples are the business improvement districts (BIDs), downtown associations/alliances, and city center corporations. These institutional setups bridge the interest and needs of the public and private sectors, allow stakeholders in the downtown to work together to shape and create the desired urban environment, and allow the city to market itself as an entire area or a combination of small areas to compete for the share of residents, employment and revenues.

Abstract:

Doctor of Philosophy
Public private partnerships [PPPs] are a product of policies and processes to modernise the delivery of infrastructure-based services. An examination of the modernisation literature establishes the broad analytical frame within which this thesis investigates PPPs. The macro-level overview of the recent transformation of the Australian public sector confirms that the dominant principles underlying modernisation are grounded in new institutional economics [NIE] that are implemented through private-sector derived accounting and management implementation technologies. It highlights the contextual complexities stemming from Australia’s federal system of government, explaining the decision to focus on investigating PPP experiences in Victoria. At the conceptual level, PPPs rely on risk management and modernisation of service delivery to achieve value for money [VFM] for governments. In Victoria, 2000 signals a change in the modernisation role of PPPs. Thereafter, risk inherent in PPPs was reduced by excluding the contractor from the delivery of core social services. Also, the state began to develop a number of PPP policies to guide, aid, control and rationalise decision making in the pre-contracting stage, and to clarify objectives. Analysis of PPP contracts and the failure of one pre-2000 PPP hospital project are illustrative of the controversies identified in the literature about ‘hidden’ aims, the role of technologies designed provide ‘objective’ evidence of VFM inherent in PPPs at the time of contracting, and the ‘fallacy’ of risk transfer to private contractors. An examination of prison contracts indicates the changing nature of the management and control of PPPs in the execution stage. Analysis of pre-2000 prison contracts reveals that these projects were intended to drive significant financial and nonfinancial modernisation reforms throughout the correctional services system. Despite problems with contractual specification of performance and payment mechanisms, and the failure of one of the three pre-2000 prisons, recent evidence suggests, contrary to conclusions in the previous literature, that sector-wide modernisation objectives are being achieved in PPP prisons. PPPs have been criticised on the grounds that they enable governments to avoid accountability for service provision. A survey of the extent, focus and characteristics of the performance audit of PPPs confirms that little PPP auditing has been undertaken in Australia per se, and also that much of the performance auditing has focused on examining adherence to mandated procedures in the pre-contracting stage. However, this thesis demonstrates that the Victorian government has undertaken significant evaluation of the operation of its pre-2000 PPP prisons, and that its thinking and policy development reflect lessons learnt. The evidence presented in this thesis challenges findings in the previous literature that modernisation has delivered less than promised. This thesis confirms the potency of longitudinal research to investigate outcomes of what is essentially an iterative process of reform and that ‘successful’ implementation of modernisation change is sensitive to the context to be reformed. In finding that the presence of goodwill trust is critical to the implementation of recent modernisation reform in the correctional services sector (including in the PPP prisons), this thesis also confirms recent critiques of the power of NIE theories to explain contracting practices in the PPP setting.

Abstract:

The overarching purpose of this study is to examine the role of the corporation as it expresses itself in a public-private partnership in development cooperation. The research purpose is expressed in the overarching research question: How does the role of the corporation express itself in a PPP in development cooperation? A further purpose of this essay is also to define the characteristics of a successful public-private partnership. Due to limited time and resources the study will be based on the empirical material from a case study on the Growing Sustainable Business initiative of UNDP. Three Swedish corporations participated in this program: ABB, Tetra Pak, and Ericsson. Through studies of ABB and Tetra Pak the essay sets out to answer the empirical research questions: (1) What is considered to be a successful PPP from the Swedish experience? And (2) How does the Swedish experience match the model (of a PPP) presented in the theoretical literature?

Stakeholder theory and the theory of corporate social responsibility will be used to explain the role of corporations in public-private partnerships in the context of development cooperation. Public-private partnerships in their theoretical conceptualization are hybrid organization between the state, the market and in some cases also civil society. In order to evaluate the success of such constellations this study draws on an article of Faranak Miraftab, in which not only the effectiveness but also the equity of a PPP is discussed. The material for this study was based on primary sources in the form of interviews conducted with ABB, Tetra Pak, and Sida.

Theoretically, the study shows that an increased legitimate power for the corporation comes with a PPP. However, in order for the PPP to be successful for all partners there is a need for increased governmental regulation. The success of a PPP also depends on the behavior of the corporation, and what its interests are. The conclusions drawn from the empirical study is that the role of the corporation changes from the traditional role of shareholder interest to a wider responsibility towards stakeholders. The study can be seen as an initial study for further research in the field of PPPs and development cooperation, but also for studies relating to the responsibilities of corporations as they gain greater political influence.

Abstract:

This research is a review of public-private partnerships (henceforth called PPPs) in the Thai criminal justice system. This evaluated the PPPs programmes in the Thai criminal justice system by looking at outcomes and impacts of PP Ps initiatives. It also compared state and private provision when the public and private sectors provide the same type of justice service delivery. This study was based on evidence fi:om examples of PP Ps that were seen as key to the implementation of privatisation in a number of Thai justice agencies. They are: 1) the private policing scheme of the Metropolitan Police Bureau (MPB) called 'the Safety Zone Project' which is the promotion of community safety by private security provision in public space; 2) the two different models of private aftercare service. The frrst one was set up to act as a proxy agent on behalf of the Prison Service Department (PSD). The second was the use of private partners in collaboration to help fulfil the aftercare responsibility for the Department of Probation (DP) where the official aftercare unit of the public sector was not available; and 3) the formal establishment of private sector management in an official juvenile institution of the Depmiment of Juvenile Observation and Protection (DJOP). With regard to different nature and background of each PPPs programme, multimethod research designs were selected with a mix of quantitative and qualitative approaches. They are: outcome studies from performance indicators; questionnaire survey; cost-outcome analysis; documentary analysis; interview; and observation. PPPs in the Thai criminal justice context is useful in the senses that: this gives an opportunity to startup a necessary service in an area where the public sector function has not been created for; it helps expanding social services without expanding government administrative apparatus; it can be introduced as a test if the prospect of Success is not clearly known beforehand; and it can provide a wider range of or additional services than those provided by the public sector alone. In addition, private operation in all PPPs schemes is non-commercial, so they made less concern about profitability. T~is study provides evidence to show that PPPs programmes are able to generate a WIde acceptance in the criminal justice community. However, there are some concerns about inequality, legitimacy, sponsors' sanction, professionalism, and proper safeguard to clients.

Abstract:

Public-private partnerships have become an important aspect of public administration theory and practice both in the United States and internationally. The National Archives and Records Administration, in partnership with private support foundations, administers 13 individual presidential libraries that make up the Presidential Library System. These privately constructed, publicly supported archives not only preserve official presidential records, but through their museum displays, also offer visitors a glimpse into the life and times of specific presidents. Although many consider these partnerships vital for the continued success of the Presidential Library System, relatively little is known about them. This qualitative case study explores the nature and extent of the public-private partnerships in the Presidential Library System, focusing on libraries established following the Presidential Records Act of 1978. Key themes related to the nature of these simultaneously mandated and voluntary relationships are their informal governance, decentralized administration, and increased reliance on private resources. This research has implications for both theory and practice of public-private partnerships in general as well as those supporting sites of collective memory such as archives, museums, monuments, and memorials.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This assignment deals with the relevance of Public-Private Partnerships in the South African context and particularly the role it can play in realising the developmental goals of the economic policy. The value of the unique relationship that is possible between the public and the private partner goes beyond the formalised legal agreement as the mix of cultures and different managerial approaches hold benefits for both parties. There are many aspects of the PPP, especially as a management tool, which grow beyond the boundaries of a work of this length and which will hopefully entice the reader to further reading. However, in this work the main thrust of the argument is that the PPP offers an alternative, or maybe rather a supplementary vehicle to address a number of managerial problems experienced in the public sector.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie werkstuk handel met die relevansie van die sogenaamde “Public-Private Partnership” in die Suid-Afrikaanse konteks en meer spesifiek die rol wat dit kan speel om die ontwikkelingsdoelwitte van die ekonomie te bereik. Die waarde van die unieke verhouding wat moontlik is tussen die publieke en die private party venoot verder as die formele regsverhouding aangesien die vermenging van die kulture en verskillende bestuurstyle voordele vir beide partye inhou. Daar is vele aspekte van die PPP, veral as ‘n bestuursmeganisme, wat buite die grense van ‘n werk van hierdie lengte gaan en hopelik word die leser gestimuleer om verder oor die onderwerp op te lees. Die vertrekpunt van hierdie werk egter is dat die PPP ‘n alternatiewe, of selfs ‘n bykomende meganisme om verskeie bestuursprobleme wat in die publieke sektor ervaar word, aan te spreek.

Abstract:

Öffentlich-private Partnerschaften oder Public Private Partnerships (PPP) werden seit Mitte der Neunziger Jahre des letzten Jahrhunderts in allen westeuropäischen Ländern umgesetzt. Dieses Modell der alternativen Leistungserbringung wurde mit erstaunlicher Geschwindigkeit, sektorenübergreifend und flächendeckend implementiert. Verschiedene Autoren haben den Ansatz der Netzwerk-Gesellschaft mit der Entstehung des Phänomens PPP in Verbindung gebracht. An diesem Punkt setzt diese Arbeit an: Es wird untersucht, ob Policy-Netzwerke in der Europäischen Union existierten, die die Entwicklung der staatlichen Leistungserbringung zu Public Private Partnerships forciert haben, bzw. das Thema PPP auf die Agenda setzten und weitergehend wer die relevanten Akteure sind, in welcher Konstellation diese stehen und wie sie vernetzt sind. Wenn ein derartiges Policy-Netzwerk auf europäischer Ebene existieren sollte, soll des Weiteren analysiert werden, um was für eine Art von Policy-Netzwerk es sich nach der Policy-Netzwerk-Typologie handelt. Abschließend werden die Implikationen und Effekte dieses Netzwerkes in Hinblick auf faire Zugangsmöglichkeiten, Transparenz und Wirtschaftlichkeit von Public Private Partnerships erörtert.

Abstract:

In recent decades, public-private partnerships has converted in an alternative way of providing transport infrastructures that has been traditional delivered by public sector. Between 1990 and 2017, governments all over the world have awarded more than 1600 PPPs transport infrastructure. However, there are some aspects that affect public-private partnerships that has not been analyzed and which could facilitate the study of their economic impact. This Thesis analyses public-private partnerships in road infrastructures. The context for the analysis is Spain, both because of its pioneering nature in the extension of such public-private partnerships and because of the undisputed weight of the road infrastructure industry in the international context. The thesis is structured in five chapters. The first chapter is the introduction and examines the role of PPPs in road infrastructures and the road PPPs in Spain’s toll motorways. The second chapter is divided into two sections. The first part of the chapter analyze whether the allocation of risks that has been carried out in Spain and other countries complies with the predictions of contract theory. To this end, the framework of institutional and economic relations between the state and private concessionaires is reviewed in detail. The purpose of this case analysis is to identify the main limitations of these models and to delineate those aspects that have a significant influence on the incentives of the different parties, the efficiency of the contract, the financial evolution of the concession and its impact on public finances, taxpayers and users. Additionally, good regulatory practices are suggested in the concession business, which make it possible to take advantage of the benefits that private participation in road infrastructure projects can bring. The second part of the chapter examines whether the financial downturn experienced by most concessions awarded at the beginning of the new millennium can be attributed to Spain’s particular model of risk sharing and guarantees. This analysis intends to shed light on the debate on possible solutions to the crisis in the sector. Chapter third quantify and evaluate the social and distributive impact of one of the last political renegotiations, which took place in 1997 between the state and the concessionary in Spain. Specifically, the case of the renegotiation of the concession contracts for the AP-7 motorway in its sections between Tarragona-Valencia and Valencia-Alicante is illustrated. In order to carry out this study, the change in well- being resulting from the renegotiations has been calculated. This approximation allows us to compare the real status quo situation with renegotiation, with the alternative that would have been not to renegotiate and delimit the monetary impact of such renegotiations for each of the agents involved and for the added social well- being. The fourth chapter analyses whether the type of management on high-capacity roads has any impact on road safety. We use the Spanish case as an analysis model. Spain’s mixed composition of high-capacity roads is an excellent opportunity to empirically test whether private road management through PPP contracts offers better quality than traditional provision. To this end, we apply different econometric techniques based on tallying data on a data panel for the period 2008-2012. Lastly, chapter five extracts the most important conclusions from the previous chapters and provide some public policy recommendations based on them.

Mestrado em FInanças
O objetivo desta dissertação é estudar os benefícios-sombra, no caso das PPP Portuguesas. Os benefícios-sombra podem ser definidos como benefícios financeiros que não são contratualmente considerados no caso base e que potencializam o parceiro privado a aumentar a rentabilidade, sem qualquer contrapartida para o Estado (Tribunal de Contas, 2008). Em Portugal, o tema sobre os benefícios-sombra das concessionárias de PPPs tem sido controverso. A literatura económica sobre os benefícios-sombra é praticamente ausente. Esta dissertação tem dois estudos subjacentes. Primeiro, foram identificados os benefícios-sombra presentes nos 36 relatórios da DGTF, em setores como o das Estradas, Ferroviário, Segurança e Saúde. A recolha de dados permitiu concluir o número de benefícios-sombra por PPP e também por tipo de benefício. Em segundo lugar, análise dos ganhos e perdas dos contratos de financiamento das concessionárias. No caso em que não existem contratos swap, o beneficiário será a concessionária. Caso contrário, o beneficiário é o banco. O problema identificado foi que a DGTF não considerou os ganhos deste segundo ponto como benefícios-sombra. Este estudo permitiu concluir como o risco financeiro foi alocado, quais foram os resultados produzidos entre 2007-2012 e, finalmente, que valor têm os benefícios identificados.
This master thesis aims to study the shadow-benefits in the Portuguese PPPs case. The shadow-benefits can be defined as financial benefits that are not contractually considered in the base case, which potentiate the private partner to increase profitability without any counterpart to the State (Tribunal de Contas, 2008). In Portugal, the theme concerning the shadow-benefits of the PPPs has been controversial. The economic literature about the shadow-benefits is practically absent. This dissertation has two underlying analysis. First, the shadow-benefits presented in the 36 reports of DGTF which were identified in sectors such as roads, railway, security and health. Through these reports, the data collected led to the conclusion of the number of shadow-benefits by PPPs and also the type of benefit. Secondly, the analysis of gains or losses of the financing contracts. In this case, there are two possible scenarios: when there are no swap contracts, whose beneficiary is the concessionaire and when there are swap contracts, whose beneficiary is the bank. The existent problem is that the DGTF did not consider the gains of this second point as shadow-benefits. This analysis led to the conclusion of how the financial risk was allocated, which were the results produced from 2007-2012 and finally, which value the identified benefits have.

Abstract:

Doutoramento em Gestão
Infrastructure investments are essential to achieve economic prosperity, promoting growth and enhancing well-being. Any infrastructure project is a long-term and complex project, par¬ticularly due to the specific nature of the assets and because it involves numerous stakeholders with different interests and objectives. In such conditions, uncertainty and risks are emphasized. Financing infrastructure is particularly challenging given the amount of funds required that are mostly sunk costs. An attractive mechanism, in the governments' perspective, is to use Public Private Partnerships (PPP) and Project Finance techniques. Multilateral Development Banks (MDB) assume an important role on the raise of funds. Besides their primary lending function, another relevant role emerges - risk reduction. Public entities encourage private sector involvement in infrastructure particularly through PPP. These partnerships are used to reduce the infrastructure gap and accelerating the delivery of public assets and services with clear advantages over traditional methods of procurement. Theoretically, economic reasons may be presented supporting PPP. Portugal has a long history using PPP but there are very few papers on the field. In this dissertation, the Portuguese experience is presented with a focus on five projects. In addition, a model to access the relative operational performance of the SCUT concessions is developed using Data Envelopment Analysis. PPP are particularly relevant to developing and emerging countries where the less stable environment emphasizes risks. Different country's risk factors affect PPP arrangements, condi¬tioning the investments intensity and the participation of the private agents, as well as, of MDB. To explore these issues, an empirical analysis is performed using PPP data from 1990-2007. The results indicate the dominance of the economic conditions and of the legal framework, to ex¬plain the agents' participation in PPP and, MDB' participation is higher for riskier countries, confirming the mechanism of risk reduction.

The use of public-private partnerships is a growing trend in the United States. However, these arrangements\' job creation abilities have not fully been studied. The nature of these arrangements allows for a wide variety of organizational structures. This thesis analyzes differing public-private partnership models for their job creation efficiency. The characteristics present in these arrangements are discussed. This thesis is a multiple-case study of three distinct public-private partnerships for higher education infrastructure. The three cases presented are Clemson University\'s International Center for Automotive Research, the University of Washington\'s South Lake Union Medical Research Complex, and Louisiana State University\'s Digital Media Center. The findings of this thesis are that public-private partnership models with substantial upfront non-public investment can create jobs more efficiently from the public sector\'s perspective. The public-private partnership models that create jobs more efficiently have the characteristics of stability, capacity, and collaboration.

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2011
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Public-Private Partnership (PPP) is a popular instrument for public service delivery. It is important that public managers will be able to recognize when a PPP would be an appropriate service delivery option, and will be able to maximize a PPP‘s chances of success when it is the chosen service delivery instrument. The research question addressed in this dissertation is: ―What are the critical factors that can be replicated that separate successful PPPs from PPPs that do not deliver or that collapse? In this dissertation critical success factors for PPPs are identified through a step-by-step process in which different sources of success factors are analysed and where successively identified sets of success factors are compared and combined in a repetitive layered process of synthesis. A list of success factors is created and expanded through an iterative process of evaluation, removal of duplications, combination of related success factors and listing of unique success factors. Success factors are found in literature while describing the PPP concept and partnership mechanics and management. Success factors are identified in partnership literature, in public governance literature, in private sector collaboration literature, in entrepreneurial studies and in a collection of perspectives on success. These perspectives include those of stakeholders, of private operators, of the third sector as well as perspectives from disciplines and knowledge and practice frameworks such as project management, corporate governance, enterprise risk management and organisational design. Additional success factors are identified in a discussion on the evaluation of partnerships, where it is shown that success factors can be derived from evaluation based on characterization, from partnership definitions, from the perspective of programme evaluation, from measuring the performance of business improvement districts, from alternating focus partnership evaluation (sector by sector, theme-based, local-level) and from service delivery evaluation. The evaluation of partnership examples also provides insight into success factors. The final filtering and synthesis of evidence uses the results of questionnaires, from which success factors are derived, to conduct a final distillation and produce the final list of success factors identified. A total of 466 individual success factors are identified in this dissertation, these factors are grouped into 43 distinct categories. The two most critical success factors for PPPs are identified as firstly delivering a publicly needed service and secondly achieving the objectives of the partnership. The answer to the research question described above is that critically, two conditions must be met to make a PPP successful, and that is that the goals of the PPP must be achieved and that a public need must be satisfied. There are many additional success factors which can further define success and degrees of success, all of which are descriptions of desired conditions from the perspective of stakeholders. The exploratory and hypothesis-generating study culminates in a hypothesis that states that if public managers are faced with a choice of service delivery options, and the use of a PPP is one option, and if the manager applies the categories of recommended critical success factors identified in this dissertation, the manager will be able to determine whether a PPP would be an appropriate service delivery vehicle, and furthermore, if PPP is chosen as service delivery vehicle, the public manager would, through the application of the success factors identified in this dissertation, have a greater chance of successful implementation of the PPP through purposeful collaboration. The study contributes to the public management body of knowledge by covering new ground in terms of the evaluation and management of public-private partnerships.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Publiek-Privaat Vennootskappe (PPVe) is 'n gewilde instrument vir die lewering van openbare dienste. Dit is belangrik dat openbare bestuurders sal weet wanneer 'n PPV 'n goeie opsie sal wees vir openbare dienslewering en hoe om 'n PPV se geleentheid vir sukses te verhoog as dit die gekose dienslewerings-instrument is. Die navorsings-vraag wat in hierdie proefskrif aangespreek word is: Wat is die kritieke sukses-faktore wat gerepliseer kan word wat suksesvolle PPVe onderskei van PPVe wat nie presteer nie of wat ineenstort? In hierdie proefskrif word kritieke suksesfaktore vir PPVe geïdentifiseer deur 'n stap-vir-stap proses waardeur verskillende bronne van suksesfaktore ge-analiseer word en agtereenvolgende stelle van suksesfaktore vergelyk en gekombineer word in 'n herhalende, gelaagde proses van sintese. 'n Lys van suksesfaktore word geskep en uitgebrei deur ‗n iteratiewe proses van evaluasie, die verwydering van herhalings, die kombinasie van verwante faktore en die lys van unieke faktore. Suksesfaktore word gevind in literatuur terwyl die PPV konsep en vennootskap meganismes en -bestuur beskryf word. Suksesfaktore word geïdentifiseer in vennootskap literatuur, in openbare bestuur literatuur, in privaatsektor samewerkingsliteratuur, in entrepeneur studies en in 'n versameling perspektiewe op sukses. Hierdie perspektiewe sluit in die van belanghoudendes, van private operateurs, van die derde sektor sowel as perspektiewe van dissiplines en kennis en praktyk raamwerke soos projekbestuur, korporatiewe bestuur, ondernemingsrisikobestuur en organisatoriese ontwerp. Bykomende suksesfaktore word geïdentifiseer in 'n bespreking oor die evaluasie van vennootskappe, waar dit aangedui word dat suksesfaktore afgelei kan word van karakter-gebaseerde evaluasie, van die prestasiemeting van besigheidsverbeteringsdistrikte ("Business Improvement Districts"), van alternatiewelik-fokusende vennootskap-evaluasie (sektor-vir-sektor, tema-gebasseerd, plaaslike vlak) en van dienslewerings-evaluasie. Die evaluering van vennootskap voorbeelde voorsien ook insig in suksesfaktore. Die finale filtrasie en sintese van bewyse gebruik vraelyste, waarvandaan suksesfaktore afgelei word, vir 'n finale distillasie en die saamstel van 'n finale lys van geïdentifiseerde suksesfaktore. In totaal word 466 indiwiduele suksesfaktore in hierdie proefskrif geïdentifiseer, wat in 43 aparte kategorieë gegroepeer word. Die twee mees kritieke suksesfaktore wat uitgewys word is om eerstens 'n benodigde publieke of openbare behoefte te bevredig of diens te lewer, en tweedens om die doelwitte van die vennootskap te bereik. Die antwoord op die navorsings-vraag wat hierbo beskryf word is dat daar krities aan twee voorwaardes voldoen moet word om 'n PPV susksevol te maak, en dit is dat die vennootskap se doelwitte moet bereik word en dat ‗n openbare behoefte bevredig moet word. Daar is verskeie bykomende suksesfaktore wat sukses en die mate van sukses verder kan definieer, waarvan almal beskrywings is van verlangde toestande uit die oogpunt van belanghebbendes. Die uitset van die verkennende en hipotese-vormende studie is 'n hipotese wat lei dat, indien openbare bestuurders met 'n keuse van dienslewerings opsies gekonfronteer word, en indien die gebruik van 'n PPV een van hierdie opsies is, en indien die bestuurder dan die kategorieë van voorgestelde suksesfaktore wat in hierdie proefskrif geïdentiseer is toepas, sal dit vir die bestuurder moontlik wees om te bepaal of 'n PPV 'n toepaslike diensleweringsvoertuig kan wees, en verder dat, indien 'n PPV die gekose diensleweringsvoertuig is, die openbare bestuurder deur die toepassing van die susksesfaktore wat in hierdie proefskrif geïdentifiseer is 'n groter kans sal hê vir suksesvolle implementering van die PPV deur doelgerigte samewerking.

Abstract:

Background. Globalization and growing concerns for good governance and effectivenessput emphasis on addressing cross-border challenges to which single public organizationsor private companies face barriers. Transnational public-private partnerships (PPPs) areincreasingly used to bring multi-actor and cross-sector solutions to global issues rangingfrom economic development to environmental sustainability to social policies. As privateand public actors participating in transnational PPPs are guided by their own motives thatsignificantly differ from each other, they might enter into conflict with those of thecollaborating sector. Moreover, attention paid by private and public actors to sustainingtheir own identities and fulfilling their own motives might lead to a situation when actorswould be more oriented to achieving their specific goals that are not closely related to thepurposes of partnerships. Partners should consider possible impacts of their decisions onthe overall purpose of partnership in order to not undermine the ability to deliver theexpected results and services.Purpose. The purpose of this study is to investigate the motives of private actors forparticipating in short-term transnational PPPs and their influence on the achievement ofpurposes of such partnerships.Hypotheses. Based on the literature review, three research hypotheses are formulated: 1.Private actors participating in short-term transnational PPPs are guided by financialmotives to the least extent. 2. The specific motives of private actors differ considerablydepending on which type of short-term transnational PPPs they participate in. 3. Themotives of private actors except from financial motives have a positive influence on theachievement of purposes of short-term transnational PPPs.Method: Primary data have been gathered through a questionnaire-based surveyconducted among private companies participating in North Sea Region and CentralEurope programmes within INTERREG B - initiative for transnational cooperation.Empirical data have been analyzed using statistical methods such as factor analysis andmultiple regression analysis.Conclusion. By examining the underlying structure through factor analysis, the motivesof private actors have been divided into four groups such as financial, market-related,capacity building and social and political motives. According to the results of the analysis,private actors participating in short-term transnational PPPs consider financial motives asless important than capacity building, social and political and market-related motives.ivComparisons of the most important motives indicated by private actors have not detectedconsiderable differences depending on the types of PPPs. As identified through regressionanalysis, the influence of capacity building and market-related motives of private actors onthe achievement of overall purpose of partnership is positive, while their financial motivesaffect negatively the result of short-term transnational PPPs.
