Muhammad, Z and Johar, F (2019) Critical success factors of public-private partnership projects: A comparative analysis of the housing sector between Malaysia and Nigeria. International Journal of Construction Management, 19(3), pp. 257-269. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
Although public–private partnership (PPP) strategy has gained popularity as an alternative strategy in the delivery of public works projects, its application has come with mixed results. Numerous studies have attributed the success of PPP projects to contextual peculiarities of different administrative settings. This comparative study uses case study approach to analyse the similarities and differences of the critical factors that influence the success of PPP housing projects in Malaysia and Nigeria. The study reveals that while 'equitable risk allocation', 'stable political system', and 'reputable developer' are the most critical critical success factors (CSFs) in the case of Nigeria, 'action against errant developer', 'consistent monitoring', and 'house buyer's demand' are the most critical factors that influenced the success the PPP housing project in Malaysia. The findings widen the understanding of the contextual issues that dictates the relative importance of CSFs of PPP in developing countries.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
