Li, B; Akintoye, A and Hardcastle, C (2000) Conceptual framework for construction public private partnerships. In: Akintoye, A (ed.) Proceedings of 16th Annual ARCOM Conference, 6-8 September 2000, Glasgow, UK.
Abstract
Construction projects are typically financially expensive, that governments both in developed and developing countries, for pragmatic reasons are now adopting public-private partnership to fund public sector projects. The forms of public-private partnerships (PPPs) and the use in many countries and industries are increasing as part of the policies towards decentralisation and deregulation. A three-year research programme is currently underway at the Glasgow Caledonian University to develop an organisational framework for construction PPP and model associated risk management. The purpose of this paper is to rationalise the concept and structure of PPPs, and to use this as a basis for continuous research. Based on a literature review of work already done in the subject area, a conceptual framework for PPP is presented. In addition, the paper describes some main issues involved in construction PPPs, including the reasons for the public and private sectors' involvement and associated risks.

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
