Examining the State of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Institutionalization in the United States
- 2019
-
In: Engineering Project Organization Journal. - : Engineering Project Organization Society. - 2157-3735. ; 8
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Globally, public-private partnerships (PPPs) have increased in popularity as an alternative procurement model for infrastructure development projects. While PPPs have been widely researched and remain subject to extensive debate, the process of PPP institutionalization has been largely overlooked. To address this knowledge gap, we utilize a combination of both Johnson et al.’s (2006) four phases of institutionalization—innovation, local validation, diffusion, and general validation—and Mrak’s (2014) three models of PPP institutionalization—centralized, decentralized, and mixed—to examine the current state of the U.S. PPP market. Using data on 368 U.S. PPP projects from Inframation’s global transactions database, our case analysis indicates America’s PPP institutionalization process is strongly decentralized and currently in a state of diffusion. Our analysis also suggests general validation of PPPs in the U.S. will likely be predicated on shifting to a mixed PPP institutionalization model.

(Re)assessing public–private partnership governance challenges : An institutional maturity perspective
- 2019

In: Public–Private Partnerships for Infrastructure Development: Finance, Stakeholder Alignment, Governance. - : Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd.. ; , s. 188-204

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Globally, public_private partnerships (PPPs) have risen in popularity as an alternative procurement model for infrastructure development projects. The development of infrastructure PPPs depends to a large extent on institutional maturity, where mature institutions are characterized by well-established norms and coordination procedures for infrastructure PPP developments. While PPPs have been widely researched and remain subject to extensive debate, the role of institutional maturity in PPP governance has been largely overlooked in the field of engineering project organization (EPO). To address this knowledge gap, this chapter evaluates how institutional settings affect the public sector’s governance capacity to effectively develop infrastructure PPPs. It concludes with normative recommendations for institutional reform of PPP governance in the United States.

(Re)defining public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the new public governance (NPG) paradigm : an institutional maturity perspective
- 2020
-
In: Public Management Review. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1471-9037 .- 1471-9045. ; 22:2, s. 161-183
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Infrastructure public-private partnerships (PPPs) are dominantly seen as part of an increasingly fragmented and uncertain public management paradigm known as New Public Governance (NPG). However, the effects of institutional maturity on PPP utilization within this domain remain understudied. In order to (re)define PPPs within the NPG paradigm, we develop a PPP institutional maturity model based on three institutional capabilities-legitimacy, trust, and capacity. We then use the U.S. PPP market as a case example to explore how the maturity of PPPs in an institutional setting depends on legitimacy, trust, and capacity in the PPP model.

Projects in the Business Ecosystem : The Case of Short Sea Shipping and Logistics
- 2019
-
In: Project Management Journal. - : Sage Publications. - 8756-9728 .- 1938-9507. ; 50:2, s. 195-209
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article develops a conceptual framework to analyze the governance of projects within a business ecosystem. The framework is applied to the case of a vessel delivery project in the short sea shipping business ecosystem, which is a cargo and logistics infrastructure service at sea. We develop a model that identifies contentious lock-ins among the workflows, and show how they can be resolved by governance that can increase performance of the sea logistics infrastructure. The model shows the interdependence of the short sea shipping business ecosystem and the vessel project, and it shows how performance is enhanced by their integration.

Developing a governance model for PPP infrastructure service delivery based on lessons from Eastern Australia
- 2016
-
In: Journal of Organization Design. - : Springer Nature. - 2245-408X. ; 5:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Public-private partnership (PPP) concession agreements are awarded by National, State and local public agencies that contract with private companies to finance and deliver infrastructure as a long term service to governments and their citizens, rather than having the private firms design and build infrastructure assets to be financed, operated-and, hopefully, maintained-by government. PPPs are similar to the emerging model of selling business or personal software as a cloud-based service (SaaS) rather than as a product licensed by the user-a model that that has transformed and disrupted the enterprise software industry. Australia is a world leader in PPP infrastructure delivery, and has had over two decades of experience in delivering civil and social infrastructure services to its citizens via PPP concessions. Along the way, the public and private participants in infrastructure PPPs have developed practices and a mature institutional framework necessary for this kind of long-term, risky public-private commercial partnership. This study reports the findings from in-depth interviews with 25 senior executives of public and private participants in PPP infrastructure projects from the three Eastern Australian States with the longest history of PPP delivery. Based on the results of those interviews, we develop a governance model for infrastructure service delivery: the government selects infrastructure projects, guided by a non-partisan, expert infrastructure prioritization panel, and contracts for the delivery of these prioritized infrastructure services with a private concessionaire financed by long-term institutional investment capital. The concessionaire is a private entity in charge of financing, designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining the infrastructure service. The government supervises the infrastructure service, to safeguard public interest. The government also provides an institutional framework, with contracts and authorities necessary for the interaction between the public and private actors.

Workflow Interdependence Analysis of Projects in Business Ecosystems
- 2019
-
In: Engineering Project Organization Journal. - : Engineering Project Organization Society (EPOS). - 2157-3735. ; 8:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This article contributes to engineering project research by studying how projects relate to their surrounding context. The article presents a framework for the analysis of workflow interdependencies in a project that is situated in a business ecosystem. The analysis is used to reduce costly conflicts in the business ecosystem, and the framework shows how the project is positively impacted by the resolution of those conflicts. The framework elaborates James Thompson’s notion of pooled, sequential and reciprocal interdependence and distinguishes between compatible-reciprocal and contentious-reciprocal interdependencies. The relationship between interdependence types and their corresponding coordination and governance mechanisms, originally posited for interdependence between tasks and groups within a single organization, applies equally well to interdependence types and governance mechanisms across firm boundaries within a business ecosystem. We analyze a cargo vessel development project within the short sea logistics business ecosystem to illustrate how the proposed framework can remove unproductive workflow conflicts and enhance value creation.
