Doctoral thesis of Philosophy: A public sector governance model for public private partnership: integrating partnership, risk and performance management in the operating phase

This research has two main objectives. The first is to examine how PPP operational phase partnership, risk and performance management practices can be improved to achieve better VfM outcomes. This involves developing a generic conceptual integrating model, intended to assist government decision-makers to allocate and make better use of public sector resources during the operational phase of PPPs, that may have significant and / or long-term consequences for achieving strategic objectives using an integrated partnership, risk and performance management approach. The second objective is to test the logic and sufficiency of the model by exposing it to industry practitioner review and comment.
