Strategic Issues in Public-Private Partnerships (ePub)

Managing PPP projects is not a routine job, as every PPP project is
different and should be managed accordingly. These projects require
considerable capability and skills from both public sector and
private sector managers involved, Strategic Issues in Public
Private Partnerships, Second Edition, delivers the insight and
tools necessary to assist those managers.

As Public private partnership (PPP) arrangements become an
increasingly popular way for national governments to fund and
develop public infrastructure and urban areas with private sector
contributions, a better understanding of the risks involved is
crucial.
