Abstract

This PhD thesis explores the role played by management of PPPs in determining their performance. Using a mixed method approach, this study suggests that, the approach used to manage contract has a strong bearing on the success of PPP. The study found that in-congruence between contract management approach and PPP design hampers implementation performance affecting success of the policy. Managers need incentive to adopt appropriate implementation approach in practice. The results hold wider implications for India and other developing nations to better tune and formulate policy and policy implementation.
