Description
Summary:One of the most significant current discussions in the public management agenda over the last couple of decades is public-private partnerships (PPPs). Despite the positive rhetoric, huge efforts are required to reap the advantages of PPPs and overcome the many potential challenges. In meeting these challenges, it is important to understand and manage inter-organizational relationships (IORs) between the public and private sector organizations involved in a public-private partnership arrangement. However, ‘limited scholarly attention has been devoted to the on-going managerial life of a PPP’ (Weihe, 2010, p.510). This research paper contributes to a better understanding of the ‘on-going managerial life of a PPP’ by presenting an empirical study of educational PPPs in Pakistan.
