The South African urban renewal and development environments are facing a number of challenges. South Africa, like many countries around the world, is experiencing challenges delivering to its citizens, facilities, infrastructure and services, at a rate fast enough to satisfy the public demand. Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) are a possible solution to curbing the disparity between these levels of supply and demand. The field of urban renewal and development is no different in this regard. In fact, urban renewal projects act as an effective measure when gauging the success rate of PPPs within a country. This is due mainly to the sheer size of these projects, which by their very nature, demand a certain involvement from numerous parties. While PPPs may act as an effective aid for government to increase procurement and service delivery, these initiatives are not without their problems, in fact these partnerships are often plagued with much uncertainty. This research aims to provide insight into factors affecting PPPs, both negatively as well as positively, and specific to the area of urban renewal and development. The first stage of the research involved semi-structured interviews that were conducted with industry experts. This allowed for the next stage of research which involved surveying employees in the relevant industry through a structured questionnaire. Based on the findings of this research, as well as knowledge garnered from a review of available literature surrounding this topic, a model was created to provide users with a clear consolidated view of factors affecting PPPs in general and specific to the urban renewal and development sectors. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / unrestricted

In the early 2000s, the world witnessed the emergence of a new variant of the juridical entity whose fundamental characteristic is the conjunction between public and private actors with the intention of delivering public infrastructures that otherwise would be impossible to realise. This new variant came to be known as the Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Since then, it has taken centre stage in development discourse assuming academic and practical importance due to the perceived role it plays in global development. Although research interest in PPP contracts has increased globally, only a few studies focus on the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) region. The present study contributes by filling in this gap and providing a comparative perspective on the regimes of the PPP contract in Mozambique and South Africa. While PPPs may provide much needed infrastructure to meet the needs of end users, this often comes at considerable cost. The fiscal cost and distributional implications of PPPs are accentuated when compared with state borrowing. In addition, when it comes to risk management, all those risks that are supposedly transferred to a private operator are never truly transferred and, in the end, the government is always the residual risk holder should the PPP consortium fail. Far from freeing resources to be invested in other poverty reduction programmes, PPPs can absorb funds that could have been devoted directly to such programmes. In the end, rather than compensating for weak state capacity it places significant extra demands on it. These contradictions call into question the merits of promoting PPPs to overcome developing countries' public service financing gap, as the evidence clearly suggests that PPPs often have tended to be more expensive than their public procurement alternative, and in a number of instances they have failed to deliver the envisaged gains. The research in both jurisdictions has also analysed context-specific factors capable of jeopardising the successful implementation of PPP contracts. These include non-streamlined regulatory frameworks, state capacity constraints, weak integrity systems, and corruption. The key recommendation drawn from the research is that in order for the PPPs to be able to harness their full potential and deliver on expected gains, substantial regulatory and institutional reforms are needed in both jurisdictions studied.

The globalization era has brought along fierce competition and fast connection and contact. To ensure national competitiveness, countries all over the world have conducted various reforms on internal operation and the formulation and implementation of policies. Since the 1980¡¦s, the U.K. and the U.S., by adopting new public management theories on the creation of an efficient government, have promoted the privatization of the public sector, the outsourcing of government¡¦s non-core services and the diversification of public facility management. This paper focus on four park and green land in Kaohsiung as to study the object, addressed the outsourcing performance and matching the depth interview method, entrusting the organization, operator, government, carry on concerning the interview of the dilemma and fruit that meets in the privately owned management process of an area run by private capital. Hope by the sorting review of the related cultural heritage, and "the outsourcing business model of partner's direction" of this research development, has the more thorough understanding to an area in Kaohsiung City, provide the actual situation and the suggestion on the policy. Through the review and study of policy implementation of local governments, the author suggests that local governments should create and supports at the partner up, contain the imperfection that the knowledge management, experience spreads to accept. The passive old bureaucrat mindset of the information, don't understand for the job, also cause three harassment of the manufacturer, government, people in contract. This paper basis "the outsourcing business model of partner's direction" to do the policy and the suggestion on the actual situation, providing the manufacturer, government, people with three aspect the outsourcing management model of join force operate.
