Explaining the determinants of contractual inefficiencies: the case of water provision in Saltillo, Mexico.Soto-Vázquez, Abdelali January 2006 (has links)
<p>Public-private partnerships to provide services are a relatively new policy initiative in Mexico, and have shown contrasting results. This research has endeavored to analyze the possible determinants behind the failure, or the success, of the choice of a specific mode of service provision. By using contracting literature based on transaction costs, and looking specifically at the case of AGSAL, a joint venture established between Saltillo, a northern Mexican city, and INTERAGBAR, a private investor, for the provision of water, this study showed that characteristics of the transaction at stake. More specifically, it showed that specificity of the investments that support a given transaction, the unanticipated changes in circumstances surrounding an exchange, either from physical assets or its ownership rights, and the frequency and duration with which parties engage in the transaction.</p>

State-business partnership in poverty reduction : a case study of three public-private partnerships in SwazilandMutsigwa, Joseph Kudzanai 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPhil (Sustainable Development Planning and Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / The study asserts that Swaziland’s socio-economic development challenges cannot be
effectively tackled by the Government and civil society alone but requires the
participation of the private sector. The study explores the prospects for collaboration
between the state and business in the context of MDGs, PPPs and CSR. The study
highlights the importance of the participation of beneficiaries in the design and
implementation of development projects. The importance of beneficiary participation in
the design and implementation of development initiatives is discussed in the context of
“good governance” linked to the notion of sustainable human development.
The case studies are aimed at poverty reduction/alleviation. Linkages between the private
sector and SMEs in advancing broad economic growth are explored in the case studies. It
is argued that economic growth is a necessary condition for creating employment and
fighting poverty underpinned by the MDGs. The Moneni upgrading project (section 3.2)
explores the extent the initiative aims to improve the living standards of low-income and
poor communities in line with the MDGs. The STH case study (section 3.3) is a spin off
from government. The STH seeks to provide a market intermediary for the SME sector
particularly rural based cultural “handicraft” industries in Swaziland as way to mitigate
the effects of poverty for marginalised rural producers. The last case study (section 3.4)
discusses the entrepreneur of the year awards (EYA), an initiative aimed at reducing
poverty and promoting local economic empowerment and sustainable development in
Swaziland.
The study recommended further research in view of the major constraints highlighted by
the study. It was problematic to engage in critical and detailed discourse because the
concepts explored by the study are new in the Swazi development context. The other
dimension that compromised detailed analysis was posed by the unavailability of
research data related to both the Swazi private sector and SME sectors. The majority of
the SME sector operate at micro level and have insignificant economic turnover. Further
studies are important to explore ways to promote linkages for growth of these sectors in
the context of poverty reduction/alleviation.

Public private partnerships as an alternative service delivery option : a multiple case study of the healthcare sectorHaarhoff, Kosie Jacobus 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA (School of Public Management and Planning))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / This study examines the key success factors in the Public Private Partnerships
(PPP) field in the Healthcare Sector in South Africa. It gives health departments
insight into the factors which should be considered when using PPP procurement
and when looking at possible PPP opportunities.
The development of PPP’s around the world has urged governments to look at
alternative service delivery methods because of increased pressures on government
budgets. Public Private Partnerships presents governments with a means of
generating private funds for health service delivery whilst government manages the
relationship via a negotiated PPP agreement to monitor the quality of services
rendered.
Different PPP models are applied all over the world depending on the specific needs
of countries. Different factors impact on the success of these partnerships and it is
essential that government share knowledge and best practices. The study showed
that in order for PPP’s to be successful the public institution must do its homework
thoroughly and that the legal framework should be conducive for private sector
involvement in service delivery.
The study showed that the government of a country plays a pivotal role in the PPP
process by giving the necessary political support to ensure the trust of foreign
investors. The legislative framework is a critical factor in the advancement of PPP
procurement and the allocation of risk as an important consideration when pursuing
this type of procurement.
The study examined three concluded PPP Health Sector agreements in South Africa
and looked at lessons learnt, mistakes which were made and what should be
avoided in the future. The three PPP’s in South Africa in this study were the first
though there are other health sector PPP agreements concluded. The other PPP’s
are still in the commencement stage and it is too early to make an assessment at this stage. However, the three case studies conducted give departments a clear
picture of the process, the lessons learnt and the impediments in the PPP process.
The uniqueness of the South African Health sector also prompted the Government to
look at a model which will be best suited to the local market. Best practices from
other countries provide useful information and lessons learnt from other countries
are also important in a developing PPP environment.

Developmental local government and the role that public private partnerships can play in achieving this in the Breede River/Winelands MunicipalityEverson, Anton W. J. 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MPA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2005. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis analyse the new trend of governance and
management, introduced in the public sector abroad and now
for the past couple of years in South Africa.
The research further explores issues affecting public
service delivery in general and then concludes by exploring
local government in the Boland area in the Western Cape.
The development role of government, and especially local
government in South Africa necessitates alternative methods
of service delivery, funding and skills transfer. The
performance in developing countries as far as service
delivery is concerned is hampered due to many constraints,
of which unemployment and poverty are two most important
ones.
The literature review has explored the role New Public
Management can play in achieving sustainable local
government and further reviews developmental local
government in South Africa. Public-private partnerships as a
means of service delivery have also been dealt with in the
literature review.
The case study focuses on a municipality in the Western
Cape, Boland region, the Breede River/Winelands Municipality
and its demographic, employment and affordability status. It
further highlights the investigations done to determine
using alternative measures to render services and for
partnerships. The current public-private partnership that is
in place is also evaluated and elaborated on. If the
municipality do not use alternative sources to generate
income, create jobs and render services, be it due to outsourcing or partnerships, the municipality will not be
able to deliver affordable services and meet its obligation
to render sustainable services in the area. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die navorsing

Government as a strategic partner for South African wine industry in the US marketMvemve, Mzokhona 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MBA (Business Management))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The global wine market has faced varying challenges in the first decade of the 21st century; over production brought a power shift in favour of buyers which resulted in a decline in profit margins per bottle sold. The main gainer in these uncertain times has been the consumer. As more regions enhance their wine making skills and embrace superior technology, the wine quality has improved and competition intensified. The growing consumers' wine knowledge has altered quality expectations, placing an added pressure on new brands entering the market.
The United States of America (USA, but hereafter referred to as US) remains a growing wine market, with a population size of 303 million people and an appetite for luxury goods and services it continues to be a popular export destination for other wine regions. The latter trend persist despite a cost of entry into the US market being regarded high as a result of the country's three tier system, which allows for further three segments of the value chain from the producer to add their mark-ups on an exported bottle of wine before it reaches the end consumer. The pricing system has proven to be insufficient a deterrent, particularly to the New World wine producers.
Australia has remained the most successful producer of the New World wines in the export market for the past three decades; the same cannot be said for South Africa wine industry. While market and strategic orientation, industry plan and interorganisational collaboration are identified as key factors in the Australian success, the partnership between government bodies and wine industry bodies are credited for their unified approach to the US market. The South African government have programmes aimed at promoting the county's export of goods and services. The adequacy of such programmes remains in doubt, particularly in the eminent challenges in the global wine market.
The study investigates the extent and nature of a partnership between government bodies and the South African wine industry with regard to effective promotion of the country's wines in the US market. A qualitative methodology is employed to ensure credibility and accuracy of the primary data. Five participants are selected for a discussion, including an exporting wine producer, wine cellars association, wine export council and two government agencies. The Vision 2020 strategy by the South African wine industry is reviewed, with the main focus on the US market and the role of the exporting country's government given the changing international trade regime.
The study concludes that the US remains a critical market for South African wine producers despite the high cost of entry, global wine surplus and economic recession, and that success for the country's wines is partly dependent on a unified approach by the industry, attainable though partnerships with government agencies. While acknowledging the continuing government support, it makes recommendations on how to strengthen existing partnerships with regard to the US export market for South African wines. The study lacks generaliseability; however since it is meant to assist design effective export promotion programmes for South African wines in the US market, the absence of generaliseability is considered unproblematic. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die globale wynmark het in die eerste dekade van die 21ste eeu voor verskeie uitdagings te staan gekom. Dit sluit in oorproduksie wat tot 'n magskuif ten gunste van kopers gelei het en winsmarges per bottel wyn wat verkoop is laat daal het. Die grootste voordeeltrekker in hierdie onsekere tye is die verbruiker. Soos al meer streke hul wynproduksievaardighede versterk en die beste tegnologie benut, verbeter die gehalte van wyn en word mededinging strawwer. Soos verbruikers se kennis van wyn toeneem, verander hul verwagtinge ten opsigte van gehalte. Dit plaas bykomende druk op nuwe handelsmerke wat tot die mark toetree.
Die wynmark in die Vereenigde State van Amerika (VSA) groei steeds. Met 'n bevolkingsgrootte van 303 miljoen mense en 'n aptyt vir luukse goedere en dienste bly die VSA 'n gewilde uitvoerbestemming vir ander wynstreke. Die tendens om wyn na die VSA uit te voer, bly sterk ondanks die hoë koste om tot die VSA-mark toe te tree. Dié hoë koste is die gevolg van die VSA se drie-vlak stelsel wat dit vir produsente moontlik maak om die waardeketting verder te segmenteer en hul prysverhoging by 'n bottel ingevoerde wyn te voeg voordat dit die eindverbruiker bereik. Hierdie prysbepalingstelsel blyk egter onvoldoende te wees as 'n afskrikmiddel, veral vir wynprodusente van die Nuwe Wêreld.
Australië was die afgelope drie dekades die suksesvolste produsent van Nuwe Wêreld-wyne vir die uitvoermark. Dieselfde geld egter nie vir Suid-Afrika se wynbedryf nie. Hoewel strategiese en markoriëntasie, bedryfsplanne en interorganisatoriese samewerking as sleutelfaktore vir sukses in Australië geïdentifiseer is, kry die vennootskappe tussen dié land se regeringsliggame en wynbedryfsliggame die krediet vir hul verenigde benadering tot die VSA se mark. Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering het programme wat die land se uitvoer van goedere en dienste bevorder. Die gepastheid van sodanige programme bly onseker, veral in die lig van die groot uitdagings in die globale wynmark.
Die studie ondersoek die omvang en aard van 'n vennootskap tussen regeringsliggame en die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf ten opsigte van doeltreffende promosie van die land se wyne in die VSA-mark. 'n Kwalitatiewe metodologie word gebruik om die geloofwaardigheid en akkuraatheid van die primêre data te verseker. Vyf deelnemers is vir 'n bespreking gekies: 'n produsent wat wyn uitvoer, 'n wynkeldervereniging, wynuitvoerraad en twee regeringsliggame. Die Visie 2020-strategie deur die Suid-Afrikaanse wynbedryf word hersien en sterk klem word ook gelê op die VSA-mark en die rol van die uitvoerland se regering in die lig van die veranderende internasionale handelsregime.
Die studie kom tot die gevolgtrekking dat die VSA 'n kritiese mark vir Suid-Afrikaanse wynprodusente bly ondanks die hoë koste van toetrede, die globale wynsurplus en die ekonomiese resessie, en dat sukses vir Suid-Afrika se wyn deels van 'n verenigde benadering tot die wynbedryf afhang wat deur vennootskappe met regeringsagentskappe moontlik gemaak kan word. Hoewel die verslag erkenning gee aan voortgesette regeringsondersteuning, word aanbevelings ook gedoen oor hoe om die bestaande vennootskappe ten opsigte van die VSA as uitvoermark vir Suid-Afrikaanse wyne te versterk. Hierdie studie het 'n gebrek aan veralgemeenbaarheid. Omdat dit egter daarop gerig is om doeltreffende promosieprogramme vir die uitvoer van Suid-Afrikaanse wyne na die VSA-mark te help ontwerp, word die afwesigheid van veralgemeenbaarheid as onbelangrik geag.
