One of the main sources of risks that influence potential project success is the project selection decision, especially for international contractor organisations looking for an opportunity to invest in public private partnership projects in foreign countries. Project selection decision, which involves the bid/no bid decision, is a critical investment decision needs to be made based on concrete project evaluation and risks identifications; where negative-risk is in place if there is an absence of a rational basis at the time of making such a decision. Thus, negative consequences of such a decision might occur. The bid/no bid decision necessitates an effective project evaluation and risk identification from various aspects with consideration of several internal and external factors in order to achieve project success. Bidding for PPP projects overseas without efficiently applying risk management tools and techniques to evaluate both the project and the organisation’s current situation and capability might result either in large losses or consumption of time and resources that could have been avoided. The prime aim of this research is to develop a strategic investment decision model from the perspective of risk management, in order to facilitate the decisions of international contractors who intend to invest in public private partnership projects in the Saudi Arabian construction industry. This aim requires establishing a link between the risk management process and the organisation's strategy and its current situation, and identifying risks involved in the bid/no bid decision, PPP projects, and international investment in order to provide an effective computer-based model that is capable of organising the bid/no bid decision in a rational, logical, flexible, and user-friendly manner. The pragmatic triangulation philosophy approach is adopted as the best research methodology that allows two types of research strategy to be combined in order to accomplish the research aim and objectives. Thus, the methods used are qualitative interviews and a quantitative questionnaire-based survey. The findings of this research identified critical success factors of international contractors’ bidding decisions for PPP projects in the Saudi Arabian construction industry. In particular, seventy-seven factors affecting the bid/no bid decision were used as a foundation for development of a Strategic Risk Management Decision Model (SRMDM), available at www.srmdm.com.

A dissertação “A proposta de Educação para o Empreendedorismo do Instituto Empreender Endeavor: um estudo sobre parceria público-privada apresenta como temática central a relação público-privada na educação e tem como objetivo geral analisar o conteúdo da proposta de educação que fundamenta os cursos de empreendedorismo do Instituto Empreender Endeavor, promovidos em parceria com instituições públicas de educação no Brasil. Quanto à metodologia utilizada para realizar a pesquisa, o materialismo histórico representa o referencial teóricometodológico, sendo a análise documental a principal ferramenta, a partir do trabalho com fontes primárias e secundárias. O marco teórico da presente pesquisa parte das crises do capitalismo de 1970 e 2008 e o decorrente processo de reestruturação do sistema, o qual apresenta o Neoliberalismo, a Reestruturação Produtiva, a Globalização e a Terceira Via como estratégias para superação deste quadro. No plano políticoideológico, tanto o Neoliberalismo quanto a Terceira Via apresentam a reforma do Estado baseada na lógica mercantil como padrão de qualidade, o que tem possibilitado o crescimento da influência dos setores privados na direção e execução das políticas públicas, em especial no campo social, como a educação, que é o foco deste estudo. Contudo, a proposta neoliberal consiste no amplo processo de privatização, já a Terceira Via privilegia como elemento central a atuação das organizações ligadas ao Terceiro Setor. Constituintes deste processo, a Reestruturação Produtiva legitimou formas de organização do trabalho que atendessem aos interesses do capital em crise, com destaque para o Empreendedorismo, e a Globalização potencializou a expansão do capitalismo reestruturado através das Redes. Desta forma, a redefinição das fronteiras entre o público e o privado tem influenciado no conteúdo da educação pública, pois as Redes de Empreendedores Sociais ligadas ao Terceiro Setor, como é o caso do Instituto Empreender Endeavor, que estabelecem parcerias com instituições públicas de educação, definem o conteúdo educacional ofertado à população. A influência exercida por estas instituições privadas junto ao campo público da educação constitui-se como o problema deste estudo, o que sugere o seguinte questionamento: poderá o conteúdo da educação proposto pelo Instituto Empreender Endeavor, através de cursos de empreendedorismo oferecidos em parceria com instituições públicas de educação, ter implicações para a Democratização da Educação? No desenvolvimento da pesquisa verificou-se que o empreendedorismo dialoga com todas as estratégias características do processo de reestruturação do capitalismo, contribuindo para assegurar a hegemonia e conseqüente reprodução do sistema. Isto é, sua proposta articula, ao mesmo tempo, o apassivamento dos sujeitos que, diante do contexto de crise econômica e social, passam a buscar individualmente as competências demandadas pelo mercado e assumem os riscos de empreender seu próprio negócio para garantir a sobrevivência. Nesse sentido, conclui-se que os cursos de empreendedorismo do Instituto Empreender Endeavor promovidos em parceria com instituições públicas da educação brasileira contribuem para a deteriorização dos princípios de uma educação democrática, proporcionando um único caminho, a adaptação dos sujeitos às demandas do mercado capitalista, através da incorporação de competências socioemocionais para empreender seu próprio negócio, uma realidade que, para a maioria dos empreendedores brasileiros, significa precarização das condições de vida. / The dissertation "The Entrepreneurial Education Project of the Empreender Endeavor Institute: a study on public-private partnership presents as central theme the publicprivate relationship in education and its general objective is to analyze the content of the education proposal that bases the courses of entrepreneurship of Instituto Empreender Endeavor, promoted in partnership with public education institutions in Brazil. As for the methodology used to carry out the research, historical materialism represents the theoretical-methodological reference, and documentary analysis is the main tool, based on the work with primary and secondary sources. The theoretical framework of the present research starts from the crises of capitalism of 1970 and 2008 and the resulting process of restructuring the system, which presents Neoliberalism, Productive Restructuring, Globalization and the Third Way as strategies to overcome this framework. At the political-ideological level, both Neoliberalism and the Third Way present the reform of the State based on the mercantile logic as a quality standard, which has allowed the growth of the influence of the private sectors in the direction and execution of public policies, especially in the field social, such as education, which is the focus of this study. However, the neoliberal proposal consists of the broad process of privatization, since the Third Way privileges as a central element the performance of organizations related to the Third Sector. Constituents of this process, Productive Restructuring legitimized forms of work organization that served the interests of capital in crisis, with emphasis on Entrepreneurship, and Globalization enhanced the expansion of restructured capitalism through Networks. In this way, the redefinition of publicprivate boundaries has influenced the content of public education, since the Network of Social Entrepreneurs linked to the Third Sector, such as Instituto Empreender Endeavor, which establishes partnerships with public institutions of education, define the educational content offered to the population. The influence exerted by these private institutions in the public field of education constitutes the problem of this study, which suggests the following question: can the content of the education proposed by the Instituto Empreender Endeavor, through entrepreneurship courses offered in partnership with institutions education, have implications for the democratization of education? In the development of the research it was verified that entrepreneurship dialogues with all the characteristic strategies of the process of capitalist restructuring, contributing to ensure hegemony and consequent reproduction of the system. That is to say, its proposal articulates, at the same time, the apassivamento of the individuals who, faced with the context of economic and social crisis, begin to individually seek the competences demanded by the market and assume the risks of starting their own business to guarantee their survival. In this sense, it is concluded that the entrepreneurship courses of the Instituto Empreender Endeavor promoted in partnership with public institutions of Brazilian education contribute to the deterioration of the principles of a democratic education, providing a single path, the adaptation of the subjects to the demands of the capitalist market, through the incorporation of socio-emotional competences to undertake their own business, a reality that, for most Brazilian entrepreneurs, means the precariousness of living conditions.

Combined technical and administrative obsolescence of the contemporary state, the public-private partnership is an important tool for urban reform with private funding, under the cloak of a distributive character. But the obstacles are many. Despite the existence of an important legal framework, it is not, in Brazil, a tradition of the private sector to invest in social works as the housing market is restricted. The success of the partnership depends on a paradigmatic shift in public policy: it will aim at social justice or continue to succumb to real estate speculation. Based on this background, the objective of this study is to analyze the public-private partnership within the bounds of the country's urban policy, to understand this instrument forseen in the City Statute through the analysis of its legal framework and with European experiences, with the empirical object of its application through urban operations in the São Paulo municipality. Methodology: exploratory, descriptive and explanatory; to deepen the theoretical and empirical knowledge about the situation of the problem and the analysis that was done with legislation and bibliography, constituting the major source of evidence. Results: During the analysis of the Brazilian urban reform, state administrative and technical obsolescence and limitations of public resources were observed, occupying a prominent position in public-private partnership in urban reform, and how it could be analyzed together with the European experience of social innovation, especially in the São Paulo municipality. Despite the social, economic, environmental and political appeals present in the partnership, the literature highlights contradictions and obstacles for its consolidation as an alternative to urban development based on social inclusion as well as to pay attention to the diversion of its purpose, as the practice has prioritized real estate capital. It is pertinent to note the importance of the private sector s participation in urban development, because despite the state mandate, due to its technical, administrative and financial constraints, the government has encountered obstacles in complying with this proposition. Conclusion: In this context, one of the challenges is to provide measurement tools to provide information for the evaluation of urban development in order to define the applicability of the public-private partnership, which may materially have an impact, directly or indirectly, negatively or positively, if used as an instrument of government or state policy. The legal framework deserves only a few adjustments to make the partnership attractive to the private sector and at the same time encourage fairness; however, it has not been enough to make the partnership viable given the complexity and contradictions of capitalist urbanization. Accordingly, it is hoped that the government and the private sector will be compelled to seek adequate ways of carrying out a public-private partnership, with management focused on the areas of social justice. / A Constituição Federal trouxe instrumentos que priorizam a finalidade social da terra, regulamentados pelo Estatuto da Cidade; acresceu atribuições aos municípios que, por vezes, não encontram correspondência na arrecadação, gerando limitações orçamentárias que dificultam investimentos. Coadunado com a obsolescência técnica e administrativa do Estado contemporâneo, a parceria público-privada é importante instrumento para a reforma urbana com financiamento privado, sob o manto do caráter distributivo. Mas os entraves são muitos. Apesar da existência de importante arcabouço legal, não é, no Brasil, tradição do setor privado investir no social; o mercado imobiliário legal é restrito. O sucesso da parceria depende de uma mudança de paradigma da política pública: se visará à justiça social ou continuará a sucumbir à especulação imobiliária. Com base neste contexto, este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a parceria público-privada dentre a política urbana brasileira, compreender este instrumento previsto no Estatuto da Cidade através da análise do seu arcabouço legal e das experiências europeias, tendo como objeto empírico a sua aplicação através das operações urbanas no município São Paulo. Método: exploratório-descritivo-explicativo; a fim de aprofundar o conhecimento teóricoempírico sobre a situação problema pesquisada, as análises foram feitas por meio de legislação e bibliografia, constituindo maior fonte de evidência. Resultados: na análise da reforma urbana brasileira foi constatada a obsolescência técnica e administrativa estatal e limitações de recursos públicos, ocupando posição de destaque a parceria público-privada na reforma urbana, como pôde ser analisado nas experiências europeias de inovação social e, principalmente, no município São Paulo. Apesar dos apelos sociais, econômicos, ambientais e políticos presentes na parceria, a bibliografia destaca contradições e obstáculos para sua consolidação como alternativa ao desenvolvimento urbano pautado na inclusão social, além de atentar-se ao seu desvio de finalidade, já que a prática tem priorizado o capital imobiliário. É pertinente salientar a relevância da participação do setor privado no desenvolvimento urbano, pois apesar da incumbência estatal, devido às limitações técnicas, administrativas e financeiras, o poder público tem encontrado obstáculos no integral cumprimento desse propósito. Conclusão: neste âmbito, um dos desafios é disponibilizar instrumentos de mensuração para prover informações à avaliação do desenvolvimento urbano, a fim de definir a aplicabilidade da parceria público-privada, que pode impactar de forma relevante, direta ou indiretamente, negativa ou positivamente, se utilizada como instrumento de política de governo ou de Estado. O arcabouço legal merece apenas algumas adequações para tornar a parceria atraente ao setor privado e, ao mesmo tempo, favorecer a equidade; entretanto não tem sido suficiente para viabilização da parceria, diante da complexidade e das contradições fruto da urbanização capitalista. Nesse sentido, espera-se que o poder público e o setor privado sejam compelidos a buscar meios adequados à efetivação da parceria público-privada, com gestão voltada ao âmbito da justiça social.

abstract: Transportation systems in the U.S. are in a poor state of disrepair. A significant investment is needed to replace or rehabilitate current transportation infrastructure. Currently, transportation investments are lackluster with the recession of 2008 heavily impacting transportation spending, inciting deficits and budgetary cuts at state and federal government levels. As a result, policy makers and public officials are increasingly looking for innovative financing and alternative delivery methods to supplement traditional financing and delivery for transportation projects. Subsequently, the number of public-private partnerships (PPP or P3) has increased substantially over the last two decades. There is a growing need to quantify the project performance and financial benefits of PPP. This dissertation fills this gap in knowledge by performing a comprehensive quantitative analysis of PPP project performance and financial sources for transportation projects in the U.S. This study’s specific research objectives are: (1) Develop a solid baseline for comparison, comprised of non-PPP projects; (2) Quantify PPP project cost and schedule performance; and (3) Quantify private versus public financing sources of PPP. A thorough literature review led to the development of a structured data collection process for PPP and comparable non-PPP projects. Financing data was collected and verified for a total of 133 ongoing and completed projects; while performance data was verified for a subset of 81 completed projects. Data analysis included regression analysis, descriptive statistics, inferential statistics and non-parametric statistical tests. The results provide benchmarks for PPP project performance and financing sources. For the performance results, non-PPP projects have an average cost change of 8.46 percent and an average schedule change of -0.22 percent. PPP projects have an average cost change of 3.04 percent and average schedule change of 1.38 percent. Statistical analysis showed cost change for PPP projects were superior to that of non-PPP; however, schedule change differences were not significant. For the financing results, private financing totaled 44.5 percent while public financing totaled 55.5 percent. This result shows private financing can be used to leverage public financing with close to a one-to-one ratio and that PPP has the potential to double the amount of infrastructure delivered to the public. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Civil and Environmental Engineering 2016

abstract: Public Private Partnerships (PPP) have been in use for years in the United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and for a shorter time here in the United States. Typical PPP infrastructure projects include a multi-year term of operation in addition to constructing the structural features to be used. Early studies are proving PPP delivery methods to be effective at construction cost containment. An examination of the key elements that constitute the early stage negotiation reveal that there is room for negotiation created by the governing documentation while maintaining a competitive environment that brings the best value available to the Public entity. This paper will examine why PPP's are effective during this critical construction period of the facilities life cycle. It is the intent of this study to examine why the features and outcomes of more or less negotiation and the degree of rigor associated with it. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.S. Construction 2012

Este trabalho apresenta uma proposta metodolÃgica para seleÃÃo de projetos de Parceria PÃblico-Privadas (PPP) no Ãmbito do Programa de PPP do Estado do Cearà e direcionados ao setor de infra-estrutura rodoviÃria. A metodologia à baseada nos estudos de viabilidade dos projetos de parceria e nas condicionantes impostas na Lei n 11.079/2004 na esfera federal e na Lei n 13.557/2004 do Estado do CearÃ. No sentido de facilitar a compreensÃo acerca dos motivos que levaram a administraÃÃo pÃblica brasileira a adotar a PPP como uma alternativa de financiamento no setor rodoviÃrio, a dissertaÃÃo apresenta uma abordagem sobre as diferentes fontes de financiamento na Ãrea de infra-estrutura rodoviÃria no Brasil e a experiÃncia internacional na implementaÃÃo de projetos de PPP. Para propiciar um melhor entendimento da metodologia proposta, o trabalho apresenta, ainda, uma explanaÃÃo sobre as Parcerias PÃblico Privadas no que se refere a: conceitos e definiÃÃes; tipos de contrato; benefÃcios, condicionantes e restriÃÃes; e estudo de viabilidade dos projetos. Adicionalmente, com o mesmo intuito, sÃo destacados e analisados os principais pontos das Lei n 11.079/2004 e Lei n 13.557/2004 que sÃo diretamente utilizados na avaliaÃÃo dos projetos a serem incluÃdos no Programa de PPP do Estado do CearÃ. / This work presents a methodological proposal for selection of projects of Public - Private Partnership (PPP) in the ambit of the PPP Program of Cearà State and directed to the sector of highway infrastructure. The methodology is based on the feasibility studies of projects of PPP and the conditions established in the national law n 11.079/2004 and in the State law n 13.557/2004. With objective to facilitate an comprehension about the motives that carry out the Brazilian government to adopt the PPP as one alternative of financing in the sector of highway infrastructure, the work presents an explanation about the different sources of financing in this sector in Brazil as well about the international experience in the development of projects of PPP. To provide one better understanding of the methodology, the work still presents an explanation about the Public-Private Partnership related to: concepts and definitions; types of contract; benefits, conditions necessaries and restrictions; and feasibility studies of PPP projects. In addition, with the same objective, the main points of both laws 11.079/2004 and 13.557/2004 used in the evaluation of the projects to be included in the PPP Program of state of Cearà are highlighted and analyzed in the work.
