Business and higher education are two different worlds with different missions, values and priorities. Privatized student housing partnerships have brought these two worlds together with little information on how they work and the challenges they face. Research indicated that through collaboration, skilled leadership and an understanding of students, healthy relationships could exist. The purpose of this study was to provide awareness of these existing partnerships and the current perceptions from leaders from both higher education and business working within present collaborations. It sought to uncover and bring awareness to the challenges experienced in order to create a dialogue around them. Feedback obtained from 30 professionals working within public-private partnerships from both the business and higher education worlds provided insight into existing perceptions and challenges. Semi-structured interviews where utilized and customized using eight open-ended questions that were different for each group. A purposeful sampling approach was used to select the participants based on their existing partnership with a privatized student housing company. Out of the thirty participants, twenty were chief officers within higher education and ten business officers. Analysis of the thirty interviews depicted three major themes: the two worlds: business and higher education, the bridge: leader of the village and the resident: customer and student. Results showed that collaboration and leadership changes can make or break the partnership. It highlighted the diversity in values and concerns of higher education institutions and reinforced the importance they place on student development and retention.

This study aims to examine the attitudes of the Saudi undergraduate college students toward the anticipated effects of privatization on the employment system of the Saudi privatized SOEs. Using survey questionnaire data collected in May 2002 from 672 Saudi undergraduate college students, the study results reveal varied attitudes. On the one hand, large percentages of the respondents prefer working under close supervision of Saudi management, having a salary based on productivity, being promoted based upon performance (rather than seniority), and adhering to prescribed procedures in executing job tasks. On the other hand, high percentages of the study respondents tend to dislike the concepts of putting forth more effort to meet management's plans, of working on nights and weekend, and of compromising job security in return for a higher salary. In addition, while the majority of the study respondents believe that privatization of state-owned enterprises is best for the local economy, their support for privatization is qualified by their insistence or desire that it not negatively impact their own interests. The statistical significance and association analyses reveal that the effects of academic majors and province on respondents' attitudes toward promotion criteria, teaming, and management's nationality are indeed significant. In addition, gender, SES, living areas prior to college entry, and adherence to religion are significantly related to respondents' attitudes toward privatization in general and toward some of its potential effects on the employment system. Recommendations are provided. / Ph. D.

This study compared students' perceptions and satisfaction as they related to their place of residence. In addition, this study sought to determine if a difference existed between student retention rates from their first year in college to their second year and one's grade point average with respect to one's place of residence within the collegiate setting. As such, the problem this study examined was the overall impact of where a first-time-in-college student lived within the University of Central Florida housing system and how that living environment impacted students' levels of satisfaction, overall retention rates, and cumulative grade point averages. The data used for this study were obtained from a previously distributed survey conducted by the Department of Housing and Residence Life at the University of Central Florida in February 2007. Secondary data were obtained through the Department of Institutional Research at the University of Central Florida. A website link to an optional, self-administered Internet-based survey was sent via email to University of Central Florida students residing in university owned housing and university affiliated housing. The size of the sample was determined by the number of delivered emails 3800 for university owned housing, 1,500 for university affiliated housing (Towers), and 1,831 for university affiliated housing (Pegasus Landing). Of the total populations: 1) 38.57 percent were returned for university owned housing, 2) 26.26 percent were returned for university affiliated (Towers at Golden Knights Plaza), and 3) 24.63 percent were returned for university affiliated housing (Pegasus Landing). There were many statistically significant relationships. Consistently, students residing in university owned housing showed higher satisfaction and agreement levels when compared with students living in university affiliated housing. Additionally, students living in university owned housing showed a higher retention rate and cumulative grade point average when compared with students living in university affiliated housing.

During the last decades, Swedish policy makers have implemented various marketization reforms into the public welfare sector in order to make it more cost-efficient and to improve its quality. The aim of this dissertation is to investigate what implications this marketization trend has had for the organization of Swedish eldercare. In particular, the research question addressed is how marketization reforms such as privatized provision, increased competition, and user choice have transformed the relationship between the service users, the professionals, and the state. To answer the research question, four articles are presented in the dissertation, each corresponding to a separate empirical investigation. Together, the articles demonstrate that the increased reliance on marketization in Swedish eldercare has made it more difficult for the local authorities to directly control the quality of the services, since it reduces their ability to allocate public resources and expects them to govern the provision of eldercare through the entering of contracts. This development has also implied that service users themselves become increasingly responsible for ensuring that the quality of their care is high. Moreover, the articles show that the increased reliance on audit by the national government and its agencies has tended to undermine the professionalization of eldercare staff, thereby limiting their autonomy and ability to ensure service quality. As a whole, the dissertation contributes with a more comprehensive understanding of how marketization has altered the organization of Swedish eldercare and under what conditions it might undermine the goals of social equality and ensuring that all citizens have equal access to good quality care.

La Tunisie n’a pas échappé au mouvement universel de privatisation. Sous l’effet conjugué du poids de ses entreprises publiques, et de la dette extérieure et de la conditionnalité des bailleurs de fonds internationaux (Banque Mondiale et FMI), la Tunisie s’est engagée dans un vaste programme de privatisation. Cet ouvrage cerne les objectifs, les modalités et les enjeux qui accompagnent le processus de privatisation tunisien, en le comparant à la mise en œuvre du programme français de privatisation. Dans une seconde partie, l’étude présente les alternatives possibles aux privatisations, particulièrement les partenariats public-privé, largement diffusés de nos jours. / Tunisia has not escaped the global privatization movement. Taking into account the weight of its public companies and foreign debt and also the conditionality of international donors (World Bank and IMF), Tunisia has embarked on a vast program of privatization. This thesis work purpose is to identify the objectives, terms and stakes that conduct the Tunisian privatization process, and then comparing it to the implementation of the French privatization program. In the second part, the study describes the possible alternatives to privatization, particularly the public-private partnerships that are widely available today.

La privatisation a été identifiée comme un des phénomènes économiques les plusimportants de l’histoire récente, entre-temps la privatisation des banques a été acceptéecomme étant un des secteurs principaux de ce phénomène économique.En se basant sur l’importance de la privatisation des banques qui a lieu partout en Iran, cettethèse se divise en deux parties.Dans sa première partie, la thèse explore l’échec ou le succès de la privatisation desbanques en Iran en assumant comment la progression s’est faite durant les deux étapes deprivatisation et d’exécution, et spécifiquement afin d’identifier la combinaison de doublepropriété qui en est le résultat, ainsi que ses conséquences sur le contrôle de gestion desbanques privatisées.La deuxième partie se concentre sur la discussion concernant la condition de succèsnécessaire pour que les banques privées iraniennes continuent à fonctionner. À ces causes,la thèse essaie de localiser une compréhension des possibilités, des barrières et des limitesdes banques privatisées en particulier, et des transactions bancaires privées en général.Cette partie va également se concentrer sur les impacts de deux enjeux d’affaires de«Distribution d’actions Justice» avec la distribution 40%-50% des entreprises privatiséesparmi les déciles les plus bas du pays et « la propriété d’instituts semi-gouvernementaux »qui a formé la portion principale de la combinaison de propriété des banques privatisées.Subsidiairement, les méthodes pratiques probables proposées pour le succès des banquesprivées seront analysées en même temps que l’investigation de tout chaînon manquantprincipal, afin que le succès des banques privées en Iran continue.Cette thèse se veut originale de par son argument concernant une large étude détaillée de laprivatisation des banques en Iran, en se penchant particulièrement sur ses spécifications eten mettant en valeur la vulnérabilité et l’instabilité des banques privées dans les conditions actuelles de l’Iran, elle examine les diverses solutions qui permettraient de diluer le contrôlede gestion gouvernemental qui débouche du résultat de la combinaison de propriété desbanques privatisées, et se rendre compte de l’importance de l’entrée des investisseurs et desbanques étrangers comme étant le chaînon manquant du succès de la continuation desbanques en Iran. / Privatization has been identified as one of the most remarkable economic phenomena in recenthistory; the privatization of banks, meanwhile, has been known to be the core segment of thiseconomic phenomena.Following to the nationwide importance of bank privatization in Iran, the aim of this thesis aretwo folds.In the first part, the thesis explores the failure or success of the privatization of banks in Iranby assuming how it has been progressed at the two stages of pre-privatization and execution,specifically to identify the resulted ownership combination, and its consequences onmanagement control of the privatized banks.The second part focuses on the discussion of success condition for continuation of privatebanking in Iran. Therefore, the thesis attempts to locate an understanding of the prospects,barriers and limitations of privatized banks in particular and private banking, in general.This part also focuses on the impacts of two issues of “Justice Shares Distribution” whichdeals with distributing 40%-50% of privatized enterprises among the lowest deciles of thecountry and “semi- government institute ownership” that has formed a main portion inownership combination of privatized banks.Alternatively, the probable practical methods proposed for success in private banking will beanalyzed along with investigating any principal missing links of success continuation for theexisted private banking in Iran.The claim to originality in this thesis therefore lies in its argument about detailed cross studyof bank privatization in Iran with particular focus on its specifications, emphasizing thevulnerability and instability of private banking in the current condition of Iran, examine thedifferent solution to dilute the government’s management control due to the resultedownership combination of privatized banks and to find out the importance of entry of theforeign investors and foreign banks as the missing link in successful continuation of bankingin Iran.

Little published research has examined the post-implementation outcomes of public private partnerships for housing, specifically the Military Privatized Housing Initiative (MPHI) from the perspective of the end user, the Military Family Housing (MFH) resident. Using Mettler and SoRelle's conceptualization of policy feedback theory as the foundation, the purpose of this repeated cross-sectional study was to assess residential satisfaction pre- and post- implementation of the MPHI. The study also addressed the influence of sociodemographic factors on MFH residents' perceived residential satisfaction. Secondary data were collected using 2 Department of Defense surveys administered pre- and post-implementation. An independent-samples t test was used to examine residential satisfaction before and after implementation of the MPHI. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the influence of sociodemographic characteristics on residential satisfaction of MFH residents. Results indicated that privately-managed MFH residents were less satisfied than residents of government-managed MFH (p < .001). Results also showed that paygrade, branch of service, ethnicity/race, and having children or dependents in a household were significant determinants of residential satisfaction for government-managed MFH residents (p < .05). In privately-managed MFH, residents having children or dependents in the household was a significant determinant of residential satisfaction (p < .05). The positive social change implications stemming from this study include recommendations to policy makers to continue examination of MPHI outcomes and improve data collection consistency to ensure current housing policies are meeting the needs of military families.
