“…The Delphi method as an iterative forecasting process is characterized by three key features (Dickey andWatts 1978): anonymity of respondents, iteration with controlled feedback, and statistical response. Of course, there are different ways to conduct a Delphi survey-through committee meetings, conferences and seminars, mail and e-mails, and conference telephone calls (Linstone and Turoff 2002;Chan et al 2001;Rixon et al 2007). In this study, remote participants located across China were consulted through e-mails.…”

During the past decades in China, the traditional state monopoly has experienced difficulties in meeting the huge demand for new infrastructure and improvement in service levels, engendering the growth of different forms and degrees of private sector involvement. Since the 1990s, China has started experimenting with the public-private partnership (PPP) delivery method in the water supply sector. However, many problems stemming from unsuccessful risk management have been encountered in PPP applications that have eventually led to project failure. This paper aims to identify and evaluate typical risks associated with PPP projects in the Chinese water supply sector. A literature review, a Delphi survey, and face-to-face interviews were used to achieve these objectives. Finally, a register of 16 critical risk factors (CRFs) of water PPP projects in China was established. The findings revealed that completion risk, inflation, and price change risk have a higher impact on Chinese water PPP projects, whereas government corruption, an imperfect law and supervision system, and a change in market demand have a lower impact on the water supply sector. The findings can help project stakeholders to improve the efficiency of privatization in public utility service and provide private investors with a better understanding while they participate in the enormous Chinese water market through the PPP mode.

“…One interesting finding of this study is the concept of stakeholders consultation in public ICT projects. The benefits of stakeholder consultations include developing acceptance and trust amongst the stakeholders; developing a sense of ownership and a reduction of disputes amongst the stakeholders (Rixon et al, 2007;Cleaver, 1999). Since the project was meant to serve the general public and especially the disadvantaged community, that made them primary stakeholders of high importance in the project.…”

This paper reports on a study that uses the Stakeholder Management Theory to analyse the implementation of a pilot phase of public access project, the Smart Cape Access Initiative, a Cape Town City Council e-government initiative. Data for the study was gathered through in-depth interviews with individuals who were involved, influenced and were affected by the implementation of the pilot project. The study identified the major stakeholders of the project and assessed their importance and influence on the project. Numerous interactions between the stakeholders were identified. It was further noted that no formal stakeholder management was undertaken at the identification and planning stages of the project lifecycle. In addition, results showed that there were missed opportunities for appropriate stakeholder management throughout the project. This study offers insights into agencies involved in planning and running public access projects.
