Stakeholders and Critical Factors in the Brazilian Government´ s Public Private Partnerships

Abstract

This study identifies the relationship between stakeholders and critical success factors in the Brazilian Government Public Private Partnerships (PPPs). We have studied two Brazilian Government PPPs using an exploratory and descriptive qualitative approach. Stakeholders were categorized based on the Mitchell et al. (1997) and Frooman (1999) models. We have showed that i) the models are complementary since some of the most influential stakeholders are also the most powerful; ii) beyond stakeholders and critical factors already mentioned in literature, we have found one new stakeholder (UNDP) and one new critical factor (compliance with recommendations of oversight bodies). This research has a practical contribution as it identifies critical factors associated with the most important stakeholders, enabling decision makers to design a relationship strategy for dealing with such players, taking into account the factors that facilitate or hinder the PPP structuring process.[Artigo recebido em 15 de julho de 2019.

Foram estudadas duas PPPs usando uma abordagem qualitativa exploratória e descritiva. As partes interessadas foram categorizadas com base nos modelos de Mitchell et al. (1997) e Frooman (1999. Os resultados demostram que: i) os modelos são complementares já que alguns dos stakeholders mais influentes são também os mais poderosos; ii) além dos stakeholders e fatores críticos já mencionados na literatura, encontramos neste estudo um novo ator (PNUD) e um novo fator crítico (atendimento às recomendações dos órgãos de fiscalização). Esta pesquisa tem importância prática, pois identifica fatores críticos associados aos stakeholders mais importantes, permitindo que os tomadores de decisão elaborem uma estratégia de relacionamento para lidar com tais atores, levando em consideração os fatores que facilitam ou dificultam o processo de estruturação da PPP.Palavras-chave: Parceria Público-Privada, Stakeholders, Fatores Críticos Stakeholders y factores críticos em las alianzas público privadas del Gobierno FederalEste estudio identifica la relación entre los stakeholders y los factores críticos de las Alianzas Público Privadas (PPPs) del Gobierno Federal.

Identification of the Barriers and Key Success Factors for Renewable Energy Public-Private Partnership Projects: A Continental Analysis

“…Other studies in North American countries presented similar results, such as Wibowo and Alfen (2015) [53] in the United States. For South America, skilled and efficient parties followed by well-prepared contract documents, technological development, and efficient negotiations between parties were the main factors for the success of renewable-energy PPPs, which agrees with results of previous studies in South American countries by Araujo et al (2019) [54] and Menezes et al (2019) [55] in Brazil and Sastoque et al (2016) [56] in Columbia. For Australia, technological development followed by well-prepared contract documents were the main factors for the success of renewable-energy PPPs, which is consistent with the results of the study by Cheung et al (2012) [57] in Australia.…”
