“…This is, for instance, the case in the Netherlands (Koppenjan et al, 2020;Rijkswaterstaat, 2019;. In other regions, and especially in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs), PPPs remain very popular (e.g., World Bank, 2020; Casady & Peci, 2021;Casady, 2021). Our book can inform policymakers and planners about whether to opt for PPPs over traditional procurement and, specifically, on which performance indicators PPPs outperform traditional procurement and on which they do not.…”

“…However, informal institutions are established and transformed according to the cultural evolution over a long period and are accompanied by a wide range of social consents compared to formal institutions [37,38]. So, informal institutions suggest the direction and contents of formal institutions by the social norms of community members accumulated over a long time.…”

The traditional concept of innovation focuses on significant changes in products and services. However, today’s innovation derived from the digital economy environment is transforming our way of life, values, and even social relations. The economic benefits of the digital economy and technology have a wide range of impacts derived from the rapid socio-economic transformation. The negative impact on jobs and incomes is a typical problem that threatens socioeconomic fundamentals. This phenomenon is the reason that we must have a new perspective about innovation that connects technology, economy, society and policy beyond the traditional perspective. Based on the new perspective, this study categorizes social innovations using an expanded concept. One of them is “adaptive social innovation”, and this study focuses on its key motive and impact. In this paper, a theoretical discussion is adopted from integrating discussions in macroeconomics, social psychology, political science, etc. The key motive can be found in transformation of production, consumption, and distribution due to the digital economy. Based on this, the detailed operation mechanism of adaptive social innovation that transforms public perceptions and systems are analysed. At the same time, the process in which formal institutions and the output of adaptive social innovation, affect society and policy was explored.

“…This is a particular case in transitional economies, which lack institutional maturity and have inadequate bureaucratic quality, independence and regulatory quality, i.e. China (Zhang et al, 2015;Zhang and Xu, 2022) and Kosovo (Casady and Peci, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study aims to develop a collaborative governance framework (CGF) to systematically investigate the impeding factors (IFs) in terms of the operational sustainability of PPPs. It examines the transmission pattern (i.e. the way in which network members react to each other) of the IFs network.Design/methodology/approachLiterature review and interview were adopted to identify the IFs. Then, with the data collected from the interview in China, the social network analysis and interpretive structure model were synergised to examine the chain reaction, driving and dependent powers, and hierarchical structure of the identified IFs.FindingsThe results reveal that the cognition, institutional, financial and participation aspects are key barriers confronted by PPP sustainability, and the government plays a leading role in controlling factors causing sustainability-related problems in PPPs. Weak government leadership and institutional environment were identified as the most fundamental reasons triggering a chain of IFs, while project governance and management activities act as bridge nodes that play an intermediary role in the IFs network.Research limitations/implicationsThis research contributes to the literature on PPP governance by (1) bridging the literature gap through the development of CGF for explaining the governance of PPP sustainability with a holistic view that considers both macro environment and operational project processes; and (2) identifying the transmission pattern of IFs network which uncovers the underlying dynamics causing the unsustainable operation of PPPs.Practical implicationsThis research provides practitioners with a list of key checkpoints for preventing failure escalation, enables decision-makers to prioritise obstacle-mitigation efforts and develop a feasible process to control PPP operation, and offers management countermeasures to remove the key barriers impeding PPP sustainability.Originality/valueThis study is novel for adopting network-oriented techniques to quantify the relative importance of the IFs and examine the transmission pattern of the IFs system. Therefore, it visualises the complex underlying dynamics causing unsustainable PPP operation, identifies root and direct causes of PPP failures, and provides decision-makers with insights into sustaining PPP sustainability from a network-oriented perspective.
