CSFs to manage risks in energy infrastructure projects by Public-private Partnerships

Over recent years the interest in adopting public private partnerships (PPPs) has increased internationally. Many research studies have presented positive reasons for the governments and the private sector to welcome this form of procurement, rather than continue adopting the traditional options. In this study, we interviewed 36 PPPs professionals from various project companies and perspectives, and systematically examined their subjectivity by applying the principles of Q-methodology. Our research revealed three distinct types of perspectives regarding the critical success factors in PPPs risk management initiatives. Our study also found senior management support and risk knowledge management to be the most critical success factors in such initiatives.
