Review of the Relationship Management Strategies for Building Flood Disaster Resilience through Public–Private Partnership

Abstract

Relationship management is critical in public–private partnership (PPP), especially when the PPP concept is adopted to build community flood disaster resilience. In this regard, this study aims to conduct a systematic review to explore the relationship management strategies for using public–private partnership to build community flood disaster resilience. A systematic literature review was conducted to retrieve relevant publications related to the subject area. Through a thorough three-stage search using Scopus, a total of twenty-nine relevant journal articles were selected for analysis. From the review, a total of twenty-eight individual relationship management strategies for building community flood disaster resilience using PPP were derived. These strategies were put into six categories based on their individual meaning and relation to other factors; these include effective communication, legal and coordination, knowledge co-production, monitoring and evaluation, social initiatives, and consistent funding. Further, a conceptual framework was developed using a meta-governance approach, in which a four-step process is proposed to make the derived relationship management strategies actionable. The outputs of this study will be impactful for future empirical investigations on the use of PPP in building flood resilience.

Navigating the landscape of public–private partnership research: a novel review using latent Dirichlet allocation

“…The necessity of investigating resilience and sustainability in PPP frameworks, especially in disaster management (Bajracharya et al, 2020;Osei-Kyei et al, 2023), is a prime area where the synergy of LDA and bibliometrics is evident. LDA helps in pinpointing relevant themes and patterns pertaining to resilience and sustainability, while bibliometrics offers a longitudinal view, tracking how these themes have developed and gained prominence over time.…”

A Study on the Impact of Team Interdependence on Cooperative Performance in Public–Private Partnership Projects: The Moderating Effect of Government Equity Participation

“…The government and social capital cooperation model (public-private partnership model) is a long-term infrastructure and public services partnership [1][2][3]. Usually, social capital is responsible for designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining most of the infrastructure and obtaining a reasonable return on investment through "user fees" and, if necessary, "government fees"; government departments are responsible for price and quality control of infrastructure and public services to ensure maximum public benefit.…”

“…However, public-private partnership projects depend on sincere cooperation between the two sides of the transaction, and their core interest lies in achieving the investors' interest return claims while accomplishing the project's engineering objectives. The realization of engineering objectives and interest return depends on the virtuous synergistic behavior between each other during the implementation of PPP projects [2,14].…”

“…Over the decades, scholars have conducted numerous studies on the advantages of PPPs. However, the sustainability of PPPs is the most critical aspect [2,3]. Due to the inconsistency of tasks among PPP project teams, there is less interaction among team members, which may lead to compromised team performance and, ultimately, the sustainability of the PPP team and the project.…”
