Examining the Interrelationship among Critical Success Factors of Public Private Partnership Infrastructure Projects
Examining the interrelationships among critical success factors (CSFs) for public private partnership (PPP) projects is of importance for improving PPP project performance and maintaining the sustainability of PPP project implementation. Previous studies mostly focused on the identification of the C...
