Insbesondere im Bemühen um die Angleichung der Lebensbedingungen der Weltbevölkerung und um grenzüberschreitend funktionierende Infrastruktur werden die Quellen für Infrastrukturfinanzierung zunehmend internationalisiert und in stärkerem Umfang als bisher privates Kapital und Know-how herangezogen. Damit wachsen die Anforderungen an die Effektivität und Effizienz von Infrastrukturmaßnahmen sowie an Standardisierung und verbesserte Transparenz von länder- und sektorspezifischen Organisationsmodellen. Der vorliegende Aufsatz stellt einen Ansatz vor, mit dem etablierte Organisationsmodelle der Infrastrukturversorgung auf grundlegende, allgemein bekannte Strukturelemente zurückgeführt werden, um damit ihre Funktionsweisen und Wirkungen besser beschreiben und vergleichen zu können. Grundlage dazu ist ein in langjähriger Forschung entwickelter „Baukasten“, der neben diesen Strukturelementen auch die geeigneten Werkzeuge für ihre Gestaltung und Beurteilung beinhaltet. Dieser wurde in Teil I des Beitrags beschrieben. In Teil II wird nun seine Anwendung am Beispiel der gängigen deutschen Organisationsmodelle erläutert und getestet.

Im Anschluss an eine kurze Vorstellung des Bau- und Werkzeugkastens wird seine Anwendung am Beispiel der gängigen deutschen Organisationsmodelle erläutert und getestet. Der Aufsatz erscheint in zwei Teilen. Der folgende erste Teil beschreibt die Zielsetzung, die Methodik, die theoretischen Grundlagen sowie die grundlegende Struktur des Baukastens und stellt die sechs Teilmodelle eines Organisationsmodells vor.

After finishing the university, students usually do not know what to do. Most of them cannot find a job. Based on our mentality, working is considered by the student an employment with a salary, mainly in public sector or in private sector based on the diploma university. If this does not function, the graduated student calls him/herself unemployed and does not hope for his future. Salary employment is not and cannot be the only solution in everyone’s life. If a student is graduated and cannot find a job based on a salary, he/she may use his/her abilities about entrepreneurship that he/she has learnt at university. To be self-employed does not need the condition o having a diploma in economic studies. Everyone that has a diploma and who does not have a job based on a salary, may be a successful self-employed. A very important role is the entrepreneurship learning during studies. Such an education would be necessary for all the students in all university branches. To know how much our students know about entrepreneurship and which are their needs in relation to the entrepreneurship, there are analyzed and concluded questionnaires and interviews with 283 students of Education Sciences in “Aleksandër Xhuvani” University, Elbasan.

Amidst increasingly constrained public budgets and inadequate service delivery, private sector participation through public private partnerships is increasingly being used as a means for delivering physical infrastructure. The government of Uganda, which is currently grappling with a crippling electricity power deficit, has over the years, pursued a number of strategies to encourage private sector participation in the electricity sector, but with limited success. This paper presents the findings of research into the relative importance as perceived by sector stakeholders, of factors that hamstring private sector participation in the development of hydropower generation facilities through public private partnerships in Uganda. The stakeholders considered in this paper are those representing the government and private sector entities in the development of the partnerships. A review of literature and project documents enabled the identification of relevant factors. Data was collected from the respondents by means of a self administered structured questionnaire and quantitative methods used for data analysis. Key findings from the research indicate that the respondents regarded the regulatory and legal frameworks as being attractive for private sector participation and this business environment is further enhanced by their confidence in the government’s commitment to honour its contractual obligations. In contrast, difficulties in structuring and obtaining finance together with issues over the cumbersome approval process and resistance from environmental groups were identified as the most significant constraints to the development and implementation of public private partnerships in the Ugandan electricity sector. Recognizing the importance of an adequate and reliable supply of power in Uganda, as in so many other sub-Saharan countries, it is anticipated that the identification of the relative importance of the constraints as perceived by stakeholders, will inform the process of developing measures and strategies to mitigate the constraints thus facilitating the speedy implementation and deal closure of public private partnership initiatives with the ensuing benefits.

What are e-government success factors for using public-private partnerships to enhance learning and capacity development? To examine this question, the authors developed a comparative case analysis of the development of the Business Reference Model (BRM), a national-level e-government initiative to promote shared information services, in the U.S. federal government and the Korean central government. The results indicate institutional arrangements deeply affect the outcomes of knowledge transfer. The study shows that private sector partners in both countries played various roles as “brokers” of information technology (IT) knowledge between government and the private sector by: raising awareness of the necessity of the BRM; providing best practices; developing pilot projects; and developing implementation strategies. However, the study finds that the two countries took entirely different approaches to working with non-governmental organizations in BRM development with implications for project success and lessons for e-government success. The study is meant to deepen understanding of the embeddedness of public-private partnerships in institutional contexts and the implications of such institutional arrangements for knowledge sharing on e-government success. The study examines knowledge transfer in the context of similarities and differences in partnership structures across two advanced industrialized countries with leading roles in e-governance.

There are many differences between entities in the public and private sectors engaged in emergency management: vision, mission, goals, and objectives are only a few. To develop workable public private partnerships requires an understanding of these differences. This understanding will then provide a foundation for establishing unambiguous agreements within which each sector's roles and responsibilities are clear, and within which all entities can be successful. This chapter explores the differences between public and private sector entities, which can create gaps in understanding and communication, comparing and contrasting these differences; then, it evaluates ways the resulting gaps between entities and within public private partnerships can be closed. Comparison of the respective backgrounds and perspectives provides the material necessary to complete a gap analysis. Anecdotal information is provided that illustrates how the differences between public and private sector entities support, hinder, or manifest in public private partnerships.

This chapter highlights the role of technology-based universities in public-private partnerships (PPP) to strengthen and deploy the digital single market strategy. Moreover, it analyzes how these collaboration channels have link knowledge management as a tool for sustainable collaboration. Given the need to establish collaboration channels with the private sector, according to Lee, it is critical to establish the impact of sharing sophisticated knowledge and partnering at the same time. This chapter wants to highlights two relevant aspects of PPP: on the one hand, the importance of integrating the participation of a technology-based university with three objectives: (1) the coordination, (2) the funding management, and (3) the dissemination of results; and the other hand, the participation private sector that is represented by agile agents capable to execute high-value actions for society. With the recognition of these values, the investment and interest of the projects under way are justified by public-private partnership.

This chapter furthers the exploration of surveillance in India against the background of the Snowden revelations and WikiLeaks by focusing specifically on the role played by the private sector in the extension of surveillance, often through public–private partnerships. It explores the political economy of the surveillance industries in India against the power of ‘code’ and ‘algorithmic power’. It highlights the role played by transnational search and social networks such as Google and Facebook, and the nature of the power to control affective behaviour. It also deals with the use of code in India’s leisure industries and illustrates Polanyi’s ‘double movement’ in the use of code by communities in India as an expression of its democratization.
