Public–private partnerships as instruments to achieve sustainability-related objectives: the state of the art and a research agenda
系统回顾商业与公共管理文献，评估公私合作伙伴关系（PPP）对可持续发展目标的贡献及关键成功因素，发现现有实证证据尚不充分，但指出恰当管理的PPP具有潜力，并提出未来研究方向。
The growing importance of public–private partnerships (PPPs) suggests the need to assess their contributions to sustainability-related objectives. With a systematic review of business and public administration literature, this study elaborates on whether empirical evidence indicates that PPPs are appropriate instruments to accomplish the sustainability objectives of governments and which success factors are crucial for this purpose. Results reveal that business research on PPPs rarely integrates sustainability concepts; findings pertaining to their contributions to sustainability remain inconclusive. However, various success factors show the potential of PPPs, if appropriately managed. These findings suggest an agenda for research on PPPs in the context of sustainability.
