INTRODUCTION & MOTIVATION • The PPP was launched in the UK in 1992 & initially known as the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) • PFI: A long-term contract between the private sector & the government. • Private sector plays a key rolein designing, building, financing, and operating the facilities for the provision of public services. • Government makes regular payments to the private sector provider over the contract period for the capital and operating costs incurred. • 1997, Labour government took power, PFI uses a new label: Public Private Partnership (ppp).

Research Objectives • To identify the important characteristics of research on PFI/ppp(i.e. the number of papers published, the journals that contributed most to PFI research, and the origins of the papers) • To recognise the trend of PFI/ppp research and to offer suggestions for future direction of the PFI/ppp research agenda.
Literature Review Prior studies : Adopted a qualitative meta-analysis approach on the topic of PFI/ppp ADOPT THIS APPROACH Studies that have critically examined the findings of past studies to clarify a specific concept or area of PFI/ppp Studies that have comprehensively examined characteristics and trend of published research on PFI/ppp
METHODOLOGY ADOPT THIS METHOD META-ANALYSIS QUANTITATIVE QUALITATIVE A statistical operation used to combine results from independent studies A systematic review of literature without having any mathematical synthesis
SELECTION OF JOURNALS The Social Science Citation Index The Scopus English-medium Journals categorized as public administration or public sector 42 public sector journals Only 26 journals that had published on the topic of PFI/PPP

FINDINGS AND DISCUSSION Number of PFI/ppp Articles Published Each Year from 1992 to 2010
Research Methods Used * The total is more than the number of papers analysed because there are papers that adopted more than one research method
PFI/ppp Sectors Involved * The total is more than the number of papers analysed because there are papers that addressed more than one sector
FUTURE DIRECTION OF PFI/PPP RESEARCH • Assess the actual performance and true success of PFI/ppp project over the whole contractual period • Compare the performance of PFI/ppp across countries • Discover the modified PFI/ppp procedures and assessment mechanisms
LIMITATIONS AND CONCLUSION • It ignores relevant PFI/ppp literature published in journals of other fields, such as accounting, construction, and engineering • Journals listed on Social Science Citation Index and Scopus are still questionable due to the subjective and not transparent measures used in determining journals to be listed • DESPITE THE LIMITATIONS, • This study offers some insights on the key characteristics and future direction of PFI/ppp literature in the top public-sector journals
