The importance of public-private partnership gradually increases is supported by rich local and international literature. However, there is a lack of research regarding the influence of public and private sectors during the partnership. Therefore, this paper studies winners of the 1st to the 10th Golden Thumb Awards. Literature review established four observatory aspects - organizational culture, organization structure, management style, and organizational members’cognition. This study is supported with data gathered from a questionnaire and in-depth interviews to understand the actual influence of public and private sectors during the partnership. Research found the following: first, on organization culture, though it had limited impact on the public sector, somehow its representatives began to put themselves into others’shoes; representatives of the private sector made efforts to adapt to and understand public sector thinking and operations to sustain the contract. Second, on organization structure, the public sector is constrained by regulations and so is less flexible; the private sector is are rather flexible in establishing new entities. Third, on management style, though the public sector allows for a certain amount of flexibility, the private sector tends to suppress innovation and increase control to coordinate with the public sector which in turn affects partnership performances. Fourth, on organizational members’cognition, the public sector mainly is limited to entry level and mid-level managers whereas the private sector has high-level managers. As those affected in the public sector are not decision makers, they cannot respond rapidly to the requests or difficulties faced by managers in the private sector. Therefore, it is difficult to have significant achievement with respect to change or innovation in the partnership system. |
