The purpose of implementing public-private partnerships is to address the government's financial challenges and to achieve the integration of social resources through the involvement of private-sector resources. This approach aims to meet the growing needs of the public. The case that received recognition from the Golden Thumb Award, established by the Ministry of Finance, demonstrates the effectiveness of collaborative operations. However, past research on the performance of such partnerships has mostly focused on a specific period. This approach neglects the possibility that, as time passes and the environment changes or various incentives weaken, the effectiveness of these partnerships might also change. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously monitor the subsequent development of public-private partnerships. This paper selects the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium (hereinafter referred to as NMMBA) as a case study and uses 2004-the year NMMBA received the Golden Thumb Award-to distinguish between the early and later stages of the partnership. It examines how the operational performance of NMMBA has changed since receiving the award. The research findings indicate that financial benefits were indeed lower compared to the early stages of the partnership, primarily due to external uncontrollable factors that impacted NMMBA's operating revenue, leading to a decline in financial performance. As for social benefits, there was a partial increase, especially in the research and development outcomes of marine education, which showed significant improvement. However, the promotion of marine education could not be clearly evaluated. Community benefits also showed a partial increase, particularly in providing more diverse job opportunities for residents, driven by tourism activities associated with NMMBA in the later stages of the partnership. Nevertheless, there was a discrepancy in perception between NMMBA and the residents regarding the community activities organized by NMMBA, making it difficult to determine the changes in effectiveness between the early and later stages of the partnership. |
