Given the myriad of factors that influence the participation of social capital in PPP projects, in this study, we examine 14,038 PPP projects from the China Public‒Private Partnership Centre (CPPPC) database. We aim to construct an ensemble learning-based prediction model for the financability of PPP project by selecting 61 feature variables across four dimensions, namely, project characteristics, local government, the market environment, and macroeconomics. The experimental results demonstrate that the dragonfly algorithm effectively improves model prediction accuracy through the reduction of feature dimensionality. From a feature combination perspective, the combinations related to the project itself, local government, and macroeconomic factors exhibit superior predictive performance than other combinations. Among the relevant factors, the project's intrinsic characteristics exert the most significant impact on social capital participation in PPPs, followed by local government factors. Notably, the inclusion of market environment variables tends to decrease the level of model accuracy, except when considering the project's intrinsic characteristics in isolation. Thus, a dynamic approach is recommended to capturing instantaneous variables such as the market environment is recommended for enhancing model performance. Additionally, social capital should rely on an assessment of the financial capacity of local governments to ensure effective PPP outcomes.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721524000061/pdfft?md5=55b6076bdecf6c893b6b54270e51eddf&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721524000061-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140309206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on an in-depth case study about the Lyon-Turin trainline, we identify two distinct narrative ideal-types: hedonic narrative and instrumental narrative. Our findings demonstrate that these strategies influence both rational thinking (sense) and emotional engagement (sensibility). Hedonic narratives can have a negative impact on citizens’ attitudes by making them feel uncertain and consequently leading them to oppose the project, while instrumental narratives can have positive impact on citizens’ attitudes by making them informed and consequently leading them to supporting the project. Therefore, our findings highlight the significance of employing different narrative strategies, and the different effects of mobilizing the different narrative strategies vis-a-vis megaprojects in two institutional contexts.

The widely preferred institutional logic of low-cost bidder causes quality-related issues and poor revenue generation in the operations and maintenance phase. Therefore, the present research aims to evaluate bidder selection using the cost of quality principles. The research framework based on the cost of quality is formulated, and the risk of bidder selection associated with the cost of quality and revenue generation is assessed using @risk simulation software. The revenue generation of the facility is simulated with bid price and cost quality and subsequently validated using a case of a public-private partnership water supply project of Latur City in India. The research contribution entails that bidder selection based on price can be undertaken, provided the bidder has demonstrated evidence of the investment in the cost of quality. The research has demonstrated that the bidders possessing the larger water augmentation capacity and lower cost of quality expenditure are more likely to generate higher revenue than the competing bidders. Therefore, the bidder selection based on price alone will not yield adequate revenue generation during water operations and maintenance phases of water supply projects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"5 ","pages":"Article 100116"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666721524000012/pdfft?md5=3c4e64b452f32cb0e628c1c0bbad04e0&pid=1-s2.0-S2666721524000012-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139539434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The investigation uses a case analysis of Lagos-Ibadan Highway and was divided into two stages: the 1999–2009 political era and the 2010–2019 political era. The information was gathered through document and report analysis. The symptomatic investigation of the political corruption of the Lagos-Ibadan Highway was guided by a conceptual model based on symptoms. Within-case and cross-case comparative theme analysis were performed on the dataset. The investigation indicated how the occurrence of patronage, influence peddling, embezzlement, and biased law enforcement can explain political corruption in the highway project. The investigation resulted in a better understanding of the reasons for the project's failure and abandonment. The knowledge can be used to prevent political corruption in public projects and to lay the groundwork for long-term infrastructure development.
