Introduction

Abstract

This doctoral study makes a contribution to the area of accounting research in the context of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), placing the focus on Management Control (MC). It investigates empirically characteristics and designs of MC in PPPs for development as well as their critical success factors (CSFs). While these PPPs usually involve and/or affect various stakeholders, such as civil society and national governments, the research focus is narrowed to the collaboration between private sector and international governmental actors in the field of partnerships for development.
