With regard about the recent controversy and blame game on productivity of Public-Prnvate Partnership(PPP)projects,this study has been investigating why there may be differences in attaining innovation,perceived quality,and performance of Public-prnvate partnership initiatives across different geographic areas.For example,the study investigates a scenario where"a private company engaged in waste management will perform in Country ' A' but may not perform in Country ' B' where the task or assignment is the same as the former country.The study empirically sampled and concluded with 475 participants from the public sector,private sectors,and academia based on a survey inquiry.The study used the structural equation modeling method(SEM-PLS)for data analysis.The Results show that significant variations in the desired output of Public-private partnership initiatives are caused by factors such as;environmental dynamism followed by collaborative capacity,environment fit,and absorptive capacity respectively.Furthermore,the findings show that one partner cannot be entirely blamed for the failure of Public-private partnership initiatives.However,this study concluded that,because the highest effect on Public-private partnership productivity based on the study's data is environmental dynamism,which results from governmental activities,public actors may be more liable.This study findings are an explicit opinion of some Public-private partnership technocrats,making the conclusions more trustworthy.
