Abstract

This paper explains the concept of a city-based cultural ecosystem service, and how innovations and systematic operations management can help an international city to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Previous studies suggest that most of the PPP models focus on the operation and analysis of PPP construction projects, limited attention of the subsequent operations and management for PPP facilities. This paper thus proposed an integrated PPP management framework with the principles of Cultural Ecosystem Service (CES) and open innovation to support better operations management of PPP projects. While the management of modern PPP projects will inevitably encounter the challenges of cross-disciplinary management and service innovation in the period of operations management, Cultural Ecosystem Service Innovation (CESI) framework is useful to support the practice and continuous improvement. A real-world case of Kaohsiung Dome in Taiwan has been benchmarked and analyzed with empirical data. With in-depth expert interviews, the paper demonstrates the use of CESI framework to support business strategy and operations management for sustainable system development and shared values. Management implications were addressed to promote multiple positive feedbacks with the government, enterprises, and the general public and jointly strive to support the development of a benchmarked city.

Highlights

Due to the rapid growth of cities and the needs of quality public services with urban development, public-private-partnership (PPP) model has been increasingly used by government agencies to fund new infrastructure projects, which combines the power of private sectors to accelerate public infrastructure and services with mutual commitments
From the cumulative graph of the activities of the Kaohsiung Dome (Figures 13 and 14), it can be seen thatPPPs the accumulated graphs show positive

Summary

Introduction

Due to the rapid growth of cities and the needs of quality public services with urban development, public-private-partnership (PPP) model has been increasingly used by government agencies to fund new infrastructure projects, which combines the power of private sectors to accelerate public infrastructure and services with mutual commitments. A success of PPP project is not considered merely on the design and construction but the operations management for public services. Shared values should be considered from the standpoints of the government, company, and the people. After completing the hardware facilities of the PPP project, the private enterprise must inject a new business philosophy in management, that is, implement the business strategy of the city-based cultural ecosystem service innovation (CESI) framework to realize the PPP model of business and city development (Figure 1).
