PublicationPPP in Health Care - Trending Toward a Light Model: Evidence From Italy( 2020-04-22)
;Vecchi, Veronica ;Cusumano, NiccolòLeone, Velia MariaItaly, as many other countries, adopted the design–build–finance–maintain (DBFMO) Anglo-Saxon model to build new hospitals. This model proved to be rigid, nontransparent, nonvalue for money, and unaffordable. The aim of this article is to analyze the main drawbacks of the traditional DBFMO public–private partnerships (PPP) contract applied to the health care sector, by referring to the Italian experience, and to discuss the evolutions, conceived through an inductive/deductive approach, conducted in a context of deep collaboration between academia, health care authorities, and market players to make PPP contracts more value for money, flexible, and affordable. The article provides also an example of the role of academia in closing the rigor–practice gap by supporting and facilitating an institutional change.Type: journal articleJournal: Public Works Management & PolicyVolume: 25Issue: 3 -
PublicationIs a Social Empowerment of PPP for Infrastructure Delivery Possible? Lessons from Social Impact Bonds( 2019)
;Vecchi, VeronicaSocial Impact Bonds (SIBs) have emerged in recent years as outcome-based public-private partnerships (PPP) for the delivery of welfare services, where the payment to the private operator is linked to the achievement of superior social impact. Since the traditional infrastructure-based PPP approach seems to have failed to achieve higher level of efficiency and, above all, effectiveness, this paper discusses the extent to which the SIB model can represent a reference point to innovate the PPP model by introducing more focus on outcome achievement and social value generation.Type: journal articleJournal: Annals of Public and Cooperative EconomicsVolume: 90Issue: 2 -
PublicationA literature review of collaborative platforms: exploring implications for the co-creation of public services and future directions( 2023)Collaborative platforms are increasingly recognized as a promising approach in public administration for facilitating multi-actor collaboration and co-creation of public services. However, our current understanding of these platforms and their implications for public service design and delivery is limited, hindering both theoretical development and practical application. This article presents a conceptual summary of 74 articles published between 2011 and 2021 and highlights three fundamental dimensions of collaborative platforms for co-creating public services: technological, innovation, and governance. Additionally, six key implications and considerations for public service design and delivery are identified. The findings suggest a research agenda that calls for a socio-technical integrated approach to further investigate collaborative platforms, including their outcomes, antecedents, and the relationship between platform governance and value creation in public services.Type: conference paperJournal: EURAM Conference 2023

PublicationExploring antecedent factors of co-creation in public service ecosystems: a study of local welfare platforms in Italy( 2023)
;Rotolo, AndreaLongo, FrancescoThis paper examines the potential of platforms for co-creating public services as a solution to contemporary societal challenges in welfare, using a service ecosystem perspective. The study provides a multilevel examination of antecedents to co-creation through a comparative multiple-case study of four cases of platforms developed in Northern Italy at the local level involving public authorities, private service providers, and citizens. The study finds that platforms for co-creating public services are developed not only top-down, but also middle-out and bottom-up, recognizing stakeholders' autonomy and proactive initiatives in cocreation. The study also recognizes the importance of political support and proactive citizens, social workers, and public officials in the development of platforms for co-creating public services.Type: conference paper -
PublicationDo collaborative platforms create public value in public services? An explorative analysis of privately-owned public service platforms in Italy( 2023)Zavolokina, LiudmilaThis paper explores the public value outcomes generated by collaborative platforms in public services through a comparative case study of 25 privately-owned digital platforms across various public service areas in Italy. The study confirms that collaborative digitally-enabled endeavors can have both positive and negative effects on public value, highlighting the challenges associated with multi-actor dynamics and the delicate balance between public interest and private gain in public services. The findings reveal implications related to user-centric platforms, including concerns about inclusivity, autonomy, decision-making abilities, and privacy infringement. Additionally, the study suggests that collaborative platforms alone do not enhance collaboration in public services unless accompanied by strong public governance that promotes interoperability through standardized frameworks, common templates, and data reuse.Type: conference paper

PublicationPublic Private Partnerships. Principles for Sustainable Contracts(Palgrave McMillan, 2021)
;Vecchi, Veronica ;Cusumano, NiccolòLeone, Velia MariaBy merging public and private tangible and intangible capitals, Public Private Partnerships contracts (PPP) are fundamental to generate public value and to support economic and social development; in the aftermath of Covid-19 pandemic, they prove critical to pave the way for the recovery. This book is intended to support the co-evolution of the main public and private players involved in PPP contracts for infrastructure and service delivery, by providing principles, based on the academic and professional experience of the authors, that can be applied across sectors and jurisdictions. Drawing on the framework of public-private collaborations at macro, meso and micro level, this book provides a practical perspective on the most relevant legal, financial and contractual issues of PPP contracts for infrastructure and service delivery.Scopus© Citations 4
