“At the start of the VUB Chair in PPP,
we aim at becoming an academic point
of reference in Belgium, stimulating
multidisciplinary research in the field of
PPP and disseminating research output
over a wide network.”
E. Haezendonck, 2010

1| A word on the VUB Chair in PPP
Worldwide, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has become
an increasingly attractive procurement method for
the delivery of public services. Much of this is because
many governments consider PPPs as a win-win option
for meeting their investment needs. Nonetheless, there
is growing evidence that the practical implementation
imposes some challenges. Multidisciplinary research is
needed to capture these issues and to propose relevant
frameworks that both assist in assessing the potential of
PPP projects, as well as contribute to more effective PPP
management.
In the last five years, the VUB Chair in PPP aimed to
achieve just that and hopes to continue to do so. At the
start of the VUB Chair in PPP, we envisaged becoming
an academic point of reference in Belgium in relation to
academic research stimulating multidisciplinary research
in the field of PPP and the dissemination of the research
output over a wide network. Close collaboration with
existing networks and the interaction between business
and academics were the key success factors in carrying
out this vision.
We are very grateful to Deloitte, Grontmij and Laga for
the sponsorship of the VUB Chair in PPP. We can look
back on a period of positive and intensive collaboration,
in which we were able to make a significant step in
becoming a point of reference in research on PPPs in
Belgium.

“The VUB Chair in PPP offers a platform for
knowledge exchange and relationship building, bringing more stakeholders together for
relevant and profound PPP discussions.”

2| Short history of the VUB Chair in PPP
Both researchers and practitioners identified a pressing need for multidisciplinary research and the creation of
an excellence pool of research in the field of Public-Private Partnership (PPP). Regardless the existence of some
well-known institutions such as the ‘Vlaams Kennis Centrum PPS’, we believed that there was still a need for more
comprehensive academic research. Existing research tends to investigate PPP arrangements too much from a single
perspective (i.e., legal, economic or technical). Out of this concern the VUB Chair in PPP was born with the clear
objective of conducting and encouraging multidisciplinary research in the field of PPP.
The VUB Chair in PPP at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) started in 2010, and is sponsored by Deloitte, Grontmij and
Laga. The VUB Chair in PPP is led by Prof. dr. Haezendonck and is affiliated with three VUB faculties: The Faculty of
Economic and Social Sciences and Solvay Business School, the Faculty of Law and Criminology (RC) and the Faculty
of Engineering (IR).
Besides conducting multidisciplinary research the VUB Chair in PPP initiates, organises and participates in conferences,
lectures, workshops and other activities for and with students, academics, practitioners and the general public. The
Chair’s focus is locally, nationally and internationally oriented. Activities are organized in cooperation with the sponsors
(i.e., Deloitte, Grontmij and Laga), and occasionally in cooperation with ADEB-VBA, the ‘Vlaams Kennis Centrum PPS’
and other organisations.
Elvira Haezendonck was proposed as Chair holder by the VUB, for the period 2010-2014.
Prof. dr. Elvira Haezendonck
Prof. dr. Elvira Haezendonck (PhD in Applied Economics, University of Brussels VUB) is
senior research fellow and Associate Professor at the University of Brussels (VUB) and the
University of Antwerp (UA), with a specialization in (project) management and strategy.
She has been involved in over 50 research projects including multiple strategy analyses for
seaports, large-scale project assessments, socio-economic feasibility studies and transport
and infrastructure policy. Her teaching and academic research concentrate on (project)
management, competitive strategy, (port) strategy and corporate responsibility. She has
published various articles and books in these domains.

3| The VUB Chair in PPP research team
In order to achieve the objective two researchers and two co-promoters have further strengthened the VUB
Chair in PPP.
2 researchers sponsored by the VUB Chair in PPP
dr. Steven De Schepper studied Applied Economics: Business Engineering at the University
of Brussels (VUB). After his graduation in 2009, he became a research associate at the
department of Business. In 2010, he strengthened the VUB chair in PPP, where he conducted
a four-year study on the management of PPPs and where he obtained his PhD. in 2014. He
is also involved in a number of research projects concerning complex (mega)projects. His
interest includes various topics in the fields of strategic management of complex projects.
dr. Steven De Schepper
Geoffrey Aerts obtained his Bachelor degree in Political Science at the University of
Antwerp in 2008. In the following years he earned a Masters degree in Comparative and
European Politics, a Masters degree in Diplomacy and International Relations and a Masters
degree in Maritime and Transport Management at the Institute of Transport and Maritime
Management Antwerp. Currently Geoffrey Aerts is affiliated with the VUB Chair in PPP at
the faculty ES and Solvay Business School of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, where he works
as a research associate.
The defense of his PhD is planned early 2016.

5| Research output of the VUB Chair in PPP
The Chair’s aim was achieved through publications and doctoral research. Since the start of the VUB Chair in PPP this
included presentations at international conferences as well as publishing in a variety of international journals.
The emphasis of the Chair’s research is on the potential of PPP projects and, among others, the following topics were
analysed:
• Critical Success Factors of PPPs;
• Stakeholder management of PPPs;
• Transaction costs in PPPs;
• A qualitative success framework for PPPs;
• Capacity building for PPPs;
• Knowledge transfers from and to project teams.
• Selection of scientific publications by the Chair researchers (2010-2014)
De Schepper, S., Dooms, M., Haezendonck, E., (2014). Stakeholder dynamics and responsibilities in Public–
Private Partnerships: A mixed experience. International Journal of Project Management, 32, 1210-1222.
Although stakeholder management is seen as one of the main success factors of Public–Private Partnerships
(PPPs), to date, limited research has investigated actual stakeholder management in PPPs. After positioning
PPP in the current stakeholder management theory, a comparative case study analysis of four PPP infrastructure
projects demonstrates the relevance and importance of stakeholder inclusion in PPPs. The case study findings
indicate that a PPP makes the stakeholder environment more complex to manage, due to the increasing
importance of the stakeholder context and dynamics. Hence, allocating stakeholder responsibilities between
the public initiator and private consortium becomes problematic as it goes hand in hand with balancing
between reactive and proactive responses to stakeholder claims. In order to cope with the PPP specific
stakeholder characteristics, the use of a dynamic dual stakeholder management tool is recommended as well
as the identification of governance structures that allow the sharing and division of responsibilities between
stakeholders.
De Schepper, S., Haezendonck, E., Dooms, M., (In press). Understanding pre-contractual transaction costs for
Public-Private Partnership infrastructure projects. International Journal of Project Management.
While public entities are still increasingly interested in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), we recently observe
increasing reluctance from private partners to engage in PPP-bidding. Up-front costs that PPP bidders make
are considered too high compared to the bidding chances, and may result in fewer bidders in the future. In
this paper, we empirically analyse transaction costs of PPPs in the pre- contractual stage and compare these to
similar costs borne by private partners for traditional public procurement. Statistical analyses based on sample
of 172 public infrastructure projects enable the estimation of the pre-contractual cost burden. Based on the
study results, suggestions are made to lower these costs or to improve the cost position of the private sector, in
order to safeguard the competitive setting of the PPP market.

authorities in Flanders: an inside-out perspective. International Journal of Shipping and Transport Logistics.
This paper offers an analysis of actual stakeholder management conducted by port authorities. Drawing
from several organisation-centric stakeholder management theories, we study the conceptualisation and
the identification of stakeholders, as well as the application of stakeholder management as executed by
port authorities. By analysing the opinions of middle management, we examine whether daily stakeholder
management reflects stakeholder theory findings, emphasising the importance of attribute-based stakeholder
conceptualisation, identification and stakeholder management strategies. We also conduct a comparative
analysis, assessing the quality of the stakeholder management practice in several seaports located in the
Rhine-Scheldt Delta. The results show that actual stakeholder management practices, found at several port
authorities, convey little resemblance to the methods and theoretical findings presented in academic stakeholder
management literature.
Aerts, G., Grage, T., Haezendonck, E., Dooms, M., (in press). Public-private partnerships for the provision of port
infrastructure: an explorative multi-actor perspective on critical success factors.
Worldwide, infrastructure projects increasingly use forms of public-private cooperation in the project finance
and provision of large-scale infrastructure projects. We use a multi-actor analysis in order to explore, which
critical success factors (CSFs) are important in public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the port context, and to
what extent different stakeholders have diverging opinions on the importance of these CSFs. The results of
our questionnaire, indicate that eight CSFs are of superior importance in port PPPs: the concreteness and
preciseness of the concession agreement, the ability to appropriately allocate and share risk, the technical
feasibility of the project, the commitment made by partners, the attractiveness of the financial package, a
clear definition of responsibilities, the presence of a strong private consortium and a realistic cost/benefit
assessment. The reason for their importance is their deal-breaking character, which can lead to a total failure
of PPP projects during the early stages of project conception.
A number of other research papers are currently under review.

• PhD defense of Chair researchers
Steven De Schepper successfully defended his PhD, titled “Essays on the Success Factors of Public-Private Partnerships
in Infrastructure”, on the 28th of August 2014 under the supervision of Prof. dr. Elvira Haezendonck. About ninety
invitees, among which different leading figures of different Belgian PPP projects e.g., Diabolo, BRABO1 and the
“Oosterweelverbinding”, attended the PhD defense.
Abstract of the dissertation:
Worldwide, a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) has become an
increasingly attractive procurement method for the delivery of public
infrastructure services. Much of this is because many governments
consider PPPs as a win-win option for meeting their investing/
infrastructure needs. Nonetheless, there is growing evidence that
the practical implementation is not without (managerial) problems.
In this regard, this dissertation seeks to propose three relevant
frameworks that both assist in assessing the success potential of
PPPs, as well as contribute to a more effective PPP management.
First, the use of a dynamic, dual stakeholder management framework
and the ex-ante inclusion of stakeholders is suggested to put an
appropriate stakeholder management process in place to capture and
address stakeholder concerns more effectively. The need for such a
stakeholder framework is motivated by the finding that stakeholder
issues do not solely emerge because of a gap between stakeholder
expectations but are often the result of an imbalance of reactive and
proactive stakeholder management approaches and an absence of any
guidance on the responsibility and accountability issues surrounding
the stakeholder management of PPP projects. Second, a toolbox is
offered to aid contracting governments in estimating and controlling
ex-ante the transaction specific investments that bidders make in
the procurement of PPP projects. The necessity of such a tool is driven
by the observation that transaction costs in the procurement phase
hinder the viability of some projects in the short run, and if these
transaction costs remain high, the magnitude of these costs have the
potential to harm the public infrastructure market in the long run.
Third, a first step is made toward a conceptual ex-ante evaluation
framework that incorporates different stakeholder perspectives, as
well as the cause-and-effect relationship between success factors
and stakeholder objectives/criteria. If further operationalized,
the framework has the advantage of providing governments a set
of alternative delivery models through a tool that could aid the
(contracting) governments in optimising the chosen PPP alternative
and future PPP initiation and procurement processes.
Geoffrey Aerts will defend his PhD early 2016.
