...ownership. It can be distinguished from other undertakings on the basis of its ownership, management and control. According to Wheeler, a business undertaking is a concern, company or enterprise which buys and sells, is owned by one person or a group of persons and is managed under a specific set of operating policies". Thus, a business undertaking may be defined as an organisation operating under separate ownership, management and control and carrying on any business activity with independent risk- bearing. All business undertakings are directly or indirectly engaged in the transfer or exchange of goods and services for value. They deal in goods and services on a regular basis. Their main motive is to earn profits and they are exposed to various types of risks. Characteristics of a Business Undertaking The basic features of a business undertaking are as follows: 1. Separate identity: Every business undertaking has a separate identity. It has a distinct name and separate existence. Its assets and liabilities are independent of the other undertakings. Its accounts are separate from those of the persons who own it. 2. Independent ownership: A business undertaking is owned by the persons who contribute its capital. The owners may be private individuals or the government. Every business undertaking thus has an independent unit of ownership. 3. Independent management: The form...

...23INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT International Journal of Project Management 24 (2006) 587–594 www.elsevier.com/locate/ijproman Role of public private partnerships to manage risks in public sector projects in Hong Kong Li-Yin Shen a a,* , Andrew Platten b, X.P. Deng c Department of Building and Real Estate, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong b Elevate East Lancashire, Accrington, England, UK c School of Civil Engineering, South East University, PR China Abstract The clients of public sector works have an obligation to ensure that the large scale investment in public works is effective and can achieve improvement in social and economic performance. However, construction activity is usually subject to more risk than other business activities because of its complexity particularly in coordinating a wide range of disparate and interrelated skills and activities. This complexity is further compounded in implementing public sector projects where multiple project objectives are expected by a wide range of stakeholders who have different interests associated with the projects. With reference to current practice in Hong Kong, this paper examines the major risks in implementing public sector works, and the ways that the application of public private partnership (PPP) can help to manage risks in project delivery. The example of Hong Kong Disneyland (KDLD) demonstrates how various major risks in committing to a PPP project are...

Public health facilities have experience various cases of mismanagement and they have been unable to handle the increasing and changing demands towards health care (Dunn et.al, 2007). The private health institutions are considerably managed in an admirable manner because most owners treat them as an investment hence leading to the usage of strategic management in the running of these private health care centers. The public health care centers have less levels of accountability because of laxity by the funding authorities in instituting better management teams. Most public health care centers are managed by trained...

In the design of PFI projects, the assessment of risk, and who is best able to manage it, needs to be carefully considered. Using data from government reports and case examples in the British public sector, this article explores aspects of procurement including, among other things, due diligence, public sector comparators, and the consequences of taking back the responsibility for delivering the service (taking back risk). PFI contracts can deliver better value for money than traditional methods of procurement if risks are transferred to the parties best able to handle them.

...CHAPTER TWO LITERTURE REVIEW INTRODUCTION Reading the news papers, listening to news on the various electronic media, one cannot dispute the fact that Internal Controls in public sector work places are very less than standard satisfactory. The work places in this country appear to be characterized by immoral acts such as selfishness, greediness, misconduct, falsification of accounts, bribery and abuse of power. The result is that people have no confidence in the public sector organization in which they work. Attitudes associated with behavior such as anyone who is wealthy and successful is suspect. In public mind, a person becomes wealthy by cheating the public who is the tax payer. According to Woode, a person becomes wealthy by cheating the tax man through evasion and exploiting his labor force and price rifling. Immoral behavior involves people at all levels of organization such as artisans, professionals, managers, employers and even the executives. Internal controls are moral principles or beliefs of what is right or wrong. This belief guides individuals in their dealings with others and groups especially stakeholders (management and employees) and provides a basis for deciding whether behavior is right or wrong. Internal Controls helps people to determine moral response to the situation in which the best course of action is unclear. Internal Controls goes beyond rules or what the law says but rather is the accepted norms of a particular society. Thus, how to...

...(NSP) there are 10 National Critical Infrastructure (NCI) sectors. Federal, provincial and territorial governments are collaborating to provide policies, directive, knowledge, and funds to protect these 10 NCIs, as a disruption to them will have a severe impact on national security. However, the education sector is not listed as an NCI, which leaves education sector and significant portion of Canadians under protected. This paper introduces the research and provides a discussion on the contextual background of the research concerns and problem statement. It will identify the research problem and supporting research questions, and conclude with a list of recommendation. Contextual Background Critical Infrastructure (CI) is the lifeblood of Canada, and the high availability, reliability, integrity and confidentiality of the CI is paramount in maintaining the sovereignty, national security, and economic health and wellbeing of the Canadian society. The education sector should be created as a separate NCI because recent reports and studies emphasize that education must be a national security matter (Council on Foreign Relations, 2012). Hence, the failure of education sector can pose significant threats to national security and economic growth. Problem Statement According to Statistics Canada, there are approximately 15,500 schools (elementary and secondary), 163 public and private universities, and 183 recognized public colleges and institutes. Provinces and territories reported...

...PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS AT THE BRAZILIAN AIRPORTS ANDRÉ SOUTELINO Lawyer. Bachelor‟s degree: Law, Universidade Cândido Mendes (2004). Post-graduation in Private Law, Universidade Federal Fluminense (2007). Master‟s Student in Economic Law and Development– research project: Regulation, Competition, Innovation and Development. e-mail address: andrelds@unisys.com.br. ABSTRACT This paper explains the reasons for investments on infrastructure by the private sector. Today, there are prisons, water supply, roads, airports and other activities that request a high investment managed by the private sector. It can be done through concessions, privatization or public-private partnerships (PPP). About the private investments on airports, ICAO has allowed the less interference by the states at the airport administration. So, this paper proposes to demonstrate that the application of public private partnership at Brazilian airports is worthwhile. KEY WORDS: airport; privatization; public private partnerships Electronic copy available at: http://ssrn.com/abstract=1506109 INFRASTRUCTURE The definition of infrastructure varies from country to country and in the doctrinal field. As for the countries, governmental policy defines what is basic, essential and crucial for the development of the nation. The doctrine splits infrastructure into economic and social, being subdivided into hard and soft (Grimsey & Lewis, 2004). Economic infrastructure is considered the one providing intermediate...

...PROJECT MANAGEMENT Introduction Many definitions had been given to project by different authors, due to the fact that project is a multidisciplinary word that has different meaning from different perspective and orientations. Engineers, Architects, Managers and so on, have their definitions coined out from their experiences as far as their professions are concerned. Project according to Project Management Institute, PMI, (2006) cited in Pinto (2007) “is a temporary activity or endeavor undertaken purposely to create a unique output (product or service) within budget, time and standards. Turner and Muller (2003) in their own words defined project as “an organization of human materials and financial resources in a novel way, to undertake a unique scope of work, of given specification, within constraints of cost and time, defined by quantitative and qualitative objectives so as to achieve a beneficial change”. The uniqueness of project is pointing to its genuine nature in the sense that there may not be a pre-existing blue print for the project’s execution and there may not be a need to repeat the project once completed. Its goal characteristics may be well perceive as achieving stated objectives or solve a particular problem, while its temporary nature signifies a discrete, definable commencement and conclusion. Project management on the other hand, according to Abbasi and Al-Mharmah (2005) “is the art and science of planning, designing and managing work throughout all the phases...
