Under the supervision of Prof. Albert Chan, Robert’s paper is to develop a pragmatic model for quantifying the success of public-private partnership projects in developing countries using fuzzy set theory.The model consists of three critical success criteria groupings for PPP projects in developing countries.These include local development and disputes reduction,profit,cost and technical specifications.Practitioners in developing countries can use the success index equation to determine the success levels of their projects in a more practical and objective manner.In addition, the success of two or more PPP projects can be compared on the same basis for bench marking purposes.
