University Project Management Case Study: PPP Infrastructure Projects

This document presents a case study analysis focusing on project management within the context of infrastructure development, specifically examining public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the Republic of Korea and renewable energy practices in China. The case studies delve into the challenges and strategies employed in these projects, including the impact of economic factors, government policies, and financial crises. The analysis explores the evolution of PPPs in South Korea, highlighting legislative changes and their effects on infrastructure development. Furthermore, the document examines China's renewable energy initiatives, including pricing mechanisms and cost arrangements, which have contributed to China's leading position in the global renewable energy market. The document provides insights into the complexities of project management in infrastructure and energy sectors, offering valuable information for students and professionals alike.

Case Study 3
Answer to Question 1
The following case study highlights the public-private-partnership (PPP) infrastructure
project. As a result of economic growth, the Republic of Korea has faced a certain number of
infrastructure issues like roads, railways, airports and seaports at the beginning of 1990 (Jeong et
al. 2016). The government has come up with public sector participation as an alternative way of
replenishing the present infrastructure. The government has started for public-private partnership
at the beginning of 1994. As a result of the financial crisis which hit in late 1997, the idea of PPP
completely fell into a slump. So, later on, the government come up with a huge amendment,
which is also called Act of Private participation (Kwon et al. 2017). The government come up
with modified law in the year 2005, expanding in the economic infrastructure.
Answer to Question 2
The public-private-partnership would ultimately enhance the ability of the government to
fund the construction of infrastructure facilities (Zhao and Luo 2017). The project merely
focused on replenishing infrastructure with the Republic of Korea. The market of PPP in the
republic of Korea has grown to a large extent. It has resulted in the development of stable and
high profitable market which supports the government. The market of PPP solidifies its position
by raising a new mode of fundraising in order to make the insufficient fund at government
funding (Jeong et al. 2016). Investment in PPP has been long term public investment does not
include any account and government regulations.

Case Study 4
Answer to Question 1
The whole planning of renewable energy practices took place in China in two phases
(years) that is 1996 to 2000 and 2000-2010. Most of the renewable energy practices were more
or less to some of the international standard (Zhao and Luo 2017). The renewable energy sector
in China boomed in no small extent, which resulted in china to have its leading position on the
global platform. It was merely seen in some of the domains that are wind power, solar, heating
and lastly hydro-power. The government also established renewable energy to fulfil all the gaps
in between cost feed in traffic paid to generators (Binz et al. 2017). The prices paid by the
consumer along with additional cost related to transmission extension.
Answer to Question 2
Under the 2005 renewable energy law, China has come up with various pricing
mechanism and cost arrangement (Zhao and Luo 2017). There is various kind of pricing scheme
for technologies. Pricing arrangement merely focuses on wind and solar, which completely
changed over the period. The modern approaches used are for geothermal and tidal power which
requires setting up the price of the project (Binz et al. 2017). It is wholly based on reasonable
price production along with cost plus a reasonable profit.
