Abstract

Objective of the study: Identify the state of the art of scientific research on the topic of technology in public-private partnerships (PPP) studies.

Methodology/approach: The methodology is based on a bibliometric study (Mukherjee et al., 2022) using knowledge discovery tools (Zhang et al., 2021) and network analysis (Wang et al., 2018).

Originality/Relevance: This paper brings to light the technology theme in PPP studies using a current methodology and with the support of knowledge discovery software.

Main results: This paper presents the main authors, institutions, references, the distribution of the knowledge base in the world, and trending topics for future studies on technology in PPP studies.

Theoretical/methodological contributions: It presents the trend of studies on PPP and technology: (i) PPPs integrated with the development of countries with a focus on solving social, economic, and environmental problems; (ii) investment partnerships and financing-based projects; and (iii) efficiency and effectiveness of partnerships and their relevance to society. As a methodological contribution, it was found that the triangulation of research resources (bibliometrics-knowledge discovery-network analysis), besides being viable, enriches the data framework and facilitates analysis.

Social contributions/to management: This study presents the knowledge base on technology in PPP studies that can become a strategic asset for organizations that, among their objectives, intend to adopt the collaborative PPP strategy for their technological advancement.
