Since a single study has been conducted on this issue investigating economic and administrative premises of the introduction of public-private partnership, novelty of this study is the analysis of social aspects of the development of PPP. Wherewith the focus of the study is: (1) perception of PPP policy makers whether maturity of potential partners engage in PPP and accept new forms of economic activity is sufficient; (2) the in-depth analysis of successful and failure cases of PPP passed up to the date and (3) quantitative review of predispositions, values and level of maturity of entrepreneurs. The data will provide in-sight into perception of potential partners – they will allow estimating at which point thinking of partners stands; as the result policy makers have necessary information for review of activities for support of PPP and make them more focused and targeted.
