Thomas S. Konrad analyzes the management control design and reveals critical success factors of
strategically oriented public-private partnerships for development between international
governmental actors and the private sector. He builds a sound basis for the identification of a
research gap and the derivation of research questions. The results generate sufficient evidence
to answer these questions and therefore to close the identified research gap. Finally he
excelled in the discussion of the results by making a contribution of theory and by providing
substantive recommendations to practitioners equally well.
