Public–private partnership meets corporate social responsibility—the case of H-JUMP school

This paper examines tripartite public–private partnerships (PPPs), a new form of partnership between the government, business, and nonprofit sectors. Partly funded by for-profit firms’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) budgets, this approach reduces a government’s costs for providing a public service. Based on a case study of the H-JUMP school, a recently-formed tripartite PPP in South Korea, the authors explore the motives of each partner organization, the key factors in making the partnership sustainable, and the partnership’s social value implications.
