L’IMPACT DES MÉDIATIONS NUMÉRIQUES SUR LE DÉVELOPPEMENT DE L’ÉCONOMIE COLLABORATIVE, SOCIALE ET SOLIDAIRE: CAS DES PARTENARIATS PUBLIC-PRIVÉ

Abstract

Impact of digital mediations on the
development of collaborative, social and supportive
economy in the case of public-private partnerships This paper addresses the question of whether
digital mediations can “melt” and “confuse” the
Collaborative Economy and the Social and Solidarity
Economy at the heart of a new paradigm that is
efficient for the territory by taking into account
a particular form, of collaboration: public-private
partnership. Given the ambiguity of the notion of
PPP, the interest of our research focuses on the
understanding of the functioning of “PPP” and the
enrichment of the available literature on the subject,
identifying on the one hand, the inherent obstacles
their training, and on the other hand, the key factors
of success ensuring their success.
This is done by focusing on the environment and
territorial well-being and identifying the effect of
the digital on this inter-sectoral combination. The
subject being little discussed, an exploratory study
was imposed on us, through a qualitative analysis
based on five semi-structured interviews with
project promoters from the two public and private
sectors and on a participant observation, realized,
in the headquarters of a multinational company
describing innovative projects in partnership with
the public side. For this purpose theoretical propositions relating to this subject have been formulated.
The results of our research show that PPPs can be
integrated into a collaborative economy in order to
satisfy a social and environmental needs. However,
these projects can not be realized without the intervention of a digital mediator to facilitate exchanges
between the partners. Moreover, it has been shown
that the sharing economy and the social and solidarity
economy can be harmonized thanks to the advent of
digital technology.
These results, as to this mode of development,
are more convincing given the research field, namely
Tunisia, a state in the renewal phase.
