Abstract

This study is set out to explore the attitudes of concessionaires and government officials in the implementation of BOT in Kuwait. To achieve this objective, a questionnaire has been distributed to concessionaires and government officials, in which they were requested to state to what extent they agree or disagree with the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) of implementing the BOT projects. The results of analyzing their responses revealed that there is an agreement between both parties toward the significant factor of favorable project management as CSFs of implementing the BOT projects. However, while the concessionaires raise stable political situation and appropriate project identification as priority, government officials give priority to the social responsibility represented by public safety and training local staff. Finally, the failure of BOT projects generates a loss to both parties, public and private sector, while the success requests a rational mission of both parties toward projects as well as government support as one of the CSFs for BOT project.
