N2  - This thesis answers the question if necessary or sufficient conditions, or configurations of conditions can be found to explain the presence of technical product and process innovation in public-private infrastructure projects. The conditions accounted for are the deployment of public project management, the procurement result and the consortium composition. A Qualitative Comparative Analysis is used in order to assess these conditions. Hypothesized is a relation between a high deployment of stakeholder and technical management and the occurrence of innovation. However, no evidence for this is found in the research. The consortium composition does turn out to have a strong relation with the occurrence of innovation, where consortia with fewer relatively small firms stimulate it. However, the most important conclusion of this thesis lies not in the separate conditions. Surprising results are found if the focus shifts from hypothesizing single conditions, towards assessing configurations of conditions in analyzing drivers for innovation.
