For too long the prevalent view has been that the public and
private sectors differ dramatically when it comes to innovation.
This book takes a radically different tack, not as a rhetorical
stance, but as the basis for fruitful empirical analysis. The
studies here show that public service organizations and their
leaders can be innovative in their own right. The contributions
made here provide insights that will productively inform future
research and practice.' - Ian Miles, University of Manchester,
UKThis book is devoted to the study of public-private innovation
networks in services (ServPPINs). These are a new type of
innovation network which have rapidly developed in service
economies. ServPPINs are collaborations between public and private
service organizations, their objective being the development of new
and improved services which encompass both technological and
non-technological innovations. The book presents in-depth empirical
research from different service sectors across Europe in order to
explore the nature of these public-private collaborations. It
elucidates the processes of formation, entrepreneurship and
management, the types of innovations ServPPINs generate, and the
nature of the public policies required to support them. This
multidisciplinary book will appeal to academics and students in
economics, management, and the sociology of services and
innovation. Managers in the public and private service sector and
public authorities will also find much to interest them.
