Open innovation in the public sector: drivers and barriers for the adoption of Challenge.gov
研究了公共部门采用在线开放式创新平台Challenge.gov的驱动因素和障碍，基于平台数据和36位公共管理者的访谈，发现系统固有障碍阻碍采纳，但创新政策与组织使命一致时能推动变革。
Online Open Innovation (OI) platforms like Challenge.gov are used to post public sector problem statements, collect and evaluate ideas submitted by citizens with the goal to increase government innovation. Using quantitative data extracted from contests posted to Challenge.gov and qualitative interviews with thirty-six public managers in fourteen federal departments contribute to the discovery and analysis of intra-, inter, and extra-organizational factors that drive or hinder the implementation of OI in the public sector. The analysis shows that system-inherent barriers hinder public sector organizations to adopt this procedural and technological innovation. However, when the mandate of the innovation policy aligns with the mission of the organization, it opens opportunities for change in innovation acquisition and standard operating procedures.
