Bringing together unlikely innovators: do connective and learning capacities impact collaboration for innovation and diversity of actors?
基于比利时联邦和弗拉芒公共管理者的调查数据，研究了公共部门组织的连接能力和学习能力如何促进其参与创新合作及与多样化行动者合作。
Recent scholarly wisdom suggests that public sector organizations (PSOs) should not always innovate alone. Collaboration with diverse actors is often proposed so that more and better innovations can be developed. However, it remains unclear what capacities PSOs need in order to participate in collaborative arrangements for innovation and to collaborate with diverse innovation partners. Using survey data from Belgian federal and Flemish public managers, we show that the connective and learning capacities of PSOs contribute positively to their participation in collaborative arrangements for innovation, and to the diversity of actors with which they collaborate.
