Productive resistance in public sector innovation – introducing social impact bonds in Swedish local government
通过分析瑞典地方政府引入社会影响债券的案例，揭示了不同行动者（如顾问、投资者、地方公务员）如何通过互动、协商和新组织设置，对创新进行生产性抵抗，从而影响其本地适用性和市场潜力。
This article contributes to debates on public sector innovation by empirically analysing and conceptually unpacking organizational resistance. It is based on research following the attempts to launch a particular public sector innovation, Social Impact Bonds (SIB), in Swedish local government. Drawing on the literature on productive resistance, the analysis shows how a range of different actors, from consultants and investors to local civil servants, are entangled in interactions, negotiations and new organizational settings. The study concludes that SIB, beyond dichotomies, such as resistance/compliance, is continuously circumscribed, widened, reformulated and reassembled to grow the potential market and increase the local applicability.
