Trajectories of how collaborative innovation processes generate public value: insights from an open digital living lab
通过比较研究开放数字生活实验室中的九个项目,追踪了不确定性环境下公共部门管理者如何构建导航能力,将共同压力转化为创造公共价值的机会,并归纳出三种不同轨迹。
This article advances understanding of how collaborative innovation processes generate public value in contexts marked by uncertainty, open-endedness, and ambiguity. Drawing on a comparative qualitative study of nine initiatives in an open digital living lab, we adopt a dynamic perspective to trace how shared contextual pressures, institutional backgrounds, and actors’ capacities interact in generating public value over time. We process-theorize and visualize three trajectories that reveal how public sector managers build, or fail to build, navigational capacity to turn shared contextual pressures into opportunities for different forms of public value creation.
