“…Such differences perhaps reflect lack of dissemination of information which could be addressed by services. Innovation and improvement are most likely when there is greater sharing of information [27]. SSS personnel cited e-cigarettes as the most important reason for the decline in service footfall.…”

The UK Stop Smoking Services (SSS) are a source of information and advice on e-cigarettes for smokers and thus it is important to understand the knowledge of, and attitudes towards, e-cigarettes held by stop smoking practitioners. The datasets were English SSS quarterly monitoring returns (n = 207,883) and an online survey of English SSS practitioners, managers, and commissioners between 26th November and 15th December 2014 (n = 1801). SSS monitoring data suggested 2% of clients were using e-cigarettes to quit with SSS and that clients using e-cigarettes had similar quit rates to clients using Varenicline. Most SSS personnel are waiting for licenced e-cigarettes to become available before they will recommend them to clients. However, less than a quarter view e-cigarettes as “a good thing”. Managers and commissioners were more positive than practitioners. SSS personnel working for the NHS (hospitals and GP surgeries) were less positive about e-cigarettes than those employed elsewhere. E-cigarettes were cited as the most important reason for the recent decline in service footfall. Thus dissemination of information about e-cigarettes needs to be examined and services should address their stance on e-cigarettes with some urgency.

“…These factors were chosen mainly for their wide presence in the literature on innovation in PEs. They can be seen in the articles of Arduini et al (2010); Arundel et al (2015); Borins (2002Borins ( , 2001); Fernández and Wise (2010); Saari, Lehtonen, & Toivonen (2015), while the Environmental Care determinant was included due to the current importance in society as well as its scarce presence in previous articles on PEs.…”

“…This concerns the capacity that the central government has to generate or influence in the regulatory and legal framework the incentives and investments for the development of innovation at the public and private level (Agolla & Lill, 2013;Fernández & Wise, 2010;Vigoda-Gadot et al, 2008;Walker, 2008). It permits protecting public interests, when market failures exist (Saari et al, 2015), affecting the social relationships and those of power in benefit of priority sectors, making investments in traditional and technological mega-projects (Agolla & Lill, 2013;Mazzucato, 2014), structural reforms in education, training policies, entrepreneurship, fiscal policies, standardization of products/services, support to public research institutes, policies for the creation of networks and knowledge spaces, infrastructure and offer of technology (Agolla & Lill, 2013;OECD, 2010).…”

Resumen Los estudios de innovación en la actualidad no toman en cuenta o tienden a ignorar la innovación en las empresas públicas (EP) y sus efectos sobre otras organizaciones. Evidencia reciente muestra que las EP no son necesariamente inferiores a sus contrapartes privadas (Kowalski, Büge, Sztajerowska, & Egeland, 2013). Este trabajo investiga por primera vez mediante un estudio empírico los determinantes de la innovación en las EP de Ecuador. Identifica determinantes internos y externos de la innovación y su efecto en la probabilidad de innovación en EP. Además, se incluye la variable cuidado ambiental como determinante interno; esta variable no ha sido analizada en trabajos previos sobre innovación en EP. Los datos utilizados provienen de la encuesta de actividades de ciencia y tecnología e innovación de Ecuador (ACTI) publicada en el 2014. El modelo propuesto se estima mediante una regresión lineal de tipo logit. Los resultados muestran que existen determinantes que tienen efecto positivo sobre la probabilidad de innovación y que son de dos tipos: internos (trabajadores, capacitación, adquisición de tecnología y cuidado ambiental) y externos (gobierno, mediante el programa de apoyo a la gestión de calidad).

“…Implementing organizational innovations, particularly in public sector organizations, often uses top-down approaches -initiated and championed by policymakers. These do not allow for employee-initiated innovations to surface (Saari et al, 2015). Ryan et al (2008) point out the need for the inclusion of employees in decisionmaking when trying to implement public management initiatives.…”

This paper reports the use of a stakeholder‐based, bottom‐up approach to determining leadership training needs and designing leadership training programs which contrasts with the top‐down policy that is often applied. The context is a Canadian medical school. Leadership training in medicine is in its infancy. Discussed and outlined in this study are stakeholder opinions on the pillars and priorities upholding leadership development. Seventy‐seven semi‐structured interviews were conducted with stakeholder groups including Trainees, Mid‐Level University Leaders, Senior Medical Clinician Leaders, Senior University Leaders, Medical Scientists and Senior Executives and Directors external to the University. Conventional content analysis was used to group the text into common themes and then group the themes into more general categories. Five general categories emerged: formal programming, organizational support, program evaluation, skill development and participant selection. A successful training program starts with identifying the individuals most likely to benefit from such a program. It emphasizes early training, mentorship and experiential learning. Programs should focus on developing: self‐awareness, communication skills and team‐building capability. Formal training programs would be most successful if they were regularly evaluated and strongly supported by their parent organizations.
