Private And Public Sector Innovation And The Importance Of Cross-Sector Collaboration

Abstract

Innovation plays a very important role in the private sector in terms of competitiveness, and is the key to success for private businesses, helping to cut costs, improve products and open new markets. Nowadays, innovation is gaining in importance in the public sector as well, as it can improve the quality of service delivery as well as reduce costs. Innovation is an important driver of economic progress and competitiveness in all economies.Collaboration between public and private entities creates better and more effective public and private services and products. Collaboration enables the participants to exchange and share knowledge, experiences, know-how and expertise. Collaboration helps to bring a broader set of skills and talents and a more responsive work culture into public sector organisations, along with innovative thinking and creativity; it also helps private companies to innovate more effectively and to achieve their concrete goals in a more efficient way.The objective of this paper is to outline the differences and similarities between private and public sector innovation in terms of definition, driving factors, barriers and measurement; the paper also aims to examine the importance of cross-sector collaboration for private and public sector innovation, and demonstrate that collaboration can improve innovation.

Unlocking Latent Creativity with Rapid Prototyping

The same applies to the educational environment, where the introduction of rapid prototyping might induce creative behavior and create a constructive atmosphere for the development of novel ideas.…”

Governance mechanisms and collaborative value creation in cross-sector partnerships: case of NGO and business

“…The scientific literature on the analysis of collaboration and partnership issues describes the governance dimension differently: as the participative decision making (Grudinschi 2014), problem solving (Austin 2000;Crosby, Bryson 2005;Cankar, Petkovšek 2013), shared power arrangements (Crosby, Bryson 2005;Grudinschi 2014). Organizational governance describes relations between individuals and organizations.…”
