Inter-Organizational Collaboration and the Public Sector Innovativeness – the Case of Poland
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Management - Year 2013, Vol 12, Issue 3
Abstract
[b]Background. [/b]Innovations in public management tend to be defined as creative ideas put into practice by management seeking to resolve persistent problems that are faced while pursuing the public interest. Inter-organizational collaboration fuels the effective accomplishment of ventures launched within organizations and is regarded as one of the methods for creating and implementing innovations. [b]Research aims. [/b]Therefore, the overarching objective of this paper is to investigate the correlations between inter-organizational collaboration and the creation of organizational innovations.[b]Method.[/b] The paper was drawn from literature studies and empirical research. It gives an insight into the requirements for inter-organizational collaboration in public management with an emphasis on creating innovations. Literature studies were partly illustrated using empirical findings from research conducted in 2010 in commune offices located in the south of Poland (in the Małopolskie province). [b]Key findings.[/b] Surveys were carried out which led to the affirmation that the needs and benefits, in terms of creation of innovations as part of inter-organizational collaboration in public management, attained visibility and recognition, although common practice within local government units fails to reaffirm this. Different replies to the implementation gaps of inter-organizational collaboration have been rendered, but there was no conclusive answer about how to achieve implementation.
