Drivers for public sector contests

Published: 22 October 2012 Publication History

Abstract

This study investigates the use of technology-enabled open innovation practices in public sector agencies. It draws on theories from the corporate sector and empirical data collected from government agencies in the U.S. federal government. Based on preliminary insights from public managers responsible for the design of challenges and prizes as an innovative form of open innovation we derive an open innovation research framework. The main factors influencing the decision to adopt an open innovation approach in the public sector include organizational, project, and individual level factors.
