Handbook of Innovation in Public Services, Hardcover by Osborne, Stephen P. (EDT); Brown, Louise (EDT), ISBN 1849809747, ISBN-13 9781849809740, Like New Used, Free shipping in the USIdentifying innovation as something of a buzzword without much substance, the editors' introduction begins with three flaws that have undermined the concept in public services: fuzzy or inaccurate understanding of the nature of innovation; "the positioning of innovation as a normative `good' in public policy"; and unthinking adoption of a manufacturing model that does not apply to the public services sector. Thirty-seven contributions address the context of innovation in public services, key managerial issues, e-government, collaboration and the inter-organizational context; and innovation in practice--with regard primarily to the UK's National Health Service. The two editors are affiliated as follows: Stephen P. Osborne (international public management, U. of Edinburgh, Scotland) and Louise Brown (social work, U. of Bath, England).
