Overview
New Public Management (NPM) was a real intellectual revolution according to Hood (1991) through its promotion of a new model of public governance (Osborne et al., 2010). It aimed in particular at integrating innovation, creating a closer link between public organizations and their users, or “customers”, and promoting the transformation of these organizations. Innovation is considered as the key element of good governance and promoted to cope with the bureaucratic issues. Innovation is perceived as an antidote against administration deficiencies, whereas it enables the construction of a new process and a collective capacity aiming at reducing non-desirable consequences that would otherwise result from bureaucratic problems.
Innovation has spread around the world from the private sector to governments and public service organizations. It has increasingly become a leading topic in political and administrative discourse, innovation is now widely seen as a promising driver of public service improvement (Damanpour and Schneider 2009; Walker 2006).
The heated debate on the real potential of innovation within modern governments arises from the awareness that current design of public policy and implementation are likely to produce an alarming social and public value decline as well as administration shortcomings. This point is particularly relevant when considering the important role citizen trust in government plays in shaping not only accountability, but also citizen responses to innovation. All told, the complex relationship between innovative activity and public service performance, which is of great theoretical and practical interest.
This conference addresses multifaceted dimensions of innovation and governance, reflecting the diverse efforts and experiences of different societies in improving performance and accountability. Theoretical and empirical papers, particularly comparative studies across different cities either in the same or different countries, are encouraged.
