Abstract
|
|
|
|
| When collaborating for public sector innovation, some actors are found to be more important than others to be included in the collaborative process. This chapter examines how innovative outcomes of collaborative public sector innovation projects can be explained by the network integration of its most important actors. Using social network data of three cases that aimed to develop and implement a public sector innovation it was found that actors of successful cases are better connected with each other through clique overlap when they interact outside official meetings. Moreover, the most important actors are more dispersed throughout the network in successful cases and connect the entire network with each other. This observation is only to a limited extent also found for interaction during official meetings. |
