Abstract:
The talk will discuss Public Value Innovation (PVI) as an important way forward in the increasingly heterogeneous world of societal-based innovation challenges, with implications for theory, policy, and practice. The discussion will outline some important themes for future PVI research: 1) the distinctive nature of PVI and theoretical integration with other socially oriented innovations; 2) ecosystems; 3) resources and capabilities; 4) culture and work processes; 5) business model innovation; and 6) measurement. These themes will be developed into a series of promising research questions on PVI, complemented by suggestions regarding data and methodological approaches that can suit future research on PVI.
