Innovation and organization: a polyorganizational approach

• Gruber, M

Abstract

The diffusion of innovations in the social sector is discussed. A multiorganizational perspective is taken, with emphasis on the role of government as a major promoter, retriever, and disseminator of new knowledge and social innovation. Factors that impede innovation dissemination are examined. These include systemic disjunctures, intrinsic characteristics of social innovations, organizational characteristics, and communication screening. More effective management orientations and information transfer mechanisms are proposed. (Journal abstract, edited.)
