Public Sector Entrepreneurship

Purpose of this paper Reviews the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings For many, the idea of public sector entrepreneurship will seem something of an oxymoron. The public sector, particularly in many developed countries, often suffers from a series of drab stereotypes – that everything within its institutions moves at a glacial pace, that any progress is stymied by labyrinthine bureaucracies, and that both of these factors work together to hold back creative thinking or agile solutions. In short, if you were to design a mechanism that would prevent entrepreneurship from flourishing, it would be something very much akin to this nightmare vision of the public sector. Practical implications Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world’s leading organizations. What is original/value of paper?

Originality/value – The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
