Public service innovation is the primary key to good governance development launched in most countries in the world, including Indonesia. There have been many innovative programs carried out by several Ministries, Institutions, and Local Governments in practice. Still, there is no comprehensive portrait related to the tradition of public service innovation. The study aims to obtain a complete description of the public service innovation practices in 2020 using indicators of innovators, types of innovation, goals and achievements of innovation, policy sector and geographical aspects. This descriptive-explorative research type applies an archival method that focuses on secondary data usage, and the results are then analyzed using both Nvivo 12 and SPSS. The result shows that: (1) Innovators are dominated by local governments because the scope of service issues is more varied and specific. (2) The type of policy innovation that is oriented to the process aspect dominates the proposed proposal because of the ease and implementation factor. (3) Most innovation outcomes are in problem-solving, which shows the orientation to problem-solving that is more practical and real impact. (4) The health sector is getting more attention in policy innovation because of the trend of actual needs in the field, making it the primary sector. (5) The institution participants in Java island are much higher than outside Java, showing the imbalance in the quality of human resources

Abstract This paper aims to develop a coherent vision and detailed methodology of the policy approach that is evoked by the term “smart specialisation strategy” (S3), and to explore and elaborate the requirements and implications in terms of design and implementation that are consistent with that policy concept. As such, the paper addresses the issue of designing an innovation policy whose goal is the creation and development of networks of innovators in order to generate some desired structural changes within the framework of a regional economy.

The article is dedicated to the industrial policy of the European Union and its official interpretation. It outlines the existing approaches to the formation of the conceptual structure of this policy, the main stages of its evolution, priorities, tools and measures of implementation, the main target areas of financing. The existing conventionalism of the EU activities designated to regulate the industrial sector in the capacity of an industrial policy is shown, a clarification of the concept of this policy is proposed. Such regulation today goes far beyond the sectoral framework and, extending to almost all spheres of the economy, acquires a cross-cutting general economic nature. Particular attention is paid to the latest version of industrial policy, which convincingly indicates an increase in the innovative trend in the area of economic activity referred to as industrial policy. There is a radical expansion of the range of its innovative priorities to ensure the formation of a regional innovation economy for sustainable development. As a result, this policy serves as an organic component of innovation policy. At the same time, the rapid updating of the proclaimed versions of the EU industrial policy definitely shows that it has become a tool for the implementation of urgent adjustments to the economic course in accordance with the objective requirements of modern development.

Smart specialization strategies, which at the regional level are to serve the implementation of smart growth strategies, are an extremely important tool of innovation policy and strategies. Innovation policy should incorporate elements of scientific, technological and industrial policy. In a narrow sense, innovation policy is a set of documents: strategies, programs, directives, reports, measures and assessments that are supposed to shape it. The article formulates the thesis that without improving the key factor – economic, quality of human capital and social constituting their specific potentials – the implementation of the concept of smart specializations is not possible in weak cities and voivodeships. The aim of the study is to present strategic documents and potentials facilitating the process of selecting and developing smart specializations based on the experience of the region and its medium-sized cities.

AbstractThis article analyses the Italian National Strategy for Inner Areas (NSIA) as a new policy for local development only partially linked to the European cohesion policy. It focuses on its innovative contents (vision, governance and methodology), and mainly on the transfer of innovation to lower levels of government and between local administrations. As an empirical study of policy transfer and policy innovation in a system of multilevel governance it shows an unexpected transfer of the NSIA methodology to another policy field: that of post-earthquake reconstruction in Central Italy. The article concludes by applying the typology of policy transfer developed in its first part to the analysis of the case-study as a whole.
