Summary:

"Rainer Kattel, Wolfgang Drechsler and Erkki Karo examine how public bodies pursue innovation. Spanning Europe, the USA and Asia, they argue for the importance of 'agile stability', demonstrating that in order to successfully innovate, state organizations have to move nimbly like start-ups and yet ensure stability at the same time. Exploring the complex, often contradictory, position of the innovating public body, this account offers new solutions as to how it can overcome financial and political resistance to change - for the good of us all"-- Provided by publisher.
