Description
Summary:Based on a literature review, the article proposes a theoretical articulation integrating the innovation subfields of service innovation, social innovation, and public sector innovation. The results revealed a theoretical-methodological research gap regarding the system that mobilizes a set of dimensions for collaborative creation of innovations that generate public value for society, which was conceptualized as public sector innovation ecosystem. Nevertheless, an ecosystem analytical matrix framework was proposed through seven dimensions: ecosystem actors; nature or role of the actor in the ecosystem; competences and preferences of the multiple actors; operations, functions and technologies related to services; nature of innovation; and, public value creation. This research provides an opportunity to advance the knowledge about public innovation and subsidizing innovative policies and managerial practice.
