| The leading edge mark of an innovative country is the productivity of science and technology innovation,the fundamental basis of which is the innovation of a nation's management institution.The innovation of government management in the values,management system,and mechanism can provide a good market environment,as its innovation's guide,incentive,risk security and the rational allocation of innovation returns are the bases of market innovation.The diffusion of innovation of government departments can push forward government innovation's scale,efficiency,and method and also support the innovation of market and society.During the past several decades countries all over the world are nowadays undertaking reforms with different degrees,during which China's innovations of local governments are also quite active and have accumulated huge experiences from these local measures.While innovation is changing China,local government innovation has become the main power to promote administrative reform and social economy development.Many governmental innovation projects not only maintain good local social effect but develop as a nation-wide model,or fail initially but coined and succeed in other localities,or fail at the beginning without any kinds of spreading.Thus comes a question that why those local innovative programs face such different destiny?This thesis therefore aims to exam how to both effectively promote the diffusion of government innovation and to guarantee the efficacy of resolving local problems.This thesis,based on innovation theory,searches the basic theory,strategy and paths of government innovation.Through tracing and comparing the consecutive Excellence Prize winners of China 1st-5th local government innovation award,this thesis found that 1)there is close connection between government innovation persistence and diffusion as there has not been much diffusion in the situation of not much continuity,2)the degree of political reform innovation project depends mainly on the central government's support and promotion and autonomous diffusion has quite limited diffusion range,and 3)innovation diffusions of social management and public service category are relatively better and more of the autonomous diffusion.The comparative analyses of Zhejiang cases show that higher level of government intervention is of great significance to the innovation diffusion.The diffusion of innovations firstly needs recognition and legitimacy and also supportive polices and financial guide approved from higher levels of government.Maintaining government officials' persistence and promotion is the strong support to innovation diffusion.Only pushed by the officials who are courageous and do not care about personal gains and losses can the adoption of innovation is possible.Diffusion of innovation with good condition is mainly driven by the central government or just learn to show a strong motive to accept the innovation.Those that driven by the lower level superior governments or with not strong motive to accept always have either limited diffusion range or weak persistence,and cannot achieve good social effect of innovation.This study also finds that government innovation differs with enterprise innovation in terms of the goal,thus the fore presents distinguished diffusion paths and logic.The compulsory diffusion proceeds with a path that the upper governments initiate and promote longitudinal diffusion with top-down innovations,showing advantages of speedier diffusion and less cost and risk.By contrast,in the spontaneous diffusion mode,the innovation logic mainly goes by imitating the government and self-learning consciously,appearing a comparatively stronger adaptability but lower diffusion efficiency.Government innovation diffusion is a process of multi-players' participation and cooperation,which persistently exist among the central government and local government,upper government and lower levels of government,and also the government and the society. |
