Abstract/Summary:
Public sector and nonprofit organizations are currently facing financial constraints and fall behind the private sector when it comes to developing new innovative products and services. This qualitative analysis provides a new model for public sector and nonprofit organizations by analyzing case studies from two public organizations and one private, as well as the experimental elimination theory that is proposed by Potts (2010). Analysis of these case studies and theories resulted in a model that focused on utilizing people and programs within an organization to help develop innovation. Examples of organizational culture, creativity, and strong communication tools are recommended and their usage can help improve the people and program side of organizations. This proposed model provides guidance for innovative development and helps satisfy the public sector's need for such a model.
