Hardback. Condition: New. Max Rolfstam examines the increasing emphasis on public procurement as a means to stimulate innovation and the theoretical implications of this policy development. While 'regular' public procurement may be regarded as the outcome of anonymous market processes, public procurement of innovation must be understood as a special case of innovation, where social processes - and consequently the institutions governing these social processes - need to be considered. This book contributes to our understanding with a detailed institutional analysis of the public procurement of innovation.The author draws on an institutional framework that underscores the importance of conducting a multilevel institutional analysis. Unlike earlier studies that reduced public procurement challenges to a legal issue, this book offers insights of a more holistic nature.Academics, students and researchers with an interest in innovation policy will find this book to be an informative and fascinating read. It will also provide an invaluable reference tool on how public procurement can be used as an innovation policy tool for policy makers at both national and EU levels.Contents 1. Introduction 2.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The role of public procurement as a means to implement secondary policy has been increasingly emphasised in the last few decades. Besides being the primary sourcing instrument for public agencies, public procurement could be used to stimulate all kinds of new behaviour, including innovation, sustainability and energy efficiency. The evolution and diffusion of these principles and practices have been preceded by debates and discussions where certain axioms have played an important role to shape the agenda. Axioms are rarely debated, self-evident and taken-for-granted assumptions about the real world. This book examines four axioms which have been used in the debates regarding using public procurement as an instrument for secondary policy implementation - the assumption of demand as the driver of innovation, the promotion of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the negligence of measuring, and the use of functional specification.This book will be of interest to both academics and policymakers in the fields of public management, public administration and policy and related disciplines. The aim of this excellent new work is to provide an extended analysis of public procurement used as an innovation policy instrument. It will be of interest to both academics and policy makers in the fields of public management, public administration and policy and related disciplines. This item is printed on demand.
