Innovation and entrepreneurship are terms often reserved for the private sector, but Windrum (Manchester Metropolitan U. Business School, UK) and Koch (NIFU STEP Studies in Research and Education, Norway) edit these articles about the emergence of these qualities in public leadership and policy. These essays from contributors all over the world show how an entrepreneurial spirit can inject new life into a sleepy and stagnant government body, and how innovations have transformed public services such as health care. Presented as a unified study on how these changes can be enforced, these articles are designed to inspire and challenge policymakers and business leaders equally.
