| Abstract | "Entrepreneurship extends beyond startups and technological innovations. Most entrepreneurship literature omits the initiatives that are prioritized in the public sector. Likewise, much public administration literature does not apply an entrepreneurial lens to the examination of the public sector. To that point, a central theme of this book is the argument that entrepreneurship and innovation both currently and have previously taken place in the public sector, although their focus differs from their private sector counterparts. The chapter sets the stage for the remainder of the book, providing the contexts in which to examine the government's role in innovation and being entrepreneurial in its efforts to address social ills"-- Provided by publisher. |
