Course description
In this course we will review the concepts of innovation developed in the heat of the different paradigms that addressed public management in the last century to finally reach the notion of Open Public Innovation.
In this framework, we will approach the approaches from linear innovation, as a model associated with intrabureaucratic processes supported fundamentally in technological developments, to the most recent mechanisms linked to the coordination of public actors and civil society for the co-creation of policies public.
We will problematize around what is and what is not innovation in public management today and we will analyze different experiences tending to strengthen innovative spaces in the different levels of government management.
Finally, we will invite students to reflect on the experiences analyzed, detecting strengths and weaknesses of the cases studied and incorporating the different lessons for the transfer of knowledge and skills acquired to their respective management spaces.
