Preamble and Acknowledgements

This literature review has been compiled as part of an Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) project aimed at preparing a Better Practice Guide (BPG) on Public Sector Innovation. It is a ‘stock-take’ of the current state of development of a newly emerging field of academic inquiry and of practice within the public sector.

The literature review covers official government publications, literature produced by non-government organisations and also academic publications on this issue.

This work was funded by the ANAO during 2009.

The authors would like to thank Kumara Henadeera and Bev Biglia from the Centre for Policy Innovation (CPI) at the Australian National University for research assistance in preparing this literature review. Kumara and Bev provided a bibliometric profile of this emerging field of academic inquiry.

The authors thank the ANU for providing the resources to support these additional contributions to this ANAO project.
