Antecedents of Implementation and Fate of a Public Innovation Population of 183 Government of Saskatchewan Innovations, 1971-2021.
Which factors influence implementation and fate of public innovations? Some research has been conducted on factors influencing innovation introduction but little on those influencing fate of public sector innovations. This study considers eleven factors potentially and actually influencing a full-po...

Some research has been conducted on factors influencing innovation introduction but little on those influencing fate of public sector innovations. This study considers eleven factors potentially and actually influencing a full-population of 183 public innovations introduced by the Government of Saskatchewan (GoS) 1971-82 and their fate over 50 years (124 terminated, 59 survived). These antecedents include economic situation, government finances, time period (decades) elapsed, ideology, politics, government in power, governments' priorities, sectors, types of innovation, relationship to information, and interactions among antecedents. Differences were found among the antecedents of innovation implementation, survival and termination; the influence of antecedents on implementation and fate were not identical but the factors were shared. The analysis inductively informs the following innovation questions: (1) What were the antecedents of implementation of GoS innovations? (2) What were the antecedents of termination of innovations? (3) Were termination rates consistent over time or did terminations cluster? 4) What were the innovating government's innovation priorities? 5) What were subsequent governments' priorities, revealed by termination of innovations and new programs added? 6) What were the governments' relationships to information? 7) Did the antecedents interact, and if so, how (assessed by a multiple-streams analysis). The factors are assessed for each innovation and a new database prepared. Implementation, survival and termination rates varied by the factors assessed. The most important factor in fate was ideology, due to the dominant government ideology changing from the implementing to the next government). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
