This book explores public sector entrepreneurship from an international perspective. It
features essays from eminent scholars in the field addressing entrepreneurial public policies
from different countries. Public sector entrepreneurship is at the cusp of becoming a watchword
in international policy circles. This book is a pioneer volume in this emerging field and
provides topics and policies that are broadly applicable across different economies. Public
sector entrepreneurship refers to innovative public policy initiatives that generate greater
economic prosperity by transforming a status-quo economic environment into one that is more
conducive to economic units engaging in creative activities in the face of uncertainty. In
today's economy public sector entrepreneurship affects that transformation primarily by
increasing the effectiveness of knowledge networks that is by increasing the heterogeneity of
experiential ties among economic units and the ability of those same economic units to exploit
such diversity. Through policy initiatives that are characterized by public sector
entrepreneurship there will be more development of new technology and hence more innovation
throughout the economy.
