Abstract

We examine the combinative effects of three innovation types (service, process and administrative) on organizational performance in a five-year panel of 428 English local governments. Results indicate that (1) overall innovative activity matters for organizational performance, (2) that divergence from the norm results in positive rewards, and (3) that a lack of congruence amongst innovation types has a harmful effect on governmental performance. In short, these results suggest that by doing well at innovation, public organizations will come good.
