ArticlePublisher: 2001The American Review of Public Administration 31, 1, p. 5-21Abstract: Previous research based on a sample of the best applicatons to the State and Local Government Innovation Awards (1990-1994) identified the most frequently observed characteristics of ublic management innovations: they are holistic, use new information technology, incorporate process improvments, empower citizens and communities, and involve partnerships with the private sector. This sample also demonstrated the importance of middle managers and front-line staff as initiators, indicated that the innovations were more frequently a response to internal problems or opportunities than crises, and showed that the innovations were more frequently the result of planning than of Behn`s model of "gropping along."This research was replicated with three new samples of innovations: applications in American Government awards, and the Commonwealth Association for Public Administration and Management innovation awards. Preliminary results fo all three replications were similar to the original study
