According to my perspective, I feel that politically-initiated innovation is the one which is found most in the public sector (Borins, 2002). This is because the investments made by the government will never be without being calculative and politically aware of the situation of the general public. The general public will have to be satisfied by innovation done by the politically influenced government. However, the political interests of the politicians and those of the government will also have to be served and fulfilled by every action and decision made in the direction of innovation.
