Exploring the diversity and spread of adult social care innovations in England: an exercise in mapping innovations and a research agenda
Abstract
This paper examines the diversity and spread of adult social care (ASC) innovations in England. Drawing on public sector and social innovation traditions to analyse a database of 128 innovations, we present empirical evidence about the heterogeneous nature of ASC innovation, highlighting the importance of interorganizational relationships. We interrogate features and patterns of spread, arguing they are shaped by a sustained and strong New Public Management reform narrative for ASC. This analysis reveals the limits of linear diffusion models and public sector and social innovation traditions in this context, underpinning arguments for more context-sensitive innovation models and application of theory.

探索英格兰成人社会照护创新的多样性与扩散：一项创新映射实践与研究议程
摘要
本文考察英格兰成人社会照护（ASC）创新的多样性与扩散。我们借鉴公共部门创新与社会创新传统，分析了一个包含128项创新的数据库，呈现了关于ASC创新异质性的经验证据，并强调组织间关系的重要性。我们审视创新的特征与扩散模式，认为它们受到针对ASC的持续而强劲的新公共管理改革叙事所塑造。这一分析揭示了线性扩散模型以及公共部门创新与社会创新传统在此情境中的局限，从而支持了采用更情境敏感的創新模型并应用理论的论点。
