Sažetak
The paper analyzes the concept of innovation, especially innovation in public administration (administrative innovation or public service innovation) as a new concept that is finding more and more place in scientific literature, but also in the practical efforts of international organizations to popularize innovations in public administration. The paper also distinguishes between several basic types of administrative innovations, namely, innovations in public services and / or policy, organizational, personal, process or management innovations and digital innovations. The paper also deals with the issues related to innovation management, such as obstacles, unexpected results they may lead to (the dark side of innovations), and other similar issues. After the introductory chapter, the paper first briefly explains the basic concepts that were used and are still used to understand changes and change management in public organizations and the entire public administration such as reform, reorganization and modernization of public administration. After that, special attention is paid to administrative innovations and the concept of wicked problems. A special chapter of the paper is devoted to practical efforts regarding the application of the concept of innovation in public administration. This part primarily deals with the activity of the OECD regarding the application and popularization of innovations in the public sector through its Observatory of Public Sector Innovation (OPSI). In the final chapter, the possibility of applying innovations in the Croatian public administration is analytically considered. Particular attention is given to the advantages and barriers to the introduction of innovations in public administration in Croatia.
