INTRODUCTION
Innovation plays a crucial role in driving economic growth and social development. In the context of public organizations, innovation becomes particularly essential as it enables the delivery of effective and efficient public services to citizens. However, public organizations in Indonesia face several challenges in harnessing innovation to achieve success (Acs & Amorós, 2008). These challenges include bureaucratic structures, risk-averse cultures, limited resources, and a lack of entrepreneurial mindset. Therefore, there is a pressing need to explore how public entrepreneurship can transform innovation into success within the context of public organizations in Indonesia.
Currently, there is limited research on public entrepreneurship and its role in fostering innovation within public organizations in Indonesia. Most studies focus on entrepreneurship in the private sector, neglecting the unique challenges and opportunities present in the public sector. Therefore, this study aims to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by examining the key factors that contribute to public entrepreneurship success specifically in the Indonesian context.
The primary objective of this research is to identify and analyze the key factors that enable the transformation of innovation into success in public organizations in Indonesia. By exploring the experiences of successful public entrepreneurs, this study aims to provide insights and recommendations for policymakers, managers, and practitioners to enhance public entrepreneurship efforts in Indonesia. Ultimately, the research seeks to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurial thinking within public organizations, thereby improving the delivery of public services and promoting societal progress in Indonesia.
