Popis: Recent scholarly wisdom suggests that public sector organizations (PSOs) should not always innovate alone. Collaboration with diverse actors is often proposed so that more and better innovations can be developed. However, it remains unclear what capacities PSOs need in order to participate in collaborative arrangements for innovation and to collaborate with diverse innovation partners. Using survey data from Belgian federal and Flemish public managers, we show that the connective and learning capacities of PSOs contribute positively to their participation in collaborative arrangements for innovation, and to the diversity of actors with which they collaborate.
