Abstract
Innovation is not self-generating or self-sustaining. Successful innovation requires leadership to establish organizational capacity to generate ideas and to ensure prompt and effective service. If any government fails to provide these supports to the innovation process, it will not be effective. This paper seeks to identify factors that hamper government innovation in Bangladesh. It proposes a strategy for the Bangladesh government that involves political institutionalization, administrative and market decentralization, promotion of social and economic justice, and good governance in order to promote innovation processes and ensure successful innovation flows within the country.
Keywords: innovation; government innovation; innovation strategy
