Innovating in the German Public Sector:

چکیده
We investigate the innovation function of a think tank in the course of modernization of the German public sector. Our focus is on the framing strategy the think tank pursues in order to disseminate new knowledge. We select publications released by the think tank and conduct a textual analysis on them in order to reveal the frames for which they serve as vehicles. Three stages of the framing process can be distinguished: frame breaking, construction and adjustment. With the support of framing strategies, the focal think tank triggers the application of an innovative management concept, labelled New Steering Model.
