However, those people who push forward innovation usually are not the same as those who make the crucial decisions. A case study from the Hanover region shows that people who initiate and manage innovative projects do not represent the highest level of influence. Due to their limited political power they are more open for new ideas and concepts and show a more strategic behaviour in forming networks. Contrary to that, the top decision-makers tend to concentrate on the interests of the organisation they represent and strategically to rely on direct, bilateral contacts. As a consequence of this phenomenon, patterns of behaviour have to be analysed and strategies to link innovative potentials, managing skills and political power closer together, have to be found. It can be assumed that successful regional governance does not only require a set of powerful public and private bodies, but also a functioning system of interactions between actors with higher and lower influence.; |
