HOW TO MAKE AN ENTREPRENEURIAL STATE
Defying timeworn stereotypes of bureaucracy, Kattel, Drechsler and Karo offer a fresh perspective on the states pivotal role in societal progress. Their pioneering book will be essential to both those who want to understand, and those who want to realize the great transformations of our time.
Professor Caspar van den Berg, Leiden University
Bureaucracy plays a dual role in creating innovation in society and business. On the one hand, the bureaucracy is required to be an enabler in various changes in society through various policies and activities, on the other hand the bureaucracy must also be able to change itself in the midst of various regulatory rigidities. This book is very good at telling these two things and being an inspiration for practitioners, academics and students who are deep in bureaucracy.
Professor Eko Prasojo, University of Indonesia

Bureaucrats are stabilising knowledge, keeping things running, and sometimes innovating quite radically.
Brian Eno
We always have two jobs to do at the same time. On the one hand, all the time try to jump to the next level, to advance the digital state.... But taking it to the next level must go hand in hand with securing what we have. We cannot just make innovation leaps. But we cannot just focus on keeping the basics in order either, even if resources are scarce because people are waiting for changes. We need to deal with two challenges at once.
