We summarized and commented on the articles in this issue, which document cases of public and non-profit sector innovation in China and dieorize their significance. These cases tell vivid stories about how Chinese organizations innovate and also point out the importance of the role of government in initiating or constraining these innovations. We find, through die review of these studies, that China's public and non-profit sector organization innovation experiences carry some important messages about the unique features of China's public and non-profit organizations that should not be ignored while studying changes in China.

Together with for-profit business organizations, they constitute an organizational network that enables the distribution and exercise of public and private functions that facilitate political, economic and social development. In the past few decades, the drive for efficiency, effectiveness, and global competitiveness has propelled a global movement of managerial reform and organizational reinvention, which is also evident in China. Business and public organizations alike raced with one another to get on the bandwagon of change and innovation. While the bottom-line of business organizations is profit, public and nonprofit sector organizations are subject to competing challenges. Besides the typical interpersonal and inter-organizational tensions such as personnel grievances, labor disputes, and organizational jurisdiction disputes, public and non-profit sector organizations have to worry about a broad range of tensions such as:

Journal of Jiangxi University of Finance and Economics, 2009
