Innovation, Public Policy and Public Value: New Masters in Public Administration

Mariana Mazzucato, Rainer Kattel, Kate Roll

2020 Education & Employment English

Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) at University College London has created a new Masters programme in Public Administration on Innovation, Public Policy and Public Value. There is no equivalent post-graduate degree that combines similar alternative approach to policymaking, with a focus on structural change and innovation. The MPA started in 2019 and focuses on the dynamic skills required for purpose-driven organisations — in public, private, and civil sectors — to confront the grand challenges of the 21st century.

Tackling these challenges requires new ways of thinking and new organisational capabilities. In the session IIPP’s director Mariana Mazzucato, head of teaching Kate Roll and deputy director Rainer Kattel discuss why the MPA was created and key take-aways from the first cohort of students.

For an example of mission-oriented innovation in practice on the streets of Sweden, we recommend our sessionwith UCL IIPP Visiting Professor of Practice, Dan Hill.

Mariana Mazzucato

Founding Director & Professor in the Economics of Innovation & Public Value

Mariana Mazzucato is winner of international prizes including the 2020 John Von Neumann Award, the 2019 All European Madame de Staël Prize for Cultural Values, and 2018 Leontief Prize for Advancing the Frontiers of Economic Thought.

She was named as one of the ‘3 most important thinkers about innovation’ by the New Republic, one of the 50 most creative people in business in 2020 by Fast Company, and one of the 25 leaders shaping the future of capitalism by Wired.

Mariana’s highly-acclaimed book The Entrepreneurial State: debunking public vs. private sector myths (2013) investigates the role of public organizations in playing the ‘investor of first resort’ role in the history of technological change.  Her 2018 book The Value of Everything: making and taking in the global economy (2018) brings value theory back to the center of economics in order to reward value creation over value extraction.

She advises policy makers around the world on innovation-led inclusive and sustainable growth. Her current roles include being a member of the Scottish Government’s Council of Economic Advisors; the South African President’s Economic Advisory Council; the OECD Secretary General’s Advisory Group on a New Growth Narrative; the UN’s Committee for Development Policy (CDP). Through her role as Special Advisor for the EC Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, she authored the high impact report on Mission-Oriented Research & Innovation in the European Union, turning “missions” into a crucial new instrument in the European Commission’s Horizon innovation programme.

Rainer Kattel

Deputy Director & Professor of Innovation and Public Governance / UCL IIPP

Before joining UCL IIPP, Rainer led Ragnar Nurkse School of Innovation and Governance for 10 years, building it into one of the leading innovation and governance schools in the region. His background is in philosophy, political philosophy, classics and public administration.

Rainer has also served on various public policy commissions, including the Estonian Research Council and European Science Foundation. He has worked as an expert for the OECD, UNDP and the European Commission. Currently, he leads the Estonian Government’s Gender Equality Council, and is a member of E-Estonia Council advising the Prime Minister of Estonia.

He has published extensively on innovation policy, its governance and specific management issues. His recent books include:

  • Schumpeter’s Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy: A Twenty-First Century Agenda (edited with Leonardo Burlamaqui; Routledge, 2018)
  • Special issue of Industrial and Corporate Change on mission-oriented innovation policy (edited with Mariana Mazzucato, 2018).
  • Innovation Bureaucracy (with Wolfgang Drechsler and Erkki Karo; Yale, 2020)

In 2013, he received Estonia’s National Science Award for his work on innovation policy.

Head of Teaching and Assistant Professor in Innovation, Development and Value at the

Dr Kate Roll is a political scientist interested in vulnerability, with a particular focus on the factors that enable people in poverty to gain greater social and economic security. Her multi-disciplinary work brings together politics and policy, business ethics, and development studies.

At IIPP, Dr Roll serves as an Assistant Professor in Innovation, Development and Purpose. Prior to joining IIPP, she was based at the University of Oxford, where she was a faculty member at the Saïd Business School, contributing to the strategy and innovation curriculum, and ran the Mutuality in Business Project, a large multi-year research partnership on responsible business.

Dr Roll is currently developing a new stream of research, which will extend her work on private sector approaches to development by critically examining the emergent field of social innovation and ‘technology for good.’
