Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to discuss policy review in the interest of sustainable innovations in Malaysia’s public procurement. This study also offers the overall relationship between existing policies related to sustainable innovations in public procurement and the coherences towards the four dimensions of sustainable innovations. Design/methodology/approach This study outlines the current policies in Malaysia which are related to sustainable innovation initiatives and explores the cohesiveness that appears disconnected and understood separately. Policy content analysis is conducted on the current policies related to sustainable innovations in the context of Malaysia’s public procurement. Findings This study observed that the current policies related to sustainable innovations in public procurement are actually interconnected with each other through a hierarchical framework. This study also demonstrates that the 12th Malaysia Plan has comprehensively encompassed every aspect of the environment, social, economic and innovation to contribute to one primary goal – green economic growth. Research limitations/implications The proposed policy framework is expected to be beneficial for the administrator executive among the civil servant to connect the independent policies and, at the same time, contribute to the overall goal of green economic growth. Through a broad policy structure too, this study helps the industry player to recognize their potential in any area related to sustainable innovation. Originality/value The policy framework illustrated is new to the literature, especially in Malaysia’s context. The compilation of current policy grounded by the 12th Malaysia Plan has not been presented in any publications.
马来西亚公共采购的可持续创新:战略政策倡议和一致性
目的本研究的目的是讨论马来西亚公共采购中可持续创新的政策审查。本研究还提供了与公共采购可持续创新相关的现有政策与可持续创新四个方面的一致性之间的总体关系。设计/方法论/方法本研究概述了马来西亚当前与可持续创新举措相关的政策,并探讨了看似脱节和单独理解的凝聚力。在马来西亚公共采购的背景下,对与可持续创新有关的现行政策进行了政策内容分析。研究结果本研究观察到,当前与公共采购可持续创新相关的政策实际上通过一个层级框架相互关联。这项研究还表明,第十二个马来西亚计划全面涵盖了环境、社会、经济和创新的各个方面,为实现一个主要目标——绿色经济增长做出了贡献。研究局限性/含义拟议的政策框架有望有利于公务员中的行政长官将独立政策联系起来,同时有助于实现绿色经济增长的总体目标。通过广泛的政策结构,这项研究也有助于行业参与者认识到他们在任何与可持续创新相关的领域的潜力。独创性/价值所示的政策框架对文献来说是新的,尤其是在马来西亚的背景下。以《马来西亚第十二个计划》为基础的现行政策汇编没有出现在任何出版物中。
