Descriptive Case Studies

These cases, sometimes called "best pratices," illustrate and analyze examples of innovations in diverse fields and geographic areas. These papers can be downloaded via the links below. This list does not include teaching case studies or current Ash-sponsored KSG faculty research, which can be accessed via the links on the left. Also visit the Government Innovators Network for related content, including research, from around the world.

These cases are the product of two projects: the Innovations in Technology (ITG) project, and the Ash - World Bank Innovations in Local Service Delivery in Indonesia Case project.

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view the pdf versions of the cases.
