Although we have discussed the outcomes of innovation in the last chapter, we have not had any discussion so far about how innovative activities in the public sector are associated with ethics. Ethics is perhaps more related to outcomes, for example an innovation may have unethical outcomes. Ethics can also play a role during an innovation process, for example policymakers may use unethical tools while implementing an innovation. However, despite the importance of ethics for different aspects of innovation (e.g., process and outcomes), it is unfortunate that innovation scholarship does not pay much attention to the link between ethics and innovative activities. This chapter highlights some critical reflections on the links between innovations and ethics, including discussing what, how, and why questions, some lessons from public and private organizations, and examples of ethical issues that may affect innovative activities and decisions to make innovations.
