This study explores the operation of public service sandboxes within collaborative innovation contexts by integrating Sørensen and Torfing’s (2011) collaborative innovation model with the concept of public service sandboxes and applying sandbox governance factors proposed by Jenik and Lauer (2017). The BUBU Car Sharing Program under the Taiwan Ministry of Transportation is selected as the research case. This study utilizes in-depth interviews to collect qualitative data from township experiences and conduct an analysis. The findings show that this pilot program, designed through a“local services for local people”model, faced challenges in the early stage of collaborative innovation due to regulatory constraints. Public service sandboxes were introduced as a strategic approach to deal with these barriers. The research highlights several key factors for successful sandbox implementation: building precise regulations, involving the intermediary organization for management and coordination, securing strong leadership support, working with the community, and ensuring adequate resource allocation. Unlike financial regulatory sandboxes that prioritize market conditions, public service sandboxes focus on resolving policy challenges. This requires robust support from government policy and local social networks for effective implementation. The findings demonstrate that public service sandboxes help mitigate institutional, inter-organizational, organizational, and identity barriers in collaborative innovation processes and contribute to facilitating regulatory amendments. Finally, the study offers practical recommendations for future policy sandbox implementation and underscores the need for broader exploration of public service sandbox applications in subsequent research. |
