“Block and Line” Differences and Vertical Diffusion of Innovation

通过考察其地方政府生态环境修复政策十余年的历史演变，本文发现，上级条块部门分别主导的纵向创新扩散模式在运作机制、持续条件与政策效果上有着显著的差异，呈现出“条条创新、块块扩散”的有趣现象。上级条条部门主导的纵向创新扩散模式主要以项目制实现，其影响主要在项目期内有效且效果较弱，但是这一弱影响往往为政策创新提供了空间；上级块块部门主导的纵向创新扩散模式可以通过人事任免等多种机制对下级施加影响，其影响常规有效且效果较强，但是这一强影响往往会抑制基层的政策创新。本文试图运用组织社会学拓展创新扩散理论，展现不同纵向创新扩散模式差异背后的组织根源。

This paper explores the differences between the vertical diffusion of innovation model launched by functional departments(line) and the model launched by government officials(block), based on ten years' evolution of an ecological environment restoration policy. This research reveals that the vertical model launched by functional departments can influence policy innovation of local government, however contributes little to policy diffusion. The influence is mainly based on pilot projects mechanism, lasts only during the project and has weak effect. The vertical model launched by government officials is the most important factor to promote local innovation in a short time. The influence is mainly based on personnel mechanism, lasts long and has strong effect. This study uses the organization theory to develop the theory of diffusion of innovation and provides insights for research on Chinese pilot project.
