Abstract

"Institutional innovation" in schools can be used to facilitate a particular process or service that will improve organizational performance. This includes structural innovation and management system innovation. At present, the theories of organisational innovations adopted by schools are mostly derived from theories of corporate organizational innovations. However, it is important to realize that school organizations and corporate organizations have different goals and needs. Institutional structures and institutional reform capacities of schools are different. They have different organizational member relationships, different decision-making models, and different internal/external factors. Institutional innovation is an alternative choice for an existing organization and may involve a systematic change. Institutional innovation encompasses structural changes in technology, purpose, personnel, and culture.

Considering that researchers in the past focused deeply on the "technical innovation" aspect for institutions and consequently ignored "administrative innovation", the definition of institutional innovation needs to be examined from a diversified perspective.
