The Jerusalem Post reports:
Israel’s public social welfare and health organizations are among the most innovative and creative in Europe, according to research conducted and published this week by a team of professors from the University of Haifa’s Graduate School of Management.
The study, carried out at the behest of the European Union to determine what makes an organization or a company successful and forward thinking, examined a range of health institutions and non-government welfare organizations in nine European countries - Britain, Ireland, Holland, Lithuania, Slovakia, Sweden, Norway and Spain and Israel.
Looking at the traits that affect organizational innovativeness - openness to change, risk-taking, future-orientation, creativity and pro-activeness - the researchers revealed that Israeli organizations led the way in … areas of creativity, openness to change and focusing on future goals. Israeli organizations also scored highly when it came to risk taking and pro-activeness.
