Analysis of Regional Innovation System Policy Implementation in Achieving Regional Innovation Index in Mesuji Regency Government

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of the Regional Innovation System (SIDa) policy and its impact on the regional innovation index within Mesuji Regency. The research explores factors that support or hinder the successful implementation of innovation policies, focusing on communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Using qualitative descriptive methods, the study gathers data through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis. Results indicate that while communication, resources, and bureaucratic structure support the implementation, the disposition factor, particularly commitment and incentives, requires improvement. The research underscores the need for stronger human resource development and better incentives to sustain innovation practices in Mesuji.
