Research goals: The purpose of this paper is to discuss the extent to which the intensity of collaboration between different government spheres shapes the organizational performance obtained from technological innovations in the public sector, based on the implementation of a system for recovering robbed and stolen vehicles, in which the Municipality of São Paulo and the Military Police of the State of São Paulo acted together.
Theoretical framework: The literature on collaborative governance and government innovations supports this analysis, with emphasis on its application in the area of public security.
Methodology: Through logistic regressions and analysis of spatial clusters, we analyzed data referring to 319,487 vehicles subtracted in the city of São Paulo between 2015 and 2017.
Results: While we identified a statistically significant increase in the probability of recovering a vehicle as a result of the collaborative efforts employed, we found also heterogeneous results in the different districts of the municipality of São Paulo.
Originality: This work fills a gap in the literature because, despite the increasing use of innovations as a way to improve public services, little is known about the intensity of collaboration necessary to generate the desired results in the face of the adoption of new technologies.
Theoretical and practical contributions: The results suggest that the effectiveness of innovations is associated with the intensity of collaboration between different public bodies. This indicates ways for public management to maximize the benefits of innovations in their activities.
