Although reinventing government is a very important trend of globalization,organizational changes often result in suspicions and resistance. The leaders musthave proper visions and strategies to promote the national development andcompetitiveness. This paper examines the government reform of the rulingDemocratic Progressive Party in Taiwan, and the following three issues arediscussed deliberatively: the evolution of political situations, anti-corruptioncampaigns and organizational reforms. In terms of innovation and execution, theauthor argues that the DPP’s government reform contains plentiful innovations, butit has not been carried through yet. At last, I admire the DPP’s endeavors to countercorruptions and promote organizational reforms, and suggest that “from innovationto execution” should be the right strategy of getting things done.
