4. SOCIAL INNOVATION?
- TEPSIE, 2012 -
10/23/2013
Social innovations are new solutions (products,
services, models, markets, processes etc.) that
simultaneously meet a social need (more
effectively than existing solutions) and lead to new
or improved capabilities and relationships and
better use of assets and resources. In other words,
social innovations are both good for society and
enhance society’s capacity to act.
