contents SOCIAL INNOVATION: TOWARDS A NEW INNOVATION PARADIGM JÜRGEN HOWALDT DMITRI DOMANSKI CHRISTOPH KALETKA Administración y Contabilidad Social change Gabriel Tarde Global mapping Social innovation New innovation paradigm Purpose: Against the backdrop of clear paradoxes and confusion in prevailing inno­ vation policies, the contours of a new innovation paradigm, as elaborated in this paper, are becoming visible and causing social innovation to grow in importance. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: However, innovation research is still lacking sustained and systematic analysis of social innovation, its theories, charac­ teristics, and impacts. The purpose of this paper is to focus on a theoretically sound concept of social innovation as a precondition for an integrated theory of socio­technological innovation in which social innovation is more than an appendage of technological innovation. Key methodological aspects: The paper presents first empirical results of the global research project “SI­DRIVE: Social Innovation – Driving Force of Social Change” and introduces key findings of a global mapping of social innovation initiatives. This quantitative mapping is based upon 1.005 social innovation ini­ tiatives. Summary of key results: The mapping underlines the broad range of actors involved in the mapped initiatives and thereby confirms the need for a cross­ sectoral concept of social innovation. It reveals a high diversity of social needs and societal challenges addressed by the initiatives as well as a high dependency on networks. The results also show that 90% of the initiatives are scaling. Key considerations/conclusions: Finally, on the basis of these empirical results, a recourse to Gabriel Tarde’s social theory allows us to widen a perspective which was narrowed to economic and technological innovations by Schumpeter and after him by the sociology of technology, and to include social innovations in all their diversity. 2016 artículo científico 1518-6776 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=195449449003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1954 RAM.
