As we grapple with how to respond to some of the world's most
pressing problems, there is growing global interest in 'social
innovation' as a potential solution. But what exactly is 'social
innovation'? And how can it help us to think about problems such as
inequality, poverty and climate change? Danielle Logue theorizes
social innovation as a contemporary manifestation of the historical
tensions between 'economy' and 'society' and the simultaneous
pursuit of economic and social progress. Going back to the
historical work of Adam Smith and his discussion of markets and
morality, the author draws on organizational and management theory
to present three theoretical lenses for understanding social
innovation. These lenses include theorizing social innovation as
social value creation, capture and distribution; social innovation
as polysemous; and social innovation as institutional change. She
then considers some of the current issues confronting social
innovation in practice and the challenges for organizations in
'doing good' and 'being good'. This generative introduction is
targeted at graduate and doctoral students, as well as
non-specialist academics. It aims to stimulate further discussion
and analysis by providing a comprehensive understanding of social
innovation and a choice of frameworks when examining complex and
wicked problems and the organization and management of efforts to
solve them.
