Social Innovation: Comparative Perspectives investigates
socio-economic impact. Since it is hard to establish causality and
to measure social properties when investigating impact, especially
at the level of society, the book narrows down impact to one
priority aspect: social innovation - understood as organizations'
capacity to generate novel ideas, ways and means of doing things,
of addressing public and social problems of many kinds. This
volume's primary assertion is that the Third Sector, specifically
through stimulating civic involvement, is best placed to produce
social innovation, outperforming business firms and state agencies
in this regard. By investigating actor contributions to social
innovation across seven fields of activity, Social innovation:
Comparative Perspectives develops our understanding of why and how
the Third Sector is central to functioning, cohesive and viable
societies. This volume is based on contributions of the project
"ITSSOIN - Impact of the Third Sector as Social Innovation" funded
by the European Commission under the 7th framework programme. It
will be of insight across disciplines, in particular to the growing
social innovation community, innovation researchers more generally
and to non-profit scholars. The practical relevance of the book
will be of interest to European and national policy makers and
practitioners across different sectors.
