Digital transformation of work: spillover effects of workplace innovation on social Innovation
bookPart
This chapter addresses social innovation as the invention, development and implementation of new ideas to solve social problems faced by individuals, groups or communities (Oeij et al. 2019, p. 244). This definition sees the ‘implementation’ of innovation as an indicator of success in solving social problems. Social problems are any situation that prevents individuals, groups or communities from being included in society as is understood in ‘inclusiveness’ and ‘participation’; or, conversely, any individual, group or community that is socially excluded from social welfare and well-being. Being ‘socially active’, then, refers to contributing to solving social problems in one way or another, as a form of social innovation.
