Social innovation, the new challenge for Europe
conference paper
Continuous innovation and growth of productivity cannot be achieved just by new technologies and by seeking competitive advantage by means of cutting costs. What is needed is the optimal utilisation of the potential workforce. The latest development in the Netherlands concerning productivity is the movement of so called 'Social [nnovation'. Social Innovation in the Dutch definition is a broader concept than organisational innovation. It includes such things as dynamic management, flexible organisation, working smarter, development of skills and competences, networking between organisations. It is seen as complementary to technological innovation. Social [nnovation is part of process innovation as well as product innovation and it includes also the modernisation of industrial relations and human resource management.
