Abstract
The potential success and development of social innovations is dependent on their access to resources, and their dealing with constraints and capabilities. For social innovators, the use and access to these resources is somewhat different than for technological and business innovators. A clear understanding of these differences can guide social innovators in developing strategies to better deal with resources and developing capabilities that eventually result in social change. Achieving social change needs a specific, theoretically and empirically underpinned approach. Considering the success of social innovations, this chapter will look into this underpinning, thereby elaborating which resources, constraints and capabilities function as leverage factors, and in what way.
