Abstract

İnsanlık tarihinin başlarına kadar uzanan sosyal inovasyon Max Weber, Talcott Parsons ve Schumpeter’in araştırmalarıyla kavramlaşarak literatürdeki yerini almıştır. Son yıllarda ekonomiden işletmeye, bölgesel kalkınmadan politikaya bütün alanlarda ilgi çekmeye başlamıştır. Bundan dolayı çalışmanın amacı olarak sosyal inovasyon kavramı ve kapsamının belirlenmesi, sosyal inovasyon ve sosyal değişim ilişkisinin ortaya çıkarılması, literatür taraması sonucu bir sosyal inovasyon kavramsal modelinin önerilmesi olarak belirlenmiştir. Araştırma, sonucunda sosyal inovasyon koşul ve etkenlerini, sosyal, çevresel ve ekonomik sorunların belirlediği, çok çeşitli aktör ve paydaş tarafından uygulamaya konulan ve amacın sadece sosyal sorunları mevcutlara göre daha etkili ve verimli çözmek olduğu, bunun sonucunda da arzulanan sistemli sosyal değişimin yaşandığı bir süreç olarak tanımlanmıştır.
