Abstract

Sustainable innovation fuels the hope of safeguarding social, environmental and economic livelihoods worldwide and for future generations through creative inventions and their successful diffusion. Social innovation, in turn, is regarded as a transformative process and social adjustment capable of counteracting poverty and exclusion, the undesirable effects of structural change and one-sided innovation, driven by collaborative organizations whose primary means and ends are social. This paper explores commonalities between the two concepts, potential conflicts of objectives and interactions of social needs vs sustainability criteria.
