Buchkapitel »Social innovation: contested understandings of social change« erschienen

11/29/2021

Bookcover of Handbook of Alternative Theories of Innovation

Soziale Innovation, ein Begriff mit vielen Bedeutungen

Inwiefern ist der Begriff "soziale Innovation" eine Alternative und Gegenpol zum unternehmerischen Verständnis technischer Innovation? Oftmals werden sozialen Innovationen als inhärent positive Bottom-up-Prozesse begriffen und das Buchkapitel zeichnet die Entwicklung dieses Verständnisses nach. Insbesondere wird dabei untersucht, wie der Begriff der sozialen Innovation in akademischen und politischen Diskursen der letzten zwanzig Jahre populär wurde. Wie sich zeigt, nimmt der Begriff im politische Diskurs eine deutliche Nähe zu unternehmerischen und technischen Innovationen an. Diese Verengung des Begriffs unterbindet jedoch sein analytisches Potential und anstatt dem Pro-Innovation-Bias techno-ökomomischer Innovation zu folgen, kann eine differenzierte Sichtweise die Vielschichtigkeit sozialen Wandels sichbar machen.

Das internationale Handbook on Alternative Theories of Innovation enthält alternative Konzepte und Ansätze, die sich nicht mit den geläufigen ökonomsichen oder industriellen Innovationstheorien fassen lassen. Es bewertet diese Alternativen und fragt nach den Leerstellen in den dominanten Innovationstheorien und -diskursen und wie diese Lücken geschlossen werden können.
