Produktbeschreibung

'Social innovation' can be simply defined as the new ideas and initiatives that make it possible to meet our society's challenges in areas such as the environment, education, employment, culture, health and economic development. This edited volume brings together interdisciplinary contributions which examine the complex interrelation between innovation and social problems, a link which has been surprisingly underexplored in academia and practice thus far.
