SOCIAL INNOVATIONS: ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CONTENT

Summary 

One of the most pressing issues in the scientific literature is the status of social innovation as an independent phenomenon of public and economic life. Some scholars believe that the interest in social innovation as a scientific research object has been observed for the last 20 years and is driven by the search for alternative ways of solving public sector problems. Also, the transformation of relations between economic agents, caused by purposeful technological development, changes in the interests and incentives of individual economic agents in the social, cultural, environmental spheres.

It should be noted that innovations in general and social innovations in particular are an integral part of socio-economic development, as they involve a qualitative change in all its factors and outcomes. In this regard, one of the main aspects of the study of this phenomenon is the development of theoretical-methodological views on the content basis of social innovation.
