SOCIAL INNOVATION TIES: A DILEMMA OF PRODUCT AND EMPLOYEE ORIENTATION
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
The main goal of the paper is to evaluate the existing situation in the area of innovative activity in social enterprises. A secondary research data-based analysis has been made to open up discussions for future research in the area of the level of innovative activity, development of social enterprises and social innovation, which are presented as five mini case studies. As was confirmed by the qualitative description and comparison, social innovations in the mentioned companies are mostly determined by employees (80%) and products (40%). When the level of care about employee-oriented innovations is so high, other areas could be lower (Employee>Product >Enterprise). The added value of this paper is the identification of “Employee-oriented” social innovation, which could solve predominantly social issues in a company, not societal problems as the main point of social enterprises.<br/><br/>
