A framework for social innovation identification: a case study One issue that generally creates difficulties in the field of social innovation is given by the different perspectives about innovation. It is thus important to differentiate between the process leading to an innovation, the outcome of this process, namely the innovation, and the implementation of the innovation. In all these steps in an innovation’s life course two approaches have been used. One psychological, interested in the mental processes of creativity (following the theories of Young, 1905 and his followers) and one sociological, interested in the characteristics of the social environment or group interactions, believed to stimulate innovation (see for example Sawyer, 2006). In this paper, I am only interested in exploring innovations and their implementation, as outcomes of the innovation process. Consequently, in this project I ask the following questions: 1) How should one decide which solution to a given problem is a social innovation? 2) How should one decide which solution to disseminate as innovative? inovatiasociala.ro/studii/a_framework_for_social_innovation_identification_a_case_study/1/34/txt/
