Abstract

The main aim of this study is a meta-theoretical investigation to explain the current theoretical landscape of social innovation theories and researches. First of all, this paper makes a typology of social innovation based on concepts and sectors of social innovation. Second, in terms of societal innovation, which it is a kind of social innovation systematic approach, this paper draws some implications for social innovation policy. My key argument is that social innovation could be specified in three different sectors, public innovation, market innovation, and social economy innovation. However, all of them have attention to such as improving a quality of life and making society more sustainable, so it can be argued that those different sectors are structured on social innovation altogether with common goals. Finally, in order to activate the social innovation ecosystem, the government has to play a key role as a facilitator to make sustainable networks and a governance of social innovation that is needed to coordinate between different features and roles of social innovation sectors.

이 연구의 목적은 단편적으로 이루어졌던 사회혁신 연구를 메타적으로 접근해 사회혁신의 이론지형을 통합적으로 설명하는 것에 있다. 이를 위해 사회혁신의 개념과 영역에 초점을 맞춘 유형화를 시도하여 이를 사회혁신체제의 관점에서 재해석해 사회혁신 및 관련정책에 있어 새로운 시사점을 제공하고자 한다. 분석에 따르면, 사회혁신은 삶의 질 향상, 지속가능한 사회로의 변환을 위한 공통의 목표를 중심으로 공공혁신, 시장혁신, 사회적 경제혁신으로 세분화되어 전체 구조를 형성하고 있다. 이러한 분석을 기반으로 하여 사회혁신 생태계의 활성화를 위해 사회혁신 영역별 행위자 특성과 역할에 따라 사회혁신 거버넌스를 운영할 필요가 있으며 네트워크 촉진자로서 정부역할의 변화가 요구된다는 시사점을 도출하였다.
