Social innovation refers to a dynamic process involving a broad and interactive network
of stakeholders, where traditional roles fade or transform, and new ones emerge. Consumers,
for instance, are no longer merely providers of information regarding their needs
but actively participate in developing new products, services, or models (Rosted et
al., 2009). Thus, social innovation can be viewed as a process of collective creation
(Crozier & Friedberg, 1995; Howaldt et al., 2016).Both researchers and policymakers
regard social innovation as a crucial element for addressing societal challenges (Howaldt
et al., 2016; Moulaert et al., 2013; Mulgan, 2006; Pyka & Hanush, 2013). Its socio-economic
objective is to contribute to the fulfillment of human needs. Moulaert and MacCallum
(2013, p. 21) define social innovation as "the innovation of social relations based
on values of solidarity, reciprocity, and union." These values encompass respect,
empathy toward differing perspectives and beliefs, openness to diverse languages and
communication modes, tolerance, and care.
