Interest in social innovation continues to rise, from governments setting up social innovation 'labs' to large corporations developing social innovation strategies. Yet theory lags behind practice, and this hampers our ability to understand social innovation and make the most of its potential. This collection brings together work by leading social innovation researchers globally, exploring the practice and process of researching social innovation, its nature and effects. Combining theoretical chapters and empirical studies, it shows how social innovation is blurring traditional boundaries between the market, the state and civil society, thereby developing new forms of services, relationships and collaborations. It takes a critical perspective, analyzing potential downsides of social innovation that often remain unexplored or are glossed over, yet concludes with a powerful vision of the potential for social innovation to transform society. It aims to be a valuable resource for students and researchers, as well as policymakers and others supporting and leading social innovation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alex Nicholls\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 113754953X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781137549532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.76lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.62d","brand":"Alex Nicholls","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43924172603647,"sku":"9781137549532","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_520486b0-9a24-41e6-97ef-bd170ce8da08.jpg?v=1681068897","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/new-frontiers-in-social-innovation-alex-nicholls-9781137549532","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
