Abstract

The innovation is one of the determining factors of the economic output. It was a long time until the actors of economics have recognized that in the regions where there is a lack of economic and natural science innovation, the social innovation can be the compensating factor. This recent research describes a measuring and knowledge engineering system applicable in the domestic practice, which can be appropriate to quantify social innovation potential and to determine the main directions of interventions. The described new innovation paradigm has recent characteristics. The social innovation has the same role in these models like the economic or technological innovations, because in the economy there exists some problems that can be solved only by social innovation. Another statement, that generating and managing social innovation is as much resource intensive as the other types of innovation.
