Description: Social Innovation : How Societies Find the Power to Change, Paperback by Mulgan, Geoff, ISBN 144735379X, ISBN-13 9781447353799, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Mulgan, who works in social innovation in the UK, explores the ideas of social innovation and how they provide answers to problems of the early 21st century. He argues that there can be no progressive approach to political and social change without these ideas and describes social innovation’s focus on the deliberate invention of new solutions to meet social needs. He discusses how societies learn to experiment and innovate, conflicts that arise, and why the imbalances between innovation in the military and business and society have been damaging; the present context for social innovation, including globalization, technological progress, and liberalization and their failure to benefit the lives of the majority, how innovation in welfare can address changing needs, how to change production systems, and how governments, funders, and civil society can achieve more; the theoretical dimensions of social innovation in relation to social science and intelligence design, sociology, cultural change, belonging, and social change; good and bad social innovation and its measurement; social innovation in the future; and dilemmas in the field.
