SOCIAL INNOVATION: A BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW OF THE CASE STUDIES PUBLISHED IN BRAZIL

Abstract

This paper aimed to analyze how social innovation has been characterized in Brazilian studies. A snippet of social innovation is presented in the Brazilian case studies available in the SPELL and anal databases of ENANPAD. We identified 21 articles in journals and 16 in ANPAD events. The selected studies were analyzed in light of the dimensions of social innovation proposed by Tardif and Harrisson (2005) - Transformation, innovative character, innovation, actors and process. In all, 37 articles were selected and analyzed, published between January 2007 and August 2019. In general, the evidence found indicates that Brazilian case studies on social innovation consider the dimensions proposed by Tardif and Harrisson (2005), however neither All articles present in full, do not even adequately describe the 5 dimensions proposed by these authors. Particularly noteworthy are the dimensions of transformation and processes among the least explained in the studies consulted.
