Through a rigorous and analytical approach, this monograph aims to
address critical research questions, including:
How can disruptive technologies amplify social innovation processes and
generate tangible economic value for businesses?
Which emerging business models successfully integrate social impact
with digital transformation in a sustainable manner?
What methodologies can be employed to measure and evaluate the
economic, social, and environmental effects of the convergence between
disruptive technologies and social innovation?
To provide comprehensive insights into these questions, this volume is
structured into eight CHAPTERs, each dedicated to a key dimension of
the phenomenon. The discussion spans from the foundational theories of
social innovation to the development of a strategic framework positioning
management thinking as a driver for creating synergies between social
innovation and technological advancements, to strategies for leveraging
disruptive innovation for social good, the impact on business models, and
methodologies for assessing the economic and social value derived from
this intersection.
