Disrupting for Good: Social Innovation Management and Technological Advancements

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.
