Abstract

This article reviews concepts of social innovation and some Japanese cases. Social innovation seeks to provide a broad perspective on innovation that is not only premised on technology, and offers much potential for tackling complex emerging social issues. Evidenced-based discourse on social innovations and a more detailed policy framework are urgently needed to enable positive changes in the society we live in.
