Abstract

Ce document explore le concept d'innovation sociale, allant au-delà d'une simple définition pour analyser ses multiples facettes et son ancrage contextuel. L'auteur propose de considérer l'innovation sociale non pas comme un projet unique, mais à travers des espaces de production et de croisement d'éléments innovants, appelés Espaces Socialement Innovants (ESI). Il identifie cinq angles d'analyse principaux pour comprendre la complexité de ces innovations : la prise en compte de nouveaux besoins, l'arrangement institutionnel et territorial, les processus d'hybridation organisationnelle, les actions managériales des innovateurs, et les effets sociaux produits. Le document utilise le cas de "La Cocotte Solidaire" comme illustration empirique pour appuyer cette approche plurielle, soulignant comment cette association crée des transformations, même minimes, qui participent à un objectif sociopolitique plus large.
