Abstract

[ES] Revisión sistemática de textos bibliográficos extraídos de la web Scopus donde analizaré cómo las empresas han llevado a cabo una innovación social en diferentes campos en los últimos 10 años y a qué actores afecta.

[EN] Social innovation has been defined as the design and implementation of solutions by different innovative ways in order to improve the lifestyle of individuals and communities. Despite this fact, there are still many discrepancies about what it really means, which are the real-world problems that can address, which are the impacts and how can it be applied. In this research an analysis on the evolution of literature in social innovation of the last ten years is proposed. In particular, a systematic review is carried out, based on the different papers that have been classified into topics (e.g., technology, healthcare, energy…) and so as to assess what is the real influence of social innovation in our society. The results show that there is a growing interest in social innovation as the number of publications has increased in the last years, manifesting the big contribution that it can give to society.
