Resumo
iPurpose – The purpose of this paper is to discuss recent developments in the fields of management innovation
and social innovation, in order to discover any possible convergences and divergences between them.
Design/methodology/approach – By examining the state of the art of the literature in both fields of study,
this paper proposes a framework of theoretical approaches, conceptual dimensions, goals and objectives,
processes, agents, outcomes, methods, and literature gaps.
Findings – There are substantial differences between management and social innovation in terms
of theoretical and conceptual foundations. Although both share similarities given the relevance of
technology and their focus on social relations, their generation and diffusion processes, among their other
characteristics, are distinct.
Research limitations/implications – As this is a theoretical paper concerning innovations that involve
social elements at their core, the challenge is to incorporate technological innovation into the theoretical
framework. This would help empirically oriented research on more types of innovation.
Practical implications – The agenda of practitioners, scholars, government, and civil society should take
different types of innovation into account, particularly those that go beyond technology.
Originality/value – This paper contributes to a better understanding of innovations that go beyond
technology, by analysing innovations (i.e. management and social innovation) that involve social aspects at
their core. Few researchers have analysed these types of innovations jointly.
