“…The technology is currently associated with digital technology. The use of technology, especially digital technology, which is widely spread, may construct digitalization as a form or part of SI (Enciso-Santocildes et al, 2021 ; Fahmi & Arifianto, 2021 ; C. Li & Bacete, 2022 ; Sari et al, 2020 ), which can enable changes in the community.…”

“…Furthermore, in today’s global era, where ICT plays a vital role in life, this technology also becomes essential for people living in rural areas. Findings from Fahmi and Arifianto ( 2021 ) show that using digital technologies in livelihood strategies stimulates new social and institutional practices in rural areas. As adopted digital technologies may differ in several cases, the complexity of adoption and the required digital literacy and skills will also vary.…”

“…Since research on SI is still rarely found in Indonesia, research on DoSI is also scarce. One of the related articles was written by Fahmi and Arifianto ( 2021 ), highlighting the role of digital technology. At last, besides providing theoretical implications, this research also provides practical implications to support the development of SI in the agricultural community.…”

Social innovation (SI) is a potential solution to various problems and challenges in the agriculture sector. Agri-tech start-ups can be considered important agents for developing SI in the sector. In Indonesia, agri-tech start-ups are also expected to develop SI for sustainable agricultural development in the medium-term national development plan 2020–2024. Using multiple case studies, this paper attempts to complement the currently available literature and deepen the knowledge regarding the differences between SI and traditional innovation. This research also discusses the role of business organizations, represented by agri-tech start-ups, in developing SI, by observing the diffusion model and innovation-decision process. This research identifies characteristics of SI theoretically complemented with empirical description. Three models of diffusion leading to different types of innovation-decision processes and communication channels are identified. Several internal and external factors are influencing the diffusion process. In the process, the start-ups also hold bridging roles that vary according to company characteristics. Practical implications regarding successful SI development are provided.

“…Similarly, a study of the expansion of rural digitalization (i.e. the expansion of the Internet and other digital platforms) by Fahmi and Arifianto (2022) in two villages in Indonesia illustrates that those who are digitally literate are more likely to benefit. Fahmi and Arifianto show that the digitally literate shared their knowledge and expertise with family and friends who benefitted as well.…”

PurposeWhile current scholarship on innovation typically examines its antecedents, the purpose of this paper is to provide a more complete account by advocating for social impacts as a critical component of the sociological study of innovation.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a conceptual approach to illustrate the ways in which innovation may generate unequitable outcomes. The authors illustrate the purpose of the paper by discussing strategically selected examples that are intended to reflect prominent themes and topics in the relevant literature.FindingsThe analysis suggests that while innovation yields many positive benefits, pervasive narratives about its virtues can be overstated when, in fact, innovation may generate adverse effects for particular social groups by reproducing or exacerbating inequality. The authors provide a more complete account of innovation by naming social impacts as a critical component of its sociological study and discussing examples that illustrate how innovation can produce disadvantageous effects by race, gender and social class. The authors move forward the discussion of social impacts by elaborating conditions in which innovation is likely to reproduce the status quo as well as ameliorate negative impacts.Originality/valueWhile many studies have explained the conditions that foster innovation, this study pushes the boundaries of the study of innovation – a timely topic for practitioners and scholars in the fields of not only sociology, but management, education and public policy. Accordingly, we move forward the discussion of the social impacts of innovation by identifying the ways in which innovation is likely to reproduce structural inequalities.

“…Furthermore, the government faces challenges in effectively disseminating information and providing necessary training to farmers regarding the use of digital technology (Maulani et al, 2020). It is possible that agricultural digitalization programs are not entirely aligned with the specific conditions and needs at the farmer level, highlighting the importance of tailoring such initiatives to suit the unique circumstances and requirements of individual farmers (Fahmi & Arifianto, 2022).…”

A new challenge has emerged: how to implement innovations in agriculture? The expansion of digital technology has created new opportunities within the agricultural sector, particularly for young farmers, enabling the integration of information and communication technology into digital farming. Employing innovation diffusion theory, this study seeks to ascertain how young farmers perceive the integration of digital technology into various aspects of farming and how these views influence the formation of sustainable value creation. The study area was determined purposively, and this research utilized the case study method by interviewing 80 respondents. The data were analyzed using structural equations and partial least squares models. Using the innovation diffusion theory, the results unveiled that knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation from young farmers significantly and positively affected the sustainable value creation.
