“…One of its features could be considered, though, as a useful guiding principle in SI analyses, namely the interconnectedness of technological, organisational and business model innovations, together with the emergence of a new, widely accepted 'common sense'. Further, it could be a useful starting point in case one would like to refine the notion of disruptive social innovations, introduced by Nicholls et al (2015).…”

“…Meta-theoretical schemes are still in short supply in the social innovation field (Nicholls et al 2015) Using an historical approach, however, we see the potential to build toward a more complete theoretical understanding, a metatheory according to Plummer and Fennell's categorization. This meta-theory will not only inform academic inquiry into the increasingly important phenomenon of social innovation, but will also serve as the basis for a meaningful set of evaluation criteria for real-life innovations and innovators.…”

. 2016. How game changers catalyzed, disrupted, and incentivized social innovation: three historical cases of nature conservation, assimilation, and women's rights. ABSTRACT. We explore the impact of "game changers" on the dynamics of innovation over time in three problem domains, that of wilderness protection, women's rights, and assimilation of indigenous children in Canada. Taking a specifically historical and crossscale approach, we look at one social innovation in each problem domain. We explore the origins and history of the development of the National Parks in the USA, the legalization of contraception in the USA and Canada, and the residential school system in Canada.Based on a comparison of these cases, we identify three kinds of game changers, those that catalyze social innovation, which we define as "seminal," those that disrupt the continuity of social innovation, which we label exogenous shocks, and those that provide opportunities for novel combinations and recombinations, which we label as endogamous game changers.

“…Social innovation comes from social experimentation and reshapes power relationships (Manzini, 2014;Mulgan et al, 2007;Nicholls et al, 2015). Social innovation involves social experiences to search for new solutions to unsolved social problems (CajaibaSantana, 2014;Mulgan, 2006).…”

This paper examines what factors are associated with the 2015 pension reform of Korean civil servant as social innovation. We explore what lessons we can learn from the pension reform in terms of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) model. The ACF model allows us to identify how the substantial reform is, relying on policy knowledge and entrepreneurs, possible in terms of political and social consensus. It also clearly demonstrates the possibility of systematic pension reform at an appropriate level through social learning and policy learning. Through the ACF model, we review how South
