“…According to this view, rather than tapping into underserved consumers, grassroots innovators aspire to address problems that are essentially and primarily social [60] providing appropriate [43], socially acceptable [5] and environmentally sustainable [66] solutions. According to Gupta [67] and Fressoli et al [68], including grassroots entrepreneurship and innovation within the range of public policy would not only lead to the delivery of affordable products/services but also to the strengthening of the activity of actors such as Civil Society Organizations (CSO) [69] and NGOs [70], empower local communities [71][72][73][74][75] fill institutional voids [76,77] and promote more inclusive patterns of development [78,79].…”

Abstract:A shift in the entrepreneurial landscape is taking place brought about by grassroots innovators with little formal education and technological knowhow, living and working in penurious environments. This research represents an emerging third wave of literature on Bottom of the Pyramid innovation, where products are offered for and by the underserved. Using primary and secondary data derived from four cases of grassroots entrepreneurs in the Indian Subcontinent, the study explores the phenomenon where resource scarce entrepreneurs craft solutions that are environmental friendly, with low overall ownership costs, and use locally available material. We argue that the grassroots phenomenon can be fruitfully exploited to achieve the new Sustainable Development Goals proposed by the UN as a post-2015 strategy for the future of global governance. These innovations might have a tremendous impact not only in terms of serving unmet and ignored consumer needs, but also longer term impacts through enhanced productivity, sustainability, poverty reduction and inclusion promotion.

“…-Aspects related to the organizational culture in public institutions: habits in the public procurement proceedings The low level of knowledge of the personnel within the contracting authorities concerning the role and importance of the activities with social objectives for the community generates disinterest in facilitating the award of public contracts in favour of SEs. Contracting authorities prefer awarding public contracts based on the lowest price, avoiding, for reasons of simplification of the public procurement proceedings, to use calculation algorithms which include several tender assessment factors (Nugroho 2011;Palmujoki et al 2010;Muñoz 2009;Muñoz and Tinsley 2008). -Additional costs generated by the award of public contracts to SE The facilitation of the access of SEs to the public procurement market, by using specific tools, could generate adverse effects, from the perspective of the breach of the principle of free competition, of the emergence of inequalities among economic operators and of the inefficient redistribution of resources.…”

European social enterprises' participation in the public procurement process is low, even if the European public procurement law allows using special provisions for these entities. Encouraging the participation of social enterprises in the public procurement process is an important part of the effort to modernize the EU social policy. This paper demonstrates that, despite the great importance of social enterprises for the European economy, strategies on the access of social enterprises to the EU's public procurement market are less known by the employees of the public contracting authorities in EU Member States.Résumé La participation des entreprises sociales européennes dans la passation des marchés publics est faible, même si le droit des marchés publics européen permet le recours à des dispositions particulières prévues pour ces entités. Encourager la participation des entreprises sociales dans la passation des marchés publics s'inscrit dans un effort visant à moderniser la politique sociale de l'UE. Cet article démontre que, malgré l'importance des entreprises sociales pour l'économie européenne, les stratégies sur l'accès de ces entreprises aux marchés publics de l'UE sont moins connues par les employés des pouvoirs publics adjudicateurs des É tats membres.Zusammenfassung Die Teilnahme europäischer Sozialunternehmen an der öffentlichen Auftragsvergabe ist gering, obwohl das europäische Vergaberecht besondere Bestimmungen für diese Unternehmen zulässt. Die Förderung einer Beteiligung der Sozialunternehmen an der öffentlichen Auftragsvergabe spielt eine wichtige Rolle bei den Bemühungen zur Modernisierung der Sozialpolitik der EU. In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt, dass trotz der großen Bedeutung der Sozialunternehmen für die europäische Wirtschaft die Strategien für den Zugang der Sozialunternehmen zur öffentlichen Auftragsvergabe auf dem EU-Markt den Mitarbeitern öffentlicher Auftraggeber in den EU-Mitgliedstaaten weniger bekannt sind.Resumen La participación de las empresas sociales europeas en el proceso de aprovisionamiento público es baja, aunque la ley de aprovisionamiento público europeo permite utilizar disposiciones especiales para estas entidades. Alentar la participación de las empresas sociales en el proceso de aprovisionamiento público es una parte importante del esfuerzo para modernizar la política social de la UE. El presente documento demuestra que, a pesar de la gran importancia de las empresas sociales para la economía europea, las estrategias sobre el acceso de las empresas sociales al mercado de aprovisionamiento público de la UE son menos conocidas por los empleados de las autoridades de contratación pública en los Estados Miembros de la UE.

“…Esta preocupación ha sido poco explorada en la amplia literatura sobre economía de la innovación, sin embargo, una parte importante de las categorías que se utilizan para analizar la organización económica son pertinentes para explicar el comportamiento innovador de las organizaciones públicas. Para Nugroho (2011), lo que importa no es la motivación del beneficio sino cómo se adoptan y difunden las ideas para lograr metas sociales más amplias.…”

ResumenEste artículo contribuye a comprender cómo influye la adopción y absorción de nuevas tecnologías, en especial la telemedicina, en el cambio de las estructuras técnicas y cognitivas de las organizaciones de salud y en las percepciones y toma de decisiones de sus especialistas. Esto afecta la configuración de los procesos de aprendizaje, innovación y cambio microinstitucional del sector público de la salud, particularmente en unidades de primer nivel. Se analiza cómo estos procesos influyen en los servicios de atención médica. Se busca explicar cómo influye la adopción y absorción de nuevas tecnologías en la reconfiguración de los procesos de aprendizaje colaborativo, la creación y transformación del conocimiento y los modos de coordinación de los distintos cúmulos de información y conocimiento, lo que afecta a los servicios de salud. Se argumenta que la telemedicina es una tecnología social que permite la difusión de información y conocimiento específico para la toma de decisiones críticas y complejas en un menor tiempo, afectando el desarrollo de habilidades, conocimiento y modos de coordinación. Se realiza un estudio de caso múltiple-exploratorio. Los casos a estudiar son unidades médicas de la Secretaría de Salud en Oaxaca, Chiapas y Guerrero; la unidad de análisis se refiere a los proyectos de telemedicina implementados. El trabajo de campo se realizó entre junio de 2011 y enero de 2012.Palabras clave: conocimiento, innovación, aprendizaje colaborativo, modos de coordinación, cambio microinstitucional, telemedicina. Clasificación jel: 033, I1. AbstractThis paper contributes to understand how the adoption and absorption of new technologies, in particular telemedicine, influence on change of technical and cognitive structures of healthcare units, and on changes of perceptions and making decisions. This change affect the configuration of learning, innovations and micro-institutional processes. It also analyzes how these processes influence on healthcare services. We will try to explain how the adoption of new technologies influence on the reconfiguration of learning processes, on the creation of new knowledge, and on the modes of coordination of different cumuli of information and knowledge, and how that reconfiguration influences on the healthcare services. We suggest that telemedicine is a social technology that allows transferring of specific knowledge and information in order to take critical and complex decisions in a short time, affecting the development of skills, knowledge, and the modes of coordination among the actors. It will be illustrated by an exploratory multiple-case study. The cases are medical units that internalized telemedicine services in Oaxaca, Chiapas and Guerrero. In these cases, telemedicine projects are the unit of analysis. The fieldwork was done between June of 2011 and January of 2012.
