“…However, in spite of this direct link, it is noteworthy to mention that the two variables do not depend on each other. This review found several authors who discuss social innovation without mentioning social entrepreneurship (Adams & Hess, 2010;Bouchard, 2012;Cajaiba-Santana, 2014;Froud et al, 2010;Linton, 2009;Spena & de Chiara, 2012). Additionally, social entrepreneurship is critical with respect to social issues, but it is not a key determinant of social innovation (Dawson & Daniel, 2010).…”

“…In the papers reviewed, several authors discuss the relationship between social innovation and social development. They coincide in that both social innovation and social development seek to strengthen social structure and that social innovation facilitates social development (Adams & Hess, 2010;Bouchard, 2012;Cajaiba-Santana, 2014;Dacin et al, 2011;Dawson & Daniel, 2010;Froud et al, 2010;Maak & Stoetter, 2012).…”

“…For other authors, social innovation basically refers to the development of new strategies or tools that acquire relevance with the improvement of social welfare and the creation of value for society (Adams & Hess, 2010;Bouchard, 2012;Cajaiba-Santana, 2014;Dawson & Daniel, 2010). Moreover, social innovation can be understood as a collective process that involves social ability (López-Isaza , 2014).…”

It structures the themes and dimensions of scholarly debates on financial inclusion in the literature highlighting avenues for future research to fill various gaps. Design/methodology:This scoping literature review rigorously identifies the most relevant research and variables pertaining to financial inclusion and social innovation.Findings: Based on a scoping literature review, a comprehensive framework of key concepts of financial inclusion, scholarly contributions, countries and variables is presented. Research limitations/implications:Owing to the methodological approach of this paper and its rather theoretical nature, this research seeks to enrich scientific debates pertaining to the empirical data displayed, especially on the case of Colombia. Practical implications:The most central variables that are linked to the theme of financial inclusion are explored, and hence this paper forms a basis for future qualitative and quantitative studies. Social implications:This research article contributes to public policy making on financial inclusion aimed at reducing levels of socio-economic inequality.-582-Intangible Capital -https://doi.org/10.3926/ic.946 Originality/value: In business and management research a degree of conceptual confusion prevails on the theme of financial inclusion.

“…Thus, the analytical dimensions of social innovations proposed by Tardif and Harrison (2005) and the classification of the actors developed by Rollin and Vincent (2007) can be considered adequate for understanding the formation of collective enterprises in the handicraft sector, since they permit the identification of the main elements within the solutions developed with a considerable number of actors, which had previously been noted by Bouchard (2012). The studied social innovations sought primarily to meet the income generation, employment and, in some cases, the social needs of the individuals involved.…”

Social innovations are seen as alternatives to address social and environmental problems facing humanity. However, the term covers a broad range of definitions which can include a variety of initiatives. Based on analytical dimensions of social innovations, this study sought to assess to what extent the emergence of collective enterprises in the Brazilian handicraft sector is consistent with the dimensions postulated in the literature. Drawing on a multiple case study, the results showed that the analytical dimensions of social innovation identified the main elements involved in developing solutions with a significant number of actors, which indicates they are appropriate for understanding the formation of collective enterprises in the handicraft sector. This study has enabled, therefore, an understanding of how social solutions are built collectively and can be used to generate other social innovations or improvements to existing ones.
