Abstract: | Social innovation requires extensive networking, communication,
and collaboration among various social actors. This article
presents an approach to fostering and supporting social innovation
through the combined exploitation of multiple social media.
Furthermore, a methodology is developed for evaluating this
approach, based on sound theoretical foundations: The wicked
problems theory and the diffusion of innovation theory. This
methodology is used for evaluating three pilot applications of this
approach, organized in cooperation with members of the European
Parliament. |
