Abstract :

 

It has never been so urgent the task of finding a new way of thinking in nowadays world. This is what the social innovation concept is about. At this moment, there is no international recognized definition for Social Innovation although the term is widely used. This may be in part due to the recent appearance of the concept. In this article, social Innovation is understood as all those actions across which an organization develops answers for the solution of its needs in a solidary and enclosing way, working in network with various social actors (other organizations, the State, the communities, the employees, etc.) And these actions deliver in new social practices. Here, work is seen not only as the production of new technologies or new products or services on the market, but also seeks to generate new practices of management inside the organizations leading them to be more solidary, fairer and equitable. In this way, social innovation improves the quality of life inside the organization and in their surroundings. This research describes two cases of social innovation in Bogota, displaying the success factor and the processes that allowed their implementation. The methodology used was qualitative and descriptive.
