2 Innvatins expand the range f human actin... Earth rise frm mn rbit, December 24, 1968 Sciety generates innvatin... and thus create spectacular achievements: Neither ne big innvatin, nr a series f innvatins nly.»»» We bserve manifestatins f pwerful sci-technical systems, enabled by a particular culture f innvatin A walk in the sunshine, July 21, 1969 The culture f innvatin favurs changes accrding t riginated sediments f scietal structures : Technlgy made skin f sciety The pwer structures in sciety Mdes f cmmunicatin in sciety, between individuals, rganisatins, rganisms and artifacts Frames f reference, framing manners, mres, myths & rites The balance r imbalance f emtins in sciety (security / insecurity, hpe / fear, empathy / hatred )

3 Varius factrs affecting scietal develpment Evlutin f Brains Scial change, develpment, crisis and Grand Challenges : Resurces and slutins Innvative Technlgies Cllabrative intelligence & intelligent cllabratin Scial Innvatins >> Cultural Evlutin

4 Surce f data: Schmid, Jsef, 2002: Whlfahrtsstaaten im Vergleich. Opladen: Leske+Budrich. The emergence f the welfare state Cuntry (examples) Years f initial implementatin Germany Austria Sweden United Kingdm Japan USA Scial security / insurances cncerning accidents illness (health prv.) age (pensins) unempl yment family care First cuntry: Germany Germany Germany France 1905 New Zeal Bismarck s scial plicy refrms? Five pillars f the welfare state

5 Secnd thughts abut grand challenges The five pillars f the welfare state are the result f successfully implemented respnses t the grand challenges f the industrial sciety Outcme during the glden age f capitalism (Eric Hbsbawm): An adequate part f prductivity gains was used t avert mst existential threats t scial security, health and well-being frm mst f the ppulatin in highly develped industrial scieties; enabling as well the emancipatin f a previusly suppressed wrking class t becme fully recgnized citizens with justified hpes fr better life fr them and their children

6 Scial innvatin petty innvatins fr grand challenges?? Which are the grand challenges f the knwledge sciety, and which are apprpriate respnses t adapt and amelirate the welfare system(s)? Ageing? Nt fundamentally new, nly in quantitative terms > Refrms f pensin systems, new frms financial basis. Hwever, scial innvatin in scial demand, scietal challenges, and systemic change perspectiv required. Climate change? Fundamentally new n previus experience > Adaptatin required, again: scial innvatins n all levels all challenges addressed by the Eurpe 2020 Strategy, yet mre than that the Eurpean Agenda (f institutins and civil sciety rganisatins) shuld include: The liberalized and deregulated ecnmic system (particularly the finance industry) itself has becme the mst immediate grand challenge: Besides destabilizatin f markets and state budgets, it is dwngrading rising numbers f lsers f glbalisatin, instigating fear, unrest and cnflict ver grwing disparities. Instead f hpes fr better future f future generatins, the md is turning dwnwards twards expectatins f less secure and mre endangered futures, with demcracy, the welfare state, and human rights at risk.

7 THE GREAT TRANSFORMATION Karl Planyi, 1944: Ecnmic prcesses separate frm sciety, dminate scial relatins instead f being regulated t benefit scietal needs Ecnmy Sciety Sciety becmes an annex t the ecnmy and market frces Will there be scial innvatins t integrate ecnmy in sciety? Humankind wns affluent knwledge & ther resurces. Hwever, t little f existing capacities is used in current practises. Sciety Ecnmy Envirnment

12 The prblem behind the challenges *) *) F.-J. Radermacher Financialisatin : Making mney withut real value added Depletin f prductive ecnmic resurces Financializatin is defined as a pattern f accumulatin in which prfit making ccurs increasingly thrugh financial channels rather than thrugh trade and cmmdity prductin Krippner, Greta R., 2004: What is Financializatin? ; mime, UCLA Department f Scilgy, p. 14. Cf. T. I. Palley, 2007: Financialisatin. What it is and why it matters. The rise f scial innvatin in view f austerity measures and declining welfare: Making mre f less?

14 THE CONCEPT OF SOCIAL INNOVATION An analytical definitin f Scial Innvatin *) Distinctin between idea and implementatin: an idea becmes an innvatin in the prcess f its factual realizatin it changes scial actin and practices Scial innvatins are new practices fr reslving scietal challenges, which are adpted and utilized by the individuals, scial grups and rganizatins cncerned.... deliberately different t: Scial innvatins are innvatins that are scial bth in their ends and their means. (cf. Geff Mulgan, EC) *) Zentrum für Sziale Innvatin, 2012: All innvatins are scially relevant ZSI-Discussin Paper 13, p. 2:

22 CHANGING (NATIONAL) SYSTEMS OF INNOVATION System f Innvatin, intrduced by B. A. Lundvall, 1985) Specified by Chris Freeman, 1987: Natinal System f Innvatin : The netwrk f institutins in the public and private sectrs whse activities and interactins initiate, imprt, mdify and diffuse new technlgies. A mdificatin, with mre scilgical tuch, sme 25 years later: A human scial netwrk that behaves like a scibilgical system, wherein peple have develped patterns f behavir that minimize transactin csts caused by scial barriers resulting frm gegraphy, lack f trust, differences in language and culture, and inefficient scial netwrks. Hwang & Hrwitt, Changes required innvating the innvatin systems: Integrate scial innvatin in existing innvatin systems Transcend the cncept f natinal systems f innvatin

23 The tracks f internatinal research n innvatin demnstrate that the technlgy-riented paradigm shaped by the industrial sciety des nt cver the brad range f innvatins indispensable in the transitin frm an industrial t a knwledge and services-based sciety: Such fundamental scietal changes require the inclusin f scial innvatins in a paradigm shift f the innvatin system.
