INnovation through bIg daTa and socIal enTreprEneurship

The purpose of this project is to examine and facilitate innovation through big data and social entrepreneurship. INITIATE aims to identify how entrepreneurs and policy makers can benefit from social innovation, take advantage of the big data analytics applications that are available, filter them and proceed to decisions that will help them innovate for social good. The overall vision of INITIATE has been documented in two works: 1) the Digital Transformation and Sustainability (DTS) model, and the Big Data for Social Innovation (BD4SI) framework. The main outcome of INITIATE was the theoretical framework, that was developed and tested empirically, leading to big data for social innovation framework (BD4SI), that builds on the theory of affordances combined with concepts from institutional theory. We identify five BDA affordances, that are predictability, mappability, assessability, discernability, and researchability as perceived by the actors who are involved in social innovations. Furthermore, we identified several institutional voids and supports that influence the actualization of BDA affordances. The successful actualization of them indicates traces of societal change in three specific areas: environment, education, and socioeconomic development. INITIATE contributes by offering BD4SI as a holistic framework to understand the process by which BDA affordances facilitate social innovation for societal change in developing countries

Цел на проекта

The power of big data and their applications is evident through the enormous attention they have received over the past few years, with the majority of the research focusing on solving technical and business problems. However, the challenge remains on how to harness the potential of big data in order to come up with innovative solutions on various societal problems. Big data has the potential to change the way entrepreneurs, as well as the other stakeholders of a social ecosystem, take decisions, and develop new paths to create social innovation (SI) by taking informed/data-driven decisions. Nonetheless, there is limited understanding on how social ecosystems need to change to embrace the advancement that big data entails. The purpose of INITIATE is to institutionalize INnovation through bIg daTa and socIal enTreprEneurship, and to examine how to successfully exploit big data towards achieving social good and sustainable change. INITIATE will build on the current state of the art, and go beyond it by merging and extending the findings with insights from the different stakeholders involved in the SI process (entrepreneurs, policy makers, social innovators). The project will be based on a rigorous research process consisting of systematic literature review and empirical investigations and it will develop and test a framework of best practices. Interested stakeholders will use the framework as a roadmap to successfully exploit big data for SI. INITIATE will offer practical and theoretical implications through the development of prototype applications which will clearly showcase the impact of big data on addressing societal challenges. Through INITIATE both the researcher and the host institution will benefit by the transfer of knowledge, and the researcher will develop his skills further and acquire new ones. The host will benefit by the researchers’ developed knowledge, especially since this is consistent with the department’s goals and strategic focus areas.
