Emancipatory Indigenous social innovation: Shifting power through culture and technology

Ella Henry, J. A. Newth, Chellie Spiller · 2017 · Journal of Management & Organization

Summary. This paper examines how Indigenous Māori social innovators address social disparities through entrepreneurship and cultural approaches. Using a case study of a healthcare entrepreneur in New Zealand's Far North, the authors argue that meaningful social change requires power shifts rather than simply wielding power. They demonstrate how Indigenous social enterprise can overcome market and policy failures to serve underserved populations and transform healthcare provision.
