An exploration of potential growth pathways of social innovations in rural Europe

Bill Slee, Nico Polman · 2021 · Innovation The European Journal of Social Science Research

Summary. This paper develops a typology of growth pathways for social innovations in rural Europe. The authors synthesize existing frameworks from literature to clarify how social innovations expand and develop differently across rural contexts. They apply rural development theories to explain why certain pathways emerge in rural areas, addressing the lack of clear conceptualization around both social innovation itself and its scaling mechanisms.
