• Towards a path-transformative heuristic in inclusive innovation initiatives: an exploratory case in rural communities in Colombia

  Mario Andrés Pinzón Camargo, Gonzalo Ordóñez–Matamoros, Stefan Kuhlmann · 2020 · Innovation and Development

  This study develops a framework to understand how inclusive innovation initiatives transform rural communities. Using a case study in Cumbal, Colombia, the authors identify institutional entrepreneurs as key change agents who drive innovation supported by national entities. The framework successfully explains the transformation process in local communities by combining insights from inclusive innovation, institutional entrepreneurship, and path dependence theories.
