A magyarországi járások versenyelőnyének elemzése társadalmi innovációs potenciál alapján, 2020
Competitive advantage analysis of Hungarian districts based on social innovation potential, 2020

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the social innova-tion potential and competitiveness of municipalities in terms of competitive advantage- and disadvantage. While our previous research on social innovation studied independently the processes, levels, stakeholders and relationships with technical and technological innova-tion, the current study analyses the complex index created by social innova-tion potential. The link between social innovation potential and the factors of competitive advantage can be estab-lished on the conceptual plane of sus-tainable value creation, seeking to link the concept of competition to the en-hancement of social well-being and prosperity in a new way. The paper pays particular attention to the measurement challenges of the social innovation pro-cess, as well as to the impact measure-ment and sustainability assessment of social innovation initiatives. This re-search defines a complex indicator of the social innovation potential of Hun-garian districts and is using the indicator to examine the extent to which key terri-torial processes are related to the char-acteristics defined by the indicator. In the analysis, the authors discuss the rela-tionship between territorial competi-tiveness and social innovation potential in Hungary's districts. The study also draws conclusions on how the results may be applied in the economic devel-opment decision-making processes of the districts.
