Innowacje społeczne jako determinanta rozwoju lokalnego
Social innovations as a determinant of local development

Summary/Abstract: Contemporary problems of globalization necessitate the processes of strengthening on the local and regional scale and many scientists who deal with local and regional development point to a new phenomenon called glocalisation. This strengthening, however, requires building a constant competitive advantage of local economies through innovation system which is often called as social one. Under these circumstances, any new initiative in the local section exposing its social meaning, seems to be very desirable. The search for innovative ways to achieve the specific objectives through the new organizational forms, regulations, as well as a new way of life, becomes necessary in the conditions of these changes because the local development must guarantee the improvement of living standards of people, social groups and communities in any dimensions. Such activities often lead to increasing the abilities to diagnose and solve problems in various aspects of life.
