Innovazione sociale urbana e impresa artigiana: una relazione complessa

Abstract

In questo articolo esploriamo il potenziale di innovazione sociale (IS) dell'im- presa artigiana attraverso 6 iniziative realizzate a Venezia tra il 2015 e il 2021. Emerge che l'impresa artigiana può dare un forte impulso ai processi di IS me- diante l'utilizzo condiviso e creativo di competenze cognitive e tecniche. Inoltre, il potenziale di IS è tanto più grande quanto maggiore è la capacità di riconoscere l'IS come esito di un processo sociale e non come esito di un processo tecnico o tecnologico.
