“…superior knowledge resource; that contributes to a better future knowledge worker. Scheuerle et al, (2015) also revealed that the result of deployment of superior knowledge resource within social innovation outcome on the issues of massive unemployment, contributes towards increase in employment among people and also increase in consumption of economic benefits. Moreover, Cajaiba-Santana (2014) and Spiess-Knafl et al, (2015) highlighted that social innovation with the presence of superior knowledge resource leads to the introduction of superior products, processes and services that have a multiplier effects on the economic value in terms of profit maximization, market share monopoly and increase in private performance.…”

The current knowledge-innovation led economy requires a new paradigm of innovation to address critical issues, among others, namely: poor social health, poor living conditions, poor education systems, public income inequality, massive unemployment, poor economic growth and lack of new technological advances. Thus this paper explores the concept of social innovation in the context of strategic knowledge management processes. This paper suggested that social innovation is an outstanding solution in addressing social, economic and technological issues highlighted above, because the outcome of social innovation encompasses social, economic and technological payoffs concurrently. Strategic knowledge management processes, creates superior knowledge resource that is regarded as a new and novel solution that can be embedded into products, processes and services which in turn leads to the outcome of improving the quality of people’s life, stimulate economic growth and enhance technological advances i.e. social innovation. The old paradigm of innovation that refers to technological innovation is seen inadequate and obsolete in dealing with aforesaid social, economic and technological issues because it is very much focused and centred in fulfilling private needs. Therefore, social innovation and strategic knowledge management processes must be seriously considered by the policy makers, private sectors and also public institutions given the massive contribution that it might bring forward to many nations’ core aspirations.

The aim of this paper is to give a preliminary empirical insight on the potential impactof strategic knowledge management processes, i.e. knowledge creation, knowledgetransfer and knowledge application, on social innovation as a new innovation outcomestrategy within the Malaysian university-industry-community knowledge transferpartnership. Based on survey of relevant literatures and the gaps discovered, a researchframework is then proposed. The processes of knowledge creation, knowledge transferand knowledge application is proposed as independent variables. Social innovation is thedependent variable of the study. The preliminary empirical data was generated throughstructured questionnaires. The project leaders of the selected samples of Malaysianuniversity-industry-community knowledge transfer partnership projects were chosen toanswer the questionnaires distributed. The findings of this study show that all variablesitems are well above the acceptable level of construct reliability which is determinedby the Cronbachâ€™s Alpha value. Furthermore, the descriptive analysis also shows thatrespondents were consistent in their responses to the measurement items used as theindependent and dependent variables in the framework of this study.

“…On the other hand, it should be noted that there are differences between countries in the recognition and measurement of social impact, as in Belgium the number of jobs created, economic indicators and citizens served are important factors (Huysentruyt et al, 2013), while in Germany the impact is assessed based on the scalability of the proposed social innovation (Scheuerle et al, 2013). In this context, it is expected that case studies analysis (metasynthesis) will provide a valuable contribution to this discussion.…”

Objective: To analyze how social innovation actions and practices presented in case studies, generate social impact. Methodology: The meta-synthesis was adopted, which, by identifying empirical research (case studies) and establishing comparative analyses, revealed new possibilities for investigation, deepening and theoretical expansion. Results: The results show the heterogeneity of the concept and actions of social innovation, identify its promoters, driving and/or enabling elements, actor networks, and forms of social impact, and link social innovation and impact to other approaches and opportunities for innovation. Theoretical/Methodological contributions: The study was able to synthesize preponderant elements to reach social impact from social innovation actions, themes little explored in an integrated way. In addition, it explored the meta-synthesis method, reinforcing the application of this research strategy as a tool for building theories and identifying findings that surpass the original conclusions of primary case studies. Originality: Given the differences in social impact detection and measurement, and the lack of a standard for social impact generation through social innovation, this study summarizes empirical findings, categorizes, and identifies aspects and elements that condition social impact generation through social innovation. Social / Management Contributions: In addition to portraying conceptual aspects, drivers and forms of social impact, this study offers a discussion on the integration between driving agents, boosters and networks of actors that can help practitioners of social innovation, public and social managers in stimulating and generation positive results (social impact) from this innovation.
