「社會創新」是發展與治理領域的新興概念,相關討論的出現與歐美國家社區發展的自主創新模式與實踐經驗密切相關,相關研究可見於社區發展、創意研究、社會發展的挑戰與在地發展等議題研究文獻中。以學科領域而言,社會創新研究屬跨領域研究,同時受到企業管理與社會科學研究學者的關注,但兩者之問題意識有所差異。企業管理研究關注社會創新,主要受企業社會責任(CSR)之影響,強調企業經營或創業在營運獲利同時實踐社會價值,社會企業為其主要研究對象;社會科學研究關注社會創新,主要是著眼於因應全球化時代脈絡下發展的挑戰,強調兼顧經濟與社會發展之包容性發展的(inclusive development)重要性,社會經濟、治理是主要研究課題。本課程將以社會創新做為一個研究概念與社會實踐為主軸,以既有的創新與發展研究及相關理論為主要對話對象,介紹與討論相關文獻。
能力項目說明
本課程旨在提供學生對於社會創新相關議題的基本瞭解,包括:社會創新概念的出現及其定義、社會創新相關辯論與政策、國內外社會創新實踐/案例、社會創新理論的建構、對社會創新的批判等。本課程特別希望修課的學生關注以下重要議題:全球與臺灣社會發展脈絡下社會創新的意義為何;社會創新與社會福利、社會發展的相關討論與研究;社會創新實踐案例;社會創新與創新理論;以及社會創新之研究。課程結束時,修課的學生必須能夠對於社會創新的概念、實踐與研究有基本的瞭解,並嘗試就臺灣或全球重要發展議題提出社會創新構想,甚至參與社會創新相關提案競賽。
