Abstract

This chapter explores the criticisms in the recent debate on Social Innovation Ecosystems (SIEs) and points out the limits of a tautological reasoning that does little to help understand the real composition, scope and consequences of SIEs. Based on a systematic and conceptual literature review and from the gaps and advances observed in recent literature, this chapter presents some perspectives regarding the research agenda on SIEs. The conclusions emphasize the importance of developing less normative frameworks, avoiding standard solutions and universal models to explain social innovation and its consequences and to consider the multiplicity of local experiences, acknowledging the relevance of empirical research.
