Abstract

A networked system of innovation that combines knowledge, learning, research, innovation and capability building combined with social entrepreneurship can provide an alternative framework to the study of development and underdevelopment in general and African integrated development in particular. In addition to helping to re-frame key concepts about systems of innovation, we also seek to re-conceptualise innovation for development towards an approach that adds value from a social innovation and social entrepreneurship perspective. A new focusing device can be formulated as the “a Networked Innovation and Social Entrepreneurship Development System”(NISED) in order to incorporate knowledge, learning and competence building (KLIC) in the process of undertaking an integrated African development. A paradigm shift is needed to change entrepreneurship mainly validated by market success to social entrepreneurship mainly validated by social, economic, knowledge and environmental gains and success.
