The Co-Creation of Multi-Agent Social Innovations: A Bridge Between Service and Social Innovation Research

The research fields of service innovation and social innovation have, until now, been largely disconnected.

As well as this overlap in the focus of research, scholars in both research fields address socioeconomic concerns using multidisciplinary perspectives. This paper provides a framework that can bridge the two research fields.
