Abstract
Context/Purpose: Social innovations provide unique solutions for unmet social needs and policy makers should measure these needs to develop these kinds of innovation. The present study aimed to provide a framework for assessing social innovations at organization level.
Methodology: This is an applied research in terms of purpose and was performed in two parts as a mixed research method. Accordingly, in the first part, using qualitative meta-synthesis research methods, and in the second part, using the survey method and by utilizing from content validity evaluation, explanation of the model was performed.
Findings: By selecting and evaluating 75 studies initial framework was provided. Afterward, in order to revise the framework extracted by meta-synthesis according to the Organizations in Iran, a semi-structured interview was used to collect data from experts, and the final model was provided based on 4 dimensions with 16 concepts and 56 codes.
Conclusion: Researchers by the present model can present a pattern to estimate the value of the products of social innovation by using this model based on the context, input and processes of formation.
