Social Innovation in Emerging Economies: A Resource-Based View Perspective1

摘要

The current literature interfacing strategy and innovation is largely based on the Western perspective that innovation is mostly technology driven and therefore resource intensive. Emerging economies often have to cope with limited resources to achieve innovation. Building on the resource-based view theory, the approach to innovation is rethought here from the perspective of these emerging countries and applied to the case of a public transport innovation in the city of Curitiba in Brazil.
