Social innovation is defined as new ideas or solution proposals to the needs of humans which have not been fulfilled to increase their life standards and welfare. Although after 1990s social innovation has started to attract academicians attentions there are few empirical studies on this subject yet. The aim of this study is to develop a valid and reliable social innovation instrument at individual level. In this regard a comprehensive field study was conducted. The field study consists of 767 senior university students from various faculties of 10 universities reflecting different geographical and socio- economic levels to provide a country-wide generalization. According to the findings a reliable and valid social innovation scale is employed unidimensionally with eight items. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

(2014) Duygu HALAÇ SEÇKİN; Cagri Bulut; hakan eren; Bulut, Cagri; Seçkin, Duygu Halaç; Eren, Hakan
Özellikle 1990’dan sonra bilimsel çalışmaların yoğunlaştığı sosyal yenilikçilik kavramı insanların hayat standartlarını ve refahlarını yükseltebilmek daha önce karşılanmamış ihtiyaçlara çözüm önerileri ya da yeni fikirler sunabilmek olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türk kültürüne uygun birey düzeyinde geçerli ve güvenilir bir sosyal yenilikçilik ölçeğinin geliştirilerek özellikle Yönetim yazınına kazandırılmasıdır. Bu doğrultuda anket yönteminin kullanıldığı farklı coğrafi ve sosyo-ekonomik bölgelerden üniversitelerin farklı fakültelerinden son sınıf öğrencilerinin katıldığı bir saha çalışması tasarlanmıştır. Yapılan analizler sonucu tek boyutlu sekiz maddeden oluşan geçerli ve güvenilir bireysel sosyal yenilikçilik eğilimini ölçen bir ölçek geliştirilmiştir.

Which One Triggers the Other? Technological or Social Innovation
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2013) Cagri Bulut; Hakan Eren; Duygu Seckin Halac; Halac, Duygu Seckin; Bulut, Cagri; Eren, Hakan
The term innovation has sometimes been used as a synonym for technological innovation until the concept of social innovation attracted academic attention. Since then these two types of innovation have been investigated individually. It can be claimed that despite the great importance of social innovation studies technological innovation studies received more attention. In addition there are limited studies that have examined technological and social innovation together. The aim of this study was to examine the causal relationship between technological and social innovations. The impact of entrepreneurial characteristics on social innovation was also analyzed. This study was based on a comprehensive field study including 767 university students from 10 universities from different regions of Turkey. Regression analyses and structural equation modeling confirmed that social and technological innovation were related to one another and both were correlated with a particular constellation of personal characteristics.
