Unveiling the Potential of Digital Social Innovation:A Bibliometric Analysis
Digital social innovation(DSI)brings new opportunities for integrating the dual advantages of technological and social innovation.This study commences with a precise definition of DSI,subsequently utili-zing bibliometric techniques to meticulously review the pertinent literature.Organized around nine key clus-ters,the research constructs a two-dimensional knowledge framework centered on social orientation and the innovation process.Firstly,DSI evolves from an initial phase characterized by digital empowerment across various sectors such as business,politics,society,and daily life,to its current paradigm,underpinned by a robust digital innovation ecosystem and oriented towards digital social entrepreneurship.This evolution is marked by an expansive social orientation,which is directed towards the realization of a complex array of values.Secondly,the innovation process is depicted as a cyclical,interactive development centered on digital technology,where various actors engage actively or passively with the social environment.The proposed knowledge framework offers a novel theoretical lens for deepening our understanding of social innovation phe-nomena propelled or enabled by digital technology,thereby fostering the growth of domestic research in digital social innovation theory and bolstering the implementation of digital transformation strategies.
