Abstract

Social innovations have as a primary result social change in a new and intentional way. The achievement of this result is the creation of social value, characterized by reducing or eradicating the barriers of exclusion of a group of society. Given the complexity of the problem they serve and the context, it is necessary that they generate another type of additional value, be it economic or environmental. This chapter exposes what is value creation, as well as to establish the main types of value that exist and what motivate its creation and implementation through social innovations by organizations, institutions, and companies that come from all sectors.
