Sažetak
Social innovations are doubly innovative: in their means and in their goals. They can develop as new relationships or collaborations, a business model, an developed way of working or improve a process within an organization. Qualitative research, made for the purposes of this paper, has proven the connection of the concept of social innovation and the Caritas institution. It turned out that there are several examples of already applied social innovations in their work. It also showed that concept is partly unknown to the stakeholders, in the core of it’s terminology. The research showed the desire, among all stakeholders, to implement social innovation concept in the future. Currently, the biggest obstacles on this path are present lack of stable funding, coordination support in education and volunteers. It is also the greatest potential for the progress, on which needs to be worked on in the future.
