Predmety: *SOCIAL innovation, *INNOVATION management, *ORGANIZATIONAL structure, *TECHNOLOGICAL innovations, ECOLOGICAL resilience, DIGITAL technology
Abstrakt: This research contributes to the field of innovation management by highlighting how crisis conditions drive both social and technological innovation. The study is based on data collected during field visits to Ukraine in 2023-2024, as well as open sources and reports. It offers a significant contribution to understanding how crises accelerate innovation processes and foster new forms of collaboration. By integrating social innovation, ecosystem theory, dual-use technologies, and social resilience, the research presents a multi-dimensional framework that enhances conceptual clarity. The findings deepen the understanding of bottom-up innovation, especially in high-pressure environments where traditional organizational structures are weak or disrupted. The emphasis on dual-use technologies provides valuable insights into how commercial and grassroots innovations can be rapidly adapted to meet constantly shifting threats. Furthermore, the study advances the concept of social resilience within innovation ecosystems, showing how informal networks and decentralized digital platforms support agile, scalable solutions in times of crisis.
