Creating a innovating social-economic environment is a key to to helping the development of society based on knowledge. The realisation of the innovation policy takes place at the local government level. The main strategy of development is created at the central level but it’s the local government is responsible for implementing that strategy. There can be observed a wrong understanding of innovation. Innovation is not only connected with new technologies and so it is more important now then ever to build a social attitude of innovation promotion.

EN
A social enterprise is an innovative phenomenon in which every day entrepreneurial problems are solved by an entrepreneurial initiative of cooperating individuals. Espe-cially in regions with large social and human capital, among communities with high trust, sensitivity and a sense of common social purpose in business, people discover that together we can do more, especially in our small homelands that constitute the microcosm of economic life. The aim of the article is to show that in the era of rapid technological progress, social innovations are a boundary condition for the survival of not only social enterprises, but also commercial ones, which to a smaller or larger extent also realize or can achieve social goals.

Innowacje społeczne w konsumpcji rozumiane jako nowe rozwiązanie, zaspokajające potrzeby społeczne w sposób doskonalszy od wcześniej stosowanych rozwiązań mogą mieć zastosowanie w różnych skalach funkcjonowania podmiotów konsumpcji – począwszy od mikroskali (pojedyncze zastosowania), poprzez skalę mezo (lokalne lub regionalne zastosowanie), skończywszy na makroskali (krajowe lub szersze). Głównym beneficjentem tych rozwiązań jest społeczeństwo ogółem, gdyż celem nadrzędnym innowacji społecznych jest poprawa jakości życia grup społecznych i całego społeczeństwa. Celem opracowania jest rozpoznanie zalet oraz wad innowacji w konsumpcji, a także czynników stymulujących i ograniczających ich rozwój w naszym kraju. W pracy wykorzystano informacje uzyskane w trakcie zogniskowanego wywiadu grupowego, przeprowadzonego w 2016 r. na próbie 12 osób.

Social innovations comprise new products, services, models, markets and processes, which serve meeting society’s needs in a more productive way than the so far existing solutions. The main beneficiary of these solutions is society at large because the goal of social innovation is to improve the quality of life of social groups and society as a whole. The aim of the study is to identify advantages and disadvantages of innovations in consumption and factors, which may determine development of social innovations in Poland. The primary data used in the paper are of qualitative character and they come from focus group interview conducted in 2016.
