本章通过比较历史案例研究，探索社会创新的根源和发展。具体而言，本章介绍了这一历史讨论的理论和方法框架。然后，它继续讨论从对几个社会创新的历史案例的初步分析中观察到的趋势，并对一个具体案例--智力测验的出现--进行了更详细的讨论。这项研究围绕三个关键趋势和动态贡献了研究结果：新思想如何改变知识景观并为新颖的组合创造空间;“诗人”，“辩论者”和“设计师”（代理人的不同角色）的互补和重叠努力;以及代理人在利基和景观层面发挥作用的重要性。
This chapter explores the roots and developments of social innovation through comparative historical case studies. Specifically, this chapter introduces a theoretical and methodological framework for this historical discussion. It then goes on to discuss trends observed from a preliminary analysis of several historical cases of social innovation and offers a more detailed discussion of one specific case — the emergence of the intelligence test. This research contributes findings around three key trends and dynamics: how new ideas shift the intellectual landscape and create the space for novel combinations; the complimentary and overlapping efforts of ‘poets’, ‘debaters’ and ‘designers’ (different roles for agents); and the importance of agents functioning at both the niche and landscape level.
