HERNANDEZ, IVÁN DARÍO  and  SANCHEZ, OSCAR. OPEN SOCIAL INNOVATION IN POLICY AND STRATEGY DESIGN FOR SUSTAINABLE FORMALIZATION: COLOMBIAN CASE OF COLLABORATIVE GOVERNMENT. Rev.fac.cienc.econ. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.2, pp.47-61. ISSN 0121-6805.

This paper shows the results of a case study based on a research project - action to contribute in the construction of pathways to solve business and labor informality in Colombia (2011 - 2013). This study was based on observation and reflection process in order to understand success or failure determinants of a collaborative effort when challenging social objectives (social innovation) from a mixed environment (government and private sector). The project was developed by Research Group on Evolution and Institutional Economics of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, funded by Colciencias in alliance with the Cámara de Comercio de Bucaramanga. The author found that the capacity of an inter- institutional team to produce results with significant impact on society (achieving social innovations) is built on the strengthen of inter-institutional networks allowing the emergence of a new mega-institution with legitimacy, resources, knowledge and strategic alignment enough to harmonize efforts within each institution.

Keywords : Social innovation; Open innovation; Formalization; Employment; Collaborative government.
