Abstract

The relevance of digital social innovation as a means to mitigate grand challenges has increasingly being recognized. It is becoming evident that affordable and easily adaptable technological solutions might be more impactful for solving the problems of the marginalized than cutting-edge technologies that are difficult to manage and maintain in resource-constrained environments. This chapter examines how the technoficing approach is leveraged to create social impact in the marginalized contexts. Deploying the Gandhian framework of economic development, we highlight the essential ingredients of technoficing approach and its social impact through a case study of a social intermediary engaged in the Indian context. Easy-to-use technology, creation of linkages with community members, familiarity with activities that are being supported by digital solutions, and awareness of marginalization and social stratification emerge as essential ingredients that define digital social innovation that leverages technoficing approach.

Fußnoten
1
We acknowledge that the digital technology has potential to impact on social interactions within organizational (Qureshi et al., 2018a) and online context (e.g. Qureshi et al., 2020, 2022a); however, in this case our focus is on rural marginalized communities, sometimes referred to as the base of the pyramid populations (Qureshi et al., 2016, 2021a, b, c, d)
 
2
Progressive here is used in the limited meaning of the term. We kept this term because it is commonly used by development professionals in India. A progressive farmer, as stated here, is one who due to the availability of resources is able to adopt a new practice before others. Also, due to surplus resources, a progressive farmer is willing to take risk. Most often progressive farmers belong to the dominant caste.

An earlier study found that DG’s approach is 10 times more effective than traditional training and visit approach (Gandhi et al., 2007)
