Abstract

The authors of the study allow us to conclude that the traditional focus of innovation (banking, manufacturing, management reform, etc.) not always with the same efficiency are perceived in various regions of the country. In some regions, these innovations do not lead to social improvement, which is a prerequisite necessary for the generation and implementation of separate unit for social innovation. The article substantiates the necessity of social innovation. For example, the functioning of the Centre for social innovation city of Miskolc for the first time developed a scientific and methodical approach to their implementation. As the main structural blocks of this approach, the authors offered the following: a) definition of the relationship of local economic development and social innovation; b) formation of key areas of the social improvements of the region (employment, added value, improved health and social conditions, improvement of infrastructure, development of the settlement); с) the development of social innovation on the basis of regional system engineering knowledge; g) selection of key social innovation based on the innovation matrix, and special techniques; d) develop programs for the practical implementation of innovation social orientation. Research and guidelines proposed in the article, were tested by the authors over the last two years. As a result a General conclusion that the biggest obstacle to social innovation is not lack of resources but lack of ideas and desires from a local and Central managerial elite. Problem statement. Studies show that different regions of any country develop in different ways. They differ in the level of employment, wages, value added, the level of expenditures on research, infrastructural support, etc. typically, the regions that are closer to the capital, to the Central government have the best social indicators, while peripheral regions are the worst. Therefore, there arises a problem of a particular alignment of social indicators across regions of the country, creation tank for social innovation, the implementation of which will contribute to this task. Analysis of recent research and publications. The innovation is an important influencing factor which determines the development of cen-tre-periphery relations. According to several empirical analyses, the economic output of the settlements and regions with outstanding innovation potential is also significantly higher in the converging countries than that of the territories with the lack of innovation [1-20]. While the R&D&I input, output and result indicators of the centres are much higher than the national average, the peripheries have values much be-low the national average. It has also got a dependent role on the fact that the European Union has supervised its innovation policy in the last two decades [5-8]. As a result of this, the support of social innovation became more important, which can foster the convergence mainly in the case of the peripheries [15; 17; 19]. Unsettled components of the general problem. Among the studied works, it should be noted that insufficient attention is paid to the methods of selecting the best alternatives for the implementation of social innovation. That's why the authors define the problem in this article. The aim of the article is identification of essence and features of application of social innovation in the current economic conditions of the Republic of Hungary. In order to realize this goal, it is necessary
