Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines the potential of digital platforms to drive transformative social innovation and create new services that promote social inclusion. By integrating transformative service research (TSR) with social innovation literature, this study presents an interdisciplinary framework that highlights the role of digital platforms in alleviating the suffering of vulnerable populations and fostering happiness, thereby enhancing social conditions and community well-being. Empirical examples, such as Kiva, Duolingo, and Change.org, demonstrate the practical application of this framework in finance, education, and civic engagement. This research advances the conceptual foundation of TSR, offering valuable insights for academics, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to leverage digital platforms for social inclusion and societal improvement.
