Abstract
Transformational solutions are needed to tackle today’s societal challenges facing the world. These transformational solutions create value not only for their end-users and the organizations that market them, but also for society as a whole. But what is value in this context? The term is used frequently, but has different meanings in different contexts. This chapter explores the different levels of value that are relevant for innovations that address societal challenges: the user, the organization, the ecosystem and society.
