The aim of this paper to analyse the success factors of efficiency of social innovation and indicate the variables associated with the success factors in order to aid in decision making A number of success factors play an important part in adjusting to reach the optimal solution. The personality of the innovator, level of the innovation or the place of implementation can influence the choice and prioritizing of these factors. Identifying the forms and level of decisions in connection with success factors is the main focus of the paper, determining the presence of linked variables. A suggestion is formulated to increase the efficiency of decision making taking into consideration the applied decision methods and special features of the situation.
