On the basis of the analysis of contemporary world literature and the results of empirical research of social aspects of business innovations the authors put forward a hypothesis that innovation-related processes are interrelated on the micro-, mezzo-, and macro-levels.

On the other hand, the social macromedia is the key factor, determining the innovative efficiency not only of business organizations, but of society as a whole.
