ABSTRACT: The role of social criticism is increasingly important in achieving high efficiency in managing a complex system, such as the system of science and technology policies and innovation in the context of social change. The author proposes the concept of the Social Criticism Ecosystem, consisting of four subjects: 1) Policy orientations and policies on social criticism; 2) Organizations conducting social criticism; 3) Entities receiving social criticism; and 4) Political, cultural, and social contexts in which social criticism activities take place. The effectiveness of social criticism on socio-economic development policy orientations, policies, programs, and projects depends significantly on the quality of the Social Criticism Ecosystem. Next, the author proposes a model in which the Social Criticism Ecosystem acts as a feedback mechanism in system theory to adjust the management system. Finally, to contribute to improving the effectiveness of the management policy system, the author proposes several solutions to enhance the quality of the subjects in the Social Criticism Ecosystem.
