GOING BEYOND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY: THE CRITICAL FACTORS OF CORPORATE SOCIAL INNOVATION—AN EMPIRICAL STUDY

ABSTRACT: Corporations are continually looking for new sources of innovation. Innovation is a new way of doing things that is commercialized. The process of innovation can-not be separated from a firm’s strategic and competitive context. Today several leading companies are beginning to find inspiration in an unexpected place: the social sector. That includes natural disaster recovery programs, welfare-to-work programs, and public education development program. Indeed, a new paradigm for innovation is emerging: a partnership between private enterprise and public interest that produces profitable and sustainable change for both sides—successful private public partnerships or corporate social innovation. The development of strategic innovation through corporate social innovation has grown in importance in recent years. This study examines the critical factors which facilitate the corporate social innovation for developing strategic innovation in banking organizations. The factor analysis of data emphasizes the importance of external innovation aspects, internal innovation aspects, accountability innovation, and citizenship innovation in strategic innovation initiatives; and offers support to the growing literature arguing for a greater consideration of the human dimension in corporate social innovation implementation program. It is proposed that further research needs to be carried out to examine managerial attitudes towards the implementation process of corporate social innovation and to assess some of the practical issues involved in developing strategic innovation in banking organizations.
