Abstract
The article focuses on corporate social innovation (CSI) concept as an engine to provide stronger links between social goals and business planning. It illustrates tangible examples of CSI implementation in Poland and verifies what types of business benefits are assigned to identified social innovation examples. The findings result from qualitative research. It is evident that CSI gets attention not only from scholars but also practitioners and that the application potential of CSI is vast.
