摘要:The purpose of this article is to investigate the positioning of CSR-related objectives within the structure of corporate innovation objectives of firms. The study is based on firm level data from Polish wave of Community Innovation Survey for 2008-2010. Analysis shows that CSR-related innovation objectives are aimed at building cost-based competitive advantage. Moreover,we show that better performing innovators indicate higher importance of CSR-related objectives than less successful innovators. Finally,we argue that the lowest importance of CSR-related objectives in whole structure of innovation objectives for all studied Polish innovating firms indicates that CSR is still not fully embedded in their corporate strategies.
