This paper highlights the variety of social innovation and corporate social innovation definitions, and concepts that have been proposed by scholars in the area of sociology, technological innovations and economics. However, there is no commonly agreed definition, as it depends on the multidisciplinary field, sector and country. In particular, the concept from the business perspective is still vague. This study discovered that widespread ambiguities and vagueness dominate the concept of social innovation in general, making it difficult to reach a common, unifying definition. Thus, this aims to analyze the contributions, discussions and arguments of corporate social innovation (CSI) to be used as guidance for practitioners in business corporations to understand how the concept can be implemented.
