Abstract The covid-19 pandemic has a significant impact on economic and social development. The corporations are dedicated to pandemic relief with technological innovation and new product for social good as well as the regular CSR, such as the charitable donation. There are increasingly integration and interaction between the corporations and society. So this paper proposes the concept of corporate technology for social good. Corporate technology for social good means that corporations take the initiative to use responsible and innovative technologies to solve social problems and integrate moral concepts into product design and technological application. The corporation mission is to serve the public interests of the society and pursue the improvement of social service efficiency and social value. Then, the corporations gain the commercial profits and personal values in the process of accessing collective interest. We clarify the concept of technology for social good and posit that Technology for social good can help companies gain a sustainable competitive advantage. This paper expands the previous literatures of strategic management from the perspective of relation of corporation and society and provides useful implication for the corporation practice and government regulation.
