Purpose: This paper seeks to explain why work on the meaning of the concept of corporate identity, which has been dominantly approached from a positivistic tradition, could also be addressed from a social constructionist perspective. Approach: This objective is accomplished through the development a conceptual framework, which pulls together seven ontological assumptions within social constructionism (i.e. 1-social order, direction, stability; 2-social interaction; 3-habitualisation; 4-institutionalisation; 5-historicity; 6-control; 7-communication) with discourses emerging from a social constructionist based corporate identity model. Findings: Four ontological or social constructionist discourses (i.e. 1-social interaction, 2-habitualisation, 3-institutionalisation and 4-historicity) grounded solely on the making of meanings emerged from this study. These meaning based discourses were presented as the rationale for approaching work on the meaning of corporate identity.
