WHAT DOES SOCIETY EXPECT FROM ORGANIZATIONS AND MANAGERS?

Introduction:

TOMS Shoes has a unique idea to promote corporate social responsibility. For each pair of shoes it sells, it donates a pair to a child in need. Founded by Blake Mycoskle, who experienced firsthand the injuries that children suffer when they have no shoes, the business concept is one of mixing charity with commerce.  For Blake Mycoskle, the ability for TOMS to produce a profit is just as important as his commitment to social responsibility. The question for TOMS concerns their ability to stay profitable and still be socially responsible.  How do they maintain this balance?
