The primary challenge for managers today is to balance the competing interests of the firm's stakeholders, understanding that what they expect today may not be what they will expect tomorrow.<br/><br/>This tension is what makes CSR so demanding, but it is also what makes CSR integral to the firm's strategy and day-to-day operations.
