This negative perception and skepticism toward the CSR messages communicate by the corporate has a matter of fact become challenge for the future development of the practice of CSR. Moreover, the response given by the media, pressuring groups and other significant groups in the community cannot be considered as a friendly and supportive action. It takes more than just a 30 second spots of TV commercial to build public trust and support. Detail information gained from an open dialogue with various stakeholders will give a better picture of how people think, hope, expect from corporation and its action.
