Social issues has dominated our environment with one element incorporated into each other leading to a need for effective managerial approach in addressing the concept of thinking, ethics and corporate social responsibility based on its dynamism. Management according to Masser (1979) has been around as long as there has been a desire for deciding on a subject of interest. Approach to subjects of social interest with different schools of thought and theories were reviewed and the significant positive role corporate social responsibility played and will play where critically evaluated.

This paper aim to create awareness to researchers, academicians, stakeholders (government, companies and society) of the significant role robust management policies and CSR of organisations have on social issues and the measures to take in improving them.
