This article conveys the role of companies in developing more interest in corporate social responsibility. The authors demonstrate how important it is for leadership and management of company to give back to the communities around them. Grow et al try to address the problem of some people thinking that it is wrong for some companies to have strategic tacks for corporate social responsibility. In particular, it would look like this article is meant to convince the anti-corporate social responsibility but it actually addresses all people. In the article the authors found that if companies developed a tack for corporate social responsibility then the feeling of having changed a community is what is good for such companies. This the reason for support of corporate social responsibility by many CEOs and managers.

The authors say that cross-sector partnerships are one of the major ways of resolving some of the world’s social problems. However, as indicated in the article, the authors have noted discrepancies in the application of the strategy. It is these discrepancies that have inspired the authors to compile this article. The main problem being addressed in this article is finding the link between popularity and the application of the cross-sector partnerships. The article is addressed to the general public, companies and governments that have an interest in eliminating social problems with the application of the cross-sector partnerships. The authors found that communications process and tools are some of the missing links in the use of the cross-sector partnerships (XSPs).
