| Abstract: | This article examines the true story of the actions of a middle manager in a major industrial company after the unexpected death of one of his employees. This study takes an analytical approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) which is done by discussing the overlap between CSR and human resource management (HRM). Since the managerial practice seems to indicate that CSR and HRM have merged into one, the story induces to question the upholding of CSR and HRM as separate theoretical fields. The story also indicates that the borders of "public" and "private" roles in managerial practice are blurred. It is found out that to be a middle manager today is quite complicated. The article also discusses why the writing of policies may not be the answer to this problem. |
