Using the case study approach, CSR key players and beneficiaries at Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad were interviewed, several series of in-field observations of these events were conducted and the CSR documentation was reviewed to better understand the processes involved. The findings of this study indicate that the processes of managing CSR initiatives at Bank Islam have become more systematic and well-planned.
