For turning in good profits, the quality issues are inevitably sacrificed by most of developers as they rush to build and complete houses.

Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the implementation of CSR in product perspective by the developers and their impacts towards the township developments in Johor Bahru. In this study, four methodologies were employed: Questionnaire, the Customer Perspective of Balanced Scorecard Strategy Map, frequency approach and cross tabulation analysis.
