提出一种工具性利益相关者理论，综合利益相关者概念、经济理论、行为科学和伦理，认为信任、可信赖和合作等伦理原则能带来显著竞争优势，并给出九条研究命题。
This article is intended to enhance the position of stakeholder theory as an integrating theme for the business and society field. It offers an instrumental theory of stakeholder management based on a synthesis of the stakeholder concept, economic theory, behavioral science, and ethics. The core theory—that a subset of ethical principles (trust, trustworthiness, and cooperativeness) can result in significant competitive advantage—is supplemented by nine research propositions along with some research and policy implications.
