Dialogue on the Stakeholder Theory of the Corporation: Concepts, Evidence, and Implications
回应《管理学会评论》上一篇关于公司利益相关者理论的文章,批评其作为描述性模型时缺乏说服力和清晰度,并探讨财产权作为理论基础的稳定性问题,提出其他伦理理论作为规范性基础。
The article presents a response to an earlier article in “Academy of Management Review” regarding the stakeholder theory of the corporation from Thomas Donaldson and Lee Preston. The authors take issue with the foundation of the argument, claiming that the theory loses force and clarity when presented as a descriptive model. The article further discusses the issue of property as a basis for stakeholder theory, and illustrates the instability of this foundation through recent and current legal actions. The authors present other ethical theories that might act as a normative basis for stakeholder theory.
