Stakeholder Theory and “The Corporate Objective Revisited”
回应了Sundaram和Inkpen关于企业目标的文章，澄清了对利益相关者理论的误解，主张商业与伦理应相互关联，以更好地服务于真理和自由。
Stakeholder theory begins with the assumption that values are necessarily and explicitly a part of doing business. It asks managers to articulate the shared sense of the value they create, and what brings its core stakeholders together. It also pushes managers to be clear about how they want to do business, specifically what kinds of relationships they want and need to create with their stakeholders to deliver on their purpose. This paper offers a response to Sundaram and Inkpen's article “The Corporate Objective Revisited” by clarifying misconceptions about stakeholder theory and concluding that truth and freedom are best served by seeing business and ethics as connected.
