Convergent Stakeholder Theory
对比了社会科学与规范伦理学两种利益相关者理论路径,提出融合两者的新理论,帮助管理者建立道德且有效的商业方法。
We describe two divergent approaches to stakeholder theory—a social science approach and a normative ethics approach—and examine their differences and similarities. Since neither approach is complete without the other, we propose a new way of theorizing about organizations: the development of normatively and instrumentally sound convergent stakeholder theory. This form of theory is explicitly and unabashedly normative, demonstrating how managers can create morally sound approaches to business and make them work.
