The Stakeholders as Investors
本文批评了将公平原则仅适用于向企业投资的利益相关者的观点,并以低技能工人为例说明这种应用无法为伦理的利益相关者理论提供基础。
In a recent contribution to this journal, Etzioni (1998) has introduced a “communitarian note on stakeholder theory” based on a principle of fairness. While we do not challenge the principle of fairness itself, we claim that when this principle is applied only to those who invest in the corporation, it cannot serve as the ground for an ethical stakeholder theory. A focus on low-skilled workers as a stakeholder group will help us to illustrate this claim.
