Stakeholder theory
The basic premise is that business organisations
have responsibility to various groups in society
(the internal and external stakeholders) and not
just the owners/ shareholders The responsibility includes a responsibility for
the natural environment
Decisions should be taken in the wider interestand not just the narrow shareholder interest

stakeholders? They are vital to the survival and success
of the organization.
Their relationship with the organizationenables them to be benefited by the

This relationship also makes it possible for
the organization to harm them or to violate
their rights.
