Much of it has been shrouded in academic jargon and focused on parochial academic disputes, and none has been fully integrated with functional aspects of academic management. With this book, Post, Preston, and Sachs have given voice to the stakeholder intuition in a way that both managers and academics can recognize. The authors are highly respected scholars, themselves instrumental in popularizing the stakeholder terminology. When Preston, Post, and Sachs discuss stakeholders, academics listen. With this book, managers can listen as well." -- Thomas Donaldson, The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania " This is an important book, not only for its abundant empirical evidence gathered from the experiences of Cummins Engine Company, Motorola, and Shell, but also for its insightful theoretical analysis. Written by some of the major scholars in the field, Redefining the Corporation is the thinking person' s guide to maintaining corporate vitality while living in a humane community." -- Oliver F. Williams, Center for Ethics in Business, University of Notre Dame |
