In 1965, Igor Ansoff briefly discussed stakeholder theory in his book, ‘Corporate Strategy’. He argued that companies had responsibilities to various stakeholders, including workers, suppliers, managers, and, of course, stockholders. Stakeholder theory took off in 1983, when R Edward Freeman wrote ‘Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach’ https://geni.us/XzYlz From then, the term has been widely used, especially by politicians and social planners. Its use in the political domain reached its peak in the UK when Prime Minister Tony Blair floated the concept of a ‘Stakeholder Economy’ in January 1996. The stakeholders to whom companies have a responsibility: • Consumers/customers/clients • Employees • Suppliers and Contractors • Financers and Investors • Communities • Government • Interest groups • The Environment RECOMMENDED EXERCISE 1.
