Excellent video. Mr Freeman is a truly engaging scholar.

Businesses exist to serve customers and make a profit for shareholders. All stakeholders are not equal. Yes, businesses need to care about employees, the community, the environment, etc., but treating them as equal to customers and owners makes no sense.

A fundamental management principle is to FOCUS. This guy wants businesses to turn into government agencies. He has obviously never worked in a REAL business with REAL people.

@ukpropaganda because you didn't watch the whole video or grasp his theory in its entirety. You took away only what you need inorder to enforce your antiestablishment points of view.

In argument, I interpret Freeman's theory to be very market-based.

Thanks for the wonderful resource. My research is based on Google's corporate values while operating in China as based on R. E. Freeman's stakeholder theory — principles straight from the horse's mouth!
