Managing for Stakeholders: Survival, Reputation, and Success (The Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics Series in Ethics and Lead) by R. Edward Freeman, Jeffrey S. Harrison, and Andrew C. Wicks (Hardcover - Oct 30, 2007)

 

I started my second semester at Presidio Graduate School and read this book for my Business, Government and Civil Society class. This theory of managing a business to create value for all stakeholders is in many ways the successor to the triple bottom line theory - profit, people and planet.

Note that "stakeholder" is not the same as "shareholder". Stakeholders include all the groups of people that businesses should be responsible to including customers, employees, suppliers, financiers, communities and more. This book also discusses ethics in depth and how ethics should be inseparable from leadership and all aspects of the business.
