...Stakeholders, Shareholders and Wealth Maximization V. Sivarama Krishnan, University of Central Oklahoma ABSTRACT This paper attempts reconciliation between the two somewhat extreme views espoused by the shareholder wealth maximization paradigm and the stakeholder theory. The stakeholder theory challenges the basic premise built into corporate finance theory, teaching and practice. Corporate finance theory, teaching and the typically recommended practice are all built on the premise that the primary goal of a corporation should be shareholder wealth value maximization. Extant theoretical and empirical research in financial economics also generally accept shareholder wealth maximization as the normative and ideal goal on which all business decisions should be based. This paradigm assumes that there are no externalities and all the participants engaged in transactions with the firm are voluntary players competing in free, fair and competitive markets. A very different view is offered by what is loosely called stakeholder theory. The stakeholder theory posits that the focus on shareholders and firm value is misplaced and managers should be concerned with all stakeholders of the firm. The paper attempts to address what is felt as a lack of dialogue between the two camps. INTRODUCTION Corporate finance theory, teaching and the typically recommended practice at least in the US are all built on the premise that the primary goal of a corporation should be the maximization...

In your introduction give a description of what recession, recovery and growth are. Growth – this is currently taking place in China, Russia, India and Brazil where lots of new businesses are starting and other businesses growing. It was taking place in the UK prior to 2007 (when the recession started). Recession – since the global banking crisis in 2007, this is currently affecting the UK and most of the Western World although the UK is starting to recover. In this assignment you need to compare the growth in the UK prior to 2007 to where we were in the recession (looking at the labour government policies) verses where we are now under the coalition current government (coming out of recession) and what their policies are. This then needs to be related to your two organisations stating how each area affects your organisations activities and stakeholders?

...BUSINESS ETHICS AND STAKEHOLDER ANALYSIS Kenneth E. Goodpaster Abstract: Much has been written about stakeholder analysis as a process by which to introduce ethical values into management decision-making. This paper takes a critical look at the assumptions behind this idea, in an effort to understand better the meaning of ethica] management decisions. A distinction is made between stakeholder analysis and stakeholder synthesis. The two most natural kinds of stakeholder synthesis are then defined and discussed: strategic and multi-fiduciary. Paradoxically, the former appears to yield business without ethics and the latter appears to yield ethics without business. The paper concludes by suggesting that a third approach to stakeholder thinking needs to be developed, one that avoids the paradox just men* tioned and that clarifies for managers (and directors) the legitimate role of ethical considerations in decision-making. So we must think through what management should be accountable for; and how and through whom its accountability can be discharged. The stockholders' interest, both short- and long-term, is one of the areas. But it is only one. Peter Dnicker, 1988 Harvard Business Review W HAT is ethically responsible management? How can a corporation, given its economic mission, be managed with appropriate attention to ethical concerns? These are central questions in the field of business ethics. One approach to answering such questions that has become popular during...

Stakeholders can affect or be affected by changes within the organization such as objectives, issues, problems, and policies. For this organization the stakeholders are consists of employees, directors, owners, suppliers, the community, unions, and creditors. Risks, Issues, Problems, and Consequences: The problem that lies here is that there is a loophole in which those who are not authorized to have personnel access do have it; they are able to see confidential data that they should not be allowed. The issue at hand is that those employees know that there is a loophole, but still took it upon themselves to access those...
