Corporate Governance: Stakeholder Value Versus Shareholder Value
2001
Unsatisfied with the dominating shareholders point of view, that appears to be too limited to build a relevant theory of corporate governance, we propose an enlarged definition of the value which may be called, the stakeholder value. This definition and its associated measure are more suitable for the stakeholder approach to the firm and more relevant to understand the value creation and sharing mechanisms.
O modelo da economia do bem comum: abordagem a partir da abordagem organizacional e análise bibliométrica
2019
Resumen El trabajo tuvo por objeto realizar una aproximación al modelo de la economía del bien común desde la organización de empresas, así como desde un análisis bibliométrico. Se realizó una comparación entre el enfoque empresarial de la economía del bien común y dife- rentes teorías organizativas: recursos y capacidades, stakeholders y creación de valor compartido. Mediante el análisis bibliométrico, se identificaron los trabajos publicados sobre la economía del bien común desde su surgimiento en 2010 hasta 2018, mediante búsqueda realizada en Web of Science y Dialnet. Se demuestra que su enfoque empresarial está relacionado con diferentes teorías de la organiza- ción de empresas y que a…

2014
Published version of a chapter in the book: Information and Communication Technology. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-55032-4_32 This study aims at understanding how local government from a developing country, in this case Indonesia, implement and manage eParticipation services. In doing so, we combine institutional theory and stakeholder theory to build a sharper analytical lens. From an interpretive case study in the city of Yogyakarta, we reveal the institutionalization process of the services since their inception and identify major stakeholders and their salience. Based on our findings, we propose implications for practice and suggest implicati…
"Corporate governance": approcci manageriali ed etici a confronto
2009
La crisi di fiducia che colpì il sistema delle imprese statunitense nei primi anni '70 ha promosso l'elaborazione di due distinte concezioni della corporate governance. La prima ha come referente privilegiato azionisti ed investitori ed elegge il mercato (azionario) come lo strumento principale per il governo dell'impresa. L'obiettivo di tale concezione è quello di riportare il management aziendale sotto il controllo degli azionisti. La seconda cerca invece di identificare una prospettiva che tiene nella dovuta considerazione preferenze, bisogni e diritti di tutti gli stakeholders coinvolti nel processo produttivo. Riprendendo la distinzione proposta da Hirschman, possiamo dire che mentre l…
The Role of Internal and External Stakeholders
2015
The importance attributed to stakeholder issues in contemporary higher education affairs across the globe is a reflection of the changing nature of the social pact between higher education and society, brokered via the state, with new notions of trust and accountability as well as responsiveness to societal needs and demands as key attributes. This chapter takes stock of the key findings across the BRICS as per the individual contributions presented in part III of this volume.
Stakeholder theory for the E -government context: Framing a value-oriented normative core
2018
Despite substantial investments in ICT in the public sector over the past decades, it has been hard to achieve consistent benefits. One reason for the difficulties is the gap between the expectations of key stakeholders (such as governments, businesses and citizens) and project outcomes. Though normative, descriptive and instrumental aspects of stakeholder theory have been influential in explaining stakeholder interests and relationships in the management field, e-Government researchers have rather neglected the normative core of the theory. We show how value theory can improve normative foundations in this area to provide a focused analysis of four e-Government projects. We use a multiple …
Farmers’ Proactive Behaviour An Overview about Theoretical Bases and Factors Affecting Sustainability
2020
This chapter shows a review on the extant literature on the most used socio-psychological theories employed by scholars to investigate this topic. Second, through applying an exploratory case study, carried out on a sample of wineries working in the Canton of Ticino (Switzerland), the present work intends to gather more knowledge about which factors affect wine managers’ behaviour towards the adoption of more sustainable practices into their business. The case study has been preceded by a theoretical contribution based on the two most widespread theories used in research field: Stakeholders Theory (SHT) (Freeman, 1984) and Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) (Ajzen, 1991). The decision to int…
Innovation strategies geared toward the circular economy: A case study of the organic olive-oil industry
2018
Circular Economy (CE) focuses on the (re)design of processes and products aiming to minimize negative environmental impact, by reducing the use of non-renewable resources, increasing products durability, improving waste management and enhancing the market for secondary raw materials. In the management field very few contributions deal with the topic of CE as a model that firms can implement from a business model perspective. The aim of the present study is to describe, by using a case study in olive oil industry, how firms in practice adapt their business model towards CE paradigm and the influence of personal drivers and stakeholders in this adaptation. The findings reveal that circular ec…
Intellectual evolution of strategic management and its relationship with ethics and social responsibility
2006
The main purpose here is to present an overview of the historical development of strategic management, through a critical review of the most relevant theoretical proposals, and to consider its links to ethics and corporate social responsibilities. From the very beginning of strategic management thought attempts have been made to fuse ethical aspects such as values of senior management or social values or social expectations to strategic management. More recently the stakeholder view of the firm has permitted the introduction of ethical theories into strategic management, and the resources-based view of the firm has lead to the consideration of competences, including moral virtues. Here it i…
Towards a more dynamic stakeholder model: acknowledging multiple issue arenas

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to suggest that corporate communications is becoming less predictable as interaction with stakeholders is moving from organizational control toward “issue arenas”, places of interaction where an issue is discussed by stakeholders and organizations both online and within the traditional media. The role of corporate communications and public relations (PR) is broadening beyond the traditional relationship management to issue arena monitoring.Design/methodology/approachThe paper takes a theoretical approach with six axioms suggested.FindingsSeveral central theories of corporate communications are combined with issues management and stakeholder theory to argu…
