Description
Summary:There is a growing need to study the dynamic interdependence between business and society as a reciprocal relationship which ought to be supported and not constrained by refocusing on ethical values. Instead of describing how economic institutions impact society, the new view attempts to analyze how stakeholders‘ views and concerns affect business corporations‘ strategy assessment and formation processes. These processes can be enhanced by a renewed awareness of the moral issues at stake. The case describes the Norwegian aluminium industry‘s collective effort to gain not only deeper scientific insight into their impact on the environment but also increase their understanding of their stakeholders‘ concerns. As the analysis shows the process was definitely strengthened through what the author calls the principle of participative dialogue with stakeholders.
