We argue that though stakeholder theory has much to recommend it, particularly as a heuristic for thinking about business firms properly as involving the economic interests of other groups beyond those of the shareholders or other equity owners, the theory is limited by its focus on the interests of...

Corporate decision-making must include an appreciation of these ethical values even though they cannot be captured in stakeholder theory.
