Study Notes
Stakeholder Theory and Criticisms
- Freeman's approach to stakeholder theory is prescriptive, emphasizing the need for businesses to adopt a plural perspective.
- This approach can lead to complexity and clashes of interests, but Freeman is optimistic about capitalistic agents' willingness to adopt reasonable pluralism.
- In contrast, Friedman's approach is non-prescriptive, advocating for businesses to operate independently without interference.
Moral and Political Perspectives
- The stakeholder theory has a moral perspective, centered on "reasonable pluralism" and "richesse oblige" (philanthro-capitalism).
- Philanthro-capitalism can be seen as undemocratic, as it allows powerful stakeholders to influence decisions without democratic oversight.
- Theoretical flaws in stakeholder theory include an overemphasis on powerful stakeholders, firm-centric models, and a lack of consideration for ethical implications.
Fairness and Justice
- The concept of fairness is influenced by etymology, tracing back to the idea of harmony, order, and beauty.
- Fairness is context-dependent, and what is considered fair in one situation may not be in another.
- The notion of "truth" is not fixed and can be influenced by social manipulation.
- Individual autonomy is maintained within a network of relationships and power interests, shaping our conception of ourselves and others.
Organizational Justice
- Justice implies something more than just applying the law, and is grounded in ethics.
- Justice is not equivalent to ethics, but rather a moral concept that can violate ethics.
- Rhodes argues that justice is not about how others treat us, but about how we treat others; it is a socializing concept rather than an egocentric one.
CSR and Performance
- The moral underpinnings of CSR are unclear, and responsiveness (CSR2) has limitations.
- Moving from responsiveness to performance, CSR should provide clear outlines for practitioners.
- The pyramid of CSR consists of economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities.
Natural Contract and Humanity's Impact on Nature
- The concept of a social contract allows us to reframe from violence with respect to each other.
- The natural contract, proposed by Serres, would allow us to reframe from violence with respect to nature.
- Humanity's impact on nature has become significant, and we need to find a way to live together with nature.
- Nature is not just an instrumental source, but has value in and for itself, and is deeply intertwined with culture.
