Stakeholder Approach (stakeholder + approach)
Selected AbstractsEXPLORING THE AMBIGUITY OF HYBRID ORGANISATIONS: A STAKEHOLDER APPROACHFINANCIAL ACCOUNTABILITY & MANAGEMENT, Issue 3 2009Anna Thomasson This paper focuses on hybrid organisations, which have both public and private sector elements. Therefore, stakeholders of hybrid organisations have different views regarding what to expect from the organisation and the role of stakeholders tend to be multifaceted. This creates ambiguity that imposes demands on the management of hybrid organisations. In this paper a stakeholder approach is used in order to explore the ambiguity of hybrid organisations and the demands this imposes on managers. [source] 25 years of stakeholder theory in project management literature (1984,2009)PROJECT MANAGEMENT JOURNAL, Issue 4 2010Paul Littau Abstract After 25 years from its inception by Freeman in 1984, the stakeholder approach enjoys support from a growing community of researchers and practitioners. In this article, we try to outline this development by carrying out a meta-analysis within the leading project management journals. We found that stakeholder theory is predominantly fed by articles from Anglo-American countries and applied in the construction and IT sectors. The understanding of the stakeholder notion is moved towards a more complex view. Articles from different project management areas indicate the key role of stakeholders in projects. [source] Corporate responsibility perceptions in change: Finnish managers' views on stakeholder issues from 1994 to 2004BUSINESS ETHICS: A EUROPEAN REVIEW, Issue 1 2010Johanna Kujala The purpose of this paper is to investigate the changes in Finnish managers' corporate responsibility perceptions from 1994 to 2004. Following earlier research, the concept of corporate responsibility is operationalised using the stakeholder approach. Empirically, we ask how managers' views on stakeholder issues have changed during the 10-year research period, and how managers' stakeholder orientation compares with their economic orientation. The data were collected using a survey research instrument in the years 1994, 1999 and 2004. The research results show a positive change in managers' corporate responsibility perceptions during this time period. In addition, managers' stakeholder orientation seems to be in balance with their economic orientation. However, the economic context , in terms of both their own company's economic position and the general economic situation , has an effect on managers' stakeholder orientation. [source] Shareholders versus stakeholders: corporate mission statements and investor returnsBUSINESS ETHICS: A EUROPEAN REVIEW, Issue 4 2002Mohammed Omran This paper seeks to discover whether companies that adopt a stakeholder approach, and thereby demonstrate a wider remit of corporate responsibility, provide inferior returns to those that embrace the shareholder value approach. To classify approaches, mission statements were analysed, the final sample comprising 32 shareholder oriented companies and 48 stakeholder oriented companies. To assess performance both accounting,based and market,based measures were used. A number of moderating variables were taken into account: systematic (beta) risk, gearing (long,term debt to total long,term finance), tax ratios, and firm size. ANOVA and Kruskall,Wallis tests revealed that mission orientation did not affect performance, whether in terms of stock returns or excess returns. Neither were accounting returns on equity different overall, although shareholder oriented companies experienced wider variations in this measure. A number of multiple regressions were also performed. However, the mission dummy was not found to be a significant variable. [source] | ||||||||||
