Tension Between:
SHAREHOLDER and STAKEHOLDER RIGHTS

Shareholder
 

For corporations, business ethics channels through the primary responsibility to serve shareholder (owner) interests. Obligations to other stakeholders are evaluated within the range of satisfied demands implied by shareholders.

 

 

Stakeholder
 

For corporations, business ethics initiates with all those affected by the corporation's actions. Shareholders (owners) represent only one set of multiple responsibilities that are weighed in decisions.
