摘要: Stakeholder theories propose that managers are responsible not only for maximizing shareholder value, but also taking into account the well being of other parties affected by corporate decisions. While language stakeholder theory has been taken up in industries like mining, controversy remains. Disagreements arise about apportionment costs and benefits among stakeholders, who counts as a how "costs" "benefits" to be conceived. This paper investigates these questions empirically examining one mining company talk responsibilities analysing explicit implicit values systems moral logics which inform this talk. The investigations discovered while some claims groups were readily accommodated managers, others not. Analysis value frameworks employed mangers confirms views leading theorists is grounded realities management practice behaviour.
