Centrally, this book offers new theories with which to understand business as an organic part of the global social system, and if you take time out for this, it might change your outlook ... you will see that stakeholder thinking does not demand that firms lose resources by forcing together commercial and philanthropic objectives that are essentially cross purposed. Instead it demands that they reconceive their commercial objectives, having recognised and re-evaluated the role that stakeholders already play in their operations ... within this book you will find ... a vision with which to refine your sense of purpose. - Ethical Corporation Greenleaf have produced an excellent "manual" of stakeholder theory, practice, engagement thinking and perception which should grace the office shelf of any practitioner who works with all or some of the stakeholder sector. - Eagle Bulletin Business leaders, advocacy groups and others with an interest in corporate and stakeholder behaviour will find this book to be an important contribution. The papers provide a very readable guide to existing research. The extensive, up-to-date bibliography will prove invaluable to anyone interested in further exploring the issues ... - Natural Resources Forum... the volume demands detailed study. Overall, it moves the study of stakeholder theory from a legitimacy perspective ... to an increasing concern with stakeholder dialogue, leading to engagement of stakeholders in organizational decision-making processes ... - Social and Environmental AccountingThis volume brings together leading academic thought on stakeholder thinking. While [the] focus is on corporations, and it is mostly aimed at corporate managers, NGOs and academics, it, too, contains valuable insights for (local) government officials that will find that they share a lot of the framework and problems analysed. - European Circular Issue 21 (Autumn 2004)
