In 1984, R. Edward Freeman published his landmark book, Strategic
Management: A Stakeholder Approach, a work that set the agenda for
what we now call stakeholder theory. In the intervening years, the
literature on stakeholder theory has become vast and diverse. This
book examines this body of research and assesses its relevance for
our understanding of modern business. Beginning with a discussion
of the origins and development of stakeholder theory, it shows how
this corpus of theory has influenced a variety of different fields,
including strategic management, finance, accounting, management,
marketing, law, health care, public policy, and environment. It
also features in-depth discussions of two important areas that
stakeholder theory has helped to shape and define: business ethics
and corporate social responsibility. The book concludes by arguing
that we should re-frame capitalism in the terms of stakeholder
theory so that we come to see business as creating value for
stakeholders.

This book presents a major new thematic and chronological catalogue
survey of the Columbus Museum's most significant holdings of
drawings and works on paper, including examples in graphite,
charcoal, monotype and pastel. At the heart of the Columbus
Museum's collection, and of this volume, is the work of a
remarkable individual, Dr. Phillip L. Brewer, who has amassed a
truly significant collection of American works on paper - both in
terms of its depth and breadth. For the first time this volume
presents nearly 200 of these master drawings, 120 of the most
important of which are grouped into six chapters, illustrated in
full colour, and accompanied by extended catalogue entries written
by leading experts. A further 79 works are presented as colour and
mono thumbnails interspersed amongst the images of the key works.
Included are images by Copley, West and Cole that date from the
earliest years of American nationhood; works by Oscar Bluemner,
Arthur Dove and Morton Schamberg which herald the advent of
modernism; while others by Hans Hoffmann, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Blanche
Lazzell and Rico Lebrun confirm its continued presence through such
varied expressions as social realism, surrealism and abstraction.
While artists like Milton Avery, Jack Beal, Paul Cadmus, Philip
Evergood, Nancy Grossman, and Louise Nevelson explore the strength
and beauty of the human form, James Valerio and Andrew Wyeth
document the changing faces of the natural world. Together these
works, and Lines of Discovery, offer a comprehensive survey of the
history of American art.
Public trust in business is one of the most important but least
understood issues for business leaders, public officials,
employees, NGOs and other key stakeholders. This book provides
much-needed thinking on the topic. Drawing on the expertise of an
international array of experts from academic disciplines including
business, sociology, political science and philosophy, it explores
long-term strategies for building and maintaining public trust in
business. The authors look to new ways of moving forward, by
carefully blending the latest academic research with conclusions
for future research and practice. They address core drivers of
public trust, how to manage it effectively, the consequences of low
public trust, and how best to address trust challenges and repair
trust when it has been lost. This is a must-read for business
practitioners, policy makers and students taking courses in
corporate social responsibility or business ethics.
