Robert Edward Freeman
“In what sense does the Stakeholder approach, as introduced by you thirty years ago, challenge the common way of framing the corporation’s purpose? What does “managing for stakeholders” mean?”
“In light of the deep changes that we are witnessing in the global economy (the success of new economies, the spread of new economic paradigms such as the sharing economy, etc.), do you think that the evolution of Stakeholder Theory will be sufficient or a further “revolution” (as the Stakeholder Theory has been over the last decades) in the next few years / decades is necessary?”
François Maon

Simone de Colle

In what way does their contribution affect stakeholder theory?”
