Unlike traditional narrative-driven books, the Cambridge Handbook presents a compilation of research approaches rather than a linear storyline. However, don’t be discouraged by its formal structure! The authors skillfully present each approach in an engaging manner that caters to readers with varying levels of expertise.

By delving into diverse research approaches, the authors provoke introspection on our own value systems and challenge us to critically evaluate moral decision-making processes within organizations.
Critical Reflections:
While the book generally excels in presenting various research approaches with clarity and depth, it occasionally veers toward complexity that may overwhelm readers new to the subject.

R Edward Freeman S Selected Works On Stakeholder Theory And Business Ethics

Publisher by : Springer Nature
ISBN :
Description : Ed Freeman’s influential ideas on stakeholder theory, business ethics, humanities, and capitalism became foundational in the management field and turned around the mainstream thinking about business. Stakeholder theory developed by Freeman and others posits that business is not as much about profits, but rather about creating value for its stakeholders, including employees, customers, communities, financiers, and suppliers. The relationship between a company and its stakeholders is the essence of business and should be of utmost attention to its managers. Managers should avoid resorting to trade-offs by prioritizing one stakeholder group (e.g., shareholders) over the others and strive to run their companies in the interests of all stakeholders. The idea of pursuing the interests of all stakeholders became revolutionary in management and went far beyond the management field, expanding to Law, Health Care, Education, Public Policy and Administration, and Environmental Policy. This book is a collection of Ed Freeman’s most influential and important works on stakeholder theory as well as business ethics, humanities, and capitalism....
