Editor's Notes

- #3 Utilitarianism refers to “the Greatest Happiness Principle”.This means that what is good is what is best for the most amount of people.
- #4 Utilitarianism was founded by Jeremy Bentham. It is based on the principle of utility: actions are right if they produce happiness or pleasure. Pain, on the other hand, is evil. There is no other moral standard; only the consequences determine whether something is right or wrong. (West, n.d.)
- #5 The focus of utilitarianism is on the consequences. These consequences are measured against one ‘useful’ value: happiness, pleasure, etc. The goal is to maximize these values. Consequentialism:the right action is the one that produces the most intrinsic goodActions are morally right if it results in happiness or pleasure. (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy,n.d.)
- #6 Consequentialism:the right action is the one that produces the most intrinsic goodActions are morally right if it results in happiness or pleasure. (Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy,n.d.)
- #7 To determine whether the consequences will be for the common good, Bentham proposed that one could calculate the pleasure or pain’s: intensity nearness (or farness) duration certainty (uncertainty) fecundity purity extentThis would also help in determining what course of action to take. (Cavalier, n.d.)
- #8 According to John Stuart Mill, ““the ultimate end … is an existence exempt as far as possible from pain, and as rich as possible in enjoyments, both in point of quantity and quality … ” (Daniels Fund, n.d.). He emphasized the importance of the quality of happiness as opposed to the quantity of happiness. Utilitarianism refers to “the Greatest Happiness Principle”. What is good is what produces the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
- #9 He emphasized the importance of the quality of happiness as opposed to the quantity of happiness. Utilitarianism refers to “the Greatest Happiness Principle”. What is good is what produces the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people.
- #10 There are two types of utilitarianism. Act-utilitarianism: right action is the one that produces the best results (or least bad results) Rule-utilitarianism:right rule is the one that brings about the most good when followed (Cavalier, n.d.)
- #11 The Stakeholder Theory identifies the stakeholders of a corporation and addresses the interests of relevant parties. It focuses not just on profit maximization for shareholders of a corporation, but on value creation for all stakeholders. It was put forth by R. Edward Freeman in his book Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach.(Encyclopedia, n.d.)
- #12 According to Freedman, for any business to be successful, they must create value for: customers suppliers employees communities financiers shareholders banks etc.
- #13 Each group is important to the success of a business: Customers value products and services that meet their needs. Suppliers help businesses innovate. Employees can be motivated and put their skills to good use. Being a good member of the community helps the business avoid costly regulation. Keeping financiers happy makes sure capital is available. (Business Roundtable, 2008)
- #14 The challenge is making sure that their interests go in the same direction.
