The theory emphasizes corporate social responsibility and the importance of ethical, moral business practices to maintain good relationships with stakeholders and allow the business to prosper.

Stakeholder theory presentation
Stakeholder theory proposes that businesses should consider the interests of all stakeholders - including customers, suppliers, employees, and investors - not just owners and shareholders. Introduced by Edward Freeman in 1984, it suggests that paying attention to stakeholders leads to greater overall profit. The theory is important because it influences how businesses think about corporate social responsibility and maintaining moral and honorable behavior in order to earn profits. While some criticism argues it needs refinement, stakeholder theory promotes the idea that without ethics, a business focused solely on profits can do more harm than good.
Stakeholder Theory, Ethics 209
There are various stakeholders in an organization including inside stakeholders like managers and employees, and outside stakeholders like customers, suppliers, and the local community. Managers must balance satisfying the goals of all stakeholders to ensure organizational effectiveness. However, the goals of managers and shareholders may conflict, creating an agency problem. Managers can use incentives and governance mechanisms to align their interests with shareholders and solve the agency problem. Organizations also face ethical dilemmas when stakeholder interests conflict, so they must establish ethical codes and cultures through leadership, policies, and structures.

An Introduction To Stakeholder Theory
There are two main theories of stakeholder management: Milton Friedman's theory that only shareholders matter, and Freeman's theory that all stakeholder groups are important to manage. Freeman argued that identifying and managing stakeholders is important for a corporation's consent to operate from the community. Key stakeholder groups include investors, employees, suppliers, customers, and governments. Effective stakeholder management involves identifying stakeholder groups, their interests, and priorities; communicating with them through appropriate channels; and integrating stakeholder analysis into strategic planning and issues management.
Stakeholders
This document discusses stakeholders in organizations and their relationships with managers. It defines stakeholders as anyone with an interest in an organization, separating them into inside stakeholders like managers and employees, and outside stakeholders like customers, suppliers, and the government. It describes how managers must balance competing stakeholder goals and allocate resources to satisfy their various interests. The CEO plays a key role in setting goals and strategy to influence organizational effectiveness for stakeholders. Agency theory is also introduced to explain conflicts that can arise between shareholders and top managers.
FECTS OF STRESS AND FATIGUE ON PILOTS
Pilot stress and fatigue are two major factors that impair aviation safety. Stress stems from job pressures and unstable work environments, while fatigue results from extended duty times, disrupted sleep schedules, and long-haul or night flights. Studies have linked life stresses, work stresses, and fatigue to reduced pilot performance and increased risk of aircraft accidents. Aviation regulators have imposed flight and duty time limits to address fatigue, but pilots and crews continue calling for reforms to further improve safety.
Business ethics
Business refers to work, efforts and acts of people being busy in connection with the production of wealth.
business ethics ch.1 by ferrell
Business ethics are important for companies to study for several reasons:
1) Reports of unethical business behavior are rising and stakeholder trust is declining, so studying ethics helps address these issues.
2) Individual ethics alone is not enough - companies need to establish ethical standards and practices at the organizational level.
3) Understanding ethics helps companies identify ethical issues that are important to key stakeholders like customers, investors, and employees.

Finally, it provides an overview of primary and secondary stakeholders, outlining their interests and power in relation to businesses.
The Corporation And Its Stakeholders
The document discusses stakeholders and sustainability. It defines stakeholders as any group affected by a company's decisions and divides them into market and non-market stakeholders. It argues that companies should identify relevant stakeholders, understand their interests and power, and engage with them to learn expectations and find solutions. Engaging stakeholders can help companies improve reputation and gain support while mitigating critics. The challenges are that stakeholders are complex and changing over time and technology.
Balancing Stakeholders and Shareholders
Good corporate governance involves balancing the interests of stakeholders and shareholders. It requires transparency, fairness, accountability, and responsibility. An effective system of corporate governance achieves long-term strategic goals while meeting stakeholder expectations and complying with legal requirements. Both stakeholders and shareholders are important, and corporations must balance their needs - stakeholders are anyone impacted by the company while shareholders own stock and have rights related to dividends and voting. The case studies discuss issues around a bank that had employee theft and lost customer funds.

Warren Buffet: The Oracle of Omaha
Warren Buffett did not change his life plans when he was rejected by Harvard. An avid reader with a photographic memory, he persevered. He researched other universities and discovered that Benjamin Graham, the author of the The Intelligent Investor, was a professor at Columbia University. He immediately enrolled there, was accepted, and became the star pupil and eventual partner of the famous Graham. After graduating, Buffett started a lucrative career, taking ownership in companies that he believed would do well in business.
Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, has become a conglomerate with ownership in well-performing companies, including Geico, Heinz, Benjamin Moore, and See’s Candies. Because Berkshire Hathaway owns companies in so many different industries, it reduces the risk that the failure of any one industry will significantly affect the company. Most importantly, Buffett believes in these firms and their value, a strategy that has made him one of the 10 richest people in the world.
Leading such a variety of companies comes with challenges as well. Companies require leaders who know the business and have specialized expertise—something nearly impossible for one person to do with so many different business areas. For this reason, Buffett depends on his managers to lead the various companies. He believes giving his managers autonomy allows them to achieve their highest performance. He wants his managers to “own” their job. By hiring knowledgeable managers and empowering them to run the companies as they believe best, Buffett is able to lead his vast business conglomerate successfully.
Buffett’s organizational leadership philosophy includes focusing on the business. At his headquarters, 25 people run the organization. He encourages entrepreneurs “to focus on the business and not growing a large staff.” Buffett has earned the moniker “Oracle of Omaha” because he has lived there most of his life and many investors follow his advice and decisions.1

Introduction
We begin our study of business in this chapter by examining the fundamentals of business and economics. First, we introduce the nature of business, including its goals, activities, and participants. Next, we describe the basics of economics and apply them to the U.S. economy. Finally, we establish a framework for studying business in this text.
The Nature of Business
A business tries to earn a profit by providing products that satisfy people’s needs. The outcomes of its efforts are products that have both tangible and intangible characteristics that provide satisfaction and benefits. When you purchase a product, you are buying the benefits and satisfaction you think the product will provide. A Subway sandwich, for example, may be purchased to satisfy hunger, while a Honda Accord may be purchased to satisfy the need for transportation and ...

It examines five main arguments: 1) The Milton Friedman argument that the sole duty of business is profit maximization within the law.

The author argues incentives alone are insufficient without an underlying ethical culture. 3) The argument that ethics is a personal preference and cannot be studied rationally. The author argues this view misunderstands what can be studied in business ethics. 4) The argument that moral character is formed in childhood, not in business school. The author argues ethics education can still influence behavior. 5) The argument that students will
Intrapreneurship
Intrapreneurship involves taking on an entrepreneurial role within a large company by developing new ideas and innovations. An intrapreneur is defined as an individual within an organization who takes responsibility for turning ideas into profitable products through risk-taking and innovation. Companies benefit from intrapreneurship through competitive advantages from new innovations that intrapreneurs bring to market. Intrapreneurs benefit through flexibility, recognition, increased value to the organization, and increased compensation. For intrapreneurship to succeed, companies must encourage creativity, grant ownership to intrapreneurs, and treat intrapreneurial teams as profit centers.

Here are four international barriers in trading with examples:
1. Economic barriers - Level of economic development between countries can be a barrier. For example, it is easier for industrialized countries like the US to trade with each other than with less developed countries.
2. Political & legal barriers - Laws and regulations between countries differ. Tariffs imposed by governments can barrier trade. For example, the US-China trade war increasing tariffs on each other's goods.
3. Social & cultural barriers - Differences in culture between countries make it harder to understand customer preferences. For example, advertising must be adapted to different cultural norms.
4. Technological barriers - Variations in technology infrastructure and access between countries pose challenges. For

Organizations that support ethics initiatives show more productivity and employee retention than those that only focus on legal compliance. When a business operates ethically, it garners respect from within and outside the company. Employees are also more likely to stay at companies that promote ethical conduct. Consumers demonstrate loyalty to companies that exhibit strong corporate responsibility. The purpose of a business ethics code is to outline acceptable and unacceptable behaviors to regulate conduct where profit is the primary motive. Business ethics are important for companies' long-term survival and reputation.

- 11. Example- Greenpeace Organization It was created in 1971.
