Featured Publications

State of the Art coverStakeholder Theory: The State of the Art, R. E. Freeman, J. Harrison, A. Wicks, B. Parmar, and S. de Colle, Cambridge University Press, 2010.

"The book is a great tool for those who want to have a deep understanding of different perspectives of stakeholder theory. It draws together research of over thirty years as it has been applied in a number of business contexts, in a way that allows readers to understand the evolution of theory, how it has been applied and what future avenues need exploration." — Michael Jay Polonsky, Deakin University, Melbourne

"Ed Freeman and his colleagues have produced an erudite, subtle, vigorously argued account of stakeholder theory. Their provocative book will not be the last word on the subject, but it is the best contribution so far to an extraordinarily important conversation." — Edwin Hartman, New York University 
  

Managing for Stakeholders coverManaging for Stakeholders: Survival, Reputation, and Success, R. Edward Freeman, Jeffrey S. Harrison, and Andrew C. Wicks, Yale University Press, 2007

“This book breaks the mold for the ‘management success’ literature. Forget what you’ve read in previous management books. Stop assuming that you have to trade off the interests of employees and customers for those of stockholders. Freeman, Harrison and Wicks show why smart managers succeed by adding value everywhere.”—Tom Donaldson, Mark O. Winkelman Professor, The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania

R. Edward Freeman, Cambridge University Press, 1984
