Scandinavian Stakeholder Thinking: Seminal Offerings from the Late Juha Naesi

摘要

In June 1994, a symposium dedicated to outlining the state of the art of stakeholder thinking was hosted by the Department of Management and Economics at the University of Jyvaes-kylae in Finland. The major planning efforts were made by Juha Naesi of the University of Jyvaeskylae and Steven N. Brenner from Portland State University, Oregon, USA. The result was an international conference of the highest caliber. A product of this conference was the book Understanding Stakeholder Thinking (ISBN 951-96013-6-8) comprised of chapters offered by conference participants that was edited by Juha Naesi and published by LSR Publications of Helsinki, Finland. Contributors include Steven N. Brenner, Archie B. Carroll, R. Edward Freeman and Juha Naesi. Juha Naesi wrote the introductory chapter titled "What is stakeholder thinking? A snapshot of a social theory of the firm" and a chapter within titled "A Scandinavian approach to stakeholder thinking: An analysis of its theoretical and practical uses, 1964-1980".
