Stakeholder Theory - Implementation in Other Fields

Implementation in Other Fields

Stakeholder theory succeeds in becoming famous not only in the business ethics fields. It is used as one of the main frameworks in all corporate social responsibility methods. For example, ISO 26000 or GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) use similar methods that the one suggested by Freeman. In fields such as law, management, human resource, stakeholder theory succeeded in challenging the usual analysis frameworks, by suggesting to put stakeholders' needs at the beginning of any action. More surprisingly, some authors, such as Geoffroy Murat, tried to apply stakeholder's theory to irregular warfare.
