Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach was first published in 1984 as a part of the Pitman series in Business and Public Policy. Its publication proved to be a landmark moment in the development of stakeholder theory. Widely acknowledged as a world leader in business ethics and strategic management, R. Edward Freeman's foundational work continues to inspire scholars and students concerned with a more practical view of how business and capitalism actually work. Business can be understood as a system of how we create value for stakeholders. This worldview connects business and capitalism with ethics once and for all. On the 25th anniversary of publication, Cambridge University Press are delighted to be able to offer a new print-on-demand edition of his work to a new generation of readers.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“R. Edward Freeman’s book, Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach, is THE seminal book in the field. It is the authoritative source that created the field and has had immeasurable impact on scholars, executives, and students. Ed Freeman is clearly the Father of Stakeholder Theory / Management / Approach.”
Archie B. Carroll, Director, Nonprofit Program & Professor Emeritus, Terry College of Business, University of Georgia

“Freeman’s Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach helped to define and shape our understanding of how good management practice really is based on relationships ― relationships with the stakeholders who both comprise and affect or are affected by the business. This seminal book’s message that these relationships are fundamental to success has become part of the DNA of progressive and socially sustainable companies, and has influenced new generations of scholars and managers.”
Sandra Waddock, Galligan Chair of Strategy, Professor of Management, Boston College

Book Description

Re-issue of a foundational work in the field of business ethics from R. Edward Freeman.

Best book on Instrumental Stakeholder Theory ever written

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

Best book on Instrumental Stakeholder Theory ever written. You are buying classic. Please, don't rate classic based on your preconceived notions of your world. There are other titles from the same or similar author with more current examples and definitions, but this book changed the debate about the firm in strategic management. So, I am glad it has been kept with its 1984 format mostly. More importantly, I am also glad that it helped to change things about the view of the firm.

Strategic Management by Freeman is a classic. It should be required reading for every manager and MBA student. When Freeman wrote the book, stakeholder thinking was still rather new and unusual - at least in its explicit form -, while it is now, thanks in large part to Freeman, widely accepted.
The book is, like many management books, relevant both to academic research and to day-to-day business. But, unlike many management books, this publications can actually be read both by academics and by managers, which may explain in part its impact.
Thje book makes clear that strategy, especially in the stakeholder-form, requires a proper understanding of both ethics and systems thinking. It should at least make the reader think about both.

Still relevant after 30 years

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2014

Verified Purchase

Business has after a long time caught on to the theories proposed by Prof. Freeman. His stakeholder theory is a cornerstone in recent standards such as Global Reporting Initiative and Integrated Reporting. The book is quite theoretical and some of the examples show that it was written a long time ago, but it is a must read for those interested in going back to the sources of today's Corporate Social Responsibility ideas.

Very good but a bit dated

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

Relatively short read that covers all of the topics related to understanding the stakeholder approach. The examples/cases are very good but you have to have been around a while to even remember some of the names. If you look at them for the structure of the problem and the solution you should be fine.

Anarchy is not the solution

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 26, 2016

Verified Purchase

If you want to get yourself into legal trouble and potentially face bankruptcy, use this book and follows its instruction. Freeman pays no attention to the laws that govern society e.g. property rights, and the laws in place to address problems that arise. His research methodology lacks any form of mathematical rigor that is available to analyze trends and therefore eliminate bias.

Worth every penny!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2012

I now call your book my "Management Bible" and I have referred both colleagues and faculty alike to your excellent book. It is my hope they will require this in many management courses.

Well written and well organized. Definitely needed in the field. (And you certainly met the goals expressed in the introduction of the book.)

Sincere thanks for saving me hours, for distilling some messiness, and for providing a navigable launch pad for those interested in applying new theories. Your book will never leave my shelf!
Sincerely,
PhD Candidate

Page numbers? Good book though.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 23, 2015

Excellent book, very valuable for my Corporate Governance MSc assignment. Only issue I had was that I purchased it on kindle and there were no page numbers, which for an academic book I think is somewhat poor. I had to get the page numbers through Google Books.

Please amazon/publishers, add page numbers, especially for academic books!!

Kindle edition für wissenschaftliches Arbeiten ungeeignet

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on December 20, 2016

Verified Purchase

Habe mir dieses eBook gekauft, weil in meiner Universitätsbibliothek alle Exemplare dieses Buches ausgeliehen sind. Leider wurden in der kindle Edition die Seitenzahlen weggelassen. So ist es unmöglich, aus dem Buch zu zitieren. Deshalb muss ich es leider zurückgeben und kann es niemandem empfehlen, der daraus ein Zitat für eine Projektarbeit braucht.
Das Buch an sich ist natürlich ein etabliertes Standardwerk und hätte ohne Zweifel fünf Sterne verdient. Für das unnötige Entfernen der Seitenzahlen (in der "normalen" digitalen Version der Cambridge University Press gibt es die Seitenzahlen noch) gibt es von mir zwei Sterne Abzug.

Excellent book for any business interested in stakeholder dialogues

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on May 25, 2014

Verified Purchase

I've bought the audible version (audiobook) first en the hard copy later because I wanted something I could scribble in. Great book for any business to gain insight into why understanding and talking to stakeholders is so crucially important nowadays. If it would have contained some more practical "how-to" advice it would have received 5 stars.

not enough cases and not enough depth

The book can serve as an introduction for undergraduate students. I think the author could have included more practical cases.
