Edward D. Freeman

Edward D. Freeman is a respected scholar in business ethics and management. He is well-known for developing the "stakeholder theory," which emphasizes that companies should consider the interests of all parties affected by their actions—such as employees, customers, communities, and shareholders—rather than focusing solely on maximizing profits for shareholders. His work promotes responsible and ethical decision-making that benefits both businesses and society, encouraging organizations to build trust and sustainable success through ethical leadership and stakeholder engagement.
