Caring: An Expression of Being Rather than Doing
Proceedings of the International Association for Business and Society
(1998)
Abstract
Most of the conversation regarding stakeholder theory has been conducted in the language of doing, of concrete actions taken to deal with stakeholders. More recently, conversations have occurred that have a different perspective on stakeholder theory. We believe that these conversations must use a language of being, of a quality of charactercaring for others—that is the goal of the actor.
