Literature reveals that issues relating to housing project abandonment have become a global discourse. Hence, efforts have been made by researchers, government, and non-governmental agencies to delve into its causes, effects, and remedies. Notwithstanding all these efforts, the soaring rate of the menace gives one cause to worry. In light of this, this research work proffers the Stakeholders' theory as an alternative panacea to the incessant abandonment of housing projects. This is believed to be an effective instrument if tenaciously implemented as it is expected to bridge the global housing shortage.

Corporate philanthropy, as an expression of commitment to the common good, can contribute to the creation of social value in companies. This corporate philanthropy can be managed in various ways. The choice of how to channel corporate philanthropy could be, in accordance with stakeholder theory, the result of companies' interactions with key stakeholders and, in accordance with the theory of signaling, a signal that companies use to respond to their demands. This approach contributes to the literature on bottom-up initiatives (stakeholder–managers) as opposed to top-down strategies (board–stakeholders) in relation to corporate social responsibility, which is becoming increasingly important in a society where networks of communication, cooperation and interaction are established. To this end, a study was conducted on 221 European companies indexed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices in the year 2018. The findings have several practical implications: The management of corporate philanthropy should take into account the stakeholders' requirements, and stakeholders show greater affinity and trust with the company when philanthropy is channeled through foundations. By contrast, donations are not associated with stakeholder attitudes. As a theoretical implication, this paper supports the theories of stakeholders and signaling by explaining the role of philanthropy in the relationship with stakeholders. ; RD PROJECTS ; European Union (EU) B1-SEJ-387-UGR18

The participation in the company is a longstanding issue in research on business organization, but usually is explained around workers and not around the highest levels of corporate governance. In the modern businesses, the value contribution of capital is dwindling, and the risk, in many situations, is shared by all of the stakeholders of the company. If the added value and the assumed risk are not unique to the shareholders, why should be the government right unique for shareholder? In this paper we reflect on the foundations of the participation of different stakeholders that group the company. We debate the problems associated with the manipulation of Stakeholder Theory, and the depletion deduction of it; moreover, we propose to take the ontological perspective and a practical approach of inductive character. The main contribution of work is to provide a methodological guide which summarizes the participation in organizations of stakeholders. ; La participación en la empresa es un tema de larga trayectoria en la investigación sobre organización empresarial; sin embargo, por lo general, se ha reducido únicamente a los trabajadores y ha excluido los niveles más altos de gobierno corporativo. En las modernas empresas, el valor aportado por el capital es cada vez más reducido, y el riesgo, en muchas ocasiones, es compartido por el conjunto de stakeholders de la empresa. Si la aportación de valor y la asunción de riesgos no son exclusivos de los shareholders, ¿por qué los derechos de gobierno han de ser únicos para los shareholders? En este artículo se reflexiona sobre los fundamentos de la participación de los diferentes grupos de interés que componen la empresa. Se abordan los problemas vinculados a la instrumentalización de la Teoría de Stakeholders, y al agotamiento deductivo de la misma y se propone adoptar la perspectiva ontológica, así como un acercamiento práctico de carácter inductivo. La principal aportación del trabajo es ofrecer una guía metodológica en la que se resume la participación de los stakeholders en las organizaciones.

Many are praising a recent Business Roundtable announcement that corporations should serve stakeholders as well as shareholders. On the surface, this may seem like a historic reversal of the status quo that has held since Milton Friedman's famous "shareholder primacy" theory was put forward in the 70s. But it's not that simple.

On this episode, Kate and Luigi layout the history of this theory, revealing that it's really been around for as long as we've been asking the most fundamental question in business: what is the purpose of a corporation? They explore that question, and interrogate the possible underlying motives behind the Business Roundtable's decision.
