Read these two short summaries of this unsettled argument; Do companies exist for the benefit of the shareholders, i.e. the owners of the company, or do companies exist for the benefit of the stake holders, i.e. the employees and the economic environment that provides the company with a market? Milton Friedman, famed economist and Nobel Prize winner has laid out his ideas, and these are made available to you along with a current counter-argument published recently. Having read the two briefs, what do you think? Feel free to openly and respectfully debate through this forum.
