The State of Stakeholder Capitalism

The Enterprise Engagement Alliance Purpose Leadership, Stakeholder Management YouTube channel features a live update with business leaders whose work supports the principles of stakeholder capitalism.

What is the state of stakeholder capitalism today in the US and around the world? Did the anti-woke movement crush this alternative approach to capitalism

that focuses on value creation, or is it continuing to thrive?

Below are just some of the questions that show host Bruce Bolger, Enterprise Engagement Alliance Founder, will address to:

R. Edward Freeman, Professor, Business Administration at the Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia, author of the seminar work published in 1984, Strategic Management: A Stakeholder Approach, and often called the “father” of stakeholder capitalism.
David van Adelsberg, is a Partner of the Irrational Capital, the analytics firm that has developed the Human Capital Factor, a framework for establishing future value creation based on the effectiveness of employee management. See ESM: The Holy Grail of Investing and HR? New Solution Connects Human Capital to Return on Equity.
Martin Whittaker, CEO, JUST Capital, one of the world’s leading proponents of stakeholder capitalism, whose data is used to manage the Goldman Sachs JUST ETF.

The program will address:

An update on what stakeholder capitalism is and isn’t along with a brief discussion of its history and roots.
What happened to the subject after the Business Roundtable stakeholder capitalism pronouncement in 2019?
What is the current level of awareness of stakeholder capitalism in the US and around the world?
What do people generally think of stakeholder capitalism when it is explained to them?
With the best-known proponents all retiring---Klaus Schwab, Jamie Dimon, and Larry Fink retiring--is that a setback? Who could replace them?
What will be the drivers of stakeholder capitalism, if any, going forward?

Editor’s note: For a human resources perspective on stakeholder capitalism, EEA has invited David Ulrich, a near legend in the human resources field, to discuss his vision about “Creating Stakeholder Value Through Human Capability” in a live show in January. He is Rensis Likert Professor, Ross School of Business University of Michigan and Partner at The RBL Group human capital advisory firm. He is an early advocate of a strategic and stakeholder- oriented approach to human resources as a source for value creation. The live show is on Jan. 27 at 10 am ET. Click here to register.
