Dear Colleagues,
Royston Greenwood and I are very pleased to announce a new volume has been published in our Cambridge Elements Series is available. Stakeholder Theory: Concepts and Strategies by R. Edward Freeman, Jeffrey S. Harrison, and Stelios Zyglidopoulos discusses the foundation concepts and implementation of stakeholder management as well as the advantages this approach provides to firms and their managers. They present a number of tools that managers can use to implement stakeholder thinking, better understand stakeholders and create value with and for them. The Element concludes by discussing how managers can create stakeholder oriented control systems and by examining some of the important stakeholder-related issues that are worthy of future scholarly and managerial attention.
Stakeholder Theory: Concepts and Strategies is the fourth element of the Cambridge Elements in Organization Theory series. Elements are small digital books that are available online or by print on demand. The purpose of the Cambridge Elements on Organization Theory is to systematize and contribute to our understanding of organizations and organization theory. We envisage two types of Elements. One will present and discuss core and emerging theoretical perspectives and approaches. A second will apply those perspectives to issues and outcomes, including those of long standing concern (such as achieving organizational change, managing innovation, the comparison of different types of organizations, etc.); and, more recent concerns (such as social, ethnic and gender inequality, corruption and wrongdoing, corporate social responsibility). The idea of this latter set of contributions is to show how organization theory speaks to these issues and thus highlights its application and relevance.

More importantly, you can find more information on Ed, Jeff and Stelios' book here including a link to download it for free for a limited time: https://www.cambridge.org/core/series/elements-in-organization-theory/9ABDF8B93C7F67B7B2D9F8D5EC32720C.
Happy reading and please feel free to get in touch if you would like to know more about the series or have suggestions for additional elements.
